    Friday night's show of Rainbow Kitten Surprise at the Echoplex reminded me why I love live music. The venue itself has that classic underground L.A. vibe--dark, intimate, and gritty in the best way. The sound filled the room perfectly, heavy on the bass but still clear enough to catch every lyric and detail from the stage. I just loved it so much! The energy was insane the moment the lights went down. Being that close to the artist felt almost unreal--there's no bad view in the place, and it really feels like you're part of the performance instead of just watching it. The crowd was hyped, responsive, and you could tell everyone was there for the music, not just the scene. I would definitely go back. Parking is very tricky. I lucked out and paid nothing at 9pm in a lot FREE after 9p up to 14 hrs

    Came here for Emo Night. The place is clean and the staff did an impeccable job at keeping the bathrooms sanitary. The drinks are strong and delicious. I would recommend looking at the themed specials. Acoustics in this place is pretty well done. You get sound throughout the building without aggravating your ears. Had a blast overall!

    I came here with the one, the only Dave Benitez last week on Andi's birthday to see Skating Polly. Much to my surprise after I had bought tickets, SP wasn't the headlining act. No, that would be Girl in a Coma. Bell Systems was the first act up. It's a nice, dungeony-feeling music space with plenty of room to spread out and enjoy your drinks or your conversation or the music from afar, if you so choose. It also feels like a deathtrap in a fire, but I chose not to continue to think of that when I had thought of that. The sound is very good for how much of an afterthought the stage looks like. I didn't order any drinks, but they have cool names to go along with their high prices. This was going to be a four-star review, but the physical location of Echoplex is confusing and ridiculous. It's tied to The Echo, with which it supposedly shares a building, but you can't get to Echoplex from The Echo or vice versa. Why is that important? Because while both parts of the building are at street level, they're on different streets. The Echo is on the top of the building, which is on Sunset Boulevard, but Echoplex is on Glendale Boulevard. But you can't just walk around the corner from one to the other. No, Glendale Boulevard passes under Sunset Boulevard, so in order to walk from the entrance of The Echo to Echoplex, you must walk west on Sunset, turn left on Park Avenue, then turn left, cross Glendale, and continue walking north until you reach Echoplex. It's literally a quarter-mile walk from the top floor of the building to the bottom floor, and because of the street layout, you're much more likely to be parked near The Echo than Echoplex. For you history buffs, it's really close to the Angelus Temple and Echo Park Lake. Bell Systems was OK. Skating Polly was awesome, although I wish they had played more than ten songs. We left before Girl in a Coma performed.

    Came out for the American Hi-Fi & Eve 6 show at the Echoplex, and overall had a solid experience. First off, getting there can be a little tricky if you're not familiar with the area, tucked under Sunset Blvd., the Echoplex entrance is down a discreet alley off Glendale Blvd., with minimal signage. If you're not paying attention, you might miss the turn entirely. Parking can also be a hassle, so rideshare or arriving early is your best bet. The good news? They've fixed their ventilation issue. The air-conditioning was pumping last night, and it made a big difference. It didn't feel stuffy or overheated like in the past, which is huge for a packed, high-energy show. I was front and center and had a great view of the stage. The sound quality was decent, crisp enough for a smaller venue, though not the cleanest mix I've ever heard. The middle of the floor can have slightly distorted sound as the speakers banks are on the side of the sage. If you're standing toward the back, I can see how sightlines might be slightly obstructed depending on the crowd, but it's manageable. Bar service was efficient with multiple drink lines but be prepared for typical LA venue prices. A 16 oz. can of Liquid Death water set me back $6. All in all, I'd definitely come back for another show. The vibe is gritty but real, and the energy in the room when the band's playing is hard to beat.

    I enjoy visiting this small venue. I've had a chance to watch a couple of my favorite bands, and it was a great time! The entrance is in the alley along Glendale Blvd. Parking is decent. There's metered parking on the nearby street and a lot just a block east of the venue (on Lemoyne St), with mobile app payment availability. If you're lucky, you may snag a spot for free (after a specific time) along Glendale Blvd and near Echo Park Lake. I usually park in the paid lot since it doesn't cost much and it's lit. Upon entering the venue, security and walk-through detectors only take a few seconds. They do check bags for content and size. Be sure to check the website for restrictions. The staff has been chill for the most part, as well. The bathrooms are clean, which is a big plus. Inside, the space is small but spacious when it isn't packed. It's been comfortable when I've been here. The stage is average height, but people in the back still get a decent view. The sound overall is good. There are a few muffled areas, but it is still enjoyable from anywhere. The inside ceiling support pillars block a little of the view but also have shelves to rest your drinks on. Some VIP seats are on the front side, and benches are along the back walls if you need to sit. There are also two bar areas to quench your thirst. Inflated drink prices are expected with venues like this, and all transactions are cashless, so be sure to bring your cards. If merch is available, it will be stationed along the back area. I am looking forward to more concerts here!

