Established in 1952, Melody Bar & Grill in Los Angeles was a prominent steak house through the early 1980's, then a sports bar known for being a hangout for the Lakers Basketball and King hockey players through the 90's. New owners have spent time and effort into keeping its nostalgic feel of the original establishment, with food and entertainment included, as they are the closest bar to Los Angeles International Airport.
