Eh. Was karaoke night on a Wednesday, maybe better on a different night. Overall nothing bad, nothing special.

I never imagined getting hit at a bar by a dancer. She hit my head with her knee, and no one came to ask if I'm okay. I felt dizzy and left the bar, and went to the ER. It was a dangerous bar and business.

Fantastic time here. It has a luxurious speakeasy vibe. Drinks were great! There was a cover for their live band for the night, which ended up being awesome as well. They had tacos from Soul Fusion Twist Catering out back - which were amazingly delicious! Great first time here.

From the moment we got to the door things were not impressive. A $5 cover fee to get in on a monday?? We have to pay the bartender our cover if we dont carrry cash and show the receipt, despite the fact the bartender was dismissive and only cared about making money. 2 drink minimum on cards so I got 2 old fashioneds for me and my friend. Terrible, using a sugar packet that I would put in my coffee is not what I expected for an old fashioned, not even simple syrup! Tasted like all liquor no flavors of angostura or orange and cherry he muddled and did a single half-hearted shake to "mix". Then when we drank our tasteless old fashioneds, if I wanted to get another drink if I closed out my original tab it's another 2 drink minimum for a new one! So my original transaction meant nothing, just a policy to get you to spend more. The vibes dont balance the rules that want to take your money. Go somewhere else and save yourself the time and agony.

My first time at the Santa Monica location was Friday night March 1. OMG what a great experience. First off Damien who reserved two seats for me because of my back issues seemed to know me when I walked in. Impressive since I have never met him before. He made me and my guest feel so welcomed. Fixed some great drinks too. As I was leaving after the great night of music, Damien told me and my guest if there is a band we are coming there to see again contact him and he'll hook us up. More music venues can learn from Damien on how to provide quality customer service to patrons. Our waitress's niceness and quality service matched her incredible beauty. More clubs waitresses can learn from her on how to provide excellent customer service. Loved the experience.

Been at the Monday jam session a few times, good vibe! Will try to be here every week. Not sure if food is still served here, never seen anyone eating...

The band was great, but the drinks were terrible. The old fashioned was watery and just wrong, the mai tai tasted like bubblegum, and common drink requests like a mojito they couldn't do at all. Get your drinks before you

Manager/bar tender/loser is incredibly rude. Scammy vibe. Held card hostage. Unauthorized charges.My boyfriend left his credit card here a little over a week ago. We were traveling so it took him a few days to come back to retrieve it. The bar opens at 8, he went in around 9pm to get his card. The bartender/manager told him they were too busy to go in the back and grab it, so he would need to come back another night. This was odd, but he lives in the neighborhood so he agreed to come back in a day or so. Tonight he went in and was met with the same “we’re too busy I can’t go get it,” but this time more aggressive and rude. At this point they are refusing to give him back his property. We also checked his card and there were unauthorized charges.There is nothing cool about this place and the bartender/manager is a real piece of trash. Scum of the earth actually. Don’t go here.Sound is also garbage. If you’re in a band, don’t play here.

Went for a county themed burlesque show called Western Revenge. Was a lot of fun, high energy show. Bar service was good, drinks were reasonably priced.

Where the heck did I go? and how can I get back again! My experience at Harvelle's was definitely a fun one. I normally find myself in Pasadena. I'm a lover of a jazz bar and an older crowd (Pasadena has a few), but I decided on something different and stuck to the Westside. I looked up who was playing at Harvelle's (Blowin Smoke) and decided to give the venue a try. Such a nice crowd. I love a diverse place where people from all walks of life can hang out, mingle and have a great time. It was such a blast and despite it being Santa Monica, there wasn't even a whisper of pretentiousness. Another cute solo date! I felt comfortable and safe at Harvelle's which is mega important as a single woman venturing out on the town. I will definitely put this place in rotation and will swing by here again (also I wanna try the 2.00 tacos in the back of the venue).
