This tiny theater is a great place to see your favorite artist if you get selected through…read moreiHeartRadio raffles, through its affiliate radio stations, or you have the hookup. The venue has a capacity of less than 200 people, making for an intimate experience. I was lucky enough to be chosen to see Madison Beer perform UP CLOSE, and she was even more stunning in person. Her live performance was truly spectacular, and the small stage allowed for a personal connection with the artist. The best part? The experience was FREE. It was also my first time seeing JoJo (on the radio). Whenever I'm listening to KIIS FM, I always wonder what radio MCs look like. LOL. Side note - I want to give a heads up about parking. The email confirmation suggested parking at a building structure where Morton Steakhouse is located, but this turned out to be a MISTAKE. The parking structure only accepts cash, and it costs $12.50. Luckily, I had it ready thanks to the email. Second, there is only ONE PARKING GATE to leave this structure. It moves slow and there are two lanes that merge to the gate. You're in a better situation to park your car blocks away from the theater then to park here and be stuck.

Recently won last-minute tix to see John Mayer at iHeart Theater courtesy of MyFM. (3 hours before…read morecheck-in!) First time at this venue. Arrived around 5:10PM and parked in the lot off of Bob Hope Dr. for $10 (Cash only!). There's some residential parking, just be aware of the parking restrictions posted on signage. The lot is a bit hidden, you have to go up a narrow street across from Johnny Carson Park. The venue itself is about a 3 minute walk away. They said people couldn't line up before 5PM, but when we arrived at the venue around 5:15PM we were already pretty much last in line. So I'm guessing people can still line up a few hours earlier or had VIP status or something. There are two lines that seem to look like they are one but they are not: one line is to check in and get your wristband, the main line is for after you check in and are ready to proceed to security check/ entry into venue. As you enter the venue, there's an electronic marquee with the face of the artist performing that you should take a pic with for memory. There's a small lounge before stepping into the actual theater that has restrooms and pics of artists who've performed here in the past. The show started promptly at 7PM and was being live streamed. I noticed there are balcony seats for VIPs, which offer a much better view of the stage. We were on the floor about 2 rows from the back and couldn't see the stage since the stage was so low! Wish they would elevate the stage so that people in the back could see. Also, John was sitting down for the first half of the performance and we couldn't even see him. Luckily, that venue is small enough where he could hear us yelling at him to stand up, which eventually he did. There are complimentary drinks (soda, water) stage right. I nabbed a few before the show started. There were about ~400 people last night, about ~300 on the floor. Acoustics were great, lights were awesome. Just wished I could have seen the stage from the back. It was a total bummer. The concert lasted exactly 1 hour, and John played 9 songs with some banter and interviews in between. It was great to hear him play at a small venue such as this. If you end up getting VIP tickets or have connections with iHeart, I'm sure you'll get a better view of the stage and overall a better experience. You can even win a meet and greet with the artist through certain radio stations!

