AVALON Hollywood & Bardot

Wow! What a venue and staff! We hosted an event at the Avalon this past Friday and it truly was the best our company has ever thrown. We host a large meeting every January to kickoff the new year with our sales team and the Avalon was the perfect place and met all our needs. Mel, the events manager, was absolutely a pleasure to work with from start to finish. We had many changes and questions, some even very last minute, and Mel and her team were always quick to answer and help direct us to the best options to fit our needs. The production was amazing! Part of the package we got we were able to utilize all the screens they have and it was incredibly impressive. Their production team is top notch and also very accommodating to all our requests. The day of staff was super professional and took care of all our needs. The food was amazing and we got to meet the chef who you could tell was passionate about his craft. If you’re planning a meeting and want to wow your guests, I highly recommend the Avalon. Big thanks to Mel and her team for helping us pull off such a successful event. It will be hard to top next year and we will absolutely be back.

The visuals are cool, but the experience sucks if youre close to the DJ, as someone decided to place a bunch of lights and rigging in the way of the stage.This blocks your view of the DJ, and is a bad choice given how the lights could have been hung vertically to still provide great visuals.

Really nice venue the astatic was old timey. Its was bigger than it looks from the outside. The drink prices were reasonable I actually expected it to be more expensive. The bartenders were really nice and attentive. I would definitely recommend seeing a show there! I know Ill be going back.

Went here for Emo night and it was awesome. Many different rooms and the one big room was great to pop out and get a drink from dancing. Definitely will be going to Emo tonight again.

Ive been coming here since I was 19 & Im now 36 and manage djs. Last night 6/29 I managed Good Trouble at Avalon. Truly a wonderful experience. From entrance to the end of the night. I want to specifically thank Evan our rider & the security guard allowing people in and out of the dj booth I didnt catch his name but he wore Burberry cologne & truly a gentleman! These are the type of people that make me and other night club goers want to attend safe, happy & positive environments. Thank you 🫡

Great experience great venue. Not a huge place but was a lot of fun and every seat in the house would be considered a good seat.

1 of 3 major edm clubs for me. I really like the layout of the venue and they have a great stage set up every time. I didnt try going to the second floor so not sure if thats some sort of VIP area.The only issue I have with Avalon is that it gets real hot! Regardless, I still plan to come back and you should too. Dress appropriately for the club/heat, bring a fan, and drink plenty of water. Favorite set Ive heard here has to be Reaper, hands down.

Ok... I cant tell you that this place is something special.. it is so so and overpriced. But here is parking lot nearby, and its near my home area. VIP lounge has sticky handrails as a floor too. And $1000 for $60 champagne.. come on people)

Caught one of Netflix is a joke show here. Its a block away from the walk of fame. 5 a public parking garage near Katsuya thats a good deal

Все здорово! Я была на концерте Российской группы Сплин 11/19/2023. Было все отлично, звук хороший (я думала будет очень громко, но было идеально). К внешним каким либо факторам вопросов нет, все красиво, чисто и удобно расположено. Есть пару вопросов к органирзаторам или тому, кто отвечает за то, когда можно впускать людей. Потому что, было указано, что вход будет открыт в 7:00pm, но стали впускать гораздо позже, а на улице в тот момент был сильный ветер и людям пришлось стоять долго в очереди. Если соберетесь сюда на мероприятие и будет прохладная погода, советую одеться теплее, потому что возможно вам предстоит задержаться и постоять на улице.(Translated by Google)Everything is great! I was at the concert of the Russian group Splin on 11/19/2023. Everything was fine, the sound was good (I thought it would be very loud, but it was perfect). There are no questions about any external factors, everything is beautiful, clean and conveniently located. I have a couple of questions for the organizers or whoever is responsible for when people can be allowed in. Because it was indicated that the entrance would be open at 7:00pm, but they began to let us in much later, and there was a strong wind outside at that moment and people had to stand in line for a long time. If you are coming here for an event and the weather is cool, I advise you to dress warmly, because you may have to linger and stand outside.

