    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.

    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!

    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!

    Stunning chandelier

    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!

There is popcorn, candy, soft drinks and also adult beverages: beer and wine. After getting my popcorn I walked into the huge theater and it was amazing. Egyptian style architecture, a huge closed red curtain that hides the screen and the seats a comfortable with ample leg room. The same employee that scanned my online ticket came to the front of the movie screen and greeted us with a warm hello, introduced the film, told us proper movie etiquette (no filming or taking pictures of the movie and to please take your trash out with you when you leave the theater) and let us know there was 15 minutes of previews including a Bugs Bunny cartoon. So cool! Will definitely come back to watch more movies here!

    My family and friends attended movie night at the Rooftop Cinema Club in DTLA for the first time…read more What an AMAZING and FUN experience. The event organizers did a FANTASTIC job, as guests were all commenting on how much fun they had all night long. Parking is available across the street in a private, fenced but unsupervised parking lot. Lighting is great, and there are numerous very bright lights throughout the lot. The venue where the movie was shown is on the fourth floor of the Level Hotel located on 9th Street and Olive Street in downtown Los Angeles. Guests are not allowed in the outdoor seating area until sixty minutes before showtime. Once upstairs, you are free to sit anywhere, as seating is first come, first served. Guests sit on very comfortable, padded Adirondack chairs that event organizers provide. The view of the screen, the sound, and the overall atmosphere are fun, relaxed, and positive. Guests are handed a headset to listen to the movie, and/or the surround sound speakers are on for those choosing not to use the headset. There is a snack bar offering hot dogs, nachos, pretzels, popcorn, ice cream, and several other snacks on one side and alcoholic beverages on the opposite side. Clean and convenient restrooms are within walking distance from the outdoor seating area. Guests as young as 16 are allowed in, and 21 and over if you plan to have an alcoholic beverage (or two). Different movies, both current and older, are shown nightly. Check their website for the exact movies shown on any given night. Several nights per week, two buffet movies are shown back-to-back. During our visit, our group of fourteen watched The Princess Bride, which was not our favorite movie; we still had a FANTASTIC time. We DEFINITELY plan to return in the very near future

    This is such a cute date night idea. There's plenty of eateries nearby to grab some dinner before…read more The cinema has some concession items like your regular candy, popcorn, nachos, and they also offer alcoholic beverages. 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.

Like this movie was so great, it has redefined what I can expect from a Marvel movie, and movies in general. But this review is not about the latest Spider Man flick, it is about Alamo Drafhouse Cinema. And I firmly believe that one of the reasons why I loved Brand New Day so much is because I saw it in Alamo Drafthouse. The movie going experienced was enhanced, dare I say even honored, by this place. And, I might be wrong, but saying that a place made a movie better, is the loudest clap a moviegoer can give to a place that plays movies for goers. I am not sure how I first heard of Alamo Drafthouse, but I selected it as the venue that will host my movie going experience because I fe;t Spider Man deserved the stage. When I got there I was surprised by one sheer fact: I have walked by this place many a time, and I never knew that it was there. Which made me realize in a much broader way that what they say about LA is true--- one will never be bored here because there is always something new to do, and if you cannot find something new, than you might not be looking hard enough. The entrance to the place that holds Alamo also had a reminder that we might all need to hear: "say whatever it is, before it is too late." I entered and the place gave me Bing Bang Theory basement vibes if Howard or Sheldon had the funds to create a luxury movie theathre in their basements. The place was replete with a lot of different posters, and toys, and other memorabilia. If one is a flick nerd, then this place will be their slice of heaven with reclining sheets. I clipped just a few pictures of the different do-thats that this place. For instance, they had a wall full of Spider Man posters. As I walked past them and into my designated theatre I felt more excited to see the motion. Also, they had this area with tables and beers on tap with the Spider Man from the 90's playing. Which makes me believe that Spider Man 97 is coming along the pike cause this cartoon is not quitting. But I thought it was such a great touch to play this cartoon because it is responsible for having so many people fall in love with the wall crawler. It was appropriate nostalgia that frame the movie. So if I have not made it clear, being in this place is a small museum that reminds us why we love movies, beyond them offering escapism when times get tough. The movie rooms were small, quaint, and comfortable. I think most people would agree that a recliner while watching a movie may not be needed, but just like fudge on ice cream, it makes the treat better in a rich kind of way. Additionally, this place offers food delivered to your chair by a server. The besides me had a whole happy hour situation going on. He ordered three margaritas, a hamburger, fries and enjoyed his time. It was all about being good and happy at the movies. This place facilitated that. I was not hungry. But I was inspired by my neighbor to order a treat---- sea salt and vinegar popcorn laced with gold fish, and it was a nice little treat. First, I never had that combination before. It was great! The goldfish cheese taste was deepened. Not in every bite but the ones that were in the bottom of the sea(bowl). The second thing that they did, that another Yelper. comment on was, they "have a no-phone policy." Meaning that when the movie started to play they encouraged us not to use our phone or we might be asked to leave. We were told we can report people on our phone using their phone. And they addressed the irony of it--- and resolved it by saying just don't be a jerk. It as like putting a pretty ribbon bow in a package that was once difficult to wrap. The movie had previews but before that they had a comedian re-cap the journey to this movie and it was funny. The comedian wondered if DR. Strange was also the type of guy that buys liquor for a minor since he did a universe altering spell for one. Then before the movie they showed a video with Holland stating that this Spider Man Movie was created for "you." And to a much lower degree, for sure, this Yelp was written for you too.
