I saw this show almost two years ago and the album finally came out, which reminded me to write a…read moreYelp review. My boyfriend and I regularly bring up how amazing it was and how much we want it to come back to LA. This show is absolutely visionary. It is hauntingly beautiful yet cacophonous (in the best way) - a visual, sonic, and story telling adventure. I'm really good at sweeping my feelings under the rug and this show was also weirdly therapeutic, forcing me to feel something for a change! I'm writing this for if and HOPEFULLY when the show comes back to LA. It's a whole immersive experience. Lean into it. Get a fancy drink. Do it up and enjoy! Warning, the show is very loud. I think it adds to the experience in a huge way and is meant to be mildly uncomfortable, but if you are sensitive, maybe bring ear plugs.

They also have a great selection of arcade games, which makes it a fun place to hang out, grab some drinks, and do something different. The vibe is really cool, lively, and fun without feeling too overwhelming. It can definitely get crowded, but the atmosphere, drinks, games, and good service make it worth it. I definitely recommend checking it out, especially for a fun date night!

I had already drank at some breweries before we came here so I didn't want any more mixed drinks. I got a canned drink, I don't remember the name We had some coins and started to play. A couple of the machines took our coins but the games never started which was a bummer but we just moved on. We later saw people playing on them so it was probably something we did wrong. The place was a good vibe with a do playing music. We spent about an hour before we decided to check another place out. My husband and I had a lot of fun. Good way to reminisce when we were young kids playing these games.

Went to see Barns Courtney on a Sunday night at The Moroccan Lounge. Doors were listed at 9:30 PM,…read morewhich already feels pretty late for a Sunday. The frustrating part was standing in line for about 40 minutes while the venue itself appeared mostly empty. I kept wondering why they wouldn't just let people inside to grab a drink and sit down instead of waiting outside. That said, once inside, I really liked the venue. It's small and intimate, split into a bar/lounge area and the stage room. The stage is low to the ground, which makes for a very up close experience with the artist. Probably around 150 people there, good sound, and overall a cool place to catch a live show. I'd definitely come back. I'd just love to skip the long wait outside next time. 4 stars

I'd heard of the Moroccan Lounge for many years now, and I finally got to experience it myself when…read moreI came to see Emeline last month. Overall, I had an extremely positive experience and would love to come back to this venue again. There are quite a few pros of this place: - walking distance from the Metro station - free street parking in the evenings - very friendly and helpful staff members - yummy food options (I only tried the Jamaican beef patty, but it was so delicious!) - beautiful bar/lounge area to hang out before or after the show - super intimate venue where you can get up close and personal with the artists if you're in the first few rows. The only con I experienced was that the main room can get uncomfortably hot and stuffy once the show has started. It honestly felt like there was no air circulation, and I'm not sure if the AC was broken or if they just didn't have it there. Hopefully, they're able to improve that aspect of the venue! If you have the opportunity to visit the Moroccan Lounge, take it! It's a wonderfully intimate atmosphere to enjoy live music from up and coming artists.

This was the last stop in a night where Conrad and I stepped out to LA to have a good time. So by…read morethe time I got there I was tipsy. 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.

Walking into the venue (which must be entered from a remote back alley) people just outside said to us "you're walking into a WEIRD vibe". We thought that meant "punk", and we weren't completely wrong- but we were promptly informed the lead singer of the first band had dislocated her knee and torn her ACL on the stage- it is not known whether the stage caused this but most said the singer was not doing anything crazy in terms of movement. The ambulance was called, and the people in charge were managing the situation to the absolute best of their ability but that poor lead singer was on stage incapacitated with people all around her giving her conflicting advice. This poor thing. They moved all the bands down to the floor level after the first band in order to mitigate the situation. There were some massive sound quality issues, the lights stayed on for the entirety our out-of-town friends set, which they still played like champions- the closing band even had the guys in charge of wandering on the stages behind them and even onto the stage with them, mid-set- (to fix issues I'm sure). I just felt so bad for everyone involved: the injured band, the fans who paid and had to wait a long time through delays, the bands that played after the incident (the band we saw had the lights on the entire set too), and the crew running the show who were clearly just doing their best given the circumstances. I will say it was a calm intimate venue when it all went down- everyone was trying to help, just a crazy first impression of The Smell for us.

My impression from this was that the venue was somewhat better kept than what it was. I had a wonderful time seeing my friend's band perform, and they were absolutely fantastic. They delivered an amazing show, despite sound issues that persisted here and there throughout their set. The community the place brought out and together was also great and a huge plus to the whole night. But the thing that I cannot get over is how absolutely gross this venue is... I was so grossed out that it's actually the reason I had to write a review. I just took a shower, cleaned all the clothes I was wearing while there, and I still can't shake how gross I feel! I think the venue is a great size, great layout, great potential for the atmosphere... and hey, I get that it's summer and it's hot and all, but it was so damn hot, I took my shirt off, stripped only to my bra, and I could barely ignore the heat while trying to enjoy my friend's performance. People were moshing, as this was a punk show, and sweat droplets were flying everywhere.... I mean, it almost felt like I was standing in a shower (gag). Because of this, the whole place ended up just... smelling. Which, I guess, at least they weren't kidding with that name! You'll come across a lot of different smells in your time there, and leave with some new ones of your own (double gag). The bathrooms were... I'm sorry but just absolutely gross. I've seen a few other reviews saying it smells like urine outside... maybe cause it's more desirable to do your business in the alleyway than the bathrooms. There was a roach in one :( I enjoyed a lot about the venue, and I love the community that it attracts, but come on... can we keep it cleaner? And at least cool enough that people don't nearly faint from the lack of air flow? I'm so completely baffled at how this place seems so exclusive in terms of the artists it showcases, and then the venue itself is just genuinely nasty.