Staff is always kind to me and my friends; I highly recommend this place. Just park 2 blocks down for cheaper parking; but it is nice walking out of the club, grabbing a hot dog, and right after eating it, your car is right there. Is it worth 30 bucks for parking though? Thats up to you to decide. To me, sometimes its worth it especially if youre the DD and your friends drink like mine do.

WARNING: FIND ANOTHER CLUB IF YOU EXPECT A CALM, PEACEFUL EXPERIENCE.We were deeply disappointed with our recent experience at the club. Unfortunately, we didnt even make it inside to see our favorite DJ, PvD. A discussion with security quickly escalated, and rather than resolving the issue calmly, the staff prevented my wife and me from entering.It was disheartening to see the entire staff, from management to security, handle the situation so poorly. Instead of listening to our feedback and addressing our concerns, they reacted aggressively, turning a manageable situation into a shouting match.This experience ruined our night, and we wont be returning. Its a shame that what could have been a great evening was completely spoiled by their lack of professionalism and customer service skills.

Love the space, bathrooms on both levels are nice, lots of exploration room, nice dance floor, cool VIP booths, good seating, great upper deck vibe/nosebleed seats view.I was there for a production day, not an event so my sound review wouldnt be accurate to a club night. But sounded good while I was there with 600 people. Good vibes I would think.

What and amazing venue! The acoustics were great. The architectural design a classic 1920s vibe, but also up dated with a state of the art visual and sound system.I had the opportunity to attend The Grammy Teen Concert produced BTMR ENT and RAW Nation which featured a number of upcoming talented young performers.I enjoyed all the groups, my favorite was the group Lyyonce Love the music was phenomenon as well as the dancers/choreography - Although they are just teens, they are definitely SUPERSTARS in the making.In terms of seating, there was ample seating, the bar had that classic 1920s design. Although, food is available, we did not try ordering. The facility has two Parking was good, as there is a parking lot adjacent to the building pricing is between $40 to $50 for VIPIt was a pleasure visiting the historic Hollywood Live-Music Venue.

Best sound system and amazing lighting and lasers in LA. Great crowd on the EDM nights.

First time at this venue and was kind of surprise about it because Im use to just go there after the nightclubs close and what can it be? 6 years ago since I visit that place and funny thing is first time I was sober and went there haha.However, fast to getting in and the service and bar wasnt bad.Only reason I went here was because it was my friends birthday and it was live band we checked it out.The drink was average price like most of the venues so nothing to complain about accept a great time! So you looking for chill place on a monday this is place to go but not to bring a date

Was here Saturday 2/11/23Honestly the coolest club experience Ive had. The crowd was super cool. Aside from a group of old people who kept acting like children and threw up multiple times on the floor.That aside, the layout is pretty damn cool, and so is the upstairs area.I would definitely come back here.

Very beautifull club with good Light show and screen. But It is urgent to review the sound system, a very present echo, non-existent midrange, the speakers badly positioned. Switch to a line array system and your club will be amazing.

The venue itself is legendary.All of the staff, and coordinators of the event were top notch!The audio engineers, and tech were all on their game.Bartenders were what was to be expected, and some!

The Avalon was the perfect venue for Capcom Cup IX! Leslie and the entire Avalon staff were incredibly professional and so easy to work with during our event/shoot. Highly recommend this venue if youre looking to host an eSports tournament and livestream.

Beautiful details in the building, surprisingly spacious and the staff there are very attentive and keep the areas organized and tidy. Went for an emo nite, there were 5 djs and 3 bands that’s played.

Chill club. Its pretty big. Just 1 big dance floor. The stage and lighting are awesome. Security is really nice compared to other clubs.Parking is terrible. Every weekend is a different theme. They charge $40 to park in their lot. I found a parking structure 1 block south vine for $10, just a 5 min walk.

We used this place for our event and it was fantastic. Beautiful place with three bars downstairs. Beer is fairly expensive here so keep that in mind when ordering for yourself and others. The interior is fantastic with comfortable seating in the back and an excellent stage area. It was just perfect for our event.

