House of Blues

Though its Mississippi Delta by way of Disneyland approach to decorating may be a bit much to take, the celebrity owners of this chain of restaurants and live music venues can certainly be proud of their concert calendar. And they run a tight ship -- if the time on the ticket says 8 p.m., the first band will take the stage not long after, a somewhat unusual policy for a Los Angeles club. Parking may be a bit steep (it is the Sunset Strip, after all), but considering that this has become the room of choice for up-and-coming and established performers of all genres, it's a small price to pay.
