About The Lighthouse Cafe

The Lighthouse Cafe is a lively and iconic spot on the Hermosa Strip, known for its excellent bartender service, live music, and its connection to the film "La La Land." The bar staff is quick, efficient, and friendly, creating a fun and welcoming atmosphere for visitors. The cafe features a patio out front and seating inside on both sides of the stage, which is located in the middle of the venue. The bar runs almost the full length of the space, with restrooms and the kitchen at the back. Visitors can enjoy a variety of music, from jazz shows to rock bands, with a good sound system and vibrant lighting enhancing the experience. The food smells enticing, with fried foods often available, though some guests prefer to stick with drinks like cocktails, wine, beer, or soda. The burger (1/3 lb) is juicy and flavorful, served with iceberg lettuce. The cafe has a full bar and a small menu that offers something for everyone. Parking can be limited in front since it's a pedestrian zone, but there is parking in the back, including handicap accessible spots. The venue is accessible, although the hallway to the restrooms is narrow. The cafe is a popular place, especially during the day when cover charges are lower, making it a great destination for live music, good drinks, and a lively atmosphere.
