This place is incredible! A friend of mine invited me to join her for Taco Tuesday, and it was one of the best nights of my life! It's an amazing atmosphere full of culture, a great DJ, and really nice people. Everyone there is so friendly and the hosts and servers really make you feel welcome. The food is out of this world! I highly recommend getting the wings. They are the best! Also the bartender makes some incredible drinks. I had a strawberry margarita that was mixed to perfection. Overall it was an amazing experience and I'm counting down the days until I can go back. And of course to get more of the great food! I highly recommend for anyone looking to have a great time on a Tuesday night or for your event space hosting needs. Such a beautiful venue altogether. Thanks for the great time Regency West! read more

I found the venue to be nice, but the interaction from the manager was very unprofessional. As an Event Planner, I would not be able to recommend this venue to my clients for that reason. read more

I would never rent this place after what we experienced there last night. The people that work there are rude and unprofessional. We try to patronize our black people and for the money they're charging they should treat people better at this place. The party was going great until we were basically told to get out yes someone got on the mic at 8:15 and said everybody had to be out of there by 8:30 when the party was supposed to end at 9:00 and they didn't say it nicely they were very rude. I know several people that have used this place in the past and they were there celebrating our mom's retirement/birthday and none of us will ever rent this place again. All that money for 4 hrs and you stop the party almost a hour before the time it supposed to be over that was some BS. Never again Regency West. read more

Traditional Leimert Park Event venue, with great traditional food, and friendly staff.

While visiting back home, I was referred to this place for Taco Tuesday. Parking across the street was FREE thank God it is not actively monitored otherwise I think the parking is suppose to charge for parking. PROS/CON: No entrance fee; Customer Service un-organized & needs training; Tacos $7 for 3 Turkey Taco's is pricey but, we're extremely good you'll want more & other food was reported by friends to be good as well Atmosphere was shockingly an O/G Old School crowd My sister & I enjoyed ourselves considering the crowd was older than we both desired but, because I ran into 3 people I knew...that made it that much more fun! read more

Do not patronize this business they have a bad attitude and we paid 2,000 for a party from 5 to 9 they came out and announced at 8:15 saying everyone has to leave now so you can clean up you try to support black people but it's bad business to do people like that. They could have let us finish the party they didn't know how long it was gonna take to clean up read more

Well Everytime I go here I party hard. It gets crowded and cocktails are nice. They have Great food vendors and music will keep you moving your body read more

Terrible customer service!!! Are children running this place? The girl on the unclear message on the answering machine and the only person I've dealt with sounds young, unprofessional and incompetent. Is she somebody's friend that sometimes answers the phone for y'all because that's what it is giving!!! This used to be a great venue! I had my 30th birthday party here about 10 years ago and I used to come to Taco Tuesday. Not anymore. I hate to even leave a bad review for a Black owned business, but I must! Answer the phone! Get an online booking system! Come into 2024! This place should never not be rented out, but it's not because people can't get a hold of whoever is in charge. Why is there no website? No Facebook page? No IG page? The only reason there are even pics of the venue on yelp is because patrons have posted them. DO BETTER!!! It's not even a sign outside with how to book, just a phone number with a FULL mailbox. This place is in need of new management and to be a CELEBRITY owned venue... y'all have the money to pay a team to do better than this!! Disappointing as heck!! And now looking for other venues to have my event. Smh. read more

Back in the day this was the spot! Today, not so much. The clientele is loud, don't wear masks (neither did the security guard). Some people seem to like the food but to me it was just ok. Part of my issue is the place isn't as clean as it should be- I expect more during a pandemic but since there's no social distancing why was I surprised? Because there's a pandemic! Otherwise, the music is way too loud and I hate to see people throwing trash on the street and behind the venue. Sadly, the best days are behind them. read more

The supposed owner of this establishment is uncouth, rude and ignorant. I have gone to Regency West as a guest for a repast and birthday parties. However today I had the most unpleasant experience as I picked up my children from a nearby children's foundation. This person was upset because I blocked a locked entryway. I was there less than 5 minutes. I told her I would move and she responded with so much vitriol, I still don't understand. She was so full of anger, I now realize something has to be wrong with her. She cussed me and my children. My children were so stunned I had to reassure them that she wouldn't hurt them. When the person who was with her said be mindful of the kids she then proceeded to say f my kids and me. She is an older black woman with big hoop earrings and anger issues. It's sad that my kids had to experience that trauma in Leimert Park what is supposed to be a safe haven for the black community in Los Angeles. I make it point to support my community especially black owned establishments but this one, I will never support and I will let everyone in my circle know how unhinged and unprofessional the management is. It's not a family or human friendly establishment. To continue to allow that type of person be a representation of your establishment is truly an irresponsible business decision. read more

