When you walk in they have these mirrors on each side that you can take pics in or look at your outfit! They have seating at the bar and lounge area. I love the flower decor that's in the ceiling!! It gives the place a nice modern luxury touch. It's not too big but perfect for a party of 30-40 persons. They have parking in the lot right by Outback! It's easy to find and very nice to celebrate. You can also have food catered or taco truck outside venue. I will come back her for another event or maybe in the future consider renting out for myself. -Marshay D.

It's so great having other bar options instead of driving to Los Angeles to drink nowadays. This is…read moresuch an amazing spot for girls night out and for people who just want to sit by the bar to order drinks all night. Ambiance is super warm, the service and bartenders are amazing as well. I can honestly say this is one of the best bars in the 626.. Aesthetically pleasing and the drinks are actually made well. They don't use that shitty sweet and sour mix, a lot of syrups are made in house, they have a nice selection of spirits and the overall speakeasy vibes are immaculate. If I could come here every weekend I would! It's a nice spot to bring your girl after dinner or if you're on a date.

A year later we came back for my daughter 1st birthday and now we are planning our third event and we can't wait! The Venus is spacious for the normal 80 people we host. The availability for the use of the kitchen is excellent so we don't have to worry about transporting hot food and can heat up everything there and the bathrooms are so clean and stocked. We've also recommended the space we're family friends have utilized it for bridal showers, birthdays and baby showers! Loved that the parking lot was small safe enough to have a jumper for the kids as long as we powered it with a generator

We had a cuties themed baby shower with 130 people, and hired multiple vendors (Vietnamese food, boba tea bar, desserts, a bartender, and balloon artists). It was an amazing and fun experience for all of our friends and family members. Would definitely want to go here again for other events in the future, such as birthday parties, weddings, graduations, etc.

The Cabin in Monrovia Canyon Park is the perfect place for a small, intimate event. My cousin got…read moremarried here last weekend, and it was beautiful. There is a grassy area behind the cabin and next to a small creek where they had the ceremony. The cabin itself can only accommodate about forty guests. It has a balcony, fireplace, a single stall bathroom, and a kitchenette. There was also a group of deer roaming around that were not shy around people. The only downside is that because this is in a city park, smoking and alcohol are not allowed.

Throughout our 10am-6pm agenda, it was mentioned how refreshing it was to be in a space where the windows were left open and the canyon breeze filled the room, where a stretch break took place in the woods, and there was even had a mission aligned scavenger hunt! We brought our own AV. (easy set up) and breakfast and lunch was delivered from Panera, (Yes! They deliver into the canyon). The park also offers a discount for small non-profit institutions. This is definitely an affordable option if you are local, and want a motivating offsite with your key players!!!

I was actually surprised at the size of the crowd Monday, very well attended. For those new to Santa Anita go to the Frontrunner for a restaurant experience overlooking the stretch run. Serious horse players go to the "Room" - it's next to the Chandelier room. Used to be called the Sports Book but now it's just unnamed. The clubhouse side has outdoors table seating just past the finish line. Plenty of bars and food venues throughout for those so like to walk around and visit the paddock and walking ring. Check it out!

That made it fun because we could be together, watch the races on the TV screens in the box and even order food and have it delivered to the box. The food was okay, nothing super special. My husband ordered a cheeseburger and said it was dry, overcooked and not much dressing. I had a buffalo chicken wrap, it okay, and my daughter got the children's meal chicken tenders - which was a very generous portion. Best of all was the french fries - they were delicious. Prices were high of course. One example is one pitcher of water was $7!! That's plain old tap water and we couldn't get any refills either. Crazy! We also enjoyed walking around the grounds and looking at the horses. They had some beautiful Clydesdales you could pet. There are a few retired race horses you could see and take pictures of / in front of but they bite so you couldn't get too close. The grounds also have lovely flowers all around, beautiful horse statues and a lovely fountain so it is very picturesque.

It seems old and dated, but with a bit of love and cosmetics (like how his planners designed the whole place) then it's a whole different place! Plenty of room for apps, main course and the bar was strategically placed in the back. There's also a big dance floor. Venue can easily fit 200 - 250 people comfortably. Free lot parking at the back (it's a little tricky to find but not too bad - slow down when you get on Morlan Place, should be easy from there!) They should signs or something, because a lot of people missed it. Other than the parking snag, we had a great time at this place! If it were close to home, I'd consider using it as well!

I will definitely be booking at this hall in the future!

This review is way overdue. Life got ahead of me. I'm sorry, Emil and Lisa!…read more I had my daughter's quinceañera at El Palacio Hall on March 14, 2026. We hosted 175 guests. When we first started looking for venues, we had a few specific things in mind, and flexibility was one of them. On our first visit in March 2025, we met with Emil, the venue owner. He was very welcoming, friendly, family-oriented, and easy to work with. He answered all of my questions and was very transparent from day one. He never pressured us or made us feel obligated to choose everything the hall offered. All selections and packages were based on our budget and what we wanted to spend. When I walked into the venue, I was immediately attracted to the décor, high ceilings, and bar area. Everything was very clean, the white draping made the space feel even more open, and the floor plan was perfect. I knew I wouldn't have to do much. I did hire an outside vendor to help with the themed décor, but almost everything else, including the plating, was purchased through the venue. As the quinceañera date approached, we met the venue manager, Lisa. She became our go-to person for anything we needed. She was very attentive and made sure the event was a success and that everything looked beautiful on the big day. The day of the event, everything went very smoothly. We had a venue host who worked hand in hand with Lisa. I forgot his name, but he was very kind and helpful. I had many family members say, "This place is beautiful! I never knew this was here." No one had any issues with parking. The restrooms were well maintained throughout the event, the food was ready on time (we had the fajitas, beans, and rice which was very tasty), the serving staff was very efficient, and the air conditioning was blasting and felt great (the temperature that day was around 78-80 degrees). Every area of the venue was operating seamlessly. All-in-all I am very grateful to all the staff at El Palacio Hall because they helped make my daughter's quinceañera a success. I would definitely have another event there again.
