Rhythm Room L.A.

"A subterranean bar rich with history, offering regular live jazz, occasional dancing & billiards."

Rhythm Room L.A. is a subterranean live music venue and bar located in the Historic Core of Downtown Los Angeles, operating Thursday through Sunday. The venue centers on live jazz, pool tables, board games, cocktails, and a kitchen, all within a speakeasy-style underground space at the Hotel Hayward. The Rhythm Room name was inspired by a turn-of-the-century underground jazz speakeasy in DTLA; the current revival channels the same spirit from the 1940s. Located at 206 W. 6th St. in Downtown Los Angeles, within a 5-minute walk of Pershing Square and accessible by multiple bus lines as well as Uber and Lyft. Visitors describe the atmosphere as a welcoming escape from downtown L.A., with consistent praise for the live music, pool tables, board games, and friendly staff; food and drink highlights include pork tacos and Purple People Eater cocktails.
