Lodge Room - Live music venue in Los Angeles - 104 N Ave 56 2nd floor, USA

Good ambience and in a good area. It seems (not necessarily looks) like a safer and less busy version of downtown LA from what I gathered. The venue is somewhat small overall (you walk in and up the stairs and you're pretty much already inside the venue), but it's a good size for small-medium shows. Not too intimate but it's not a concert hall either. Plenty of standing area in the back with raised platforms if you're surrounded by people taller than you. It doesn't appear to get too packed either, so maneuvering in and around the venue is easy. I will warn that it gets a little warm and if you lean on the walls too long, the wall's wood finish will stick you to the wall and you'll have to peel away from the wall. Check out Ben Cahn & Emil De Rosa on PayPigsPod. That's who I went to see there and it was a tier 1 variety show.

Always a good time here!! Come to watch June Swoon on a Tuesday and it was a blast! Amazing space with beautiful design! And the drinks where fantastic!!! One of my fave venues!

What a great venue! I saw a concert there last week and it was lovely. Very chill space and great staff. I will definitely be back!

One of the best venues in LA for seeing the best indie-ish rock, hiphop rnb.. I've seen some of the my alltime favorites here, Digable Planets, Sun O, Night Beats.... too many to think of now that i try! I wish they'd put booths around or had some chillaxingplaces for us oldies who show up at doors.

An intimate venue to see bands perform. I’ve been here a few times to see some of my favorite indie artists. The entrance is a little odd as it’s located behind the building in the alley way. I love how small the place is, you can truly get very close to the performer if you wish. It’s a general admissions location, so standing room only. There are two bars; one inside the performance area and the other directly outside. The bar inside the performance area can get a little loud during, which I’ve noticed during quieter songs. So it was a little distracting and took away from the performance. If you want food you can walk across the hallway to the restaurant connected to the venue. Overall a good spot to see bands up close and personal.

This 500 person concert hall is a great place to see bands. Don't expect to sit as it is all general admission and find a spot to stand and watch. There are two bars to serve you and neither was very crowded the night we were there even though it was a sold out show. Assuming there are bands playing that we want to see, we will definitely be back to the Lodge.

Beautiful intimate theater. Wood floors and paneling on the walls, archway framing center stage. If you look up, you will see a grand chandelier candelabra display and a carved star. I wish I knew more history about this venue- it's quite beautiful. I have been to this venue twice. First was standing only for Digable Planets and then for MNDSGN "Rare Pleasures" Album Release there were luckily a few small hightop tables and tall chairs to sit on on the sides. Outside of the actual venue, there is a lobby where the restrooms are located as well as a small bar and merch set-up. Inside the venue there is a large horseshoe bar and then an open space for dancing and/or standing. I got super lucky with this group of mean girls refusing to leave the restroom that someone took me and another girl waiting in line to the upstairs restroom where the controller room was and we were aloud to hang for a bit and watch the show from an awesome slightly aerial view!!! You can see the photos that I took from up there. Amazing experience that I will never forget. Big thank you to the person who was so generous to us!

I rarely post a review, but I had such a good experience here I wanted to share! I sometimes have to use a mobility aid walker, and the folks here were very accommodating for accessibility. Not only did they have access to an elevator to get to the second floor stage, but a staff member specifically escorted me / helped clear the crowd at the end of the show so that I could maneuver through with my walker. They had the elevator waiting for me even! I greatly appreciated the extra help, and felt very welcome.
