The Troubadour

The late Doug Weston opened the Troubadour in '57. The club has a kitchen and three full bars , as well as a balcony that looks down over the stage & dance floor . All ages. Play here & You've Arrived! Read more

Intimate performing space with fantastic acoustics , good bars , a small kitchen, and a history that puts the Whisky to shame! Lenny Bruce was one of the. First arrests here - back in 1957. Obscenity!!

Classic west Hollywood venue for live music . Great views from multiple seats in the house, but it's all about the upstairs VIP (sometimes) area with a separate bar .

The Troubadour is a great, legendary venue! The owners are fun and the staffers are friendly . Some of the best acts from around the world perform here, so it's really a must when in LA! Read more

The music hub, with a small capacity of 400, brings you up close with your favorite musicians . If you decide to take a breather at its bar up front, don't worry about missing the show Read more

The Troubadour has a small kitchen, front and rear bars , and an intimate performance space. It exists because it sets the standard - the Whisky only wishes it sounded as good.

Troubadour has had some serious history in being one of L.A.'s top music venues . Since it opened in 1957, it has had acts like Elton John, Guns N' Roses , and Radiohead play on its stage . Read more

My favorite music venue . Small, great sound, good view from anywhere, cameras are fine, and great musical acts are always showing up.

Another wonderfully small place to see a band in LA. Pretty good parking situation as well . Plenty of lots nearby.

Cozy space to drink and listen to the blissful music with a close group of friends. Sound is great!

Take the 704 bus so you can drink AND stay for all of encores at one of LA's famous venues that still does alternative. Buy tickets at the box office to save money and check the sign for secret shows.

Perhaps the best live sound in LA! Intimate venue that sports a balcony for the less adventurous show goers. If you have the opportunity to play here DO IT! You won’t regret it!

Small enough to lend intimacy to singer-songwriters, but big enough for a raucous rock show. A favorite stop for musicians and arena headliners: Prince & Coldplay have previewed new material here. Read more

Legendary venue. Small intimate and everyone has played here.

Kick back and relax in the loft with a vip card, or get close and stand next to the stage , my favorite spot! Small venue so you're always close to the action.

Secret parking area south of the venue on Civic Center Drive where the Beverly Terrace hotel is. 100% free guaranteed parking every time. Reply me on Twitter (@mightymendoza) if you find it. ;)

The VIP bar makes up for the fact that parking around here is atrocious... It's nice to step away from the sweaty crowd, grab a drink, and watch them set up the stage on the tele.. Classy move.

Classic LA rock spot in West Hollywood. Head straight upstairs to the uniquely designed mezzanine for a less pushy shovey experience, and the best sound in the whole spot.

Great time. Clean floors & the bar was well kept! Bartenders friendly & know their drinks! Awesome place to see bands. Up close & personal.

cozy venue best used to indie rock. hip hop and dance nights get awkward in the narrow spaces.

Go here to catch great bands for cheap and the acoustics are undeniably incredible. Check out Richard Pryor's self entitled debut, also recorded here. This venue has seen it all including Bob Dylan!

Great place to go for live music . Many famous musicians played here. Definitely stop by!

I love tho place. A nightmare to he to via public transit but when one of your favorite bands is playing, it is well worth it!

Very intimate and very loud venue. Bring earplugs or buy them at the bar . You won't see music up this close anywhere else in LA.

A very small venue . Some of the security guys are super nice. Don't forget your ID if you want to drink and come early if you want a good spot (for sold out shows).

In 1957 the Everett Ellin Gallery was located in this building, and exhibited prominent American artists . Learn about art in L.A. from 1945-80 in the Getty’s Pacific Standard Time exhibitions . Read more

They have food, freely give out water, and have places in the back and upstairs to sit. Friendly staff too.

MRKTS! Support local live bands ... Don't let special venues get torn down because of lack of interest. You will regret not having the troubadour and places like it.

Bring earplugs! This place has one of the best (and loudest) sound systems in town . Also, be prepared to stand, unless in the balconies .

I love it.. Sometimes you can go and it cost $20 to see a show like Bats for Lashes, but other times, like Hall and Oats played there it was a couple of hundred dollars, WTF its not Pink Floyd.

Small venue . Close to the act. Good Jack and Cokes . We sat in the balcony , so no stress on older knees and backs.

Intimate way to see a band.

Best indoor live venue in LA . See a show here.

The sound in the Troubadour is nearly always perfect. A great venue, if rather claustrophobic at times.

This is the closest venue to our office ... and we love that fact. We also had a Secret Show with The Cure here in December of 2008!

One of the BEST venues to see a show!

Good club-size venue. Decent sound. Doesn't get too packed.

Do not come here for the food - but they have some if you need it. Nearby - Dan Tanas - the palm - and a very good Indian restaurant !

In the early '90s, Zack Zalon, cofounder of Hello Music (a 2011 Most Innovative Company), worked as a manager at this club. He brought hundreds of acts to the stage , including No Doubt and Pearl Jam .

Not a lot of more historical rock clubs in LA. Not as awesome as it used to be, but lots of awesome acts still love to play there!

James McMurtry. Fantastic opening set. Guess I'll have to make it to Austin more often.

Great place to see the best up and comers, get into the loft, it's worth it.

Probably my favorite venue in Los Angeles. Great shows and a great bar .

Truly the most intimate performing space in LA.

Have cash on hand, people. Finding an ATM when you've decided you want to make that urgent merch purchase for your new favorite band is a hassle. No conveniently located ATMs in the area.

Fantastic venue. Intimate and amazing

Small intimate venue . Great place to see your favorite up and coming artist .

Small, historic show venue. Pee where your rock heroes peed.

Small venue but one of my favorites. If you're thirsty, get ready to pay $3 + tip for a glass of tap water -___-
