The relaxed yet refined atmosphere makes it ideal for grabbing a drink or bite before catching a show nearby.

Why Concert-goers love it

Quick service and a walkable location from several West LA music venues make Joliet a smart pre-concert choice.

What People Say

Reviews from TripAdvisor and OpenTable highlight Joliet's friendly and attentive staff, unique cocktail list, and chic, intimate decor. Many guests rave about the "hidden bar" feel and say it’s a great alternative to the usual pre-show hustle. The small plates menu also gets high marks, especially for the sliders and truffle fries.

Areas for Improvement

Some guests mention that because of its speakeasy nature, it can be a bit tricky to find at first. Also, the cozy space can fill up quickly on weekends, so it’s smart to arrive early or make a reservation if you’re heading to a show afterward.

The Bottom Line

Joliet Cafe and Bar is a stylish, low-key spot with speedy service and strong drinks—perfect for concert-goers looking to start their night right.