As someone who has frequented this place for the last couple years, I believe I can give yall a…read moregood idea of what to expect. I mostly come for MondayNightVibes, their karaoke joint. It's often going to be the same people performing, and most are actually singers. Lol. I won the karaoke contest a few months back, and was very annoyed that you can only redeem your win the FOLLOWING Monday. If you win, you get a free drink tower and table. Forcing people to use it the following Monday is idiotic. All of us don't go out every Monday night or consecutively like that. We're creatives with lives, and I was actually going to be out of town shooting a movie the next week and couldn't be there. This particularly rubbed me the wrong way, especially because in order to win, I had to send so many people from my page to vote for me, which required them to follow the MondayNightVibes page. So I sent all that foot traffic and followers (potential new customers) their way, only to not be able to redeem the benefits of my hard work. The only one who benefitted was them. Being that so many people in town are artists, they should know many of us are working actors. I even DM'd them directly (see photos) and they wouldn't accommodate me or allow me to use my winning prize on another night that wouldn't conflict with my shoot schedule. Bad business all around that they didn't even try to make it right, and it put a sour taste in my mouth being that it was the first time I ever did karaoke without a partner, just solo. And I won. But couldn't even redeem my prize. 10 thumbs down. They also have this "arrive by 10:30pm to get in free" thing because they claim to be passionate about keeping a free option available, but they put you through hoops to get it. They make you RSVP for the free slot, but honestly the RSVPs are rarely available, and the people who take them don't even show up. Why not just acknowledge the people at the door by 10:30 regardless of RSVP, or at least let people know it's for the first 15 or so people? On AfroBeats night (Saturdays) expect to be groped. The place gets way too crowded, too hot, and I had an annoying experience of being grabbed at too many times to count. But they encourage that type of thing with how the servers are dressed, which is my final complaint. I'm not a prude. I get it. Sex sells. But over the years, the hostesses' outfits have gotten skimpier, to the point where the last time I went, some ladies didn't even have leggings. Just straight thong over ass. It's not a strip club. It's not even a hookah lounge. We get it, black spaces love to have ambiguous women to allure the men, as it's a collective preference within the community. That's all fine, but they should be pretty enough to sell the sex as is. Why is someone rubbing her bare ass on me to walk by? I didn't like that, and I feel when you're doing that in spaces that aren't sex worker spaces like strip clubs, you rub consumers the wrong way. LA is full of singles. Nobody's trying to meet a man in a club with almost naked women serving drinks and flirting with them. They're literally hugging on men and rubbing bare ass on everyone to walk by, and don't get me started on how they act when a celeb has a section. I've watched them sit on laps and let Trey Songz slap and jiggle their butts. It's just trifling to me because it's not a strip club, and frankly not the vibe of the space. To be honest the women will eventually just stop coming because we're not about to try to compete with that to maybe meet someone. Of course I always meet people because I'm attractive, but I mean in general for a party space, I believe it throws off the energy if it's not a strip club. They're literally dressed like they do lap dances with happy endings in the back. And I have seen a change in the aesthetic of men and women coming into the establishment. People just don't have time for that, and like I said earlier, it encourages a horny energy from men who start grabbing on us, the clubgoers, to continue the energy the hostesses started, and we're not on that type of time. Overall, it's a pretty cool spot with a fun reputation. I come because I enjoy doing karaoke and it kind of is ingrained into my LA experience because my friend used to take me here often. Mel & Tavares & Amber always brought a crowd, but they don't even frequent here anymore, so it just hasn't been hitting for me lately. Adding the Jamaican food vendor inside of the venue was a pretty interesting choice, as there's already barely nowhere to sit to eat in the first place, but I guess they're figuring it out. The 2 stars I'm giving them are for the good times I had in the past.

Worst experience . Don't ever come here . Went for Halloween last year , did the bottomless mimosas…read moreand everyone that did bottomless mimosas got their own bottles. Made sense since it's $30+ to do bottomless. Trust I'm from Daygo and we don't mess around with bottomless. We do it right period ! Well here today and they don't give you your bottles . Had 6 people in my party do it and we did not even get our monies worth . Told the Bottle girl and she agreed. She said the owners switched it up and now they gotta walk around and pour . Well that would work if the bottle girls paid attention to their tables ..which they did not. They all just played around the bar area . I was not happy , informed our server , she told us "oh well, sorry it ended at a certain time " so I went in saying to her it's not like their giving us expensive or middle shelf champagne . She acknowledged us , and informed us she would tell the owners . This is not the first complaint . It's high way robbery . The owners should be ashamed of themselves. Wack ass place with wack ass drinks . Our total came to: $346.85!! Don't even know how it came to that price when 3 of the people in our party ordered from the bar only . We did get food , but it was around $15 for sliders which 3 people got?!! Please read my review and stay away . Would never recommend. They will steal your money . Plus you will need to pay ahead, they won't place your drink or food order In until you pay upfront , and please ask for a receipt.,they will try not to give you one. That tells your a lot . You've been warned. They try to lure all the black people here to steal our money! FYI. Don't let them do it!. I don't mind paying whatever amount , it's unsettling when your getting ripped off . It's sad and pathetic.

