    Always a class act, O'Hara's is very popular among sophisticates of all ages. A New Orleans-style blues and jazz club, O'Hara's prides itself on giving great sax seven nights a week. Cheekiness aside, this place is a serious live music spot that charges no cover and features local and international talent such as the Funkabilly Playboys, the Dave Shelley Bluestone Blues Band and the Donna Allen Band, all different in sound, but with one thing in common -- they love to play live music to an audience that appreciates more than a DJ spinning the latest P. Diddy remix. Speaking of P. Diddy, you may find that some of the bands have a hip-hop or funky edge to their sound. If you're looking to jazz up your nightlife, O'Hara's is the place to do so. -- Lesley Abravanel

    Note: This location no longer serves food, but the location in Hollywood continues to do so.

    • It Always Sounds and Feels Right To Play

      Having played there over many years, Ohara's has been a great venue for Live Music. It always sounds right for both the musician and audience. Without that you are done... How do you play if things don't sound right?....well you may get by....but it won't be like Ohara's. Hope to play there again soon!!!

    • Irish Name, not an Irish Oub

      A wonderful place, but don't let the name fool you. This is not an Irish Pub, but an excellent place to hear good Jazz music.

      Been there a bunch.Good music, friendly peeps, crowded. Catch Gary King..he's polished and has nice range and Strat sounds and his backup cats are usually tight. Get there early and get a bar seat cause you'll wait and wait for a drink.
