Cafe Club Fais Do Do in Los Angeles submitted Description

Originally a branch office of the First Citizens Savings Bank and Trust, the architecturally historic landmark that now houses Fais Do Do was constructed in 1930 at the height of the Art Deco period in Los Angeles. As Los Angeles spread west, eastern industrialists, silent filmmakers, and other early hipsters took over the tiny Mid-City area which soon became known as the Sugar Hill District.
Later in the 60's, the bank was converted into a neighborhood bar and underground club frequented by such legendary musicians as Sam Cooke, Billy Preston, and John Coltrane.

In 1990, the bank was renamed Café Club Fais Do-Do after the building's New Orleans vibe and the owner's desire to create a racially mixed and musically diverse club which offers Angelenos a chance to extend their social, political, and musical boundaries.

Fais Do-Do caters and hosts parties no one ever forgets. Whether you come for the scene, or rent the club for a magical evening, we invite you to join us as we make peace and have a ball.
