Went here for a themed night - Flashback 2010 EDM. It was honestly so fun and tickets were free if you rsvp. I haven't been to a club in years but this was a very good time. The crowd was fun, easy going in, good security measures- they check your purse and pat you down. I would recommend because it has a variety of people going 21+.

WOW! I haven't been to Avalon since my late teens, early twenties. Came out to support DJ Morgan Page and the event went well. Inside, the venue is spacious and there are two bars located on each dance floor/stage. Drinks are on the price side here, so it is always best to pre-game if you can. My old fashioned with rye was $19 in a small cup. Lots of people came out to support and enjoy awesome EDM music. Great sound system at the main stage and loud music overall with great vibes! The lights and graphics were awesome as well. This place even offers after parties, so you can party all night long until the sun rises. Restrooms are clean and tidy and have plenty of space. Parking lot next to the venue makes it convenient or street parking as well.

Super solid venue, especially for an EDM event. I really love the third floor where we can freely lounge and sit on the cushioned seats!!! Had a great time dancing and enjoying the music. The speakers system was great from all levels. The view of the stage is also very great and if you're up close to the very front, just know that the stage is up high so you can't clearly see without looking up. The sweet spot is definitely being in the front middle of the crowd. Had such a blast!!! Bathrooms are clean throughout the night.

Last night at Avalon Hollywood was something I'll never forget.This wasn't just a night out--it was a celebration of life for Reza Gerami, our DJ Reza. Special thanks to Pascual from Insomniac for putting together such a beautiful and unforgettable tribute. You could feel the love the moment you walked in. There were memorial wreaths everywhere, life-size cutouts of Reza, and so many thoughtful details that made the night feel personal. They had specialty cotton candy and cookies printed with Reza's photo and Go Venture logos, plus Go Venture hats where you could even airbrush your name on them. It was creative, heartfelt, and so him. The night was filled with incredible moments--hors d'oeuvres, a dove release, free Persian food all night, and an open bar. But more than anything, it was the people. Over a thousand friends and family, all connected through the old-school underground rave scene, coming together in unity. It was powerful. Reza was always about peace, love, and bringing people together--and that's exactly what this night represented. A true promoter in every sense of the word. He created something real in this world, and the underground will always recognize that.It was emotional in a way that's hard to put into words. I don't know how I'm going to move through life without my best friend. He always looked out for me, always protected me, and he changed my life in every possible way. Reza, I love you so much. You would have loved this night. And I'll carry you with me--in every part of who I am--forever.Always in our hearts.

What an absolute gem!!! I can't believe I haven't been here before but I am so glad I was able to visit! The decor is just gorgeous, it very much give a Gatsby vibe. The club is 2 floors and contrary to most clubs in LA the 2nd floor is open to all, not just VIP. There is a large amount of comfortable seating in the upper level and it was a great place to rest mid show! The show I was at was big on lasers and I will say no matter where you were those were a bit blinding, not sure if that is how the venue setup is or if that was how the performers had it set. Regardless this was a great place and I can't wait to be back

As far as clubs go in Los Angeles and Hollywood area this one is not too bad. Now I will say I have only been to this club for Emo Nite which is a monthly event that is held at Avalon that plays Emo music and Emo remixes. I've probably been to about 5 Emo nites but some people try to go monthly as it is a fun event and brings all the Emo together. As far as the club the security is pretty typical. You make line on the side. The earlier you show up the shorter the line will be and less of a wait to get in there will be. They check your ID as it's 21 plus and you go through a metal detector. As long as there is no problems it's a pretty simple process. Once you walk in past the doors there is a bar outside the main club space and if you walk more inside you are inside the actual main club and there is a long bar right on the sides also. Most of the downstairs back area is tables and you won't be able to access those unless you have bottle service. The main dance floor is a decent size but does fill up pretty fast. For Emo Nite events they do typically sell out and once the show starts it can get pretty hot and crammed. Some people don't mind but if you are with people who maybe want a little more space and breathing room I would recommend to head up stair. For Emo Nite they open up the Bardot room and usually have a few bands and other artist performing and have another Dj up there. There are also multiple bars up there too so if it seems to be a long wait downstairs upstairs may be your next best option. If you want to see the main stage from upstairs there are also stadium type seats that are padded upstairs and they are all general admission. There are some tables in the very front but I have not seen them used very often and for the most part you can get lucky and stand right there in the front so it's a perfect spot to see all the action on the main stage but have space to yourself. Overall I don't mind this venue for Emo Nite. I have not been here for other events and I do see they have big name artist come but as mentioned it does get really packed downstairs for Emo Nite so I can just imagine how packed it gets when they have a big DJ perform here.

