What to Expect

The Music

Straight-ahead jazz, mostly trios and quartets, with musicians from LA and around the world. Two sets a night, and the room stays quiet enough to actually hear it.

The Wine

A curated list of boutique bottles by the glass and the bottle, with staff who’ll steer you somewhere good. Wine club members get 10% off event tickets.

The Room

Small plates from the kitchen all night. Reserve a table for the set, or take a seat at the bar. Seats are limited, so booking ahead is wise on weekends.

The Experience

The music is better when you’re here.

A night at Bacchus brings together live performances, wine, and a room with its own personality.
