I’ll give 3 stars for now, but it might be 4 or 5… Let me explain, I we went on a Friday or Saturday night and the dance floor was EMPTY! I don’t recall which night it was, but we sat around waiting for someone to come. It was me and my boyfriend, a lady at the bar eating chicken(which looked delicious) and a birthday party of eight people… well, eight chairs, but only four people were in attendance. I assume it was a birthday party because I saw one of their chairs adorned with balloons. On the other side there were probably about 3 – 5 people. Not many in the entire place. The parking situation was abysmal. Very tight, small lot. But, alas, there are some highlights: *The service was great… but then again there was no one else to really tend to, but it was great nonetheless *I read other reviews about the drinks being too expensive. Personally, I feel the prices were reasonably«normal»…come on it’s a bar. You’re gonna pay a premium on your food and drinks. That’s how the real world works. Nothing to get upset over. *I liked the décor. It was really cute! *I enjoyed the DJ. He played a good mix of old school and new school… I definitely think the crowd is old school… but the music was good for all tastes. *It wasn’t crowded… plenty seats. That was a huge plus! *Clean bathrooms *I read it was always hot… the temperature felt fine to us… but then again it was practically empty I will be sure to update my review if we return. I don’t see why we wouldn’t. My boyfriend was disappointed due to the emptiness, but I think it’s possible to go back and see a crowd. Then, he’ll probably not like the crowding. Haha!

Do NOT go here till you’ve turned 75! Omgeeeee, there is nobody in this place who’s not carrying an AARP card! My cousin said to meet him here. I’d never heard of it. Looked it up on Unilocal,reviews seemed ok. Well, I’m gonna give it to you straight. SKIP this place. Everyone is on a cane or in need of one. It gets two stars, because there is no cover and there is street parking.

Great fun, entertainment and food. First Friday is the best time to come out and enjoy dancing to oldies. The fried wings and fish is really good and well seasoned. Marsha the owner is a great host and cook. Great for parties… private or open… baby shower or bridal shower… anniversary or business. Inglewood finest…

I went to a very nice Roaring 20’s birthday party at Lavender Blue. The atmosphere & crowd were on point !!! Unfortunately, the waitresses were all rude for no apparent reason ! Maybe their self-esteem couldn’t handle so many classy beautiful women in there all at the same time. Thumbs down for customer service thumbs up on everything else

Walking distance to The Forum, stiff drinks, incredible fried chicken, and great service from a humble owner.

I went there for a party the place was packed everyone was dressed up in suits and dresses and the music was amazing. The owner was very nice and I believe they serve food there but I didn’t eat. The crowd was mature and everyone seem to be having a great night. All of the hostesses we’re very kind as well.

Found this place on Unilocal while looking for a place to grab pre-concert drinks & a bite near the forum since food there sucks and drinks are ridiculously overpriced. I’m so glad we stumbled on this place because it’s a real gem! Great drinks and excellent service. Awesome music and super friendly clientele. The menu could be a bit more extensive(not many options and not super healthy), but what do you expect? It’s inglewood! Go here. You wil not be disappointed. Great bang for your buck before a concert.

Can you say hot ghetto mess. Went for a private party was charged $ 10.00 @ door drinks are unreasonably high. The floor was missing by bar and almost tripped(lawsuit in the making), and my friend paid $ 100 for a private table that only sat 4 but she squeezed in 6. To top it off a couple was literally making out at the bar kissing and grinding(there is a motel right down the street) This place is a Rip off, and never again! !!!

You must visit while in Inglewood, CA. The drinks and food are great and reasonably priced. The employees are friendly. The atmosphere is awesome with all the wood, artifacts, and history. The bar spans three buildings wide so make sure to see all of it. The neighborhood is awesome as well to walk through and to experience.

This was my first time here, and it turned out to be a real nice place. Heard about it from a couple friends, but hadn’t had a chance To come By until now. It actually was the 50th bday party of my BF coworker. Music was great! Party was 20’s theme, and DJ kept a good mixture of music playing, from today’s hits, to old school, to oldies. Didn’t get a chance to taste the food because there was food provided for the party, but I will return & will definitely try the food. The menue is very limited, but what can you expect from bar food. Seems like a great place to come if you want good music, and dancing.

So I go there for an all black attire event and got there too late to get in for free. It was $ 10 which wouldn’t have been a problem if there were a/c. It was like a sauna there. Women had their folded fans and the place was packed to the gills. Some people left and I would have too if I didn’t get dropped off. The only reason I give three stars is for the guy at the door who provided laughs and the stuff drink I had. Thank God it was still happy hour. There was no place to sit so I resorted to the outside area where there were chairs under a tent near some trash cans. Most resorted there to smoke which I don’t. I overheard people talking about how it’s always like that there so with that being said and me being in my 40’s and the youngest one there, I won’t be back. The band was good and the set up was nice but no air is a huge turn off and having to pay on top of it, please. Where are all these 5 star reviews coming from?

Great location for good local talent. Wind Down Wednesdays are great. The only thing is eating there is a little expensive(2 chicken wings, fries, and coleslaw $ 8.00). Be sure to listen and support Joe Kinkade and the Soul Brothers. Lead singer and keyboardist Darry ‘Duffy’ Glenn can really lay it down. They have a good location, all parking is on the street near the location. If you arrive after 9pm, you may not have a seat and will definitely have to park farther away.

Excellent! This place is everything! Think about it: do you REALLY want to drive that far for a good drink? For you all in the 90305, this place used to be Oasis Prime Rib. I exercise, and I pass this place everyday. Today, I saw a guy painting the window seals cobalt blue and I KNEW it was gonna be great. I live nearby so it was wonderful to drive down the street and park. My date and I ordered two small fried catfish meals. They were fresh and seasoned well(and I am pretty picky!) The music was perfect for two mid-thirty/early forty year olds. It was quaint and clean. The people were friendly too. I can’t wait to go back. Great job Lavender Blue!
