Good Food, Good Vibe
Posted by differentplaces on 01/03/2009
Restuarant - Read other reviews that knocked the food as mediocre and over priced. We ordered Flat Iron Steak Salad $13.95, Creole Shrimp on a bed of catfish and rice $16.95, and the Rib Eye $25.95 All really good and those prices didn't seem that bad. Beers were $6. Not cheap, but I've seen worse.
Perhaps HOB read some of the reviews because two other critiques were stories about cameras being banned and the problems that caused and not being able to utilize the Pass the Line benefit.
In regards to the camera issue, as soon as our driver stepped out of the car he was asked if he had a camera by the valet. A nice heads up. Don't take a camera. Cellphone with cameras are ok.. (Valet is $15, but saves the headache of searching for parking somewhere else. I heard it takes 30 minutes to clear out the cars. - We took a walk down the strip and came back to no wait. So be warned.)
As for the Pass the Line issue. Our host asked us if we had tickets to the show and told us to make sure our waiter signed the receipt. Then the first thing our waiter asked was if we had tickets and ensured we knew how to use the benefit.
(Pass the Line: If you eat dinner in the restuarant and have tickets to the show, you get to bypass the main general admission line, or after the doors open, you can go in the back way.)
The show - It was loud. But not abnormally so. We stood along the rail at the back bar for a portion of the show. Good view of the stage. Although there are pillars between the back bar and main floor, so if you're on the side and refuse to move, it's your own fault. We worked our way to the dance floor for the second and main band. No problem with views here.
Bar was efficient. A mixed drink with Grand Marinier was $11.50. Not cheap.
Atmosphere was very casual. Over 60% of the guys were in t-shirts. When I read HOB was all ages, I was still surprised to see a couple kids around 10 years old and quite a few high schoolers.

this place is truly spectacular, the sound is pretty good, but definitely not the best in LA

Sweeeeet Happy Hour
Posted by AngelenoFoodie on 09/17/2008
Check out the review of this and many other happy hours at: happiest hours(dot)blog spot(dot)com - no spaces between words, but City Search won't allow it any other way. That is the best bargain we've seen to date in the HH quest. The apps are also cheap, but there are only five to choose from - fried artichoke hearts (OMG - so good!), fried catfish nuggets with sweet potato fries (yummy!), spinach and artichoke dip (not sampled), veggie or chicken quesadilla (not on this trip) and calamari tossed with olives and herbs (and - surprise! - it was fried!) I liked the calamari, but I do wish the menu had said it was also going to be breaded and fried. Still, it was good and had a nice Mediterranean zing. Portions were huge - nothing was finished between the two of us.

Great venue, but not cheap
Posted by kiercemartin on 07/28/2008
As long as you're willing to spend some cash on drinks and parking then you'll do fine. The venue is really great and there's truly not a bad view in the house, but parking is a little tricky. I've had friends get towed trying to squeeze into street parking and I've also driven around forever looking for free parking. The truth is if you can muster the 15 for valet, it's probably not a bad idea. Otherwise as long as it's a good show, you won't have any complaints.

This is NOT, repeat NOT good Southern style eating!
Posted by LindaRouse on 07/27/2008
The food here is terrible. Yes, I said awful. It's not good even if you call it Southern or Soul or whatever. I may not be Cajun (that's a displaced Acadian from Nova Scotia who ended up in Louisiana), but I am a New Orleans native and Southern cook. Don't waste your money on the grub, baby. . . but, hey the shows are great, and thee gospel be rockin'. (I meant to write that, so simmer down.)

Fun concert venue
Posted by ucla2006 on 02/20/2008
Came here with a group of friends to see a concert and it was a great night. This is a great place to see live music because you are basically right up against the stage when you are out on the main floor and the atmosphere and crowd make it alot of fun. Be ready to spend some cash on drinks and parking and you will have a great time. I would definitely go back and recommend anyone to come here for concerts.

nice venue for live music
Posted by famousblueraincoat on 11/28/2007
overall, i really like this venue. i do wish there were seated options b/c if you're not 6 foot tall or willing to get there the minute the doors open, then it's really hard to see the stage. but it's clean, safe and gets big name acts to its relatively small venue. security is always nice. full bar. restaurant for pretty good club food if you get hungry. good vibes.

not a culinary beacon, but it's conveninet
Posted by famousblueraincoat on 11/28/2007
i wouldn't go here just for the food. in fact, i'm not sure you can! i think you have to have a ticket to the show. but ... if you are seeing a show and you are hungry, this is not a bad option. just be advised you can't see the stage from the eating area. prices are a little high for quality but this is HOB. full bar. servers are pretty hurried on busy nights. parking is crazy expensive.
