Had a great time abt 2 weeks ago - I wd definitely return! It's important though they the food servers announce IN ADVANCE their gratuity is included in Ur meal!!! Our bartender was very upfront& advised us Asa we came to the bar! - it's located in a parking commercial lot - w/some parking construction it appears.... I am considering having my personal event there -I am confident w/great entertainment like what we celebrated w/the group SEVILLE - everyone would enjoy the ambiance of the Venue! Ms. read more

I cant tell u about the food cuz I've been seated for almost 2 hours at an event and still haven't received my order. The View cocktail finally came and tasted like watered down apple juice with sweet n sour mixed in. This is the same drink order I placed with my food. The seats in the vip booths are so high you have to stand up or sit at the end of the booth to see the stage. Overall vibe is nice. I came for an event to celebrate a birthday. Paid $100 for vip and If it wasnt a birthday with excellent music I'd leave asap. UPDATE: THE FOOD CAME. I asked of I could get the chicken tenders wit lemon pepper. Why these ppl gave me dry lemon pepper seasoning for already fried chicken. Smh Don't come ASAP. I sent my food back, and asked them to actually season the food. They literally dumped all that seasoning they gave me on the side o to my plate. RUDE. read more

I had a great time. I attended as an honoree, the Community Reception of MPAC, Thank Rev. Tulloss for the honor and Steve Bradford for the kind introduction. A full multi purpose music venue for DJ inspired events or live performances. There is a stage, booth and table seating, dance floor, large video screen and professional stage lighting. Located in Torrance, View Music Bar has plenty of free open air parking. There is a full bar and a limited menu serving food items such as flatbreads, wings and sliders. The drinks are a bit overpriced but great venue space. read more

We had the opportunity to witness greatness at The View with the artist Donald Hayes, and let me tell you -- he brought it. That saxophone was TALKING. He did the damn thang, and the vibe in the room was everything. Truly an amazing night. The venue itself is beautiful, and entry was seamless -- no hassle getting in, which I always appreciate. There is a 2-drink minimum, but no complaints there because the drinks did not disappoint. Now, let's talk food... We ordered chicken tacos, which took so long to come out I honestly forgot to take a picture. My hubster ordered the chicken wings and fries. Unfortunately, the fries were definitely undercooked, and the chicken was very light-skinned -- it could have been cooked much more. The food overall needs work, and that part was disappointing compared to the rest of the experience. That said, the artist + atmosphere combo was top-tier. I would absolutely come back for the music and the vibe, but next time, I'd skip the food and stick to drinks only. Great night, unforgettable performance -- just room for improvement in the kitchen. read more

View Music Bar - Light skinned chicken - Music Venues Near Me - Torrance, California

Beautiful venue but the bar service could be better. If they had better, and more efficient bartenders and wait staff, they could double their revenue. This would be a 5 rating instead of 3. read more

Not a fan of management, very funny acting. If renting confirm everything down to the WiFi access. Sound system was screeching every 10 minutes. Lady in charge was acting like she couldn't understand us. We asked her to turn on the lights she just stood there. We asked about WiFi she acted like she didn't understand English. Dj and her are in some sort of kahoots, I say bring your own dj. Very selective hearing and judgy vibes. Couch chairs were sunken in. The place is nice size but I rather a place with better service. The servers were great though. read more

Exterior doesn't look like much but absolutely beautiful interior with cushioned seating, upscale lighting, dance floor. Free parking plentiful. Can shop at Walmart or DollarTree prior [;-) Just not interested in fried food, so I never order food. read more

This place is so unprofessional you pay for VIP seating once you arrive your seats are gone. Management is terrible. I would definitely not recommend this place. Nothing. read more

Auntie GodMom invited Hubbers and I to dinner then catching a show her friend is doing a guest stint at. In all honesty, it isn't our kind of gig, but we got won out by the mere idea of simply spending time with her. We also happen to be free so... yeah, why not. Dinner was only a couple of miles down, so we had plenty of time to make it before Auntie GM's friend got on stage. The entry way was pretty nice and once we were checked in, we were led and seated immediately at our assigned area. I've gone through this area many times to notice this place. I was just never curious enough to look it up. Now I know what it is: it is a venue! I love the set up of booths and couches. I like that there's a bar. My favorite is the lighting on the ceiling. That was really cool, I really like that overall/general set up. For this gig, a full bar was available as well as a really simple menu. Since our party just had dinner, we kinda wanted to give it a little bit more time. Our server, Mo, was cool peeps! She was really friendly and was more than happy to take my order of the egg rolls paired with fries. The event itself had a couple of good moments, but it was pretty much borderline of a sh**show. The sounds weren't that great, it was completely disorganized, they were unprepared (they didn't have enough working mics, music was on and off, there was band equipment but no band, it was supposed to be a tribute to Miami Sound Machine but I didn't hear one single MSM or Gloria Estefan song the 2 hours I was there) and the cherry on top was they didn't even bother introducing Auntie GM's friend who was the special guest of the night! They just told him to get on stage! And the food? Well. The fries were great, but the egg rolls were under cooked. It was watery inside which means they didn't cook it long enough and/or cooked in the wrong temperature. Either way, one bite and I was done. Piggy backing on how disorganized they were? I didn't know it's pay first and they'll deliver later. When my plate was delivered, I asked who I need to pay. The staff who delivered it to me said, "You haven't paid for it yet?!" (I paid it right before we left. I got charged $25 instead of $20, and as much as I wanted to correct the cashier, I let it go. I just hope Mo got paid enough. I was searching for her before we left so I can tip her but all the servers had gone by then.) Judging the venue by itself? Really nice! 4.5. The overall experience of the event: solid 2. But that's on the event organizers. But I am glad of the discovery, though. Should I (or anyone) have the need for a venue for a special event, this might be a good one to consider. read more

