    Saw Lords of Acid at the Echoplex and it was a great show! The venue is pretty large inside and there's a patio outside to get some air. Parking is horrible and you're lucky if you can find any nearby. We had to park by the lake.

    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!

    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.

    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.

    (Drank 07/27/26 MO @ 4:00pm and many times before): The bar's former literal address was 4100…read moreSunset Blvd., so why use a different physical address now? Since I moved into the Silver Lake hipsterhood over 15 years ago, the 4100 Bar quickly became my local watering hole of a quasi dive bar. As I liked to say, "I rolled myself down the hill and later climbed my way back up" after a trip to this establishment. Formerly a distinguished dive bar called The Detour (which I also went to back in the day), it was overhauled and reopened under new ownership in 2001. Since then, it has become a staple in the community and celebrated its 25th anniversary as of this review. Although it's felt like I've been here 4100 times, would I continue to visit this corner neighborhood bar!? PURCHASE(S) Arts District Brewing 4100 Blonde Golden Ale Beer 5.00% ABV 16floz Draft ($5.00 HH): Rich amber color, light malty aroma, light body, light grainy malty sweet flavor, smooth finish, and light malty sweet aftertaste. West Coast Negroni ($10.00 HH): An interesting "beertail" that seemingly worked with its relaxing smooth taste; but honestly, I preferred the two separate to fully enjoy both. Arts District Brewing Traction IPA Beer 7.50% ABV 16floz Draft ($9.00): Bright amber color, light hoppy aroma, light body, light hoppy piney flavor, crisp smooth finish, and light hoppy aftertaste. Boilermaker (4100 Blonde) with Vodka Shot ($10.00 HH): I never understood the thought behind a liquor shot served with a beer whether it was done as a shot before or after the beer or dropped in such as the more famous Irish Car Bomb. From a marketing and sales perspective at a bar, it made sense, and maybe it got patrons drunk faster. However, from a taste perspective, it really was a waste of time and neither one or the other offered much as a pair. Boilermaker (4100 Blonde) with Whiskey Shot ($10.00 HH x3): See above. SERVICE Initially met by the front door security who checked IDs, I casually approached the bar and was greeted by a young man who easily and quickly took my orders throughout the time I was there. There wasn't any table service, so please bring your empties back to the bar and order another. Once it was time to close out, it was easy-peasy - cheers! PARKING (Varied: FREE this instance): I simply walked the five minutes from my place. Otherwise, there appeared to be some spots along the main drags of Sunset Blvd., Manzanita St., and all surrounding roads (please read all posted street signs) - 'nuff said. ATMOSPHERE, DÉCOR, AMBIENCE A divey ramshackled-like building with a central four-sided bar, booths along all of the walls, two well-known photobooths (b/w 4pc strip $7.00), a pool table, and simply just randomness of decorations inside. Outside, there were several pool tables, a ton of communal wooden benches, and colorful tarps that shielded you from the rain and sun. Inside, minimal natural lighting entered through the windows and doors while a random assortment of electric ceiling and hung lights filled the rest. Out on the patio, there was plenty of natural lighting while a similar electric lights situation was present and the many street lights. I didn't recall seeing any TVs while music from a jukebox played in the background. ATTIRE Totally casual, so I would normally be in a t-shirt, boardshorts, and flip-flops. OVERALL Why it took me so long to post a review for the 4100 Bar I had no idea, but I'm glad I finally did. They had a decent selection of beers on tap and liquor for cocktails or shots, no served food so bring your own (they also had catering and food trucks at times), the prices were comparable, the vibe was very kick-back, and the service was straightforward. They generally checked all of the boxes I hoped to find in a dive bar. Furry family members were allowed on the outdoor patio (water bowls available), there were Happy Hour specials (Daily until 8pm and MO-TU 10pm-12am), and almost certain nightly entertainment such as trivia, music, and more were available. I found very complete value based on the prices, service, and experience noted above (TOTAL paid experience was around $70.00 BEFORE any discounts, points usage, and/or tip). And, they accepted my credit card of choice... AMEX! 5.0 STARS