Great Hollywood venue - another fun spot for Insomniac events. Recently went here for a Techno show for the first time and really enjoyed the simple set up of stage and main floor. PROS - solid sound system - quality and fun Insomniac events (in addition to DJ events, there's a ton of themed events like Reggaeton, K-Pop, etc) - really cool architecture - well ventilated - safe area in Hollywood CONS - main floor only (gets crowded and may be hard to see if you're not tall) - busy bars - Hollywood crowd can get rowdy (common for any tourist areas) - far parking (1-2 blocks walking distance but starts at $10) Nightlife in Hollywood can be tricky, but places like Avalon, make it fun and safe, will definitely be coming back and highly recommend.

In town for the night and we wanted to party. We decided on this place and took an Uber here just to be told at the door that they were closed to outsiders for a private event. We were kinda bummed. That's something you should advertise.It was raining too. The bouncer was nice enough to let us stand by the heater until our Uber arrived.

Everything was fine. Bartender is awesome. We sat at a booth for 2 hrs, paid our bill, then walked to Boardners at 1am. I quickly realized I had no wallet and must've left it at Power House - so walked my way back at around 1:20am. The Door Man, who had previously been a completely chill and nice dude, began screaming at a man behind me to "get the F--- out of here." I turn and see it was a very drunk patron who I recognized had been in the bar earlier. He then turned to me and screamed in my face to also "get the f--- out of here." I came to find out that patron had been kicked out and possibly had altercation with the Door Man Eric. So clearly the Door Man thought I was connected somehow to that random drunk patron. I tried to calmly explain that I did not know that patron and I was only returning because I left my ID/ credit card slim wallet somewhere in the bar. He proceeded to keep shouting that I was lying because they don't hold credit cards there, even though I was saying my entire wallet was somewhere physically in the bar. He then proceeded to say I was too drunk to come in and that I had "bad vibes" and that I was a weirdo and to get the f-- out of here. I continued to try to calmly reason with him, and he suddenly lunged at me as if to attack me - this man has a foot height on me - and I had to jump back off the curb into the street to evade him. I don't like to speculate but I suspect drug use was a factor here. At this point, I pull out my phone and continue to try reasoning - at a distance - but nothing is getting thru - so I go back to Boardners, tell my wife what happened and tell her I need her to try to go in and get my wallet. I followed far enough behind where they he wouldn't see me, but she was in there for a good five minutes, so I got worried. I called her, and then I hear this doorman shouting at my wife. I RUN to the open door where I see him towering over her in aggressive hostility, and I see my WALLET in her hand. We walk away. My wife tells me that they found the wallet where I knew I had left it. When it clicked that this lost wallet must have belonged to me, aka "the weirdo", he told her she was "86'd" there and then called her a "weirdo". When my wife told Eric that she "doesn't come here anyways", he became enraged and grabbed her with both of his arms as if to drag her out. He must've thought better of it and took his arms off when my wife stood called it out, and luckily the bartender was helpful enough to gave up the Door Man's name (hopefully that was an honest answer). I challenge the managers of this bar to review the video footage if there is any that took place outside of the doorway and inside the bar between 1am and 1:45. And to retain that footage.

I ordered the American breakfast, which was filling, flavorful, and a great value. The tiki flight was also a highlight and such a fun way to explore the different drinks and discover what you like.