    Came here to see Clipping. The venue was great and I don't have any complaints except having to walk around the building to enter, but you can exit through the other part of the venue? Didn't really make sense to me, but whatever.

    BEWARE of this bartender with glasses. Worst experience EVER as a customer ordering a drink. I was waiting to get a drink in the side of the bar,the bartender saw me,came to me and started to almost yell at me,saying that that's not a place to order a drink(there's not a sign in place that says that) and that there's actually a line of people waiting to get a drink (there was not) and that's she's doing me a favor getting me a drink.I said I was sorry,I didn't know,and she proceeded to just get my drink and charge me being really mad,she snatched my card from my hand and didn't show me the machine to see the price and the tip.I did not get the chance to tip which I would have not tipped since that was an awful service and then she made me cry.Basically ruined my whole night. Later,my husband went to get another drink for him,never told her anything about me,and he also had an awful experience with her,she literally snatched his drink from him and didn't want to give it to him.Pretty ridiculous! I don't know what kind of venue this is that their staff treats their customers like this! I will NEVER come back here,and if you come here just make sure to NOT get a drink with her,Do NOT tip her and honestly,I hope she got fired by now,this incident happened in August.

    I am rating this location based on what purpose it appears to serve, which is to be an almost grimy, underground concert venue that serves alcohol and caters to the artsy alternative people who have moved to live in this area (many ostensibly from out of state). I rarely go to concerts, but I knew I had to make the journey to see my girl, Rachel Chinouriri. The information surrounding this event could have better handled, namely I was confused about where the Echoplex was, and why it was impossible to access it from the Echo, even though they appear to be the same building. I had to walk around a block and go under a bridge to find this venue. Thankfully I am a cis man with good GPS-guided navigation skills, but my goodness it is not ideal trying to get to a concert in the evening like that. Separately, I wish people had better concert etiquette. Please do not fill the deliberate path I have preserved for safe exit. And please do not block my view that I had curated for maybe half an hour by standing and adjusting my position in the same spot. People have no social tact these days, my goodness. Honestly, I was happy enough to be in this space with the singers, although I forgot to bring a mask and was super paranoid about catching some airborne virus (COVID isn't over folx!). I luckily was healthy still after leaving. I enjoyed the experience of live music. I enjoyed crying to Rachel Chinouriri pontificating about love. I enjoyed singing along to my favorite songs of hers ("Hills" and "Never Need Me"), the latter of which appears to be her most popular song as everyone was noticeably singing along to it. Would I return here for another concert? Maybe if one of my favorite acts performs here. But Rachel Chinouriri was a rare opportunity and I don't think I want to bother with trying to find parking (or driving in general) in Echo Park ever again.

    Close enough to be with more intimate with people and artist

    Ask the Community - Echoplex

    Are there sitting areas? Or seats at the bar area?

    There are seats lining the sides of the venue and then also in the back where they sell merch. No seats at the bar though.

    How can I contact them? The phone number listed does not go through.

    Go to website and email them

    Need a contact number ASAP! Can someone please provide an alternate phone number?

    Go to website and email them

    Are people required to be vaccinated or wear masks at this venue?

    No your not

    Do the food vendors still come every Wednesday? I just want to eat jerk chicken tacos and oxtail

    I haven't seen any vendors the last two times we've gone

    Is this a 18+ club or can a under 18 can come and dance as well?

    The concert will let you know before you purchase tickets if it's a 21+ or all ages

    Do they accept card for the entrance fee or just cash?

    I believe they are a cashless venue

    How do I go about being booked for a slot in a show?(visiting next weekend and would love to perform)

    Email them

    Where's the entrance to Echoplex?

    on Glendale Avenue, right below sunset!

    Can i Park by the park..?

    Yes, just make sure to read signs because some spots are ticket traps.

    What's the official ticket vendor? Is it ticketfly or eventbright?

    Depends on who's hosting event can be different vendors

    Do they allow small backpacks?

    I'm not sure about backpacks but small bags, yes, but they are subject to a search

    Their and all ages show do u know if I have to pay for a 1 year olds ticket?

    I believe everyone has to purchase a ticket no matter the age

    Is this an indoor or outdoor venue? Thanks! :)

    It's mostly indoors. The stage & two bars are inside. There is a large patio that appears to be a smoking section.

    Is it 18+?

