Beautiful Old Hollywood venue. Massive dance club. Different vibes on different nights: so check who's playing or DJ'ing to make sure it fits your taste. Best staff service in Hollywood: especially the managers. Young crowd. Always fun!

As far as clubs go in Los Angeles and Hollywood area this one is not too bad. Now I will say I have only been to this club for Emo Nite which is a monthly event that is held at Avalon that plays Emo music and Emo remixes. I've probably been to about 5 Emo nites but some people try to go monthly as it is a fun event and brings all the Emo together. As far as the club the security is pretty typical. You make line on the side. The earlier you show up the shorter the line will be and less of a wait to get in there will be. They check your ID as it's 21 plus and you go through a metal detector. As long as there is no problems it's a pretty simple process. Once you walk in past the doors there is a bar outside the main club space and if you walk more inside you are inside the actual main club and there is a long bar right on the sides also. Most of the downstairs back area is tables and you won't be able to access those unless you have bottle service. The main dance floor is a decent size but does fill up pretty fast. For Emo Nite events they do typically sell out and once the show starts it can get pretty hot and crammed. Some people don't mind but if you are with people who maybe want a little more space and breathing room I would recommend to head up stair. For Emo Nite they open up the Bardot room and usually have a few bands and other artist performing and have another Dj up there. There are also multiple bars up there too so if it seems to be a long wait downstairs upstairs may be your next best option. If you want to see the main stage from upstairs there are also stadium type seats that are padded upstairs and they are all general admission. There are some tables in the very front but I have not seen them used very often and for the most part you can get lucky and stand right there in the front so it's a perfect spot to see all the action on the main stage but have space to yourself. Overall I don't mind this venue for Emo Nite. I have not been here for other events and I do see they have big name artist come but as mentioned it does get really packed downstairs for Emo Nite so I can just imagine how packed it gets when they have a big DJ perform here.

Saw Cash Cash here and had a great experience. I think they also had another little area with a different dj if you don't like the main one. I like the venue but the parking next door was pretty expensive. We ended up finding street parking maybe a 5 minute walk away

Just had an artist play here and we had such a wonderful experience with their staff. Food and drinks were sensational and we were met with a very high level of hospitality. A special thanks and shoutout to Brooklyn in hospitality for providing such a smooth and enjoyable evening, one of the best hospitality managers we have ever encountered.

Avalon Hollywood is an iconic venue with an amazing atmosphere and outstanding acoustics. The staff is friendly and professional, and the historical charm adds a unique vibe. It's the perfect place for concerts and events, definitely worth a visit. I've been to three concerts here, and each time I was thrilled that the performance was held at Avalon. Parkin is available nearby-some spots are pricey (to the right of the building), while others are more affordable (to the left). If you're attending a concert, I highly recommend reserving a cheaper spot in advance

I like Avalon because of the space. It's not like Academy or Exchange with overcrowded dance floors, which I find so annoying. I hope Avalon continues to respect their max capacity. Besides the huge dance floor, there is an upstairs balcony with wide bench seating. It's a place to cool down, but you can't smoke up there. The girls restroom is on one side, and the guys restroom is on the other side. There's a bar in the back lounge area; there are smaller bars on either side of the front dance floor. I like going to the back because there is more room and usually you can get your drink faster. Parking - Hollywood has some street parking spots. There is a lot nearby that attracts Avalon or Pantages patrons, but it can be $20-40. I would Uber. Even if you get dropped off on the other side of the street, there is a crosswalk that makes it safer. Music - It really depends on the night. I usually come here when they are hosting events. They've had events like Emo Nite, Netflix is a Joke, Taylor rave, Bollywood etc. They've had top DJs like Kaskade, Mitis, Nurko, etc. Tickets - Def buy tickets ahead if you want to go. If they happen to sell out, I think you can buy at the door (credit cards are accepted), but it'll be marked way higher.

My wife and I have been here multiple times and it's always been good vibe. Entering was quick and organized, never had any issues. They've had a lot of "themed" raves which I think was a nice experience. Hopefully that's not completely taken away with the partnership with Insomniac. Plenty of room on the dance floor along with the top floor balcony area. We've unfortunately never tried the food, but the drinks are not bad.
