Here you'll discover a 30's and 40's dance club, and hear some of L.A.'s top big bands performing on weekly basis. It's located in the historic 1927 Oviatt building, the first art deco designed building in Los Angeles.  Come and spend an evening of dinner and dancing to big band orchestras, and enjoy the ambiance of a building that was once known as the "Castle In The Sky".  You'll experience what it was like during Hollywood's golden age, where parties included guests such as Charlie Chaplin, Cecil B. Demille and many others.
