Not So Hollywood
The Studio Suite isn't much of a first date spot but it is by far THE BEST LITTLE DIVE BAR IN LOS ANGELES. Yes! I love it baby, as Dick Vitale would say. The drinks are cheap as hell and the music rocks. Actually, since I mentioned music, there is a band that goes by the name of "The Kenzos" who are unbelievable.
These guys are one of the most revolutionary bands I've heard in a long time. The sound is similar to Nirvana, Stone Temple Pilots and Jane's Addiction all wrapped in one tasty burrito. The lead singer, Joe, is crazy on stage, the bass player will crack jokes between songs and the drummer is awesome. Together these guys are an unbelievable talent. I rarely go to a bar to see a band but for these guys I'll make an exception. The Kenzos are the Studio Suites most popular band.
The parking situation is perfect. It's free! You'll always see the bands hanging out front smoking, drinking and having a great time. The types of people you'll find at Studio Suite aren't your typical "Hollywood Crowd," everyone is down to earth and very welcoming. There are pool tables in the back and the place is packed for football Sunday. The food isn't that great…but what bar food is?
Check out the Studio Suite on a Saturday night. This is the best night to go. You'll even see me there cheering on the Kenzos.
I've been to this bar. F***ing cool place. Never heard of the Kenzos but all the bands there are really good. I'm sure I've seen them,
Weird cause I heard of that band. I'm from Philly and they ROCK! Rumor has them on a mini tour back in Philly in Nov????
Oh yah, I had the food...no bueno!
Holy Frijole! Yes! The Kenzos are the best rock band in L.A.!
