Staff is always very friendly upon arriving and so helpful in finding seats. They also say thanks for coming as I'm leaving, which is always cute when at a big venue! They sell drinks and snacks, for example M&Ms and Reese's Peanut Butter Cups for $4 a pop, at the concession stands. I like sitting in Row 1 of any of the balcony seats as you then get a nice, clear view although from a bit of a distance. I have 20/20 vision and you can't see every expression of the faces on stage but it's close enough for me. I like the first row of the Mezzanine because no one is in front of you (obvi) but also they have cup holders along the cement low balcony in front of you. I also sat in the balcony for a PaleyFest at the Dolby Theatre of Hacks last year, followed by a Q&A with the cast. No issues at all seeing the screen and being comfortable while watching from the balcony. Seats are comfy with plenty of room between you and the stranger next to you. Plus they are padded so just overall more comfortable than other venues. Love going to shows at Dolby Theatre in the heart of Tinsel Town right at Hollywood Blvd & Highland! Note - there is a back sneaky entrance if you know whatsup & are getting dropped off with hardly any people!

I was most recently here for a Steven Tyler event, and while it was decked out by another company for the event, simply walking around and looking at everything, you can see the attention to detail in every single thing. The bars are beautiful, and the view of the stage is great whether on the floor, the raised sides or upstairs. There is a new event space in the back, and I love it! It felt like a completely different place! Great bar and lots of tables to sit! I look forward to coming back!

So I finally saw the legend, Dave Chappelle…read more Before I speak about the infamous Hollywood Palladium, let me first give my reaction to the overall performance. Going to a Dave Chappelle stand-up was truly a spectacle worth seeing. I didn't even seem to care if this special topped any of his others; just being in the same room was something to behold. I've been waiting for over 20 years to see this show, and not because I couldn't afford it, because these tickets had only cost me around $500(Cheap), no, it was because I had other things in life to accomplish that were more important, so this had to be placed on the back burner. I almost couldn't see myself going to this event either, and that is only because I live way out in Temecula, CA. It had taken me over two hours to get here. And just two days prior, I also attended the Katt Williams special over at the Intuit Dome in Inglewood, CA. So the venue had stated that the doors would be open at 6:00, and the show would start around 7:00. That was not the case. The doors actually opened at 8:00, and the show started at 9:00. I could only imagine if I pre-scheduled an Uber to pick me up according to those provided times, I would have been so pissed. Before entering the venue, it was stated that Dave Chappelle would not let anyone bring in any personal electronic devices without storing them first in one of those goofy-looking Yondr pouches. So we had decided to just tell security that we had to check our blood pressure every so many minutes(Cap), and they understood, and let us keep our phones out. But we were also warned not to take any photos or videos during the show, otherwise they would have to escort us out. The seats at this venue were almost equivalent to what I had felt just three days prior when I went to the Intuit Dome(Hard). Now, on the topic of seats. Why did the venue state that provided seats wouldn't be a thing for General Admission? It was stated that any General Admission ticket holders would be more on the lines of a first come first serve. But once having gotten through the security checkpoint, they for odd reasons, now provided us with physical seat tickets as shown in one of my images below(Liars). It's funny that I speak so harshly about the Palladium, because during Chappelle's set, even he acknowledged how this wasn't his favorite venue either. He had stated that there were two significant reasons why he had chosen to perform there that night, and one of them was that this was the last place he had seen Prince perform, and the other was for some personal anniversary of his. Other than those few things, he wouldn't have performed here(Yikes). And you don't have to believe me, because the special will come out on Netflix soon enough(Verbatim). So, who was in the building that night? Some may be wondering. Well, it was a weird line-up if I'm being honest. So for Dave's opening acts, first it was Donnell Rawlings, Trevor Noah(Super Strange), Black Star(Mos Def & Talib Kweli), Killer Mike(Rapper), and for his closing act, it was Lizzo(WTF) out of all people. You could tell early on that people were not feeling any of the musical acts, a bunch of mumbling over the loud beats. But once Dave had finished his set, and Lizzo was being announced, that's when everybody started to grab their personal belongings and head for the doors, while she was in the middle of playing her flute(Embarrassing).

We used to love the Fonda, but I don't care for their new toss us in the very last row if you have an issue policy. That is just not okay. They used to have an ADA section somewhat near the front and that is where it should be. So, stop making us feel unwanted. The sound system was great this time for the lead act, but for all the others it was awful. The place is very pretty with art deco everywhere and great neon. The bartenders are super nice and they have a nice merchandise table. Parking is for a fee, but close by. The line for the pit is nuts, but that is not the fault of the Fonda. They have some excellent shows.