22 years ago we got married and had our wedding reception at the Regency West. At first I wasn't excited to have my wedding reception at a place that seemed like a nightclub. However, Mr. Calloway and his family helped us to feel completely at home, the service was exceptional, and the day was magnificent! read more

Where do I start....I had the misfortune of visiting this establishment and was extremely unimpressed. First, they advertised a "Second Sunday Event" which was published to start at 12:00 noon, upon my arrival at 12:20noon, I was told it would not open until about 2:00pm as they were still setting up. I returned at 2:40pm and my nightmare started. First, the event was outdoors, loud music, derogatory music related to sex & women, not a place for anyone with an ounce of class as most in attendance were classless, women were dressed in inappropriate attire, way too much breast and butts was on displayed. I felt like I was at a cheap strip club. I paid for admission $20.00, $20.00 for unlimited mimosas and $25.00 for the meal. The unlimited mimosas was not served, as you had to stand in this long Bar line with every other guest, the meal options were 1. Shrimp and grits 2. Fried Chicken and waffles, 3. A vegetarian option which you found out the options once you were there. Being new to this facility I had to inquire how things worked, it was never asked or explained to you upon entry. So you used a ticket given you upon entrance to place your order after a person roaming around finally gets to you to inquirer if you'd ordered a meal, then she tells you what the meal options are. I ordered my food to go as I knew from the moment I set foot in this establishment it was not for me nor my age demographics as all of the attendees were 21 to early thirties living that life style that they do. I'd purchased my tickets online, never been here before nor would I ever come again nor would I recommend to any family or friends. My selection of Chicken Waffles took forever, it took me getting up and walking near the back door to kitchen area to make an inquiry to expediting my order so that I could excape this nightmare expeditiously. After leaving I checked my meal and found the chicken to be undercooked and inedible to eat without further cooking it, which I had to do after my 45 minutes ride back to where I live. BUYER BE WARE..NOT WORTH IT. read more

Breached our class reunion contract/reservation for October 26th, 2019 after we paid a deposit and signed a contract that noted no changes allowed and no refunds. Not to mention flyers were made and it was posted all over social media. They had the NERVE to get an attitude and tell me that their customer of many years needed the date. Tried to force us to take the following month. VERY unprofessional, rude, cold-hearted, selfish and inconsiderate! A perfect example of why it's difficult to do business with black-owned businesses. read more

Loved this place, especially Taco Tuesdays!! Drinks are a bit expensive, but hey, this is Los Angeles. Two DJ's one outside (which I didn't find until my 3rd visit) both were good, spinning different styles. The tacos were good enough but the seating inside is reserved - I managed to get a seat each time. The back yard is nice, inside it's party, party, party. Just like I like I like it. read more

Recency West is an excellent entertainment spot in the Crenshaw-Leimert Park area of Los Angeles. Mature clientele with a youthful flair for partying. Excellent venue for private parties and receptions with a stage and D.J. area. A stalked bar. Polite staff that are very attentive. Their Taco Tuesday is GREAT. read more

I enjoy the music,I enjoy myself every Tuesday turn down for what aaaaaayyyyyeeee me and my sisters cousin and friends, the best place to turn up at I love the atmosphere the crowd read more

On January 18th some friends and I went to regency west to celebrate a birthday, my friend reserved a table that she paid $100 only to be told she had to share the table with someone who got a table for free, then to make matters worse when we finally got inside she didn't even have a table even though she paid for it, and to make matters worse than that neither of the hostesses could give her any information not to mention their customer service was deplorable I will never set foot in that horrible place again read more

You have to come to taco Tuesday and see DJ Who. OMG, I will be back here next Tuesday. This is awesome. People coming together to here his mix. It is off the chain. read more