Went to the Daisuke party first time here! The people at the front were hella cool! 1 of the security guards was super sick too! All in all had a blast!

I recently visited for the first time for SCHOOL NIGHT, but Im looking forward to seeing more shows here!

Absolutely zero security checks at the door. I was there for the Noize MC concert and they had no metal detectors or bag checks whatsoever. People had large purses and even backpacks with them on the dance floor. Who knows what people inside had with them....

Great venue. Clean, beautiful interior. Amazing sound and lighting system. No troubles at the door to get in, and a very liberal dresscode. Crowd is relaxed and friendly. Very close to the metro as well, which is a bonus. Looking forward to going back for more shows.

I like Avalon because of the space. Its 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. Its a place to cool down, but you cant smoke up there.The girls restroom is on one side, and the guys restroom is on the other side. Theres 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. Theyve had events like Emo Nite, Netflix is a Joke, Taylor rave, Bollywood etc. Theyve 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 itll be marked way higher.

Had an amazing time with my 5 year old daughter, we were blessed to be able to attend Dhar Manns New movie premiere. The building is gorgeous, its a landmark worth stopping for... and the movie was a delight. In my daughters own words a dream come trueThank you to the cast and crew for memories thatll last a lifetime! And thank you Avalon for the gorgeous atmosphere and kind staff.

I love coming here for concerts of Ukrainian performers. Everything is organized! Bartenders are great, drinks are tasty. I recommend it.

This honestly became one of my favorite games to shoot at. Security was super respectful. And I literally had no issues. I’d definitely love to come back so if you’re a band that would like to hire me you can reach me on Instagram at:📷@Synthetic_Art or📷@Subatomic_HumanAlso, parking is a little pricey next-door but you can always find meter parking around the block. It’s Hollywood so i’d suggest to come earlier to get a great parking spot.

I’ve organized our event in Avalon and was so impressed with the management and staff! Their ability to go an extra mile to accommodate all our requests was incredible. And then the event went great, the space was clean, staff was above and beyond helpful.As the organizer and a guest - highly recommend

Venue is great except for (we went to emo nite) the sound system is muted and missing most of the mid range. Bass and treble are fine, but it ends up sounding like a bigger version of a car stereo from 1992. Really dampens the energy when your favorite bangers all sound like they’re being played through a pillow. Moved around the whole floor to see if there was a sweet spot but overall was pretty consistently bad.

Well, this one is definitely my favorite nightclub in LA. (I feel like I should mention from the very beginning, that I live in SF, and my clubbing standards are high. When in SF, make sure to check out Audio, Halcyon, 1015 Folsom, and The Midway (at least!). Now, to be honest with you, LA’s dance scene seems quite poor to me. And nevertheless...) I guess that practically all major EDM events take place here. The sound system is outstanding, and the space itself is very, very nice. If you’re really into electronic music and looking for a decent nightclub in LA, check out this one first. Also, you might find Sound on Las Palmas Ave somewhat cool, too. Both are worth visiting, and if we’re talking sound quality, you’ll enjoy them equally. However, I can say that the most interesting DJs would normally play at Avalon. Anyway, tastes differ (I’m all about progressive, minimal techno, and psytrance) so try out these two and decide for yourself... Okay, this is the most extensive review I’ve written so far so let’s wrap it up here. When I travel around the world and have just a few nights in one city, I have to rely on other people’s recommendations and reviews online, that’s why I’m so eager to help you make the right choice and be in the right place at the right time. Now, once you’ve checked out these two nightclubs, I’m pretty sure that you’ll become a regular either at Avalon or Sound. Have a GREAT night out!!!

Great live venue!

We love bringing our clients over to Avalon to support the deep house, techno, and other musical performances in the area! Thank you for creating a ‘one of a kind’ space for everyone to connect and have a good time.

Honestly cool vibe nice djs

Security was super rude!We visited concert and after finishing at 9 pm we ordered our cocktails in hall. Security started to say : go out because next guests needs to come for next party.They pushed us to go out and didn’t let us finished our drinks.Then security took my drink and threw away.I was in shock.We wanted to stay for next party but they just pushed us out!