Everything all good. Bartender was a little different. But other than that establishment for an event. Queen parking nice venue enough for you to decorate and party. read more

The venue is gorgeous. The set up is on point. Came here for a retirement party. However, the food, had much to be desired. The planning of the food could have been better. When they ran short of food the "refills" were not thoroughly cooked. But overall a nice pleased with the venue. read more

We had a great time at the View. Daniel helped my husband and I with handicap seating. He was very attentive and made accommodations for us. Thank you Daniel! read more

The only thing good to me were the band B.I.G and the singer DANI. The food service was horrible and no easy access for handicap/disabled people. read more

The inside of the venue is amazing. The lights above change views, the dance floor is a good size, and there booths and counter tops. I went to a yelp event and there were about 5 DJs playing house music. The speakers can be kind of loud so don't expect to have a conversation with a person/people unless you want to yell a bit. I didnt get a drink so i cant say much about the bar other than they can make mocktails and there's a QR code for the menu. They had food vendors outside for you to eat. Only complaint is that the stools are the counter top are very tall and they weren't adjustable so it makes it difficult to eat read more

I can't believe there's a music venue so close to home! Located right next to my local Walmart, a 4 min drive from my house. In the same plaza where I usually get my take out sushi next door. We went to see Miyuki for my friend's birthday. The interior looked very luxurious, and the hanging flashing lights gave it a "rave" feel. Good ventilation. No line to get in, the workers were nice. There is an outside patio. They serve food here. Bartenders are awesome! I said my amf was too strong, and the bartender poured some of the drink into another cup and added soda to both and gave me both cups, so it really felt like I got two drinks for the price of one. A similar thing happened to my friends, they accidentally received the incorrect drink, and they gave them the correct drink while letting them keep the old one. Overall we had a really good time. Everyone's saying how this place is a vibe. Us locals still astonished that such a gem was here all along. read more

Good food, drinks, and vibes. Singing and dancing. I like how it's not packed like typical clubs. Got to see my friend spin on the 1s and 2s. Also was able to feel 21 again. Look forward to returning with my younger friends for a dance outing (: I also encounter mature adults who have a shared appreciation for good vibes and music. Shoutout to the security team ! read more

I was there last Sat, great venue environment is excellent wonderful time!! The restroom was kept clean. The food was wonderful it was a private birthday party that I attended read more

The lighting and the ambiance at the View Bar is nice . The owner is not flexible nor is she culturally diverse. And rude by my standards.We chose this venue because our original location was no longer in business. Our group was about 150 people. It was difficult to get a paid dress rehearsal with the lighting staff DJ owner. The owner was 45 minutes late. The second rehearsal owner had her mom let us in until she arrived. Owner counted her alcoholic beverages at the bar, and measured where the liquor was, as if we would steal from the establishment. One of the restrooms in the women's stalls was out of order for an entire week.the small dressing room became smaller the day of the event when all of tables and sofas were stacked an stored the day of the event 12/13/2024. We paid for hors d'oeuvres, and they were hour late. The bartender was friendly. They didn't have enough servers. Some of our guests had to help serve because it wasn't. She didn't have enough help. We had to purchase rental tables for the venue, and we had to hire somebody to set up the tables and move some of the furniture that was in the view, which should've been handled by the owner. The Food was OK. They served the appetizers one hour late, and it was meatballs, without a fork or a half of an eggroll, so . I'm assuming the venue never heard of a cocktail forks. Our event was a Renaissance after ffive party. The food consisted of mystery chicken red pasta mixed field greens diced carrots zucchini that was bitter and unseasoned jambalaya rolls . Sara Lee cake sliced 1/8 of an inch with blueberries and sliced strawberries.The Parking was plentiful. I would say if you're going to rent this venue. Think again. read more

View Music Bar - Event ticket - Music Venues Near Me - Torrance, California

Underrated as fuck, let me tell you... this place is a random little gem. Straight up Vegas feel, with out the 4+ hour drive or prices. The new menu is straight fire, Chef Law is a crazy New Yorker that gets down in the kitchen. The chefs especial pork belly was mouth watering, the South Bay sliders are damn good as well. I don't think you can go wrong with any of the items on the menu, No Cap! The music is great, you can feel the bass in your heart, the lights are sick. The vip room is basically sound prof for all the bachelor party Fuckery, what more can you ask for. read more

An awesome place to hang out. The place is elegant, clean, and well kept. You just have to experience it yourself to know it.