I attended a day party at this place on Sunday April 25th, 2021. Let me just say this was the most unorganized, chaotic, ratchet event/ event space I've ever attended in my life. Attending the event with friends we spent well over $300 on drinks and food alone, and initially it was a really good time until we had to use the restroom. The people that was throwing the event had well over 200 people here with only one restroom for men and one for women. We were standing in line for over 20 minutes to use the restroom until we were informed by the security guard standing at the restroom that someone pooped on the floor in the women's restroom. At this point my friends and I really had to use the restroom so we went to the front where we paid our money and asked if we could run to a near by business and come back because the restrooms weren't working. They told us no. We continued to add that we've spent $600 here between all of us getting in the building and buying food and drinks and would like to continue to spend money if we could come back in after running to use the restroom and the man at the door fixed his mouth to say that there are people here that spent more than that and that we still cannot leave. We continued to ask the people around that was working the door and one of the girls that was collecting the money with pink hair proceeded to stand up and take her shoes off as if she wanted to fight my friend. At this point it was time for us to just leave. If I could rate this place a ZERO I would. It is against health regulations to not have a working bathroom. These people throwing the event didn't care about the people that are here spending money at the event. All they wanted was a quick dollar. read more

I heard the place had awesome tacos. However, the way I was treated, was below poor customer service. I ordered tacos. The place was crowded, hot, and the music was loud. I stepped outside. I was informed that the waitress was told that I had stepped outside. Thirty minutes went by so I went inside to the kitchen. A very classless lady in a red cap was standing near the kitchen. I informed her that I ordered tacos. She asked "from whom," I told her that I didn't get the name. She shrugged her shoulders and began to ignore me. I was in shock. I had never had this happen to me. I didn't know who to talk to and could only imagine what management was like if they allow her to be so rude. I tried calling, no answer. I finally left. Why pay my hard earned dollars in my community, only to be treated like trash? I never received those tacos. No one would help me. Never again! read more

The DJ sucks I live down the street he talks over the music all the time and he keeps playing cause you love me baby by Denise William I'm sorry I've been here almost a year and he plays it like it just came out yesterday it drives me f'n nuts I can't wait until my lease is up no respect for the Neighbors at all not to mention the ignorant @$$ people that like to argue out side of the club I thought it was a nice club but I'm no longer interested in going read more

Reading some of the reviews, some people are just so sensitive! ‍ I've been the Regency on several Taco Tuesdays and it's always been a blast! Getting a drink at the bar is the usual situation at a club, you gotta hustle yourself to the bartender! The music is always always ALWAYS poppin and the tacos are made with fried flour tortilla- my preference! Food takes a minute to come out (but you are at a club, not a restaurant.) Anyway, it's a good time for a Tuesday night with the girls if you want some down to earth fun. Plus, they usually have a cigar truck to smoke and chill. Support black businesses and party with the aunties and uncles! read more

This review is for Taco Tuesday. Came here with my mom because they advertised a Prince celebration for his birthday. The music was great *DJ Paradise*. You'll only have a seat if you reserve a table or get lucky after an hour of asking different people "Is someone sitting here?" When we finally got a seat my mom placed an order. A good 45 minutes went by before we saw a server again. When we finally saw her she was serving food to other people who'd placed their orders after us. So my mom flagged down the server, who then got the person who originally took our order. She claimed to have sent our order. *A server came with some chicken for Jackie. My momma name ain't Jackie. And we'd ordered tacos and chicken.* She was adamant that she had sent that chicken to us, as she'd only heard my mom say chicken. But that's neither here nor there. She asked my mom if she wanted anything. They were out of tacos but she could maybe get us some chicken in. My mom said ok. The chicken never came. What did come, though, was more food for other people. So. Yeah. read more

Looking for a little something to do on a week night and on a budget. Taco Tuesdays at the Regency satisfied my inkling to get out with friends. There's no door cover fee and drink cost were reasonable. But they ran out of tacos . The crowd was fun. I think maybe 30+ but everyone was into grooving on the dance floor and eating up those tacos before I can try. The music was cool too. Some ol' skool R&B and Hip Hop. read more

Taco Tuesday at the Regency West on the patio is the most adult, chill spot in Los Angeles. DJ Who keeps vibe smooth and rocking. Food is delicious - 2 caterers. Best Taco Tuesday I. LA. read more

This place is in the neighborhood where I grew up. I mean, I walked past this place so many times as a child and teenager. I wonder were they getting down the whole time and I was just too young to know. Well I no longer live in Los Angeles but I came home to visit family and my cousin suggested we go here for Taco Tuesday. The tacos were delicious! I got the bean tacos since I no longer eat meat and they were so good there was no need for meat. Anyway, the drinks are reasonable on Tuesday and I only needed two to get right. The DJ did his thing and played a great selection of music for the older crowd. He also played some stuff for the young ones. Mostly there were people 30 years and older in the building. But mostly the people were 40 and older. Ok maybe 50 and older. :) Well, we all had a good time. I would go here at least two Tuesdays a month if I still lived in the city. If you do or if you are in town check it out. Make sure you get some tacos too. read more