Apparently insomniac is running the place now? Anyways, venue was great! Sound system was great. Dance floor was good, plenty of bars to get drinks. Good experience

Thay had security at the door, thay did a good job keeping everyone safe, the workers all did there part

Don’t recommend this club at all,When you get there you will see why.The crowd are different than any other club.

Went here for Emo Nite! The only complaint was that they ended the event early. The ticket says the event ends at 5 a.m., but we were ushered out at 2 pm.

I saw Chloe, from Canada performing here. It was a beautiful night! For some reason, the female bathroom attendant asked if my roommate and I were lesbian, and dating... I dont know what her concerns were, or why it mattered, but no, were both straight mothers with kids!

The venue is so much better since the COVID happened. Usually fewer people, smoother entering. Good sound, not VIP only balcony.

Good Dj and music

This venue was AMAZING. First off I went to see AleXa and I had one of the best venue experiences there with how smoothly the concert went. At first from the outside youd think the venue isnt that big inside but as soon as you enter it opens up and it definitely surprises you with how much space there is on the floor and up on the balcony. I was on the floor right next to the stage and the whole atmosphere was atomic with AleXa slaying the stage and setting it on fire with her performance and dance crew (shout out to the dancers). If your favorite artist decides to perform at the AVALON then you should definitely go because the venue wont disappoint and if youre worried about the area then dont because its pretty nice all around and I had no problems so dont worry.

The venue is cozy and very personal.They have School Night on Mondays; 21+ free b4 10pm with RSVP.You can download the NextVR App on your Oculus Go or Gear VR and view the shows from the comfort of your home if you cant make it out to the venue.

Nice music but! this placed is hacked with thiefs! We came a large group, boys and girls an 3 of us got our cellphone stolen out of our closed purse !!! such a disappointment! will never return

Incredible venue and super unique. I’ve seen so many good artists here and the staff is always friendly. It’s like a theater but you get to rave in, I love it 😆 Never had a bad experience here!

Better than Exchange & Academy LA for starters, I love that the dress code here is more lenient, and parking (when available) is located next to the venue. Entry (typically) can range from $0 (if RSVP) to $30. Multiple bars located on the first floor and the times that Ive gone the 2nd floor balcony can be accessed.The sound of the music is a lot better than other venues & clubs. You can also hear the mids rather than just loud bass. I believe they also have a bar & additional room on the 2nd floor playing random EDM. Drinks can be pricey like anywhere else in L.A., so pre-game if you can.Maybe its a contractual obligation, but I wish they would get more DJs that play at Exchange, Academy, & NovaSD. Other than that. Recommended 👍👍

I would say that its a great historic place I wont mention our company but we have had several events there and everytime Ive gone I see this little old Hispanic male drunk and nearly falling and just trying to stand still its such a shame I dont understand why he is still working there he clearly needs a A.A last time we seen him hit face first in front of his co workers and mines.

Yesterday my girlfriend and I visited this place for a concert. Its a very nice venue and the security is not as bothersome compared to many other places in Los Angeles:)

Super lovely theatre. You can order food and drinks inside and watch standup comedy. Nice settings. Btw, food aren’t overpriced.

Excellent venue for seeing bands. Very unique setup for viewing the band from all sides. The sound system always sounds so damn good here too which is huge and something I dont take for granted anymore. Theres an easy to reach bar right behind the stage and several bars. Usually a DJ in adjacent area. School Nights on Monday night have some pretty amazing bands playing for free.I think this is one of LAs best smaller venues.

I had a blast at the DM convention here! Such a great venue for the convention. The adjacent parking lot charges $40 for parking. Look for street meter parking.

AVOID. I would give it zero stars if possible. The security guys were very rude when we arrived. They were extremely racist and actually were very close to legit physical harassment. Mind you I had been there for 20 seconds. One white guy tells me that he needs me standing in a line on the other side and I just stopped for 10 seconds to look at my phone so I can call my friends and another white man comes attacking me from behind and touching me to tell me to move. I would totally complain and do a lot more but they are not worth my time any more than this review.

