Maui Sugar Mill Saloon hosts a wide range of concerts and bands from all genres, making it an excellent place to discover new music. The venue has previously played host to the likes of Neverland Ranch Davidians, Medicine Hat, and Lonesome Captain and His Hurt Feelings. Check out the schedule on Songkick to see what’s coming up.
In a dingy strip mall out in the San Fernando Valley, this straightforward saloon has managed to do what many people thought was impossible – become an iconic rock & roll club. Founded in 1976, it’s still a dive bar in the best sense of the word but now showcases local and national rock, punk, alternative, blues and country acts 6 nights a week on its tiny stage. Owner Tim Cook and his wife, Linda, are hard-core music fans who possessed an astonishingly huge collection of ticket stubs before they bought the place in 2007.
The no-cover policy surely helped (bands share in the bar’s revenue), but it was the steady stream of top quality acts that really brought the Sugar Mill into contention for rock & roll status. It’s been named the best dive bar in Los Angeles, featured on Eye on LA and got a spread in LA Weekly. A slew of well-known musicians and bands — from Dave Grohl to Slash, Joe Bonamassa and members of Green Day, Bad Religion and Quiet Riot — have jumped on its stage.
The bar has been a favorite of regulars for over a decade, and you’ll often find a friendly face behind the bar. It’s also a great place to bring visitors and out-of-towners. Tasty causa and a friendly staff make for an enjoyable time.