    It depends on the show. Some will be 21+, 18+, or all ages. Check their website for specific dates/shows.

    I've tried multiple times / ways to ask the venue about seating options for the Honorary Title show on 6/2... I've never been to this venue and I'm 8.5 months pregnant. Are there options for seating?

    The walls are lined with booth seating. I'm partly disabled & have never had any difficulty snagging a spot to sit.

    Whats the best place to park?

    Don't tell anyone, but here's a little secret between us yelpers... The best place to park is at the old school French restaurant Taix, across the street on Sunset Blvd. It's valet $5.00, just make sure you ask what time they close before you leave… 

    Age to get in?

    depends on the event. most are 18 over but been there when it was 21 over only.

    Is there handicapped seating?

    No it's standing/general admission.

We got here early (I had a ticket,…read moremy friend did not) and tried to get a ticket at the door for my friend so we parked in front of Los Globos and walked down to the bar. It wasn't far at all from Los Globos. We waited in line and were able to score a ticket. Inside, it's small, but I feel like it's bigger than Gold Diggers? Since we got there early, we were able to find a spot on the couch by the wall. I had a great time and met some cool people, even the band members! I didn't drink, but they did keep a fully stocked glass dispenser with ice cold water. Restroom was fine for a bar. Not too messy or dirty. Had a fun time. One of the people I met there said it's normally a gay bar, but I couldn't tell other than one rainbow fan on the wall. After the gig, a bunch of guys with leather Mongol's vests came in. All in all, great time and awesome show!

Not only did the…read moresound kind of suck for the show (the keyboard wasn't working), but he was also wasted, aggressive, and unbelievably unprofessional. At one point, everyone in the audience was shouting "keys, keys, keys" because we could barely hear them. Someone in the crowd politely told the sound guy that the keys needed more volume, and instead of simply doing his job, the sound guy flipped him off. The situation diffused, until the sound guy decided to punch him in the arm and continued aggressively flipping him off and mocking him. Later, we were all dancing and having a good time when we looked over and realized the sound guy was mocking us. I recommend the manager of this establishment hire someone who can do their job without getting wasted, putting their hands on customers, and throwing a tantrum when someone asks them to adjust the sound. If a polite request to turn up the keyboard is enough to send you into a drunken rage, maybe working with the public isn't for you. Or working, period. Truly embarrassing behavior from a grown man who was literally being paid to be there.

I tried to ignore it but as I was walking in he just kept giving us such a glare it was un tasteful.

On our way back we showed IDs again and security guard started questioning us saying what we're doing why are we coming back so we told him. I thought it was okay at first you know he was doing his job but then I explained we went to just get water and he started saying no re-entry which he didn't imply at first, followed by you can't bring outside drinks in with a mean tone. I then said "Sir, I just said we went to the car to get water I DO NOT have it with me as you can see". He started giving us attitude saying why we're even showing him our ID?? at that point I was annoyed so I said "Just let us in sir we explained ourselves I don't know why this is so complicated". He noticed I got annoyed and started saying "Omg girl I was just joking damn you can't even take a joke why would you show me your ID again I don't want to see it" literally contradicting himself trying to make it seem like he wasn't just being rude. So my brother ended up just telling him "just have a goodnight" and we walked back in, but at that point though I felt so uneasy and just wanted to leave cause he left both of us just feeling weird. Even if he was "joking" please just have a security guard who doesn't "joke" on the clock and leave people with uncertainty, so unprofessional never coming back.

