It's cool for local bands. The elevated floor is nice some short people will be able to see the bands (like myself) They don't seem to "sell out" they'll just keep packing people in there none stop. It is a fire hazard and someone that would be in a situation would have a hard time getting out. Most people are zoned out of their minds so EMS would have a difficult time getting in. The audio system isn't very good. There's a lot of highs and very little lows. Sound check seems to be lacking. Wear ear plugs if you come here. Drinks are also over priced. $17 for an 12 OZ IPA isn't worth it. Go have drink at Buzz! And save yourself A LOT. They keep the water stations FILLED up. So that's a HUGE plus. If you're prone to being anxious stay within comfortable levels. Stay safe!

Great venue. Easy to find and accessable via public transportation. Several good spots to see on the floor plus they have a balcony/upper level. Down one star for their seemingly non-existent COVID policy. Some staff were wearing mask others were not. Given the number of people in and out of the venue on any given night seems like a poor choice for employees to play russian roulette with covid.

The venue itself was really nice,security was quick and painless,only real down side is the cost of a couple of drinks. I guess when it comes to concerts you have to expect to get robbed at the bar. Otherwise sound was good building is a 1914 building so it was cool.

Saw Fontaines DC play here, and this is my first show in LA, super cool venue has an old timey feel and the acoustics are great, great show too will definitely come again! Was a lil scared at first because its by skid row but its not that bad during the day.

Ingram John Fajardo | Aug 28, 2019
Chris Valle | Aug 28, 2019

I think that's for "industry" and guests of the bands or whatever. I don't think there are ticket options for that, at least not when I went.

Sylvia San | Aug 28, 2018
Janine M. | Aug 28, 2018

There's seats upstairs but it may be VIP only. It's a slanted floor, so it's standing room only. But call ahead to be sure of what accommodations they can make for you, if any.

Was wondering about dress code. Do they allow studded belts, bondage o ring belts and spiked belts/bracelets?

BittersweetIsolation | Aug 28, 2018
andrea validus | Aug 28, 2018

Use common sense. If you have a spiked or bullet belt that has potential to be uses as a weapon to hurt someone else it's not allowed. But if the spikes are soft or the bullets not pointed or plastic it should be fine

Can my child who's 10 years old attend a all ages show without a covid-19 shot on November 7th?

Sarah Girolamo | Oct 31, 2021
big dirts | Oct 31, 2021

There is a possible chance they may require proof of a negative covid test upon entry. I recently went to a show there and i had my vax card and they still wanted me to show proof of a negative test (which i had to purchase at the drugstore around the corner $25) before they would let me enter. I would say call the venue and ask. Either way tests are available to children and infants.

Rocky Rush Rivera | Aug 28, 2019

Anita Frausto | Aug 28, 2019

Is it cold in there when it is cold out? I don't want to be stuck holding my jacket all night if it is usually warm in there.

Nicole Erny | Aug 28, 2019
David Scully | Aug 28, 2019

I have been there when its relatively cold and rainy outside. And it was plenty warm inside. I imagine that's greatly to do with the large number of people inside keeping it warm.
