"If you’re looking for a chill spot to sit back and watch live shows, Hotel Cafe in Hollywood might be your favorite new venue. Located in an alleyway a block south of Hollywood Boulevard, this cozy bar hosts intimate sessions with up-and-coming singers and comedians. They even have a dedicated LGBTQIA+ night called Queer Cafe that happens every month or so. Come for a solo nightcap or bring a couple of friends to celebrate a lineup of local queer performers before they hit it big. " - Nikko Duren