This restaurant has been around for a while under different owners. The inside is kitschy but in a fun way (full-wall Russian mural!), the food is pretty good, but what I really dig is the entertainment. Very 80s-90s Russian disco.

I was accepted into Hendrick's Gin's latest event, "Hendrick's Anotherland Los Angeles", held at Serra On Vine in Hollywood. Hendrick's was my favorite gin, I was a brand ambassador for them for a brief time, and I truly loved their marketing, so I was excited to experience the promotion of their newest gin offering... Another Hendrick's. https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw&start=96&select=avJ7nfYB3W124cybxeSQTg Nestled in the vibrant heart of Hollywood, Serra On Vine was a premier luxury venue designed to transform any occasion into an unforgettable experience. From intimate cocktail receptions to grand seated dinners, we combined timeless elegance with modern amenities to suit gatherings of all sizes and styles. As part of the Bronson Hospitality family, which included Vermont Hollywood, Lombardi House, Casita Hollywood, and Studio Eleven43, each offered complementary unique characteristics and amenities to suit any occasion. Did this venue suit Hendrick's needs for any evening on Vine!? PURCHASE(S) No purchase required for this event, and they wouldn't even accept tips! EXPERIENCE An early evening of sipping samplings, munchable morsels, engaging entertainment, and scintillating sensations among strangers the only way the Hendrick's brand knew how to do. Here were some snapshots of the festivities: In true Hendrick's fashion, there were copious amounts of various cocktails to try (I drank eight different cocktails alone with extras along the way!) to promote the new creative gin offering and more. https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw&start=96&select=JPcb5q_frszW0in8sX9BXw Amazing hors d'oeuvres that paired well with each of the mini cocktails and to soak up some of the alcohol. https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw&start=96&select=5BnWwFizdYtinQPMWU-AGQ Minstrels and role-players enthralled you throughout the venue who added to the aura of the atmosphere as you mingled. https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw&start=96&select=ZM1ThF7XwWS8cbXhukis_A A Faustian fantasy mixed with Shakespeare's "A Midsummer Night's Dream" with a hint of Fitzgerald's "The Great Gatsby" was what you walked into - simply splendid! https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw&start=96&select=onqlDl6qb4096O628n29kA SERVICE The initial email invite and RSVP confirmation was easy and straightforward. Once at the event, there were lovely hostesses who checked you in, available valets, and no security. Once inside, a litany of physically-attractive bartenders and servers crafted and walked around with drinks and snacks, respectively. Generally-speaking, everything was fine and ran smoothly - perfection! PARKING (Varied; FREE this instance) I luckily found a non-timed spot on a nearby residential street less than a ten minutes' walk away. Otherwise, the specific event offered valet, timed parking along the main drag of Vine St. and nearby roads, or a rideshare service and public transportation (no nearby Metro Rail stations) - 'nuff said. ATMOSPHERE, DÉCOR, AMBIENCE Located in a once industrial loft, the space has been restored to celebrate both Hollywood's storied past and its cutting-edge energy. The building retained its original exposed brick and steel beams, then layered in custom lighting, sleek marble finishes, and handcrafted wood accents. The event's decorations gave you a dreamy state of roaming a garden that has taken over a fanciful parlor when a celebratory cast of characters appear in different corners of the purposed single-level venue as the intoxicating revelry begins with acts of announcements, elixirs, performances, and more. There were no TVs while various types of sensory attraction kept you occupied. https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw&start=72&select=DrNiiP2UGf_QruUZbcwaHw ATTIRE I was dressed in a festive aloha shirt, linen pants, and flip-flops. However, there was a mix of nicely attired to more casual threads; there wasn't any particular dress code. OVERALL Hendrick's Gin did a phenomenal job with the space provided by Serra On Vine. I had no idea this venue existed for this usage, but I was very appreciative to have been invited to this event and learned more about the facility since I worked in the live entertainment event management marketing world. I found total value based on the prices, service, and experience noted above (TOTAL paid experience was around $0.00 BEFORE any discounts and/tip). And, I had no idea whether or not they accepted my credit card of choice for renting purposes... AMEX! 5.0 STARS
