Best Historic Rock Club

Its flamenco dance shows have been a staple in Silver Lake for decades, but when El Cid became a proper club venue, it proved even more stomp-worthy. From jazz jams to raging dance parties (The Rootdown) to band bookings big (Jane's Addiction) and small (Sunset Junction locals), El Cid's old timey interior and charming outdoor patio offer a one of a kind environment. The space's well-documented capacity issues have seen some struggles over the years, but El Cid has endured even as ownership has changed hands. Most recently club impresario Steve Edleson (current Los Globos owner) sold it to Foodchain Records' Scott Milano, and so far, the place has seen a renewed zestiness -- that goes for the food, too! -Lina Lecaro