The highly-customizable and spacious interior of The Regency West makes it a stunning event venue. I have attended every kind of event there. From receptions, to comedy shows, to dinner parties... this event space is ideal for your large function, private parties, corporate events, private showrooms, evening soirees, and much more. read more

Great fun for an old school birthday party. I think I saw one person under 35, a whole lot over 45, several who looked 65 and one who must have been 85! It's a place you can meet your friends, get on the dance floor, have a cocktail and some inexpensive eats. The DJ was entertaining and you get all of this on a Tuesday night! The crowd seems to know one another and be very sociable. But it might only work if you are from the neighborhood cause this is really a neighborhood spot. I had a lot of fun but I was only here for an hour which seemed like the right amount of time for me. read more

This taco Tuesday was lit with a older crowd but everyone was partying hard But I found a baby roach in my drink that had me gaging all night this establishment should be more thero when serving food and drinks read more

I Love the Regency West. This venue I highly recommend I had a wonderful event there and I'm hosting another event next month. I have always been handled in a very personal way. Ms. Jerry you are the greatest Ms. Jerry take her time with you and I have been there when she was very busy but she has always taken time to help and explain everything to me. That why I call this my venue. When i arrived for my event everything was set up the way I wanted it the venue is so clean and the staff that was there when I arrived was very helpful and professional. I would like to take the time to thank all hand involved with the Regency West my event was wonderful and again Ms. Jerry thank you for being so wonderful and professional. I will see you next month for another event. Thank You. Yolanda B read more

Very cool place to go when you decide to have a party or celebration, I have a recommend this place you enjoy yourself and friends and family. read more

This place is great for midweek entertainment, even more, an optimal venue for when you want to plan and arrange any formal event for family or friends. I hosted an event for several occasions and have never been disappointed in the service, decorative arrangements or outcome. Each time, my guests were comfortable and well attended. The renovated decor creates a nice ambiance and with my additional designs , of which they had no problems with, gave the perfect setting for my event. I'll definitely host other events in the future when I know need a nice venue and have recommended the venue to other friends and family when they've asked. Their "Taco Tuesday" event is big fun too!

This venue is nostalgic, most notable in the historical Leimert Park area and parking is always free. Atmosphere is warm, welcoming and cozy, the DJ hits all of the right notes and the staff serves tasty delights and drinks from the menu. Taco Tuesdays are always a special treat- crowd is everyone from mid 20s to......!! Come one, come all!!! Gave a private party with almost 200 guests- HUGE SUCCESS!!! Dr and Mrs Calloway are not only owners, they are ever present and insure every possible personal touch is given, as if it were THEIR own event. Love them for that. Always a pleasure to spend an evening at The Regency West! read more

Great time on a taco tuesday. People energetic, food was good, and the music was on point.

The venue was really nice outside but if your looking for safe Environment or your family well that's up in the air! In the lot across the street gang members hang out there and 20 guys or more jumped 3 family and pulled guns on them all starting from a minor bump to one of their vehicles but worse Regency West employers locked all family members out leaving us to whatever was to come next and I quote they said it wasn't there problem! read more

Would have given 5 stars, except for one bartender. She is a Crook. Went this past Saturday for a party. The venue & rest of the staff was great. EXCEPT, for that one bartender. Had been to the bar multiple times, always ordering the same beer. Other bartender, he giving me the same price throughout the night, $6. One time it was her, she tells me $10. What! I've been paying $6. She says, that's my price, buy it or don't. I tell her, I'll wait for him. She tells me I'm cut off. TF! Had other people go up for me the rest of the night, but, to go the guy & not her. She's pocketing the $4 plus whatever other tip she's getting. She must be making a killing on every event. STAY AWAY HER! They need to replace her. Other than her, had a great time there. read more

I was there last night and was very impressed. My girlfriends and I had a blast, just to know that there is somewhere to go that is classy but casual for the grown folks. DJ Paradise had us on our feet and the other DJ had everyone dancing all over the place. Absolutely had a great time, forgot to mention that the food and drinks are worth the reasonable price. read more

Just came from having a funeral service there. OMG the place has roaches. I will not recommend this place for anything.

Always a great time to be had at Taco Tuesday's! Lively crowds inside and outside. The patio area houses the smoking section and features Badass DJ Who - WHAT?! I highly recommend the Carne Asada Tacos or the Chicken Strips. read more