I was not falling down the stairs, nor was I slurring my words, nor was I misaligning my pool shots, but I was definetely feeling the good inside my blood. I note this, not to highlight my cool factor as if I was a frat bro in a Florida party school, but more to describe how my experience was fogged by my consumption. This place was definetely a hot spot to hit, but I just will not be able to descrbie everything with speicifc detail, more, broad strokes of a good time. The place is reached by going down a flight of stairs, which feels like one is going to catch the J line in New York. I think I felt this more because of the Spring St sign- a famous stop in NY, NY. As soon, I got there, the goal was to continue the good time and this place allowed that at a reasonable price. They had these can drinks that I really responded and they were only 7 dollars. Ok, I know that saying something is only 7 dollars in this economy can seem out of touch. But a drink in LA most of the time will run you at least 12 to 16 dollars, and I think it is mostly on the 16 side. So finding a 7 dollar drink in a hot spot is refreshing. It was a Suncruiser- a vodka spirit based drink- that was part of their specials for their night. maybe is more expensive on other nights when it is not on special? After the drink Conrand and I stepped into their floor. It was the first time we were there and it is basically a basement game room on whatever it is that Bane takes to make himself go from puny human to muscle-on-muscle-on-muscle villain. There is a lot of pool tables maybe like 5, and I saw ping pong, and other table games. Additionally, instead of a speaker or a recorder- the one's that spin old timey records- there was a band. I took a short video of the band but I could not tell you if this band was good or bad or their name or their style of music. I was partly present, and I just heard the music, I did not appreciate the performers. It happens. So Conrad and I play all the time together. And I saw a guy playing by himself. We quickly introduced oursevles and then we played pool. Here is the thing that I am happy to write about this place. Unline a regular bar with a pool table, where every one knows your name, this place had the opportunity to meet new people. And I enjoyed playing with this guy. He was a new challenge. He had fresh stories. And he offered a view of the world I enjoyed. So this place offers the opportunity to meet new people over a game of pool. If pool is your thing than this place will make you happy an if pool is your way of meeting new folks then this place will make you happy and give you opportunities to find the folks you imagine you need in your life. In the final analysis, I want to go here again, and experience the place more broadly. Not sure if I will write a new Yelp, because even though I bared bone this one, it still gives the primary messages I want to. And to the guy who I played with thanks for having a good time with me, even if it was short. And sometimes, short, can be just enough.

    This is my first visit here, and I came to see Pearl and the Oysters, one of my favorite bands…read more It's very old place but well taken care of. It used to be a Masonic Lodge, but now it's taken care of and used as a music performance stage. There are two ways of getting in, but the one in the back is used for guest list invite and people who will call their tickets to a concert. I did Wilco, so I ended up in the alleyway behind the building. It didn't take long for me to go in, and meet up with an individual with a computer who checked me in. They do a short bag check and you're pretty much up the stairs to the left, wear your band might have a merch stand going up. When you walk into the hall, there's a bar in the center of the back of the room. They seem to have everything you could want to make a good drink. The place can fit it as many as 500 people. Last night when I went, there was about 3 to 400. The band I went to see is really good and I really enjoyed my time there. I can't wait to see which one of my favorite bands ends up playing there again. For me, it was a very short walk to the metro station, just a block away. There are a lot of good places to go eat and drink before you get there. The only thing I didn't like about the place but I can get over it quick is the fact that they didn't have anywhere to sit. So wear comfortable shoes when you visit.

    Went here for LOTUS JUICE's PLAYER ONE TOUR and it's a great and intimate venue for a concert…read more There's paid parking lots, metered parking, and if you're brave you can get free street parking! Just make sure to read the signs. My friend and I were here for Ultra VIP and the sound check and other activities were around 4:15 PM. We got there a bit earlier and I'm glad at that time, the entrance is at the side, so the building provides shade over the waiting area and there was a gentle breeze too which was nice. Staff is very friendly, helpful and assistance. We had to transfer tickets over and it was as simple as a super short, brief explanation to staff/provided the ticket owner's name and it was all good. None of that BS from larger venues or if we had to deal with a QR code or crazy ticketing system. Huge relief. Thank you for being independent! We got VIP wristbands and they also card you for a wrist band if you want to order alcohol since there's a bar in the back. The concert area is upstairs and it's neat that it's historically a masonic lodge too. Neat door like backdrop to the stage and the historic wooden feel to it is nice too. Restrooms are a bit small, so it can get gross after a show, but we went beforehand so no issues for us. Free water throughout and trashcans everywhere too. Love that logistical planning. There's food and apparently an adjacent restaurant, we didn't get a chance to go, but it smelled good when we were leaving. Lights were a bit glaring but was adjusted and changed throughout the concert versus when it was on for sound check, just adjust the lighting settings on your phone. Good acoustics and sound quality, it got a bit warm at times, but not horrible, so AC is quite strong here. Wouldn't mind coming back here for another show!

    The gallery is filled with bright and colorful works of art made by local artists. I visited the…read moregallery during the Echo Park Rising event and it was so magical. Upon walking in the store front displays some of the highlighted art work and you can see right in. It's a large space and the art work is moderately priced. At the back of the gallery there is an upper level outdoor terrace with a stage set up and plenty of seating around for artists to come perform. What I love about the back is the giant tree and all the ambiance. This is one of the nicest art galleries I've visited in Los Angeles. You can feel a lot of positive energy and tell that the owner who runs the show is a true art veteran.

