Cabana Club Logo
This is a very swanky club with a superior stage, sound system and lights.  It was formerly The Sunset Room a couple years back.  Valet Parking there is a bit pricey I'm told, but it's much less expensive across the street at the Arclight Cinema self-parking structure.  Cabana Room is drinks only, no food.  The well-reviewed Sterling Steakhouse is next-door (excellent food... very, very expensive - be warned!).

There will be a $10 door.  More surprises to come!!!
