We just had a really nice dinner at a second generation family run business…read more The food, atmosphere, and service were very good. I had the prime rib. I very generous cut served with creamy horseradish. It was great. The pork chop with sautéed apples was also a winner. Edith was our server, she was efficient and the whole teamed worked together well. There is convenient valet parking behind the building for $9. I would highly recommend dinner here.

Now, I've been an avid Jazz fan for years now and have never ventured to the Dresden while living…read morein LA. I'm kicking myself because of course I fell in love with the Dresden on my short trip back. Arrived around 10:30 and this place was in full force. Beautiful people, lovely bar, and incredible music. I was lucky enough to snag a seat at the bar. Spent the entire night in complete awe of the environment! I had a great time people watching and singing along with the jazz singers and everyone else. Drinks were nice and strong too. For LA, pretty reasonable. I paid about 38 bucks for two drinks. Pretty great especially since there was no cover at the door. Loved my time here at the Dresden! I'm an LA girl through and through so I'll forever be visiting and will totally make The Dresden on my rotation of spots to listen to great music while I'm here.

Came here cause the Mainliners were playing a show for $13.50. We got here early (I had a ticket,…read moremy friend did not) and tried to get a ticket at the door for my friend so we parked in front of Los Globos and walked down to the bar. It wasn't far at all from Los Globos. We waited in line and were able to score a ticket. Inside, it's small, but I feel like it's bigger than Gold Diggers? Since we got there early, we were able to find a spot on the couch by the wall. I had a great time and met some cool people, even the band members! I didn't drink, but they did keep a fully stocked glass dispenser with ice cold water. Restroom was fine for a bar. Not too messy or dirty. Had a fun time. One of the people I met there said it's normally a gay bar, but I couldn't tell other than one rainbow fan on the wall. After the gig, a bunch of guys with leather Mongol's vests came in. All in all, great time and awesome show!

They have Grand Old Echo on Sundays for the season, billing it as country but the bands we saw were Americana, yay. Very clean place and clean bathrooms. The complaint is that we came too early-- it wasn't clear the music doesn't start till 6:30 and had no idea there were 3 bands before the advertised headliner. Still we enjoyed it all and there's a stage out on the tiny back patio for a band where ppl continued to hang. Canned beer, some liquor for drinks, soft drinks, some food like hot dog, pretzels, popcorn. If you go early, you might snag one of the comfy benches along the walls.

I don't know much about LA and I was somewhat worried if The Echo would be located in a good part…read moreof town. To my pleasant surprise, The Echo was located in an area that felt like a small town. It was bustling with concert goers who seem to be conscious of everyone's happiness and safety. The feeling of community was strong. The venue was small but comfortable. The staff were helpful. Venue doesn't have a full bar so don't expect to order specialty cocktails. Paid $500+ for this particular concert.

Small ass dance floor. Everything feels grimy AF. The right corner of the bar smells like urine…read moresince it's located next to the restrooms. I was grossed out. I attended the Disintegration new wave goth night, but the music was mostly 89's throwbacks. I just couldn't get into it. The only thing good was the Long Island Iced Tea that I ordered.

My favorite pho restaurant (Gigo) has expanded down the street with a second location, Grand Star…read moreBistro. Their pho soup is deeply meaty in flavor and I like that the spices are not overwhelming - I am not a huge fan of cinnamon or star anise. The meat in the portions are always a great value for your money. Aside from the pho, my personal favorite is their bun bo hue - another meaty flavorful soup, though this one usually includes pork blood and is spicy. Gigo also has great egg rolls, but since I eat lunch alone here a lot... I don't have room for noodles AND egg rolls, sadly. Almost every time I'm there, I get a whole fresh coconut :) they cut it open so you can drink the juices and then scoop out the coconut meat after!

Complete with the murmur of happy people and the most beautiful music you could imagine. It really was a fairy take to see the sight form that perspective. It made all the planning worth it. The Teahouse Co. was more than their webs sites and phone calls lead to believe, they were spectacular. I was continually given any information i wanted, needed, required, inquired and beyond within an amazing time frame. They were so professional, and absolutely made the atmosphere a huge success. Since being married the majority of conversations have been in regards to how people enjoyed the night. Not one person has not mentioned the music. I cant tell you how wonderful they are, and what a great decision it is to hire them if you have a need. I will be referring people every chance I can. Thanks you to everyone that made the event a success, there were a number of people that were involved in the entire process and it was truly the best experience to work with such a great Company.

