Exchange LA

This place is awesome. Security is tight but still allows you to enjoy yourself. The way they had the DJ set up was nice too they had them in the middle of the venue so everyone could be close. It does get hot in there with all the bodies moving around, so if you have one, bring your fan!!. It is a pretty chill spot.

Grabbitz opened for Level Up on my bday here at the former LA Stock Exchange so I had to go and so happy I did! The architecture is so unique bc of what it was originally built for , ironically give this place a perfect show venue. Hot girls? The servers had decent to upper class buttcheeks which I enjoyed watching. The VIP room was small , but sufficient, with large windows and only stair cases for moving about the multiple floors facility.

Its a great, high ceiling venue in DTLA. I saw DJ RayRay when I went there for the first time. Drinks are expensive though.

Went there July 3. Security/bouncer standing at top of stairs next to first bar was very aggressive and rude. Other staff have been very nice in the past and let me up to VIP area before. Won’t be coming back, will go back to the academy or just festivals only instead from now on

The low end must have been maxed out because you could not hear the music at all. Subwoofers could not output a baseline or wobble because the crossover must not have been set correctly. Every bass hit sounded the same. If you care about actually hearing music do not go.The bartender was rude and gave us the smallest pour Ive ever seen.This club is a perfect example of an architect who has never been to a club designing a club.

So, I went Saturday night to this club after seeing pics on google. The club was huge and packed. It smelled really bad in the dance floor. The security was very rude. It was 30 per person to get in and they don’t allow you to re enter the club. Overall, one time was more than enough for this place.

Great sound and lights, big name DJ, good crowd. Drinks were expensive compared to Orlando but reasonable by LA standards. Surprised it closes at 3am but thats not the venues fault.

An interesting hybrid; an LA club that feels like a rave seems an appropriate description. Despite several reviews to the contrary, security (while very on top of it and thorough) was not rude or unpleasant in the least. The venue itself does NOT disappoint; gorgeously atmospheric, early 20th century architecture, lots of areas to explore, and manages to somehow give you breathing room even with a packed dancefloor. Would I go again? Yup, with the right act performing... The people my friends and I interacted with werent pretentious, and the place had a pretty open vibe, which is a definite bonus... On the flip side, however, minus a star because some of the patrons seemed less than savory and I personally would have been paranoid if I had my wallet in my back pocket (Im talking about you, girl with the obviously found or stolen device in line who asked me to help figure out its connectivity...).

If you get vip comes with 3 free alcohol drinks free water and redbull the whole night some what good view theres to many booth with security and divider tape not so fun although you can go down and upstair all you want u mite aswell by the pack for bottle service and the booth look into their website .

I went to a couple of shows here mostly techno or house music the vibes are dope , pretty cool place overall kinda crowded but worth it !!

Very nice house but!The house was very full and I couldnt move or dance. I went to watch my favorite DJ Armin and I couldnt get to the end of the concert, just sad 🥲

So much fun! Got to see AC Slater, tickets were $60 to get in without prepaying for a ticket. So worth it!

Definitely one of the better clubs I’ve been to in DTLA! DJ was good and was engaged with the crowd. Mixed drinks were just okay (felt like it was watered down) but shots were fine.

Large venue in the heart of Spring St downtown. Awesome sound and lighting system in the large main room. There are a lot of high level DJs coming through doing shows. There is a side room downstairs with good local DJs. Security is reasonably thorough but I would have expected them to enforce the upscale dresscode a little harder. A beer was not as expensive as anticipated. Good to go to if there is a big artist on. I saw MK, Camelphat and Cassian, who were all great.

We went to Exchange to celebrate a 21st birthday and it was a five star experience. Reserved a table in the mezzanine behind the stage-- great view of the dj and the entire dance floor, the VIP coordinators were extremely helpful and attentive, and the bottle service was on point. The birthday girl was thrilled with the evening, as was everyone in our party. Ive been to three shows at Exchange in the past six months and all of them rocked. Will go here again and again. Best dance music club in LA.

LA Exchange is the only reason I will come to LA. Im not a huge fan of the hustle and bustle of LA, but this club makes it all worth it. There is secured parking nearby for cheap. The ticket prices at the club are always such a great deal. Huge headliners for affordable prices, yes please. The security is respectful, the staff are friendly, ticketing and entry are easy. And best of all, you feel safe inside with your girlfriends. The sound system is incredible, the vibe is on point, and the confetti canon is brilliant. Ive really enjoyed myself at each show that Ive been to and I look forward to coming to more. Only thing I wish they had is more drum n bass

My night at exchange was nothing short of amazing! The atmosphere was electric, there was an energetic vibe that kept the energy high throughout the whole night. The DJ played an incredible mix of music. The staff was not only friendly but also efficient, ensuring that everyones needs were met promptly. I would especially like to thank Stacey. Stacey was so accommodating, so helpful and super friendly. I had so much fun, I’ll definitely be returning.

