This is a huge challenge for all but especially seniors.

Concerts are…read moreheld in the evening when the sun starts setting so it is cool by the end of the concert due to the sea breeze from the nearby ocean. The amphitheater is not really accessible for the physically handicap. Has only one section that is relatively level, rest of the Amphitheater is accessible by stairs or steep and sloped walkways. Bathrooms on both sides and at top are available for the audience. The neat thing about the stage, is that it has a walk way over the orchestra pit, so the performers can walk from the stage to the front row area of the Amphitheater. Some performers will walk into the audience after they leave the stage area. Food trucks are usually adjacent and staff sets up lots of chairs and tables for a nice food experience. Residents are allowed adult beverages ( Alcohol ). Some drink a bit too much. Parking is available around the Amphitheater and the streets. There is no charge to attend and park your vehicle. Basically the concerts are only for residents and their invited guests.

I wouldn't say this place is exactly a hot spot but I have been twice now and both times were fun. If you're in the area, it's a great late night spot after you crash and burn at Acapulco Inn or try and fail to 'Shoot The Dog' across the street. Club Tre has lots of Tupac posters on the wall and obviously the highlight is the karaoke machine. Most people sing Ja Rule but I prefer ODB or Dr. Dre. There isn't a huge selection of songs but you will be able to find most of your favorite 90's rap superstars there. PS - I talked to the owner and they are in the process of building a website and will start promoting now that LBSU is back in school. Right now, they're only open on Friday/Saturday nights though - still definitely worth checking out if you want a night cap.

Traffic to enter the venue was ugly and slow due to other venue events that were ending as we were entering. I take partial blame for not realizing that Great Park Irvine sent both a text and email to me approx. 7 hours before showtime to advise me of parking and traffic issues that I would encounter. Once we entered, we were both pleasantly surprised that the varied foods and drinks available for purchase. Finding our seats was somewhat aggravating. When I purchased our tickets on-line, it provided the section row and seat numbers. But at this concert, the signage for sections was not very prominent. We had to ask several Symphony volunteers where our section was. We finally stumbled onto the section but where the hell was row 03310??? Turns out that row was more like a table number, with 4 chairs and no seat numbers. Unsure if we had reached the right seating area, we asked some very nice folks sitting at the table next to us if we were in the right location. Yes! we were. My wife and I were quite impressed with the seating that we got for $70 each. We were seated at a round table with a tablecloth on it. The folding chairs we sat on were very comfortable as well. This seating arrangement was very nice for watching a concert in style. Just wish we were hungry, I saw a stand selling charcuterie boards and that would have made the evening that more special for us. After the concert, we waited several minutes for the majority nof the crowd to leave the parking lot. Overall, we really like attending the Pacific Symphony's Outdoor Summer Concert at Great Park Live. Knowing what we learned that night, we can now better plan our next evening concert there.

They allow small clutches or up to a 12x13 clear bag. Our first visit on July 4th was super busy and parking took a while because there were roads closed off, however yesterday's Star Wars concert was really easy to get into with no wait at all for parking. It's very easy to get into the venue and there were ushers showing us to our seats. The VIP section and forward middle areas were all circular tables with chairs so you can eat and drink comfortably while watching the performance. The other seats are foldout style seats in rows with cup holders. The chairs in some areas had little platforms to put your snacks. There are vendors that sell all kinds of food and drink at premium prices but that's expected at these events. There are large screens to view different camera angles of the concert if you are further back and don't have a full clear view of the stage. The sound quality was excellent and the performance was spectacular.

We had a blast! The band had the crowd jumping. In addition, the place is big w/ lots of tables for large groups (there were ~ 15 in our party). The dance floor is spacious also, so it didn't get body to body. Lastly, the clientele are chill, and no one was looking to cause trouble unlike some places. Our waitress took excellent care of us (I forgot her name). But all the staff was cool. I ordered a few drinks from Yvette at the bar, and she was friendly & warm. The only downside is the food is pricey & average. That issue is easily resolved by eating beforehand (band starts @ ~ 9 pm). I only had snacks at Gaslamp to line my stomach for all the alcohol. I would definitely return to enjoy a fun night in a low key place. The cover is reasonable, and the service is very good.

