The Mint, Los Angeles

Mint, The - The Mint proudly calls itself a “supper club”. Guests expect more than a concert – they want entertainment while they sip martinis and dine on fish or lamb chops in the club’s mint-green lounge. Famed chef Matthew Gladstone excels, serving up on of the best kobe beef burgers (with a jalepeno cheese bun and Jack Daniels barbeque sauce) in Los Angeles. Yet the music -- consistently solid and most nights $7 -- makes the place. Usually featuring jazz artists and mellow singer-songwriters, the venue fills out its lineup with quirky acts like Hot Karl or The Groovy Rednecks. Check out The Groove Pocket on Mondays—The Mint’s mix of jazz, funk, and hip hop acts that comes with the added benefit of 2 for 1 drink specials.
