Hotel Cafe opened as a small coffee shop in 2000 to host singer/songwriters. Now it has two stages and is a common starting point for many successful musicians .

While best know for launching the careers of singer-songwriters like Ingrid Michaelson and Sara Bareilles, Hotel Café also boasts it's very own tour and record label.

This iconic Hollywood venue is small and intimate . Play loud ? Bring flexible gear for crunch tones at low volumes. Also, consider getting a sound board recording. The sound engineers do a great job.

Great small venue to watch a show (catch your fave band/music artist ) for that up close and intimate atmosphere experience.