How significantly fitting that The Vermont Hollywood is next to a Filipino supermarket, a Filipino food joint, plus this music venue has some Islander workers because I saw/interacted with some Filipino and Samoan staff while my wife & I were here thanks to some music biz homies that got us free tickets to the 2026 Olivia Rodrigo SOUR PROM!! Parking isn't extremely bad because you can park across the street at the random strip mall areas. Inside, they have a well-ventilated area that leads to the bar and into the stage. Their bar is pretty chill just like their bartenders. The red headed chick was really really nice and gave my wife a OLIVIA RITA cocktail that she didn't skimp on the alcoholic with too! Restrooms can be a toss up mainly because of the fans who mess it up for others. The stage area is really nice with 3 video walls around some quality speakers. It's very spacious along with its nice balcony area. They had enough space to fit a cool Photo Booth and another booth for the Olivia Rodrigo swag. All in all, The Vermont Hollywood is a really nice venue. You won't expect it took look like this from the outside, but it's really nice inside!

Visited The Regent to see Margaret Cho host Asian Nation for Netflix Is a Joke fest…read more Parking: Located on a one-way street with several cash only $25 parking lots across from the venue (red and white signs that say Joe's Parking). The venue is located in DTLA on skid row... If you park nearby in one of the lots and stick to walking back and forth from the venue, you'll be okay. Don't recommend walking around this area especially if you're by yourself. Food: The food was scrumptious at the adjacent Prufrock Pizzeria. I would come back to this venue just to eat there beforehand. Service: It would've been nice if the venue employee was more proactive, there was a gaggle of people blocking the walkway and it took him a minute to tell them to move. After that, he just stared blankly at us after that until I asked where our assigned seats were. Ambiance: The actual venue was nice. It was intimate and you can see the performer even if you're in the back. We were on the right side towards the front, a few rows back. I appreciated that the mic level wasn't too loud even though we sat in front of the speaker; sometimes at comedy events it feels like the mic is SO LOUD that I have to wear earplugs. At this venue, the noise level was perfect.

The bedroom photo op was so fun, the highlight of the event for me! The only thing is, is it's probably the stickiest floor bar I've ever been to.

Here, VIP balcony or Lower Balcony is the only way to go. 2) Sound. Here, especially on the balcony, bass and clarity for a hip hop show of this caliber was on point. 3) Cleanliness and Space. Restrooms were very clean, well tended to and sufficient with enough stalls so no lines stealing from your time to enjoy the show. Whole venue has simple, real class to it. 4) In & Out with ease. Security smooth, plenty of exit options, including an elevator with an attendant. I don't like feeling crowded or like I'm gettin' caught in a cow herd. The Hollywood Bowl is the only venue I'd compromise this preference for simply because it's the only venue worth that sacrifice. 5) Parking. Lots of parking but get there early enough and check for other events the same day as your show. We made the mistake of not coming early enough to account for the Laker game that day. I had a great time, especially for it being my first time there.

I enjoyed this show WAY more than the previous show with Dayseeker, but this is mainly because I am more familiar with the artist, so this would be the second time that I got to see Matt and their crew perform twice. The venue itself is really nice and modernized, and is located in an entertainment hub, so you will see a good amount of bars and other entertainment venues nearby. I do know that it is not a ground-floor venue, so you have to climb stairs or take an escalator/elevator. I personally do not buy concessions here due to me being cheap, but they offer free water at the bars, which I personally like, as most venues force you to purchase bottled water or use a drinking fountain. The cheap tickets are all part of the upstairs seated area, while the lower floor area costs more. From what I know, there aren't really any assigned seats, so it's first come first serve, but you will have people standing up during the main act, of course, because concertgoers will be concertgoers. The seats are very comfortable, bathrooms are accessible, and people who need ADA seating get their own separate section. The location, given that it's in DTLA, is so accessible by public transit that I can't even name all of the buses that run nearby off the top of my head. You can also take the 2 nearby trains, the A and the E, and get off at Pico station the same way you would for a Lakers, Sparks, or Kings game, Crypto.com Arena concert, or LA Convention Center event. I am somewhat familiar with the DTLA area, and I recommend concertgoers, if they feel comfortable doing so, to explore cheaper eating options away from the area if they plan to save money-- I do this all the time. I know that there is a Denny's, Wendy's, and Fatburger down the street. You have Chick Fil-A, Chipotle, 7-Eleven, and Jollibee along 7th Street by the BLOC area. You can also ride the train or bus to go further out-- there is a Dave's Hot Chicken by Little Tokyo Japanese Plaza that I love going to all the time. Dutch Bros by USC just opened up, by the California ScienCenter.
