The Haig
The Haig was a jazz club located at 638 South Kenmore Avenue in Hollywood. Along with the Tiffany Club it was one of Los Angeles's premier jazz venues in the 1950s and strongly associated with West Coast jazz.

Located across from the Ambassador Hotel, which housed the famous supper club, The Cocoanut Grove. The Haig club was originally a bungalow home, which was then converted by owner John Bennett into a club. It has been described as looking more like a doll house than a club.

Petrus de Haga appears as a witness on a charter of Richard de Morville, who was Constable of Scotland from 1162 to 1188, to Dryburgh Abbey. Petrus is mentioned in several charters as ''Dominus de Bemersyde'' (Master of Bemersyde) which is evidence that the family were considerable magnates at that time. de Haga was amongst ...