The celebrity wax figures placed around the rooftop add a playful, uniquely Hollywood touch and make for some fun photo opportunities. Great food, creative drinks, generous portions, and a memorable setting. I would definitely recommend stopping by for brunch or drinks while exploring Hollywood.

After a while, our feet were ready for a break, and we were looking for somewhere to grab some food and, hopefully, a beer or two. A quick Yelp search turned up The Hollywood Rooftop Restaurant & Bar, just steps away from where we were standing. Part of our group decided to head off for burgers at In-n-Out burger down the street, while the rest of us decided to give the rooftop a try. I'm glad we did! First, finding this place is practically an adventure in itself! For a restaurant in such a prime tourist location, it's amazing how little signage there is. There are apparently two ways up: a staircase from the street or an elevator inside Madame Tussauds Wax Museum. We took the elevator route, navigating through the crowds visiting the museum. Despite all the people, I couldn't find any obvious signs directing visitors to the rooftop restaurant. You'd think they'd want to make it easier for people to find! Once we finally arrived, we were surprised to discover a beautiful rooftop space that appeared capable of seating around 100 people, yet there were only TWO other customers! Considering the crowds on Hollywood Boulevard below, it felt like we'd discovered a secret hideaway. The weather was perfect for rooftop dining, warm but not uncomfortably hot. The restaurant has plenty of comfortable seating, including shaded areas, and a relaxed, open-air atmosphere. There's also complimentary self-serve water, which was especially welcome after walking around Hollywood. The ordering process is casual and straightforward. You line up at the counter, order your food and drinks, take a number, and the staff brings everything to your table. The food was surprisingly good, and so were the drinks! Everything we ordered was enjoyable, and we had a great time relaxing above the hustle and bustle of Hollywood Boulevard. The prices are definitely geared toward tourists, but that's hardly surprising given the location. We felt the experience was worth it. One particularly fun feature is the collection of celebrity wax figures scattered around the rooftop. I remember seeing James Dean, Marilyn Monroe, and Scarlett Johansson, among others. It's a nice touch that adds a little Hollywood character to the experience, and you can get some fun photos without fighting the crowds downstairs. Overall, this was a really enjoyable discovery. Great rooftop atmosphere, good food, refreshing drinks, comfortable seating, and an unexpectedly peaceful escape from the crowds below. My only real suggestion would be to improve the signage! I suspect a lot more people would visit if they actually knew how to find the place. If you're exploring Hollywood Boulevard and need somewhere to rest your feet, grab a bite, or enjoy a cold beer or Aperol spritz, I highly recommend making your way up here. Even if you're not hungry, it's absolutely worth stopping in for a drink or two. Four stars for a fun, unexpected Hollywood rooftop experience!