Amazing atmosphere, every single person I met from the crew was extremely polite and provided excellent customer service. The venue was clean.

Pretty cool venue. Nice size theater. Not too big not too small. My one gripe would be small food selection and I got VIP which was nice and rope and seats but was further back. I think I was expecting the best view in the house. All in all great venue with a great staff.The event I went for was a Bon Scott tribute. Dean Delray, Marc maron and bill burr did stand up comedy then they play Ac/dc songs. One the funnest and funniest nights I’ve had in recent memory. Although I’ve been told this venue tends to host more DJ and club type events.

Careful going to this place. The employees are all looking for ways to squeeze people for money. Not a very good thing to worry about when attempting to enjoy a fun night out.

My phone got stolen! before they have a lot of security around the dance floor, but when I need help I cant see anyone, maybe next time change to Academy LA or Exchange LA because their security are more helpful.

Avalon is my favorite hollywood venue to dance. Mainly because it has more space than other venues. Thats when all 3 floors are open though. Smaller events usually are limited to the bottom floor. Been coming here off and on for 16 years. Parking is safe and right across the street but expensive as usual.

This place was great! One of my vocal students performed there for an event called School Night and I was backstage warming him up. Security was good, the sound system was good, and the crowd was lots of fun! I will definitely recommend this place as a venue for more of my students to perform! ❤️🎶🎤

Tribute to Bon Scott was amazing! What a band what a flipping All-Star band! Oh yeah the venue was pretty much 🔥. Staff was awesome friendly . Beautiful venue absolutely gorgeous.

If youre a night owl who enjoys not only entertainment fantasy and crazy ass tuunes.. this is your spot .. fabulous events no B.S. Good times across the board..

DJ’s aren’t usually the best, nice scenery but just about it

Went for a press conference. Parking is cash only. Who carries cash nowadays. Go around the corner, $10 cheaper and they take card, tap to pay, everything.

I went to the Avalon during my west coast road trip. I called ahead to request bottle service and bottles were not overly expensive. It was definitely reasonable compared to other clubs. I received great service from management and staff. Since I was alone on my road trip, the staff and management tried their best to make me feel comfortable. I also met an aspiring actress here. Lol

Infected Mushroom xmas eve. Awesome show. Huge club. Great sound. Very strange crowd. Eighty percent Chinese. Kind of a reverse take on the Jewish Christmas tradition (more so because IM are Israeli). We were in a nich by stage right. There was a garbage can behind the proscenium. Chinese girls kept going there to throw up. Old drunk Chinese guys kept trying to break into clumps of young dancing Chinese girls to dance with them. Kind of creepy. Lots of smoking in the VIP lounges next to the dance floor. Anyway, had a great time and would go back again.

Sweet spot with many levels! great space to dance

Attended an art show at the Avalon, and I must say it was an excellent venue. I loved the tiered sections and how the entire space was split up. The facilities were super clean, and the staff was impeccable.

Absolutely LOVE this classic (and classy) venue! The layout is fantastic, the views are amazing, staff - including security - friendly and professional, the sound system is top-notch. I would have given 5 stars were it not for the super powerful and annoying-bordering-on-damaging LIGHTS BEING BLASTED into the audience/onto the floor! Club people - please stop this! Direct your lights off the floor and out of patrons eyes PLEASE. Otherwise, an amazing experience!

I went on a Saturday night for House music. There were 4 dance areas, 4 different sets of Djs. Smoking patio upstairs too. The main room has the headliners, but the openers had low energy sets, which is fine if there were no other options. However, the other 3 areas seem to be competing with each other, so they are playing high energy House & Techno and kind of hard to stay in the main room with the openers when the party is popping in the other 3 spots. Anyways, lots of options for dancing, great vibes from everyone, didnt encounter any drama. Cover was only $20 too. Will be back!!

