Harvelle's came recommended so we were looking forward to it. They said they open at 8 and the band goes on at 9. Well the opened 8:30. They were even open for drinks! the band didn't go on until 10:15 - 10:30 ish. They give new meaning to fashionably late.The bartender was friendly, the drinks was great but the band... More

We went to Harvelles on Super Bowl Sunday night. We got the tip from some folks we met at the bar (and the bartender, thanks David) at The Lobster. As you will read here, it is loud and loud isn't always my thing anymore now that I'm 55, but I love a cool bar with a great band and very... More

We spent New Year’s Eve at Harvelle's rocking to Gino Metteo! So much fun! Gino is a must see and Harvelle's was a great little sexy venue to experience him in. The staff was fun, the place was packed, everyone dancing and Gino's rockin’ blues was good and loud. Santa Monica is beautiful. A great way to start the New... More

It's the best.....go with friends or a date or alone even! Great location...often music is TOO loud, but it's a very fun little intimate spot near the Ocean with easy garage parking close by. Don't do the street unless you want a BIG ticket...the is one of my favorite places....it's "dance like nobody's watching " comfortable....Fabulous Music! More

Gotta love the atmosphere here. Dark and sexy says it all for me.. Looking at the featured drink menu on the web site, really makes me wish I could handle more than one beverage in a night. Everything's surprisingly inexpensive ($10 or less admission), and you can buy the tickets for any show from their Event Calendar. Good stuff. You've... More

Great club - intimate, good mix of people, and excellent music. Only one complaint... I didn't see a thing. The club is long and narrow. If you're not dancing at the front, you will not see the band on the stage from any other location in the bar. More

When you had the Del Gado Brothers they were VERY loud and just okay. Not impressed...dancing really gets in the way of enjoying the music - ever been to Cozy's? More