If you're a fan of themed music nights, it's definitely worth checking out. A few things could make the experience even better. The seating is all wooden and pretty hard, so it isn't the most comfortable if you're planning to hang out for a while. Also, it was very warm inside. With a packed crowd and a couple of drinks, it got hot fast. I wasn't even dancing, and I was sweating! Turning up the air conditioning would make a huge difference and keep everyone much more comfortable. The drinks were good--not the best I've ever had, but definitely enjoyable. I think with a few tweaks to the cocktails and a cooler atmosphere, this place would be outstanding. One tip for first-time visitors: it's a little tricky to find if you're unfamiliar with the area. The entrance is through the alley, not directly on the main street, and it's only about the second building in. Parking can be a challenge, but that's more about the neighborhood than the venue itself. Overall, I had a really good time, loved the music and atmosphere, and I'd consider coming back. If you're looking for a unique spot with fun themed nights and good vibes, this place is definitely worth a visit.

We've come to quite a few reggae concerts here at the Echoplex…read more It's gotten better each time. So I needed to update my review. All the peps working here are super friendly and welcoming. Even the security guards are cool AF. Not like a lot of other venues where security acts like they are cops lol Not here they get you through the metal detectors pat down and look in purses to insure you don't have anything harmful. (As fast as they can) Inside is a large dance floor, two bars, and a few tables for those who don't want to stand. The bars have amazing bartenders who are super chill. The restrooms are very well maintained and have the sweetest older lady working. (Make sure yall show her some love) They also have a huge outside patio that is a smoking area. I've never seen any food here only drinks, beer, shots, and water for sale. Overall Echoplex is an awesome venue for concerts.

Not accessible AT ALL. If you enjoy a back entrance through…read morea junkies alley then by all means, you can access the bottom floor - they even have a pop up ramp for the entertainment. However, if you need a bathroom as a woman, they don't offer accessibility (I had to use the men's filthy restroom). I was considered more of a nuisance than a patron and i do not recommend this venue for people with access needs. The staff did their best but they have a long way to go.

I like to wear bright colors and dance till everything is soggy…read more I don't like to be the center of attention though - I usually dance in dark corners and can only dance if the music is good. I literally stop on the dancefloor when it is bad because I can't "fake it". I give this party 5 stars because they do a solid job of creating a party that has something for everyone. Mash-ups, dark dance floor, eccentric dancers on stage, Photobooth (with a creative and fun photographer), and good vibes. Los Angeles used to be filled with great dance parties all over the place. Now they are few and far between. Not to be a negative nancy but here are my gripes - When they are at the downtown location - it's really hard to dance on an incline. When they are at the echoplex - there is no where to put ur drink down and if u do the workers snatch it up quick. Some of the mash-ups blow. It's like everything has been done and they're just trying weird things together to be the first to put AC DC with Kanye (both really hard to dance to because I hate dancing to 80's stripper music and Kanye's music only accompanies his lyrics so it's usually not that great). Anyways - I stop and start quite a bit - but I still Love it.

This is seriously a must-try experience if you enjoy bouncing dat ass.... I had so much fun here…read morelast night. We went for my friend's birthday party and we seriously just sweated it out all night. The go-go dancers on stage were on point and fabulous af. I love the fact that you can wear whatever the hell you want to this place and there doesn't seem to be much judgment. It's a place you go to when you just want to dance and not worry about impressing other surrounding Angelenos. The mashup music room was my favorite. They play some amazing jams!!!! We went the evening of the Taylor Swift mashups. It was a great, fun experience! Oh, $10 cover charge. If you get there before 10pm (I think they open 9:30pm) then it's $5. The bouncers at the door weren't the most friendly either, but at least there wasn't a line (around 11pm).

Love this roving market!! I'm being a bit biased since I was one of the vendors for the market over…read morethe weekend but i love it because the organizer is not trying to profit off the local craftsters. Her charges are minimal to be part of the event, and she creates a positive, fun environment to sell wares in. There were some really beautiful handmade jewelry, clothes, handbags, and even handmade dolls. A DJ is also spinning some great tunes, and I can't forget the drinks....sodas...beer..and sangria... If you can, try to catch the market at one its locations in the future. Support handmade, and of course support your local craftster.
