In addition to being conveniently downtown near Staples Center & The Grammy Museum - this venue is HUGE! Multiple floors, beautiful VIP areas, & the stage/sound is impeccable. We love it here!

PCL Construction

The project called for a floating concrete flooring system. While the original design specified a Styrofoam and isolator assembly, PCL was challenged to use this method on very tight schedule. Read more

S Lee

If you attend a show here, best seats are VIP balcony 2, row AA , anywhere between seats 207-214. Center, unobstructed view of stage.

Where Los Angeles Magazine

Intimately sized at 2,300-person capacity, with similar pop-radio players you’d see at Staples. Three bars and a sleek lounge create inviting environments to cool your heels between sets. Read more

Janet Sim

Didn't expect such a nice place for a concert ! Not a huge place but it's beautiful. A lounge area , two bars , neat lights, nice ambience.

Gene Vash

The 4th floor VIP Lounge complete changed my view of this venue. Had an amazing time. Comfy couches and waitress . The show from the main room is playing on big HD TVs .

Efrosini-Maria Fergadis

An amazing concert and great place with family and friends

The Do LaB

We are hosting a show here on August 19th featuring The Glitch Mob & RJD2. Tips: Arrive early to secure your spot on the ground level. Also save $ money on parking by finding street parking near by.

David Heiser

Try to stand at the railing right behind the pit. Good view , less likely to be smushed.

Akinbode Oguntuyi

Stumbled into a lively street party. Right in front of Staples Center . Lovely Friday evening experience.

Jacqueline L.

Overly-zealous LA Live security. Huge line for metal detectors, TSA-style bins & thorough purse/man-purse/keychain inspection. Inside, girl in front of me got kicked out for taking crappy phone pics.

Rebecca Balnis

Archeologists will one day refer to the Novo as the place Heilung once played.

Ben Harper

Harper’s eclectic sound of reggae , blues , and rock complemented the sounds of Ziggy Marley as they shared the staged in Dec 2011 at Club Nokia . Order Harper’s new album By My Side here: Read more

Calysta

Saw The Dirty Work Tour here today!! Great venue to see your favorite artists !!! WARNING: Watch out for the assholes (if you're in the pit) who like mosh and elbow you in the ribs .

Francine

Got free tickets to see B.O.B and Kevin Gates. Was my very first rap concert . Wasn't a packed house but it was pretty chill .

ᴡ Miller

Make sure to come check out the Expendables on 10/9 here at Club Nokia . Here is a link to their hit song Ganja Smuggling via #soundcloud!! Read more

Gilt City

Matisyahu 's latest smash album, “Live at Stubbs, Vol. II,” dropped in February, and he’s going on tour this summer. Gilt City members can buy tickets before they go on sale to the general public.

Zigabid Zig A Bid

It's like a scaled down version of the Wiltern in here. Lineup early if you want to get pit access. Otherwise, find a nice spot by the sound booth for the best sound.

Connie Chiu

Spacious dance floor with upper balcony seating . Sound system can be better.

L T

Great Venue for a concert but try not to buy standing room tickets. Balcony seats are good too if you sit in the first half.

Worked behind the scenes with a tour . Staff was top notch

Victoria

It's a small venue . Balcony , VIP pit area and then a regular general admission pit. Weird they have "two pits."

Iman F.

Came to see The Presets and the venue was great, but I had no idea GA didn't give you access to the pit. Lame! During the show people ended up jumping over the barrier anyway.

Hillary Noelle

I saw MatisYahu here. I don't like that you need a special ticket to get close to the stage, and anything behind that (general admission) is a terrible view . Pillars everywhere.

Stacy Small

Have dinner before the show around the corner at Flemings. Great food, friendly service , nice ambience. Ask for Ian to wait on you

Karen I

Go early if it's General Admission. They close the lower level once it's full!

Jazzy L

Get the VIP tickets, the seating is awesome and soooo worth it. Plus you don't have to wait in the long line !

Stephanie Guerrieri

Magnolia restaurant , which is located just around the corner has a awesome happy hour (Happy Hour Mon-Fri: 4pm til 7pm) if you're there on a week day Read more

Nathan Ray

For most shows, you need a wristband to get in the pit. Sometimes you have to go to the pit bouncer farthest from the club entrance to get one, and that's only if they aren't all gone already.

Tosha Rae

Concerts , live music , cocktails

Efrosini-Maria Fergadis

Great place and cool to hear music

Decibel Magazine

On 02/08/2011 the Decibel Sponsored Creatures from the Black Abyss Tour stops here! Featuring Cradle of Filth, Nachtmystium, Turisas and Daniel Lioneye

Invalid Input

This venue always has great artists . There's a bar inside. Floor and balcony seatings . The biggest, coolest artists perform at Club Nokia !

Vanity Fair Agenda

COLDPLAY, live. The show, scheduled for Wednesday, February 8 at 9:00 p.m., is a special iHeartRadio Benefit Concert .

nikki

bartenders are slow and absolute assholes! demanded a tip for taking 20 minutes to open a $12 bottle of beer , then claimed she wasn't going to serve me if i came back for another. entitled. ????

Michelle Reynoso

Avoid row BB on the VIP level. Lots of legroom BUT hard to see over Row AA

Ryan Pohanic

Wack place to see a show. Go catch a game at Staples instead. #dickcheesesandwich

Chip Munk

Annual christmas party.!Adriana's insurance

Zoey Hailey

If your here, you love making music , try networking with these guys: http://bit.ly/p5XW71

Jacqueline L.

$5 for a bottle of water?? What is this Coachella?

Whiskquito Burrito

nice, new venue, good acoustics . nice atmosphere and bar

Steven Himmel

Had an amazing time being a part of this show!

Dominique Gibson

Saw TREY SONGZ @ this place & it was amazing! Little Unorganized but still fun.

Priscilla K. Deason

Use the elevator instead of the escalator.

Jonny Arguello

Took forever just to get inside. Zig-zagging line including a metal detector -- are you serial?

Ethan Shvartzman

One of the worst places in LA for a show. You have a choice get here early and overpay for drinks or get here later and sit in xrappy seats upstairs... Or just avoid this "venue"
