Gaslamp is a live music club in LBC that also serves food. We went on Fri night to celebrate a…read morebirthday. Knyght Ryder, an 80's hit band was playing. BTW, there is a $15 cover. 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.

I visited this establishment to hear Whey Jennings in concert. I also had evening rations here…read more I ordered the Gaslamp Burger with French Fries. The Biroche Bun was toasted a bit too much. 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.

It bums me out to write this review for a few different reasons. The first being that Chain…read moreReaction is closed and that sucks. The second being that I only made it out to this place once since I only lived in the area for a brief time before it's closing. Growing up on the East Coast I always remember seeing Chain Reaction listed on upcoming tours and when I moved out to LA the venue cut down on hardcore shows and started primarily having metal shows that I didn't really care enough to travel to Anaheim for. In early November I saw that King 810 were playing here so I jumped on the opportunity to come and check this legendary venue out. Now, this venue does have a small parking lot and I got lucky snagging a spot up front even though I showed up fairly late. The venue itself looks absolutely insane. The walls here were packed with t-shirts from bands who played here in the past and it was a truly unique look. I'll be honest, when King 810 took the stage the sound wasn't the best and they had some mic problems but who knows if that was the venue or just the band setup, so I'm just going to ignore that all together. Overall, I'm glad I got to at least check out Chain Reaction once before it's closure. I'm super bummed I missed out on tickets to the final shows here, but at least I got here. RIP Chain Reaction.

Parent perspective:…read more I'm not sure what this place is like the rest of the week, but on Sundays they host an event where local high school bands get to play, and I've been twice now for that. It's a small strip-mall venue tucked into the corner - little stage inside, a few spots to sit outside, and basically standing room only once you walk in (there's one small bench if you get lucky). There's also a small wall you can stand behind if the kids start getting a little rowdy with their teen energy, which is kind of the unofficial parent safe zone. Sound-wise: bring earplugs if you're a parent. It gets loud in there - drums, guitars, and teenage enthusiasm will do that. They've got beers (mostly cans) and sodas, with beer prices running about $7-$9. I didn't really see any real food options, maybe just chips or small snacks, so eat before you come if you're planning to hang out for a while. Cover was about $12 to get in, and there are no in-and-out privileges. There's a sign that says "no moshing," which they seem mostly serious about, but they're a bit lenient when the kids get excited as long as it doesn't get out of hand. Overall, it's a decent little venue doing something cool for the community. I'm just glad they give these kids a real stage and a crowd. I'm a big fan of live music, and it's fun to watch the next generation figure it out in real time.

Good thing the neighbors don't mind you parking in front of their homes, and that you can see from every vantage point on the lawn. The sound is also excellent quality. Great folk attend these concerts too. It's not the Hollywood Bowl, where folk are sharing their wine and pizza, but you put your blanket down to walk and get something to eat, it's respected until you get back. Always vendors available for snacks.

For 2014's lineup, I highly recommend checking out Knyght Ryder & The Answer. Knyght Ryder is an 80's tribute band & I'm in love with everything 80's. The Answer has a lot of schwag that they toss out to the crowd during their show. Enjoy a summer evening with some great live music. Highly recommend!