I went here for a concert last night. The fact they kept their fog machine pumping out so much that it was hard to see the group was incredibly frustrating. The light design was also meant for a club night, not a concert. All pictures and videos turned out bad because you can barely see them through the fog.Might be good for other events, but turn that fog machine off and get a better light designer for concerts. People like to see the group clearly, not struggle to see them through a cloud.Also, the ADA accessibility definitely needs work.As much as I want to see some other groups, I can’t see myself going back here for another concert since the one last night was so dark and foggy. Just overall disappointed.

What people dont know is this is also a Venue to hold events. We have worked with them for a few years now, doing multiple big events, and we have really enjoyed the experience. The staff there is amazing! So kind and so on top of it. They will care about your event and making it a success.

Plenty of room to dance on the dance floor. Security personnel was also friendly and understanding. Overall the club was clean and nice sound system.

Came here on a Thursday to watch Neyo in concert. great clean venue. Great drinks and food too!

Nice bar and dabce floor. The second floor seating is cool.

Attended the Smith/Morrissey convention. The inside venue architecture was incredible. It has multiple bars, auditorium with cool lighting, sound and fixtures. Second level has a spot for karaoke and a room next to it for clubbing music. The decor represented a modern vibe. Stunning location.

Came here to celebrate a bday. But your tickets in advanced. It’s free before 10:30pm. Tickets online is $10.50. Link to buy tickets will be closed day of, and will cost ya $25 at the door.

Best club experience ever and they have 6 bars and quality alcohol

Staff is rude and unaccomodating. venue is small, not at all what i expected. i’m currently here at the concert i bought tickets to and there’s no organization whatsoever. will not be returning. paid $160 to have the same seats as the people that paid $50? lol what was the point then 🧐

Absolutely AMAZING atmosphere & even better people! Truly a staple of the LA night life! A true MUST VISIT for all visitors & Californians!-@billythestork

Good place to enjoy music, concerts and drinks at a good price.

I went here for an EDM concert on a Saturday night. And this place is a really big venue! Theres two parts to this venue. The upstairs has brighter lights and seems to be more of a lounge/bar area. There was a DJ there with a small dance area and some benches. Downstairs had a much bigger area with plenty of dancing space and a large stage for a DJ to play music. Its a lot darker there with fun lights.

Saw Dean Delrays Comedy Rock Show. Cool venue.

This club is cool, I have gone multiple times to this club but this last time a group of thieves stole my girls phone out of her closed (zipper) purse. The police that are on the side didn’t really didn’t react fast enough either. It was for a gasolina reggaetón theme night. Ladies be very careful, we think it was a female who stole it or a group of them and one of the police officers that night said they had taken around 20 phones. There were many girls reporting their phones were stolen around the same time as well. I don’t know if I will ever feel comfortable to go back to this club again. Maybe these thieves are targeting busy spots like this to hit as many people as they can. We will need to find a safer better managed spot to go out for a couple good drinks and dance. This used to be a good place but obviously the security team have let their guard way down.

I haven’t been at Avalon for clubbing for awhile but occasionally attend concerts at this venue. Solid place with good sound and gorgeous balconies. Staff was friendly and professional, I appreciate it a lot. Drinks are reasonably priced and well made. Good place to have a night out.

The venue is incredibly spacious. Drinks are the usual prices they would be at any other club. The employees are kind and don’t take any bs. Anyone causing issues or gets kicked out quickly.Great place to dance. Music is good and I always felt safe!

The sound and lightning is amazing. They really did a good job for Darude, the finnish DJ that played there. Will come back!

Great little venue that holds about 1200 people. Plenty of bars, great sound and some comfy seating.

Went to Bardot for some live music. Really cute intimate vibes. Can’t wait to go again.

THE AVALON HOLLYWOOD(f/k/a The Hollywood Playhouse and The Hollywood Palace)Built in 1927 in Spanish Baroque style. Designed by Architects Henry L. Gogerty and Carl Jules Weyl.

I dont remember my first time at Avalon since I was so high. For the second visit I went to ARTBAT event and it was something great. I believe they had a reconstruction and the sounds system was amazing. The dance floor is spacious and the drinks were decent.

