Rod (the owner) is an old friend and over the years applied his expertise to this venture when he acquired the bar. Lots of great bands and a wide variety. However, The Cinema does not allow for a mosh pit due to the size but the is very intimate dance and the wee bit o' dance floor. Rod has a knack for bringing in very good looking lady bartenders. And if you take good care of them and Rod is not looking, you will get a good pour. There is a very nice outdoor patio in the back were you probably can bring in you own food from any of the local eateries down the street (Carls jr, Cinco De Mayo, Johnnies, or any of the food coaches on Venice Blvd). Be sure to be there when Rod's niece is working the bar. She is both very nice and very exotic. Sorry Rod, your niece is HOT!!!!! If you do plan on having one too many, there are a number of motels within a block or two of the bar.
Pros: Good looking female bartenders
Cons: Small but cozy
