    WOW I LOVE this place! It's huge and fun and upstairs was 21+ only! Long bar lines though, so get two drinks at once!

    A Los Angeles landmark! Beautiful old world feel. Great for music performances. Parking is limited so get to your event early.

    Kinda beautiful inside and out. And I love that there are so many ladies bathroom stalls and bars. Sound system can be better though.

    Soulection was 🔥, good spaces to explore and dance indoor and outdoor, hardly any seating but you won't want to with all the room for dancing.

    Small venue, so there aren't any bad seats. Bathrooms are downstairs, refreshments & alcoholic drinks are upstairs. Sound system was great!

    This fabled landmark is known for playing host to glittering awards shows, but it's gone down in history as the venue where Michael Jackson's hair caught on fire in 1984.

    Great music venue, avoid parking here and ride Metro to the Expo line Jefferson/USC station.

    Security takes forever to get in but they are swell people. Venue has seats but they let you rage in the aisles. Sound system needs more bass.

    If you find yourself in a long line for beer, just go up a level. Most events have multiple bars open.

    The Shrine is the best place for an event. Friendly and accomodating staff, great price! Better traffic than at Nokia or Kodak

    Worst concert experience ever, not a single person working at this venue knew what was going on. Lined up all day only to get pushed to the back.