    My first bar experience in the US, and unfortunately it left a lasting bad impression…read more The security staff were very friendly, we got in without any issues, and we didn't have to wait long in line. The bar itself has a cozy atmosphere, and the photo booths are a great touch. We first ordered drinks from a female bartender who was friendly, professional, and served us quickly. The restrooms were clean and spacious. Having only two stalls for such a busy venue isn't ideal, but it could always be worse. Later, we went back to order another round. An older white bartender wearing glasses started serving us, and while he was preparing our drinks, he was also taking another group's order at the same time. I completely understood that since the bar was very busy. We ordered two Whiskey Sours and one of the bar's signature cucumber cocktails. The Whiskey Sours were served in margarita glasses without ice instead of traditional whiskey glasses. I assumed they had simply run out of the proper glassware because the bar was packed, so we didn't complain. The real problem started when it was time to pay. The bartender placed the payment terminal in front of the other group instead of us, and they accidentally paid for our order. Instead of acknowledging that it was his mistake, he immediately acted as if it was somehow our fault. We tried to resolve the situation calmly and even offered to pay the other group's bill and buy them an extra drink to make up for the price difference (their bill was about $31, while ours was around $45). When it came time for us to pay, I chose not to leave a tip because of the multiple mistakes that had already happened. At that point, the bartender completely lost his temper. In the middle of a packed bar, he raised his voice and started yelling at us, saying it was disrespectful not to tip him. He also complained that we had ordered drinks that weren't on the regular menu and that making them had taken him "so much time." As a bartender myself, I know exactly how long it takes to make a Whiskey Sour, and it's certainly not an unusually time-consuming cocktail. If preparing it had been a problem, he could have simply told us before taking our order. He continued shouting that the bar was extremely busy, called our behavior "disrespectful" and "f***ed up," and finally told us he would never serve us again. We were honestly shocked. This was the first time we've ever experienced someone reacting this aggressively simply because we chose not to leave a tip, especially after such poor service. I've worked in customer service for years, and I always tip when I receive good service. I would have had absolutely no problem leaving a generous tip if our experience had been pleasant. After that confrontation, we no longer felt comfortable staying in the bar, so we left immediately with a very negative impression. Looking back, I wish I had read the reviews beforehand. It seems that many of the negative reviews mention the exact same bartender. A truly disappointing experience.

The food is probably what would bring me back here. Few things about the scene - it looks cleaner in the photos than it looks/feels in person. The entrance door is open which invites a natural breeze, but it also invites flies. We sat all the way on the inside of the restaurant and flies were still helping themselves. Tables and seats are worn. When we went, some parts were sticky. I checked out another table and felt something similar, so I just tried to make myself as comfortable as possible by not moving from my seat. Service was not the best. Maybe it's because there were two of us, but we almost received no attention here. It felt like the waiters were more interested in people at the bar, so we had to flag down a few different waiters that were coming in and out of the kitchen for some help.

On my most recent trip, I came here after having dinner with a couple of friends in the area for a after dinner drink/ night cap. Ordered the martini and it was good! Just a great place in the area to meet up with friends to grab a cocktail if you wanna low-key place that has reasonable prices for good cocktails.

    After work, we were pretty stressed and just wanted to grab a drink. The front door host, Nate, was…read moreincredibly nice and honestly made our day. He was friendly, welcoming, and gave us a great first impression. However, our experience afterward was disappointing. We waited nearly 20 minutes to be seated and another 20-30 minutes before anyone took our order. I understand that restaurants get busy, and we were trying to be patient because we could see the staff was overwhelmed. When we finally got our beer, I told our server, Noah, that I could pour it myself if that would help. Instead of explaining the situation politely, he responded with attitude and said, "You know I can't serve you guys, right?" I apologized, but then he told us, "Nah, you guys have to leave." This was frustrating after waiting so long just to place an order. We were never rude or disrespectful to the staff, so the interaction felt unprofessional and unnecessary. I completely understand being busy, but customer service should still be respectful. Unfortunately, this experience left a negative impression despite the great welcome we received from Nate.
