Any night is a good night. Beers $5-$9. Not bad. You can order pizza from the venue. First timers please don't block the walkway/bar to the patio . A lot of indie bands and upcoming artists . [chvrches]

Victoria Mckay

Plenty of places to sit. Small venue , so it's very intimate , making it easy to see the artist up close without having to wait in line all day.

Derek Blechinger

Awesome layout! Bar seating in the back with a slightly raised platform so you can still see the show. Dance floor on the right. Patio entrance at the back left. And cool staff to boot.

Chelsea

One of my favorite places to see a show in LA. Every view is a good view and if you get bored of the crowds take your beer out back and chat up a stranger or stare at your feet. Bring cigarettes.

Cris Cisneros

Funky Sole . Friendly , happy, positive people. A great experience. Place was packed! Great to see young folks digging music made like 20 years before they were born. Drinks were steep ($$) though.

LAist

If you're into funk, soul and fancy footwork, then Funky Sole 's on Saturday is for you. The music is hard not to dance to and you'll find yourself grooving out on a floor packed with breakers. Read more

Jerel Walliser

Is now the best venue in LA. Other spots have gotten too pricey or fallen off. Bootie parties, part time punks , funky sole , check yo ponytail and new and old underground, indie favorites

TicketWeb

Great parking and good food in the surrounding neighborhoods ! Once you get in the drinks at the full bar are inexpensive . The venue is small but every view is a great view ! Read more

Paul Masatani

smoking patio is huge, a lot of different beers on tap , intimate venue .

Joseph C

Better than the EchoPlex down the corner. Room to move & you can see who you're sweating with. $5/$10 bucks cover. On the cheap .

Jennifer

Women's restroom is behind the merch table while the men's restroom is on the opposite side of the stage. Be prepped before pushing your way through the crowd.

Adam Palermo

Not the most glamorous, but the divey vibes & iconic status give a kind of cbgb feel to an LA venue. Order Two Boots at the bar , & catch Monday night residencies to see bands on the verge of success

Forrest

On Saturday nights you should hang out on the back patio .

The Echo really is one of the best Indie clubs in the world. Pick a night. It will either be the next new sound or a classic underground act! TW ♥'s the Echo! Read more

Manda Currell

Really reasonable drinks prices for a music venue . Can usually get a beer or cider for $5-7

Karl Hobart

The Echo has the most adventurous, experimental lineup of any Eastside music venue .

Marie La Rue

One of the best music venues for up and coming bands

SPIN

Fun fact: Airborne Toxic Event played 10 of their first 12 shows here. They literally had to beg for the slot after Spaceland said no. What do you think the booking agent would say now?

Original Penguin

Going here means you’ve gotta venture out into the artists ’ Echo Park enclave. Plenty of great out-of-town bands blow through here on a regular basis, but don’t expect top-list clientele.

JD Malone

Small intimate venue . Concerts are loud and the place gets packed quickly.

CJ Bruce

Grand ole echo on Sunday afternoon/evening. Blue grass. Cheap beer . Patio . The good life

John Tashjian

The Echo: the stage is stacked on subwoofers. So you feel it in your pants.

Natalie Guerra

Great intimate music venue .

safiya hylton

Dope, intimate venue to catch a show

Eddie Schramm

This place is an incognita. I heard opera, jazz and rock in the same night. Don't go alone. Not good for flerting!

Tom Gutiz

Arrive late, drink jack and eat at two boots pizza , the vegan is awesome

ivan rhivanz

Best venue in Southern California.

Drama

Stella on tap ! Alcohol , music , and pizza from next door to you inside the bar ? too good for words! try "the dude" or "the newman"

Philip-Michael Scales

Funky. Sole. Nuff said

Isaac Murguia

They don't tell you beforehand that you can't bring your backpack and then they tell you to fuck off if you try to get back inside even though you already paid for your ticket. Full of assholes.

Zk

High ceilings .

Megan Haney

Bring cash for Two Boots pizza afterwards :)

Watched Lo-Fang perform and it was such an intimate space with interesting acoustics probably due to the wooden tresses and stucco walls. Parking in the cemetery. - K J

Tacos of course. Don't get the salsa though. Quesadillas are good too. Ask for the special and avoid this place on a Saturday night. - Janny D

The best gelato on the Eastside. So many flavors to choose, the gelato isn't freezer burned, and they do root beer floats and sundaes too! #WIN - Dominique Toney
