LAX Jazz Club

Not always the friendliest staff, and they tend not to pay attention to any deviation from the normal order (ie: if you ask for an ingredient to be excluded from your meal... good luck). But, if you are staying at the Crowne Plaza or Sheraton (practically next door), or even just getting out of the 24-Hour Fitness next door and looking to fatten back up... Try their BBQ Chicken Pizza. A coworker introduced me to it several years ago, and while it isn't the best pizza I have ever had in my life, it is pretty amazing. It almost makes up for the shoddy service.

They also tend to make some strong drinks (atleast in my experiences), although they are at a normal hotel price (Jack & Coke for $9 last I was there), and that may deter some. They have a few beers on tap, and those are decently priced.

The overall feel is fairly laid back, and it's nothing special--don't feel you need to dress up, it's pretty casual. There is seating outside, but the bartender/waitress will not come out there to get your orders. You have to order inside. Or, you could stay inside where there are plenty of TVs to keep up with the games, and Thursday nights they have live Jazz as well.

Comfy, cushy seats and tables, the kind of "jazz" paintings that you would see on the Huxtables wall on the Cosby Show, a nice wood bar with booze behind it. Bar food available, TV's. . . .reported to have live Jazz on Thursdays, though I didn't experience that. Fine place to go if you want to sit and chat or watch the game and you're staying at the hotel. Don't think I'd make a special trip to visit though.
