El Rey Theatre

A classic LA venue. Leave your gum behind, be nice to the security guards , and don't forget to look up at the ceiling in between bands. Almost every view 's a good one here.

Charming theater with some fairly strong drinks . Price was fair ! I like how the sides of the room are slightly raised for us shorter people. ???? Saw Mike Stud perform here and loved it!

It has had its fair share of top-tier and soon-to-be-huge artists at its stage, from Bob Dylan and the Pixies to Lana Del Rey. The ornate decorations and VIP lounge add a touch of class to its shows. Read more

Smallish venue. If you don't want to get super close to the stage, post up behind the barrier around the room for a pretty unobstructed view of the stage.

The art deco theatre is a stunner, from its nostalgic neon signage to the grand ballroom . It has a knack for booking artists on the cusp of stardom, giving fans an intimate show-going experience. Read more

This is one of my favorite venues in LA. Not too small, but not big at all. Chairs available if you get there early. Stand near the sound booth .

Great venue for intimate concert with your fave band; can grab Mexican food from El Cartel and drinks from bar

Great lighting, fantastic chandeliers , and good sightlines makes this my favorite LA venue.

El Rey Theatre actually served as a single-screen movie theatre for 50 years following it's opening in 1936.

I love the vibe of this theatre ! This has to be my favorite music venue in LA — the sound is always clear and I never have a problem getting close to the stage to checkout the band that is performing .

Grab a spot on the little stairs near the stage for a great view .

El Rey is one of LA’s best mid-size venues. Jollett of the Airborne Toxic Event says he’s never seen a bad show here. More importantly, “it’s one of the few places in LA that actually has class .”

Nice small venue , bar behind the entrance is usually less crowded . Parking structure nearby is probably your best bet, if you're driving.

One of the best small concert venues in Los Angeles. Come to see some great acts before they make it big

Mid-sized concert venue that has the best of the new music coming through. Get tickets when you can. Don’t worry who is playing, it will be great. -Mark Peel, Top Chef

Classic venue that is transformed into a mosh pit hall & a church on Sunday

One of the best live venues in LA. If you can get a spot in front or behind the soundboard, it'll sound even better.

like putting lipstick on a pig . it still looks like a tacky banquet hall! that step around the dance floor is an absolute hazard. not bad for sit-down comedy , though.

During our June 2013 feature interview with EDM act Disclosure, member Howard Lawrence, noted that their Halloween show at El Rey Theatre was one of their favorite shows of 2012!

One of the best venues in LA. Great sound. Clean . Good vibes.

Intimate concert venue . Love the 1920s vibe. Small but set up well .

First, this venue is beautiful. Get there early enough and street parking is easy to find. There's also a pay lot that isn't very expensive . It isn't difficult to find a great view here

These guys hve never been beat in their attention to accessible needs. I've never had a negative experience and never a bad word! Keep up the awesome job and thanks for making our night special!

The sound here is outrageous. The chandeliers add a touch of elegance as well to this perfectly sized venue

Very classy venue . Try to get to shows there early to find a comfortable spot to watch.

We put on events here from time to time... Basically really fun dance parties . It's a great venue. We'll see you at our next one hopefully.

One of the best live music venues in LA ! Stand on the steps to the right of the stage. Best view !

Great place to see a concert - head upstairs if you need a breather.

Avoid paying those dreaded Ticketmaster fees! If it's not an instant sell-out show, buy your tickets at Origami Vinyl ($2 per ticket fee, cash only ) or direct from the El Rey website ($5/ticket.)

Great concert venue , intimate with just enough space

Saw Landon Pigg and Little Boots at this venue and I have to say, LOVE! Very old Hollywood inside, chic , small with a very VIP feel ;) I DEF recommend! Read more

i've been here quite a few times to see La Roux, Little Boots , and Caribou play and it has never disappointed. Very great venue!

completely awesome. saw los campersinos here. perfect dance floor space, vintage chandelier/red velvet decor, great acoustics .

Get your drinks upstairs, they are always a better pour up there :)

Perfect size for good music

Really great venue. Saw !!! (Chk chk chk) which were an awesome and energetic band

Great venue and vibe. Came to see Army Of The Pharoahs.

There are plenty of parking options around the venue, including street parking if you’re lucky. Or, valet your car right in front for just $10.

I love this venue. perfect view from top of the stairs no matter who is taller than you. stake out a spot.

My favorite music venue in Los Angeles. Great sound, clean and intimate . Leave your gum at home (or in your car).

Great place to see bands.

One of the best theatre if you're disabled. They treat you with respect, and go out their way to make them comfortable . Great intimate theatre .

John Legend scene filmed here for La La Land

Amazing staff

Don't park in a side street that goes North/South--they all require a special parking pass. Tickets are over $50.

Phenomenal venue. Joe Moses is a genius.

Bar and music , small venue . Cheap night on the town .
