A fun venue with some great performers . Sometimes the bar makes custom drinks and names them after the performers - I loved the "Matt and Kim".

Donna Balancia

The Fonda Theatre is a great place to see a show. This venue recently was selected by the Rolling Stones for an intimate opener to the Zip Code Tour . If there's an opportunity to go, do it! Read more

One of my favorite venue. Rooftop patio for fresh air and you can drink and smoke. Bar available upstairs. Overlooking Hollywood Blvd.

Manda Currell

Lovely venue. Two tips: Stop at Blue Palms beforehand. Buy your tickets from Amoeba if possible so you don't need to pay the extortionate AXS fees

nikki

since the reno, this has become my favorite venue in LA . perfect size, amazing decor, and those blue curtains! i never mind waiting for the next set. :)

No matter where you stand still a great view . You can watch the live show upstairs as well .

Kenne Warren

The sound system is incredible, making the balcony the most magical spot for music in LA. Order the Kobe Brew Burger & Sweet Potato Fries from the adjoining Blue Palms Brewhouse.

Come early to your Fonda Show. They have 25 micro brews at the connected restaurant plus food and the door is open between both locales. Fonda only has two brews on draft and no food...

Paul Andrew Dunker

Get GA balcony tickets and get there when doors open. You can thank me when you get comfy seats , center on the stage, and there's no line at the bar .

Jason C

Awesome sound, friendly and fast bartenders , and solid sight lines . Rooftop patio is fantastic.

Chelsea

Views are best from the elevated platforms on the side. Don't forget to go up to the roof for a cigarette and excellent view of Hollywood.

Jennifer

Good sightlines from the entire downstairs. Go to the lobby bar for faster service, generally. Avert your eyes from the oddly ornate lamp installation and the odd murals .

Craig Villamor

Not a great place to be short . The stage I needs to be about a foot taller. Stand on the sides where the raised platforms are if you want to be able to see anything.

Geoffrey Franklin

Bar on the second floor has the show on projection. It’s usually a faster bar and there’s lots of seating.

Jeff S

Go up stairs for a great view of hollywood and of the W hotel . Music is different then the main room usually, but its nice and has places to sit.

@irabrianmiller

Looking for a bit of fresh air ? Go up to the rooftop for a drink or a cigarette during the show, you can still watch what’s happening projected onto the wall!

Victoria

One of my favorite venues! Balcony is relaxing but I always prefer the pit :)

Greg Philippi

You can usually find free parking up the street and around the corner just down from Hollywood Presbyterian. Check posted signs as they vary per half block in that area.

Connie Chiu

Always but floor tickets cause you can bounce between balcony and floor, but if you have balcony , can't go to floor section.

Deb Lawler

Great venue!

Music Alerts Now

Beautiful interior !! Don't forget to check out the upstairs roof area! The audio is unbelievable. Park in the neighborhood behind, or pay $20, your choice!

Christian B.

Take the metal stairs up from the rooftop patio , and go inside the small room to watch the show from a tiny balcony with it's own private bathroom !

Bo Liebman

Great venue in Hollywood. Check out the roof bar if it's open

Jen Jaco

Balcony seating has great aerial view - floor is fantastic too (lots of railing to lean against next to the side wall booth seating ). Read more

John Kidde

Awesome venue, beautiful inside, close to the Red Line

Kenne Warren

The balcony at the Music Box is the most magical spot in LA. The sound is heavenly if the mix is done right.

Amy Gypsy De May

Great venue great sound system and we're VIP's. WooHoo!

Lindsay Gabler

My favorite venue! No bad views of the stage - intimate setting that adds to the energy of any show you attend.

Gilt City

Manchester Orchestra's 3rd studio album boasts lush, almost operatic instrumentation. Sleeper Agent’s playful performance delighted audiences at this year’s SXSW. Don't miss both artists here, June 2.

Vance Harper

Intimate music venue with rocking good lineup. Great fun!

Bravo

Small spot that attracts really good bands. There isn't a bad seat in the place. -Danielle Keene, Top Chef Just Desserts

crazy house

The amazing Temper Trap with New stuff: awesome!

Jonny Young

the rooftop bar is cool but the floor is where you want to be

Alicia H

Have a couple shots at your car when you get there beforehand because a simple vodka & cran was $10. My favorite venue yet!

Ben Harper

Ben Harper and The Innocent Criminals performed at the historic Fonda Theatre in 2005. You can order Ben’s new album By My Side here: Read more

I can't stress enough how immoral and horrible this theater is. For $100, I was put, standing, in what an usher confirmed is usually a fire exit except tonight. They knew they were cheating people.

Rj St Thomas

Saw Craig David! Couldn't be happier!

Stephanie Carlson

Be sure to keep your feet planted on the ground during heavy-bass shows. The sound system is one of the best I've heard.

Mat Collis

Cool backstage and all round cool venue

Lauren :D

Good size. Good sound.

pinguino kolb

A double vodka on the rocks costs the same as 2 red bull vodkas

David Falcon

My favorite place to see a band in Hollywood! Definetly one of the more classy venues in H-Wood!

McCarthy

Impress your date by finding Hieronymous Bosch on the wall, stage right.

Natalie Guerra

Old venue, but intimate setting for shows.

Darryl Magnuson

Great place to see bands, especially on the floor. Agree w/ others, the drinks are expensive and you should park down the street.

Janjuary L.

if the music is too loud for your ears, hang out in the balcony . the view is just as good. very little "old people" here so its even better

Anthony Green

Make sure you catch Anthony Green play here on 12/15!

Josh Ritter
