    had an excellent time at Orpheum Theatre! The service was fast and friendly, got in quickly. This place is beautiful i side and out with amazing atmosphere in the concert hall, the lounges, and the vendor spaces. There is an assortment of alcoholic and bon-alcoholic drinks, snacks, and even popcorn! I came to see The Last Dinner Party from the U.K. and they dod not disappoint! Will be back to see more live concerts at this friendly and beautiful venue. Enjoy!

    We went and saw Atsuko at the Netflix is a Joke comedy festival. Long line to get in but it moved really quickly. The security process is easy. The seats were close but not too unbearable.

    I absolutely love the long narrow lobby area of this beautiful former picture palace turned concert venue. It's so ornate yet not gaudy. And the huge vaulted ceiling really helps make the smaller space seem much larger and less cramped. The actual theatre area is small enough that it feels intimate yet large enough to accommodate a large enough crowd. I will say, however, that the seats are close to each other so if you are tall, you might find yourself camped in a bit. I am 6 feet tall and I was lucky enough to have an aisle seat so I could stretch out a bit. If I was further in to the row, I probably would've gotten uncomfortable by the end of my show. The acoustics in this theatre is really what shines. I was at a mellow rock/orchestral show and the sound so beautifully filled the venue yet the vocals came through crystal clear. I was really impressed with how balanced everything sounded. It sounded as if I was in a professional recording studio. It might be one of the best sounding venues I've been to in a long time. I have avoided going to the Orpheum for years simply because I didn't want to have to travel in from the Valley. However, now that I have come and experienced it in all its glory, I can't wait to be back. It's well worth the commute & traffic.

    Really nice venue with awesome history behind it. An employee let us ride the really cool elevator and let us explore the floors while he waited. Came for the Alessia concert and I love how they provided masks and earplugs for people to grab. Also a big fan of the food/drink selections in the Orpheus club.

    Nosebleeds. Never again

    Orpheum Theater is one of an older venue with absolutely beautiful anesthetics that we don't see in any of the new venues anymore. Detailed and artistic. I've been here for a few shows over the years. Alanis Morresette, David Foster, Josh Groban, Kelly Clarkson, etc. The theater hiding itself away in the busy streets of downtown LA is definately an historic assets to the county. It's older venues Architect is absolutely gorgeous! The sound systems was absolutely clear and great! Just try not to get nosebleeds seats. Because it's scary high and have echo. Parking is just next to the theater with barely any walking distance and the Broadway Bar right next to the theater (if available) If not, parking structures or lots are a block or two away.

    I come here for one reason and one reason ONLY- Ben Shwartz. I will try very hard not to make this about him but just the theatre. Unlike a lot of theatres, the seats are not perfectly window where you can see past the head of the person in front of you! Lots of wiggling around to see the whole thing. The bathrooms are clean and there are plenty of stalls in the female bathrooms so even though the lines get long, it goes by quickly. The theatre itself is so cute and dainty and feels like an antique building. There are few street parking along the area but what else would you expect for LA. I love the decor and the massive mirrors everywhere!

    Came here for many years and Saturday they had a play called Jason Lyric's. It's very vintage dang old but VERY kept up and modernized. They have good and alcohol at their concession stand if you want. The only think I did not like is the seating because it is very tight to get through aisle. The service was good and we asked if we bedded any help. I will continue to come here and enjoy entertainment . We park right next to the play at Joe's parking and was only $15 so it feels good for them to have convenient parking for their patrons . -Marshay D,

    Our first time at the Orpheum Theater a month ago to see They Might Be Giants was a fun, memorable experience. It's a majestic ,well preserved historical landmark. On top of that, the acoustics are amazing. The seats are relatively comfortable and staff are helpful. Highlight of the evening was seeing a They Might Be Giants 13-year-old superfan sing every lyric of old and new songs and then later jump for joy when the drummer threw her his drumsticks! If you ever get a chance to see a live concert here, I highly recommend!

    We were in attendance for the New Year's Ditta Von Teese show and this theater couldn't be more perfect. It's absolutely stunning with the high ceilings and beautiful chandeliers. We didn't order any food because of the show but the service we got from the ushers was super friendly and helpful.

    Me and a friend came here to watch Pink Sweat and Aqyila for a concert. It's definitely an older venue but the nostalgia of it all makes it feel like you're stepping back in time. We parked a couple of blocks away for about $15-20 at a parking structure. The staff was friendly and checking in and getting through security was pretty easy. We got there about 45 min early so we had time to get refreshments and use the restroom. The restrooms are older and not too many for the women's side but there is usually a line for us anyway lol. The sound quality of the show was excellent! We sat in the balcony and still had a good view of the show. I'd definitely come back here for another artist I like!

