The Kibitz Room has become a great place to catch your favorite music stars on stage in front of you and has become something of an Los Angeles scene. The Kibitz Room became a thriving music venue thanks to a waiter's inspiration. One of the Canter's waiters, Eric Gold, asked if his jazz band could play in the Kibitz Room on Monday nights. A lot of local musicians came in to listen, hang out, and drink $1.30 beers and some of them asked if they could come in on a Tuesday to play. That first Tuesday night, a hundred people showed up. Now there is something going on in the Kibitz every night of the week. Wednesday through Sunday may be the nights when the mood best approaches that of the good old days the neighborhood boys remember. Every night turns into a jam session by 1 a.m. The Kibitz Room is open daily from 10:00am - 1:40am. Call (323) 651-2030 for more information...."
