CBGB is a weird place. During the day, its appearance from the street makes this underground club look like an abandoned building, especially since the name of the business is drawn on the front door with spray paint. It's one of those places that draws a familiar crowd; everyone knows everyone and newcomers are easily identified and introduced to the rest of the group. The atmosphere can be considered alternative, frequented by hipsters with funky outfits, hairdos and musical interests. The best times to stop by are Wednesday, Friday, and Saturday nights. Though the ambiance has a distinctly edgy tone, the live music acts that come through are quite diverse and anyone can have a great time at the venue.

The brainchild of an artistic genius, Venice Café started as a gathering place for local artists and has evolved into a restaurant, bar, and night club. Venice Café creates an eccentric ambiance with mosaic tiles on the walkway, graffiti, old action figures nailed to the walls, and busted baby dolls hanging from the ceiling.