Can someone turn on the air conditioner? Also John o Callaghan rules

Among the oldest club still around. Therefor a budget place for a table or bottle.Pro: very spacious, easy staff as long as tipsCon: Everything is not mentioned.

They get good acts if youre into EDM, tickets are either free (before 11, if you RSVP) or cheap (usually under 50). Dedicated parking lot is nice. Bathrooms are clean, and rather large. Good sound system, large stage, stage lighting and display are pretty good.The drinks are expensive for the amount you get, they serve it in flimsy plastic cups. Decent alcohol well. Not the best table service, but its okay. The floor gets really sticky. If youre going for an EDM act bring a fan it gets hot. If I could give 3.5 I would. But Ive mostly had good experiences here so I rounded up.

While other clubs in LA havent aged as well, Avalon has not changed. I remember when this place was called the Palace. Still the great club it always has been in terms of staff and cleanliness. Compared to Exchange and Academy I would say Avalon still feels the same as it did when Sander van Doorn played here in 2010. The original and first afterhours club in LA has not faded.

Real nice venue, very classy.

Nice place but on a friday night it was almost empty. Music was not good. Some locals said it used to be good but not anymore. It was ok in general. Bartenders cheers you with lots of alcohol in your drink tho thats a good plus

Place was pretty nice. Good lighting and sound. Great places to enjoy yourself. Drinks were a bit expensive (5$ water bottle) but hey so are the gas prices. Right?!. I went this past Saturday and saw Lil Jon.. definitely had fun.

First time at this place & loved it! This Venue was beautiful! I was hooked as soon as i walked in the door!

It was a fun night. The place was pretty crowded

Intriguing architecture and a classic LA venue.Not well ventilated.Good acoustics and seating/viewing.Small floor space to dance but you cant expect much more from a club.Great shows.

NYE experience was different from what I expected.  The crowd was not what I expected—people dressed in pajamas, sweat pants, and tennis shoes or crocks. The ridiculous price ($170 per head) was not worth it since it only included unlimited drinks that stopped at 2:00 am without the club advertising people about this.  The DJ Markus Schulz was excellent, and this is the reason I give it 3 stars because if it were not for his performance, I would have 1 star this place.

Very private for the VIP section with your own private bar and you get to sit and see your friends , singers , actors and Record Label Execs. Dj plays near you and what’s very awesome is that you never know who’s going to pop in….We are on the upper level stage area and there are couches very clean and round tables where Music execs or music mgmt sets up drinks and va bottles . Great VIP Parking too. Love the Red Carpet Display. Love Gasolina Party Love to see upcoming Star “LoKoVy “singer as he performs his DEMBOW Music ..

Watch out for the bartenders manipulating the tip on the check.My expectations werent high, its a Hollywood club, but even still the service was worse than expected. I left a small tip for a single drink I had. I guess the bartenders felt that committing fraud was easier than providing better service to begin with. Watch out on your credit card statement ladies and gents, theyre dishonest.

Its simple. Avalon is the best venue around here, hands down. They have the best crowd, good vibes, and the LCD installations were the best in town even almost a decade before Academy existed.

Love This Nightclub been Playing Here and Going to Shows Here For Years! Hollywood Staple

Great sound system, 5 stages for a variety of music.Decent bar prices and heavy hitting talent every weekend!

Great nightclub with state-of-the-art sound, lights, and people.

This place is a fantastic venue. It always blows me away no matter the event. Ive been a decent amount of times and I always find something new! Spacious and well organized!

Ive been here twice in the past. Its fun with freinds. Cover fee was like $20 and the outside line has a wait. Check online deals for discounted admission tickets. Just come before 12 midnight. Its open until like 5 am but they stop to sell alcoholic drinks at 2 am.The venue is very big. The big room on 1st floor has the main DJ and lights and people dancing. They also have a few rooms upstairs with an smoking lounge. DJ music. The crowd is diverse, some young teens and older adults, couples. The vibe overall is good.
