Patrons at 1642 can enjoy the dive-ish ambiance while snacking on salty peanuts, listening to live bands and DJs weekly, and experiencing live jazz on Wednesdays. With a strict age policy of 21 and over, this venue offers a laid-back yet vibrant atmosphere for those looking to explore the local music and craft beer scene in classic Los Angeles 1940s architecture.