This review will be unique as it will review No Vacancy when it hosted Uno Social Club…read more I am not a super fan of Uno, but it is something to do, something to get me out of the house, and when I have played Uno I have had a good time. One time I got so excited I banged the table and the glass dropped. It happens when one is seeking a reverse card to save their life! The place is suppose to be a play on a hotel I guess, but to me it also kind of looked like a haunted house. A bit. Do not imagine cobwebs, ghosts, and Jason props. It was more haunted in color and shape. Like a haunted house that was formerly excorcised of the devil and all his minions and no was in its fixer-upper phase. I guess one might have to look at the pictures to understand where my thoughts went. When I entered the energy was building. But it was such a slow simmer that I felt like Uno would not pop with revelvery. I went exploring after first entering garden, into their main foyare. I saw an upstairs. I was not allowed to go up. Apparently, there was a VIP section. Oh what is up there, I asked one of the staff members and he did not respond. I asked a patron that was walking down the stiars? What is up there? She seemed like she did not want to answer. I said an elephant? She said, heat, it's hot up there. So now I am left to wonder what was up those stairs at No Vancy and kind of irked that I am left to wonder what the flight of stairs held at its end. I was backed in the garden, thinking of what would happen next? I saw a brave soul ask if he could join two to play a game. I did the same and soon I was in a card game with two other people. What was great, is that they had the house rules posted, which were apparently the official Mattel rules. And like for example, I always played Uno in the following way: if you did not have a certain color you ate from the pile till you got a color or another card you can play like the Wild card? But here you only ate one, and if it could be played you could, and if you could not then it was the next player turn. I realized that I kind of wrote an instuction manual. I kind of wanted to delete it, but then I remember when a plate is salted it cannot be unsalted. I played a player who was into the game. I know that people are like why are you so into the game? But when two people are into an ordinary Uno game it stops being ordinary. It does not become a clash of fabled warriors inside an arena with lions and leopards. But it does become competititve in a fun way, where no one tells another to chill just because they want verification of a play that might turn the game on its head. What I thought the Uno Social people did very well was engage us all. They sat down a guy next to us. He became the fourth of our Uno game. Inspired by the staff member I asked someone else to sit and we became 5. We played a few games and had a good time. One of the staff members gave a winner of a round a Love Island expansion pack. Who knew? Saul and I then peeled of that group and went to get some drinks. The drinks at this place were smooth and strong. I got an Uno themed one. I could finish it in one gulp if I wanted too, but I did not, I was not in a race. By this time the place was, in my opinion, too packed by Uno players. It was the kind of packed that if you wanted to stand up you were afraid too because then you would lose your spot and then you would be amidst the crowd trying to find another spot that anchors you to place. The crowded bar made one feel like they were a sardine in a party. And no one likes to be a sardine anywhere. Having no elbow room is a type of torture, not water for sure, but still anxiety inducing. Another Yelper described this place as a human zoo, perhaps I should have left it there too? This place is close, like steps from Hollywood Blvd. So I can see how it can be part of a bigger night. Stop by and if one does not feel the vibe one can bounce to another spot. There are plenty around the areas. But if one gets to here when they host an Uno club that is definetelty the move!

After hanging out for a little while, waiting for the band to start, I went back and got another round of drinks. This time I asked the bartender what she could with gin, and be light and citrusy. She made a lime mint spritz that was sweet and refreshing. Once the music started, we were able to enjoy being outside on the patio and see our favorite band playing 10 feet from us. The small sound system did the job to fill the space. After the show finished, the bar opened up to the public and it got really packed. It was quite a privilege to be able to be invited to see a show here with a small crowd.

I decided to try this place because it was on the list of restaurants doing DineLa this year. We…read moreended up ordering the DineLa 3-course meal and also extra dishes to try. Even though this restaurant is a bar restaurant located in the Loews Hotel, the dishes are a lot more elevated and high-quality than I expected when compared to bar food. Food was actually very good. I didn't realize that food was Asian-Mexican fusion, but I have to say the mixture of flavors worked very well together. We ordered spicy tuna nigiri tacos, birria gyozas, skirt steak with Viet chimichurri sauce, ceviche, short-rib tacos, scallops with spicy hominy, and chai brownie for dessert. Every dish had great flavors and were seasoned very well. Steak was cooked perfectly and seafood quality tasted fresh. Hibiscus cocktail was also very tasty and refreshing. My only callouts were the chips for the ceviche were stale and the brownie was quite dry. Service was great. Our waitress was very friendly and attentive, checking on us constantly. Food pace was also well-timed and came out accordingly. The reason why I give this place a 4-star is because of the ambience. This bar restaurant is attached to the lobby and it can get very loud and rowdy with hotel guests sitting around. It would be better if the restaurant was separate from the lobby area to provide a more personal and less noisy dining experience. Also, the design could use some updating as it felt like eating in a restaurant located in a low-end casino. Ambience doesn't match the quality of the food. Nonetheless, I would still come dine here if I'm in the area.

For a hotel bar I have to say I was impressed with both the food and the service. We sat at the bar…read moreand were attended to by multiple servers. We ordered chicken wings and egg rolls from the happy hour menu and were surprised to see how big the portion sizes were. We also ordered the quesadilla with cheese from the regular menu it had generous amount of fillings. Overall I was happy to have dined here and would recommend it to anyone staying at the hotel or close by.
