Local Jazz Club Shuts Down

Online reviews mention stale music, lousy food and service

LOS ANGELES — Seb’s, a local bar and lounge that hosts nightly jazz shows, is going out of business after a gradual drop off in business.

“I really thought we were going to be okay after we made it through the pandemic,” said Sebastian Wilder, owner and proprietor of the establishment. “Sure, we didn’t bring in quite the same size of crowd that we had before the lockdowns, but I figured that was something affecting every business. Same thing with the lack of staffing. It just seemed like it was the new normal. Then a new bar that hosted DJ sets opened up down the street, and suddenly we can only draw a couple dozen, even on the weekends. I had no choice but to close up shop. I knew I should have named the place Chicken on a Stick.”

At press time, the property was apparently bought a holding company that manages movie star Mia Dolan’s real estate portfolio.
