Dresden

Top choice in Los Feliz & Griffith Park


Marty and Elayne have been a Los Feliz fixture since 1982 when they first brought their quirky Sinatra style to the Dresden’s mid-century lounge. He rumbles on the drums and the upright bass; she tickles the ivories and plays the flute. Both sing. Their fame peaked when they made a brief appearance in the film Swingers.

You can tap your toes in their venerated presence Tuesday to Saturday.
