Rhythm Room L.A. - Los Angeles, California

Great place to enjoy jazz music in a speakeasy kind of location.

Walking down the stairs from the main entrance literally transports you away from the craziness of downtown L.A. into a friendly and welcoming bar. There is something for everyone here. The drinks are great. Beer is fresh and cold on tap in addition to other alcoholic spirts if that is your flavor. The bar also host as a kitchen. Food is simple and taste great. Further down the bar you can be entertained with live music or converse with friends while relaxing at the multiple sofas and other seating areas. There are a few pool tables as well as board games to also pass the time. The layout of the place was great because the chill zones are separated from the bar.

Recommend you call before hand to find out live entertainment for the night. Staff was super friendly and attentive. Super clear establishment.

January 17 2025. My wife and I are going on 23 years of marriage and just recently started playing pool together. So we had the opportunity to come to this great place. I got mad points for finding out this hidden diamond where the food was more than excellent the garlic mayonnaise was delicious.

Great large spot with fun history to visit with live nightly music and fun activities to do (Pool tables, shuffleboard, ping pong, board games etc). Food and fun tasty drinks too. 10/10

Really cool underground bar/night club with great live music. We had no expectations we came by this spot and we had a really good time. The food was good and the music was even better. Here are some thoughts:

Environment
At the time you arrive you are greeted by security who will check your IDs. There is a cover charge to get in. I believe it was $5 and they do take cards if you don't have cash. Once you're in walk down a flight of steps with really cool decor. It seems like there might not be much to the place but then it opens up into the establishment with booths straight ahead, a bar to your right and further into the space is more seating, pool tables, ping pong, and shuffleboard theres are a huge projector that doubles as a stage for live music. The ambiance is real dope, it gives us gringy, speakeasy vibes but busy and lively. We came on a good night where there was great live music. You order everything at the bar - food and drinks. You can grab your drinks and they give you a number and bring your food out to you. Overall pretty easy and even when it was busy it didn't take too long to order and get everything you needed. Overall pretty good experience and really enjoyed the vibes. If you're look for a lighter crowd i suggest getting their early. It looks like it may pretty lively as the night goes on.

Service
didn't really have much service. The security was cool and welcoming - no issues there and the bartenders were pretty quick and efficient even with a huge crowd.

Food and drinks
The food was pretty solid. We had the nachos, the burger and some fries. All were good. My colleague really enjoyed the nachos - I'm not sure if it's because she likes nachos a ton or if it was just that good. lol But overall the food is good enough to go back and solid to have again.

Overall
Really cool spot and good for live music and some solid food and if you want to play some games with friends. Also good for a quick drink before going out to dinner or enjoying the rest of your night. Loved the decor and the ambiance. Would go back.

I wanted to try a new place. From the photos, I thought it would be great that it would be lively and filled with excitement.
In truth, I was disappointed 😞.
The front entrance was definitely cool; the colors and ambiance were intriguing, and most of the people were nice. Yet, we went on a late Thursday night, and the place was empty, lonely at times. Few were entertained, many just playing pool, no musical entertainment, and the only positive attribute was the bar area.
I did find some attendees being rude, cutting the bar lines, the staff not controlling the flow well, and don't get me started on parking.
You need to find a parking structure ! Come 30 min early for a parking spot. I was fortunate to get something 1 block away, and that was literally luck!. The entrance host was nice and cordial, the staff overall was great, and the decor was fine and alluring. But the food was subpar, drinks weren't potent, and the overly rude people I found were a bit too much.
I rated this place a 2.75 to a 3.
If there were more servers or músical entertainment venues ...possibly a higher score.

Amazing little hidden gem. Staff is absolutely amazing. The vibe here is top notch h. Pool tables, shuffleboard, darts, ping pong, full bar, great music. Parking can be tricky, but highly recommend and will return.

Great ambience, dim lighting, live music and 7.5/10 drinks. $5 cover on Friday.
They had bunch of board games for free,
Pool tables for $20/hr (cant prorate) hard to find a spot to sit was def pretty packed on 11pm on a Friday.
Parking was $15 next door lot

I'm very glad this place exists, because I love pool and good music. My only real complaint here is the bar - I feel like half of the bartenders hate their lives and don't want to be there. Also, the drinks on the menu are premixed and very sweet, but when I order off menu the drinks have always been sweeter than almost any other bar. Otherwise, the pool tables are in good condition, they have lovely live music on weekends, and the vibes are always good with the patrons imo. They have food, but you should really just grab pizza or tacos next door. Pool tables are 20 an hour.
