Charlie O's is the finest Jazz joint in Los Angeles, bar none. There are nicer clubs and some great ?listening spaces,? but if you want to go to a friendly local bar that plays straight-up swing, big-band, bop, and cool jazz, then look no further, you are home. Charlie O?s is the place to go if you are really into the music--night in, night out, you will not hear better.
Pros: Great straight-up Bop, Swing, Big-Band, and Cool Jazz, REAL Jazz, no phony hipsters
Cons: Lighting is so-so, I hate lookinbg at acoustic ceiling, some food is blah, wine list is dull
