6335 Washington Blvd.
Culver City, California
Type: Illegal
Status: Closed
Open: 1929, Close: 1938

Night club owned by Frank Sebastian. It featured musical greats, such as Louis Armstrong and Duke Ellington, during the 1930s, and sometimes broadcasted its music directly on the radio.

In 1936, the club was denied a renewal of its liquor license on the grounds that the club had allowed illegal gambling to take place on the premises (see "Archive").

Mason & Co. sold 700 of these hub mold chips in three colors to H. N. Weaver, Sebastian's Cotton Club, Culver City, California, on 4/6/1934.

Advertisement from 3/4/1933 (The Los Angeles Times).

About Illegal Casinos - by their nature, information about illegal, or unlicensed, casinos is hard to find and difficult to verify. Information presented on the ChipGuide about these casinos is provided as the result of our best efforts but may not be 100% accurate. Even if the information is accurate, gamblers move around and may take their equipment with them; items used in one casino may have also been used in others. Please send verified information about illegal casinos to the ChipGuide so that we may improve our accuracy.
