Is Catalina Bar & Grill up for sale?

L.A.'s famous jazzspot isn't confirming but Eater L.A. has gotten hold of a sale listing for an "upscale jazz club" that pretty much fits the bill (wording in the sale sheet is the same as on the restaurant's Web site). Sale price is $1.7 million. You might recall that Catalina moved a couple of years ago from its old digs on Cahuenga to a roomier spot in an office building on Sunset. I hope this isn't the end of what's been a great venue for jazz, but the economics may not be all that enticing. How 'bout it, Broad and Burkle?