    I love this theatre. I have been going here for years to see various plays and concerts and I love it. It's a historical monument and the inside is still beautiful with a few modern seats and a bar area. The service is fantastic and the amount of food they have is decent. Drinks and snacks are average prices. Easy parking in the lot next to the rate.

    Detailed to the hilt!

    A beautiful vintage theater with great acoustics. We enjoyed the easy ticketing, smooth entry and quick bar service before the show. The seats have very little leg room, but you won't notice since the restored ceiling and chandeliers will take your breath away. If you love vintage theaters, this place must go on your list! They have striking vintage sofas, tile, a d an open Mezzanine overlook. And the show? Sublime.

    What a magical night! Four days before Christmas, my family and I were back to the Orpheum Theater to attend the concert of the talented young Italian singer Matteo Bocelli in his first USA Tour. Matteo Bocelli is the son of the famous Italian legendary tenor Andrea Bocelli. Like father like son, Matteo inherited the love of music, the talent, the angelic voice, the sense of humor and the handsomeness from the great tenor Andrea Bocelli. Sanah joined Matteo as an opener first. Sanah is a famous young Polish singer, composer, songwriter and violinist. They sang a duet together too, which was amazing. A huge shoutout to his band also because they are a very talented group. The Orpheum Theater was the perfect venue for the talented Italian singer to perform. It has a unique art deco with a classy iconic towering marquee. The theater was decorated with festive and elegant decorations for Christmas. The seats were very comfortable. The Orpheum staff were very welcoming and genuinely warm. They really were very professional and working in harmony to please the audience. The merchandise line was very fast and organized. Everything was perfect. The whole night was such a magical night to celebrate the success of Matteo Bocelli's tour.

    Tonight's entertainment!

Happy to say, virtually nothing of the classic "Egyptian themed" decor has changed. Karloff's mummy would feel right at home. Tarantino is definitely the right guy to have purchased it. Among other pluses, there's a handprint and signature gallery outside, obviously referencing The Chinese, but with a much hipper roster of honorees. Then, there's the stated mission of screening only film prints. Caught the "Kill Bill Saga" in 70mm and, a few weeks later, the return engagement of P.T. Anderson's "One Battle After Another", this time also in 70. It had originally shown there in Vistavision, the format in which it was shot.

It's now owned by Quentin Tarantino, which somehow makes perfect sense once you're there. We watched No Other Choice in 35mm, and I loved everything about the experience! The movie and the theater. While waiting for the screening to start, I read the theater's history on Wikipedia and learned the interior is Egyptian Revival-inspired, influenced by the King Tut tomb excavation in 1922 the year before the theater first opened. Once you know that, the design is even cooler. Sadly, we're all pretty numb to Egyptian tomb aesthetics now but this must've blown people's minds back then! Gorgeous, old-school, and full of character. The Vista isn't just a movie theater, it's part of the experience. Definitely not my last visit. Quick tips: - Even if you already have tickets, get there early. seating is first come, first served and the line matters - if you're seeing a foreign film with subtitles, aim for seats higher up. The subtitles sit low on the screen, and you'll be way more comfortable with a little elevation

    Felt like a VIP movie night (with one tiny wrap flaw!)…read more Let me start with a quick parking tip because it's definitely in the fine print: there's "One Garage" literally right next door that offers complimentary 3-hour parking once you get validation from iPic, the only garage to get validated! Sounds amazing... until you show up and it's already full... which was what happened. Our movie started at 6:00 PM, we arrived around 5:20 PM, and the garage was completely closed off -- they weren't letting anyone else in. Luckily, we found parking about 3 minutes away and paid around $5, which honestly wasn't too bad. We came here for the second part of our Valentine's date night and watched Wuthering Heights because hello... Margot Robbie is my favorite girl. I haven't been here in over 15 years and WOW -- I forgot how absolutely beautiful this theater is inside. The lobby is spacious, classy, and honestly feels kind of luxurious. There are pool tables, a full bar area downstairs, and spaces where you can hang out with drinks and good company before your movie. We headed straight into our theater and ordered food from our seats (also... water is complimentary, love that). We were seated in our own little pod -- super intimate with two seats, cozy setup, and yes... a blanket. It truly felt like rich people movie night. Shoutout to our server Jake, who was outstanding from start to finish. Great service, super attentive, and made the experience even better. Food-wise: The Boss Burger ($20.5) was a solid 8.5/10 -- hubby really enjoyed it. Although, there were no pickles or tomatoes in there even though it was in their menu. I ordered the Chicken Caesar Wrap ($17), and I'll be honest... it was the only downside of the night. It was a bit cold and tough, and the tortilla-to-filling ratio was a little off for me. I'd give it a 6/10. If the tortilla was a bit warmer I'd think it'll be able to hold onto the filling a bit better, but that was meh, for me. BUT the fries? Piping hot, crispy, and delicious. And Jake even brought us ranch, BBQ sauce, and extra ketchup without us having to ask twice. Overall, this was my husband's first time here, and it definitely won't be our last. We had such a great experience -- the ambience, service, and overall vibe were top-tier. Can't wait for our next cozy movie night here!