    I went to an opening here last night (Under the Sun) and had a great time! A band performed inside…read morethe small gallery while another band was setting up outside. The outside space is an amazing grassy retreat with a stage, tables and chairs, and a big ol' tree. The crowd was a mix of once rock stars, "hippies" ("burnouts" may be a more accurate descriptor, I suppose, and I'm only referring to their aesthetics and the fact that they were wielding bottles of booze and celebrating the arrival of each of their friends), hipsters, artists and locals. The people/environment was friendly, and it looked like everyone was having a good time checking out the art, drinking wine and beer, smoking cigarettes, listening to music and talking to each other. As far as the art, there was a mix of collage, sketches, and paintings starting at $40, but most above $100 (and way above $100). The space was cleverly curated and there was an easy flow from artist to artist. There's parking in the Barragan's lot (next door) for $5 or street parking. More info on the Under the Sun show I saw: fine art by Louie Metz, Victor Balogh, Jason Krause, Doug Cox, LC Croskey, PJ Risse and Rob Malone. with performance's by Clowns & Fetuses's and Tramp for the Lord

    Saw King MaLA here and it's a good venue -- albeit, not in the best of areas…read more Parking: I reserved on Spothero at 1136 Ingraham St for $20 prior to the event. It's a 5 minute walk, but it was an intense one. On my way from the parking lot to the venue, I didn't realize the venue was on the left side of the street. I didn't jaywalk, and went to the stop light to walk across. The bus stop lets off on the right side of the street, and there were random people either hanging out(?) in chairs and such on the sidewalk. I was fine, but the walk was a bit stressful. There's a parking lot directly across from the venue and I think it's $30, if you are alone that would be a better choice. But it's manageable. ADA: I didn't see any chairs whatsoever, it's standing room only and did not see anyone using a wheelchair or mobility tool. It would be difficult to see if you're in a wheelchair from the back. The front may work. The restrooms are located on the left side of the venue so there's a lot of people walking to get there. I saw a lot of people standing by the wall on the left side, so in that area towards the front may work. Smoking: They have a small smoking area outside. There's only one way in/out so if people are closer towards the entrance you'll have to excuse yourself to get past them and go back inside. Sound: I wore earplugs, but the sound quality was great!!

    Quite a delayed review here, so my apologies. But we caught up and coming Scottish band High Fade…read morehere a few months ago and as electric as the band was, the ambiance of the space helped amplify the experience. Nice staff, great acoustics, and clean place. Didn't get to eat, but the food smelled and looked great.

    Ended up at this quiet, quaint, moody bar on what I believed was a failed Sunday night because…read moreSticky Rice was closed. My boyfriend and I sat at the bar and had the Chocolate Stout. It was so milky, creamy, delicious... just like me. After a couple more variety of beers, obviously it was time to feast on a classic, timeless all American gem- the hotdog. We ever so gently asked our beer connoisseur, "Excuse me, what comes in the hotdog?" Our mouths already salivating at the prospect of this delicacy. To which the fine gentleman responded "Mustard, mayo and Ketchup." Please remember this important detail, it's crucial to the story. We were feeling very bold as one does when you are glutes deep in a Hazy IPA and a second Stout so We said "Perfect. All three will do." Our eyes were beaming, our spirits were lifting, our bellies were grumbling with anticipation. After a brief three minutes, there she was. The gleaming glizzy. Doused in an intricate, interwoven condiment presentation. So immaculate, so beautiful. With such a moment it was only appropriate that we share the gleaming glizzy Lady and the Tramp style. Yes, sexy indeed. As we hold up both ends of the glizzy to our mouths, locking eyes we simultaneously take one big bite. And then... The most overpowering sensation dominates our mouths, our noses, our eyes even. In a state of shock, teetering on a state of confusion and then rage we jolted. WHAT IS IN THIS HOTDOG??? Because that was not just any plain yellow American mustard. It was a pulsating fire rampaging through our nasal cavities. It was like the world had stood still and we lost sense of gravity. This is not to be confused with a disbelief of happiness. It was a disbelief of deceit. Once we grabbed a hold of ourselves and a grip of reality we waved down the fine gentleman and said, "Is this horseradish???" To which he retorted, "No, everyone asks that. It's Spicy Dijon" Bewildered we looked at each other and knew we were thinking the same thing. A piece of us died that night. In that bar. Because that was Spicy Dijon mustard coursing through our blood, our veins, forever seared in our memories. We were lied to. Made to believe that this gleaming glizzy was normal. Beautiful and unsuspecting. Not even the coldest winter day on the snowy slopes compares to the journey we took with this hotdog. Anyway service 10/10, vibes and drinks spectacular. Will be coming back!

    The wine is fine. We had one good bottle and the rest weren't great. I do enjoy the snacks that…read morethey have on the menu and the outside seating. Ultimately the service from the employees makes this place pretty hard to go back to. I've been a couple times and they're always pretty rude even when they aren't busy in the beginning of the night.
