MID-CITY, LOS ANGELES –
A revered concert hall since its opening in 1937 – and host over the years to renowned performers from Ray Charles to The Wallflowers – The Mint offers a welcome retreat for people who truly love music, its history, and live performances.
Focused these days on a hybrid of jazz, blues, and country-rock, the space exudes an unusual LA-style honky-tonk speakeasy vibe that appeals to music aficionados of all stripes.
A granite bar in front attracts easygoing young hipsters and aspiring musicians who gather for pre-show drinks beneath the collection of old 45s on the ceiling, while groups of everyday Joes vie for a spot at the tables and leather booths arranged around the small stage.
Backlit paintings of musicians provide most of the light in this cozy room, where the rapt audience generally falls silent once the band begins.
Although The Mint never gets rowdy, it still promises a high-energy night of sociable, appreciative crowds and top-line talent.
If you’ve got a big group with you, look into booking the Harry Dean Stanton room next to the stage – just e-mail The Mint at [email protected]