This past Sunday, the wife and some friends went here for the 49ers playoff game. First off, security was great making sure no weapons were on anyone which is the right thing to do. Service was not great as you had to chase the servers down if you can find them. The bar tenders (female) that was there was very rude/impolite and not very respectful. Not sure if she had a bad day but, you are in a service environment and just a bit of respect would have been enough and she definitely did not get a tip. The drinks are were ok i guess but were overprice even the simple drinks. It's one thing if you tasted more alcohol but it tasted like water with a touch of alcohol. We paid $73 for 2 lemon drops, Heineken and a bottle of water. SMFH. Anyways the inside was ok but bootlegging the television service was not kool. In the middle of the game the darn screens were buffering. I can tell toy this was not the internet but either firestick or some other jail break streaming service. We left, and went some place else and had a ball. I can share that we will not be coming back to this place and won't recommend to none of my colleagues in the area. You have lost a customer and regret that my friends even suggested this place. Bang Bang. read more

This is a hidden gem! I didn't know it's around the area! We came to hangout and drink for my birthday and had an awesome time! The band is classic rock. The performance was very good and i had a good time. I will definitely comeback here! Theres always different music and vibe so you have to check their site! Oh drinks are good but its in a small side and also they serve food as well. read more

This place has potential but i feel like someones going to steal my purse after a night dancing lol when i step outside. The drinks are eh ok i guess but theyre overprice even the simple drinks. Itd be one thing if you tasted more alcohol but like no lie tasted like water with a hint of alcohol if you know what i mean? Anyways the inside is nice. It is kinda small but i rather prefer small and busy instead of open and empty. For the night i was here it was not busy and it was awkward to be up dancing haha so we just sat and drank until the few people who had liquid courage got up to dance. read more

Great place, food, staff. Need to book an event this is the place. Very clean and good environment. HIGHLY RECOMMEND.

This is a venue with a lot of potential but...is just in a weird location and has no set hours and it's just a place to be avoided until they get it together. There is a cook that was hired that a few people has said good things about and I failed to see it after a coule visits and just found the food to be frozen fry and serve with sysco bottled sauces nothing great at all. read more

Located off of the 405 at Normandie. A spacious bar located in a great area. In the plaza is a Walmart, Dollar Tree and other stores too. As soon as you walk in you definitely get Vegas vibes. There's plenty of seating and room for dancing. The restrooms were also clean too. Latasha Lee performed at this bar and it was such a dope concert. read more

Came to see a friend's performance during a Japanese Urban showcase. Doorman and admissions person were polite. Cool looking venue makes you almost forget its located in a south bay strip mall. Nice layout inside and smoking area organized and accommodating as well. Event was busy but bartenders were quick and efficient. It's no dive bar so didn't expect cheap strong drinks. Jameson Ginger at $15 each were still good enough pours. Restrooms were clean. Did not try the wings and fries being sold. Parking convenient with the location. Cheers. read more

Nice place to throw an event but it was hard to find. You have to enter at through the Walmart Shopping Center and drive all the way to the back of the parking lot to see the club!!!! They need a sign to find it because the street that it's supposed to be in cuts off, and you have to drive around to find it! Drinks were too expensive...$20.00 for a Long Island Iced Tea!! Shyt... drink b4 you go in or bring a flask! A friend's band was playing there & I went to support him. Look like folks were too cool to dance or to ask somebody. But the inside was nice, but drink before you get there & maybe eat too! read more

View Music Bar venue is fantastic! With the promise of dinner and the opportunity to see Sesuko Hata, for $80 at the door, we were in! The setting was awesome, but we cannot say that about the"dinner." Appetizers, snack. or basket would have been far more accurate. Fried Chicken wings, fried chicken tenders, and fried veggie spring rolls, all offered with fries and fried sweet potatoes was all that was offered! No healthy choices in alignment with the beautiful theme of "Awakening!" Please work on your menu to be in synch with your lovely venue, staff, and great artist. We left hungry, but Awakened! read more

Was good until one off the bartenders threw a little pissy fit for not getting tipped after I bought my first beer (8$). Dude said "this is your third drink and you haven't tipped me yet!" It was my first drink I bought for myself lol. Dude is a fool for that and kinda ruined the rest of the vibe for the night. I'm sure he was just stressed about other things and needed money for whatever but not a good look for the business. Seems greedy to be pestering people for tips when all you're doing is handing me a beer, i would leave a tip for a drink that requires actual effort to put together, not overpriced beer. My family owns a couple bars In Chicago and we would get rid of any staff in a heart beat if they talked to customers like that. If I were involved with the management I would use this guy as an example to show other staff that they are indeed replaceable. To the owner, if your staff won't respect the customers the customers won't respect your business which could lead to a lot of problems especially considering that most of your customers are going to be intoxicated. Asides from all of that, good venue, good music, diverse crowd read more

The ambiounce of this establishment was great! I do suggest you eat before you get there based off of the time it takes to get your food and the quality of food they have. Other than that it's a great place to party especially if you like jazz! read more
