Sunset Strip shanty is a musical must with a renowned gospel brunch, unforgettable decor and live bands galore. – This famous shanty on the infamous Strip plays host to a broad musical spectrum, from pop stars to rappers to hardcore rock acts like Atreyu--despite its name, there's rarely genuine blues artists on the stage. That said, this is probably one of the best spots in town to garner a heaping helping of nostalgia as acts like KC and the Sunshine Band and Billy Idol perform for devotees. Sundays take a 180-degree turn ... read more

House of Blues is good! – I've been to the House of Blues a bunch and think that the food is really good. It's comfort food, so if you are looking for fine dining, go somewhere else. This is southern style food liek jambalaya and ribs and chicken. We always hit the restaurant before a show to fill our belly before we start drinking, plus you get into the show ahead of the line outside which is cool. Last week I tried the Fried Shrimp and Grits before the John Legend show and it was a good night all around....totally recommen... read more

Believe the reviews! McDonalds has better service – I have been to the HOB restaurant in New Orleans several times and all experiences were great (food, service, etc...). We went to HOB Sunset Strip "The Porch" restaurant before a show (which they advertise so you can "get in early") and it was an awful experience. The waiter took our order 20 minutes after we were seated; that was about the only time we saw him; he never even welcomed or greeted us, my steak was bloody rare when I ordered it well-done; like the other review... read more

Dinner and a Show – Too expensive for the quality of the food and service. Hey but this is Hollywood. Highly recommended before a show.

Decent place to see a show – The HOB has a cool look to it and some cool gimmicky features like a balcony that moves to the side during shows, although I think it almost makes it too Disneyland-ish. They do get the occasional good act, and some lame ones too. The valet parking is a expensive nightmare, but then again it is the strip. Overall its worth it if a band you really love is playing there.

House of Boo's – I've been to many gigs at the house of blues. All I can say is that they have the worst event staff I've ever come across. After standing in line for 2 hours waiting for a night of audiogenic extacy. The dullards of the house of blues waited intil 5 minutes before the opening band comes on to start frisking people. I am not lying when I say that the opener must of been playing in front of 20 people at the start of their set. When I finally made it into the club. They were on their last song! What do these gu... read more

Good Sound essential – House Of Blues...#1 ...NOT! Way over rated...average venue at best. Actually one of my least favorites in L.A. It's biggest down is the sound is always poor... no super loud isn't good sound.

Waste of time and money – I went here with high expectations, and was extremely let down. After waiting 30 minutes to get a seat when the resturant was about half full, I was already upset, but I tried to keep an open mind. To my suprise I was let down again. Expensive food and drinks were the least of the problems. I ordered a bowl of soup to eat.....after 45 minutes of waiting they came out and asked how my food (which I never recieved) tasted. I explained that I never recieved it and they got upset and told me that I was ... read more

If you can get into the HOB Foundation Room, go! This is a separate area at the very top of Mandalay Bay. A separate elevator with only one destination takes you there. Very cool, though we girls wondered if we were going to walk into a scene from "Eyes Wide Shut." Anyway, the atmosphere is very cool, with comfy sofas, dark wood, fireplace, and an eclectic mix of music -- Marvin Gay, 80's pop, reggae. It's like a grown-up house party with a bar. We got in on a Thurs. night w/o paying; must have been a special night or b/c we... read more