They did honour my request to have the burger plain with just the bun, meat and cheese. Good. The burger was decent but nothing special especially considering the price. The French Fries were decent. Men's washroom was clean and had paper towels... good. I'm glad that the bartender who served me tucked his shirt in... looks professional. I was not able to understand what Whey Jennings said from the stage. Either he did not speak well or else that the acoustics were bad. If I was to assign a letter grade as is done in school, this establishment would be in there solid with a B.

This review, however, will highlight Jan Popper Theater, which resides within Schoenberg and houses many of LCC Theatre Company's quarterly shows. As a former company member and as a frequent audience member, Jan Popper is truly a wonderful venue. The theater is just big and just small enough to make the audience feel cozy yet grandiose. Of the theater venues at UCLA that are not part of TFT, this one is great for what it is. There are a variety of lighting choices, giving small shows the option to get creative. And the venue's sound and projection capabilities (though simple) do the trick! As an audience member, aim to arrive 15 minutes before your show starts in order to find parking and get a seat. Park in Lot 2 and pay at the drive by parking kiosk (not the pay-by-space machines) to get the most for your buck. They only sell all-day passes, but it's worth it to not have to worry about walking all the way back to the parking lot to add more time to your space.

They also televise the concert on two big screens. One inside and one outside. Pretty much it is a free concert for people to enjoy. Hangar usually has great cover band lineup. You cannot go wrong with this place. If you purchase a concert ticket, admission to the fair is free. That is a deal you cannot beat. Inside seating and outdoor standing is available. If it wasn't for the Hangar, the OC fair would be very boring. Aside from the Pacific Amphitheater. I come back every year. Sales of adult beverages is surrounding this place.

Wow, what an honor for me to be the 2nd person to write a review on this indoor venue…read more After 16 years of being in the spotlight, I am so surprised that first off, The Hangar has a Yelp page, and even more surprised that no one has done a review on this simple, practical, lovely venue for concerts. While we were at the OC Fair, my son purchased a single ticket just for me to go and see Breakdown, the Tom Petty tribute band. It was purchased a week before the show. They were doing a special tribute for all of his greatest songs/hits that he had throughout the years. My ticket was $30. Show started exactly at 8:15pm. I had a great seat. Section 102, Row M, Seat 17. When I got there, I couldn't find my seat. Asked one of the ushers over there to show me my seat and he had a better suggestion by telling me to sit more closer to the stage. Smart usher, so I took up on his offer. They had one of those metal folding chairs. Place was super crowded, but in a very good way. No one was in your face and the venue had almost 700 people, if not more. The energy in the venue was electrifying, magical and magnetic. I have been a fan of Tom Petty for the past 25 years when one of my neighbors would blast his music everyday on repeat.. They allow you to bring in alcohol, (beer & wine), and snacks. The sound system of the venue was spectacular, it was just perfect! Not too loud. And had 2 large TVs by the sides of the stage. Place was very clean, so were both restrooms, and the show lasted for almost 2 hours. People were even dancing by the stage. 4 security guards were close to the stage so they can protect everyone. Especially the crazy fans. May Tom Petty (RIP) and all we have now is his photos, memorabilia, CDs DVDs, and memories.. What a legend he was... Thank you all very much for this beautiful, memorable evening that was on July 29the of this year!! You can park at the OC Fair.

It can get crowded on weekends and the worst part is having to wait in line for the elevator. The elevators are quite small and when everyone's trying to get to the rooftop bar, it can feel like you're waiting at a club just to get into the elevator. The bartenders are really cool and on weekends they have a DJ. No one really dances but it's nice to have the vibe. Definitely one of my favorite places in Long Beach right now.