The seats were way too close together, and the person next to us had belongings spread into the shared space, making it very difficult to get in and out of our seats comfortably. Because of how uncomfortable the situation was, we decided to leave during the previews before the movie even started. We politely explained the issue to the manager and asked if we could either move to different seats -- even less expensive ones -- or receive some type of accommodation such as passes for another movie. Unfortunately, the manager refused to help in any way and would not issue a refund, exchange, or even offer courtesy tickets. For a theater that markets itself as a luxury experience and charges premium prices, I expected much better customer service. Other theaters like AMC are usually much more understanding and willing to work with customers when issues arise. Instead, we left feeling frustrated after paying for a movie we never got to watch. Sadly, this experience completely turned us off from coming back.

The DTLA skyline views are incredible--watching the sunset turn into city lights while the movie started made everything feel so romantic and magical.

Getting to the theater can be a little confusing, but they do send you instructions before your visit. BE AWARE their email says parking is right across the valet for about $10-$12. Since it was dark, I mistakenly parked at the lot next to the $10 one, and that one was $20 (ouch). Don't make that mistake. When you walk through the valet, there is someone there to tell you where to wait. The doors open about a half hour before your showing. We were a little confused because we weren't sure if someone was going to come down and get us. There was a resident that scanned us up the elevator, and there were plenty of spots to lounge outside of the cinema area. We sat in front of the concession stands, and the valet from downstairs had come up and ask us and the other two couples waiting to move to the seating area closest to the elevators. It wasn't a big deal but I thought it was weird that we had to do that. Our tickets were for the loveseat, which comes with one popcorn per person. We watched LaLa Land (in LaLa Land), which was nice because there's also a view of the buildings in downtown. Seat was comfy, but I wish there were either cup holders on the chairs or perhaps a small table in between seats for your food & drinks. I HIGHLY recommend bringing a blanket. There are other reviews that mention they have heaters, however, this was not the case during our visit. I'm thinking they probably have them for the winter, but there were no heaters present during our visit. It gets rather cold, but it feels okay if you bring a sweater and a small blanket. I loved the concept of the headphones for the movie. They were excellent quality and had great sound. You can adjust it based on your liking. Also, all the seats have a great view of the screen. It's a pricey date, but it's worth it if you're looking for something different.

The restrooms are clean and modernized. The lighting could be a bit brighter. Inside of the theaters is a fun experience.

Everything is always so well organized and it's just the cutest theater. Now the only negative for me is finding parking, but that's always an issue in this busy area of Los Feliz. My usual routine is to check for street parking, then check the tiny lot behind the theater, then I usually end up at the $8 church lot. The flip side positive of this is there are so many food and dessert places around for pre or post-show eats. I like that this theater is a bit more cozy than other locations, but honestly it's a normal size when thinking of it as a straight movie theater. I most recently saw Come See Me in The Good Light (an amazing documentary that will shift your perspective on death & grief) with a spirited Q&A with the producers Tig Notaro, Jessica Hargrave & Ryan White centering around poet Andrea Gibbons. Go watch it on AppleTV! Now I say this to emphasize that there wasn't a bad seat in the house. The movie and the Q&A after had good views & good vibes. The seats at Los Feliz Theater are wide and comfortable faux leather. This was the first time at a smaller non-chain theater I wasn't constantly shifting in my seat, as the seats were just plain comfy here though they don't recline or anything fancy like that. Concessions aren't overpriced, with many thinking the popcorn here is above average. And just $5 for a LARGE! Clean bathrooms. Friendly staff! I really like coming to Los Feliz's Vintage Cinemas and I'll be back for sure.

One of the things that made this theater special was the full-service experience. The 80s movie-themed atmosphere, extensive food and drink menu, and attentive servers made it feel like much more than a typical theater. Recently, they've switched to online ordering, and it has really changed the experience. Instead of quickly looking through a menu and placing an order with a server, you can end up spending much of the 30-minute pre-show period staring at your phone. That defeats part of the reason I come here in the first place. I've also noticed that the menu has been scaled back significantly. Some of my favorite items, including the breakfast sandwiches and other offerings, have disappeared. I used to recommend this theater not only because of its movie-loving atmosphere but also because of the quality and variety of the food. I don't come here for standard movie-theater snacks. I come for the great food, good beer and cocktails, nostalgic atmosphere, and overall experience. If the new ownership continues cutting back on what made this place unique, they risk losing loyal regulars. At that point, I might as well go to AMC if I'm just looking for typical movie-theater food. I hope management listens to customer feedback and preserves the qualities that made this theater stand out.