Lines were outrageous and a lot of the staff were super rude. I also felt like I was back in school with all of the rules to follow. There were a couple nice workers (you know who you are) and the effects were pretty great. I dont think Ill be coming back.

If I could give this place a zero stars I would. Some drunk girl tried fighting everyone outside including me. I defended myself and still got kicked out. I HAD LITERALLY JUST GOTTEN THERE. I was just defending myself and the security and manager kicked my whole group out and they watched everything go down.Also there’s nothing PLUR about this place. The employees are so rude and yell at everyone in line. The drinks are so over priced too. They are super strict with dress code. It’s not a fun place.

Came with friends for an event (hosted by insomniac headliner was BT) the Exchange is a nice venue. They keep their bathrooms well maintained. And they have a good set up at the door for people who pre bought tickets, guest list, etc. Their coat check and valets are efficient and courteous as well. I personally didnt buy any drinks, although my friends did and had no complaints.

I usually dont complain much but this was the worst club experience Ive had among the famous clubs in LA. Mostly because of the over over overcrowded venue and the neighborhood. I went there for Zhu with GA tickets. Ill explain more below if you like to know:1: The neighborhood was well crowded at night but sketchy. To me, it was worse than Hollywood blvd area. Parking nearby seems difficult and unsafe (even in the lots). I always prefer driving but dont bother, get an uber! The whole show I was worried about my car!2: There was a huge line with an extra step for GA tickets at 11:45. Took us around 20 mins to get in. However, The security at the entrance were nice (at least, to us). It was so crowded inside that you couldnt even step onto the dance floor. Even standing outside in a corner you could find someone pushing you trying to pass. (Ik this is common for GA but this one was the worst) Clearly, They oversell the show! Dont go there for famous headliners unless youve got VIP access (Idk about their vip quality). At least, try to get there early even if you have tickets.3: Lights were fine but the sound system was awful. Just very loud rattling bass and sharp highs with no mids. No clarity/quality/def.4: (not very important though) The clubs design is stupid and ugly. A bar is located beside the stairway causing a traffic jam! The restrooms are near the smoking area smelling bad.No idea about food and drinks, didnt try.Btw, the warmup DJ, partywithray did a great job!Hope this review helps someone!Insomniac should invest all this money from overselling their overpriced shows on building better clubs in LA

We were concerned at first about the sound system, which seemed extremely bass heavy and lacking in the higher frequencies for vocals, etc. The production team prevailed though and A&B threw down an epic set to bring in 2024. The Exchange LA staff we dealt with were all A+ and we had an amazing night. Thanks!

Had a blast here! The club upstairs is perfectly set up to be able to enjoy a show. They have a coat room which is even better! The drinks are pricey but you expect to pay that in LA clubs.

Went the other day for the first time and v much enjoyed my experience. Door guy on the way in set the tone and was super nice. That translated into the bartender being cool. Near the end of the night a worker got in with the shufflers and threw down. Then as i was leaving another worker joked with me about my shirt being off. 10/10 will be going back. Great vibes and the crew working was solid

Have been here three times since December, I absolutley love it here. Always good shows, one of the best sound systems, AC, finally experienced a show from the balcony which was great, definitely will keep coming back , always great shows.

Exchange LA can be hit or miss sometimes, but honestly, I think they have their formula down pretty well. They pat you down at security (which is comforting), and immediately upon entering you are faced with the first DJ room. Always underrated talent spinning and a good refuge from the crowds upstairs at peak hours. However, the second floor is the main draw. Stunning vaulted ceilings, very good acoustics and plenty of bartenders to satiate all needs. On nights with bigger DJs playing, this is not a club I would go to in order to find the love of your life. However, the energy is always high and they continue to bring in top-tier talent on a weekly basis. They feature all different types of electronic genres to cleanse all musical palettes. Drinks a bit overpriced but hey, what are you gonna do?

Good music with some helpful staff. I say this, specifically if you need to buy a ticket or interact with restroom attendants. My experience has been pleasant with them.This place also has a couple of rude and pretentious security members. (A lot of it gets to their head I think.)Area is a little rough so try to have situational awareness as you’re leaving the establishment.My experience of the vibe is it’s okay. People are generally nice. But there’s also a lot of “too young and too drunk” going here.Not quite what I like to experience going out but perhaps others don’t mind.Stay safe out there friends.🫶🏼

‘We went there for my friends last night in town and waited 30 mins to get a table that I already had rsvp and then took over an hr for any of the bottles we had ordered. The bottles came with less than an hr if the club closing.It was extremely disappointing! Ruined my friends last night in LA 10/10 would avoid

This is hands down my favorite place to party in Los Angeles!Exchange LA brings in the best talent in all genres of EDM. I love coming to to their drum and bass shows in particular. The venue is absolutely beautiful and the dance floor is huge and their sound system and stage our strategically placed to vibrate your socks off! The vibe is always off the charts and I have gotten to see so many great artist from Andy C, Deadmaus5, Chase and Status, and Netsky just to name but a few.I often attend with my girlfriends for a fun night out and we always feel safe here and have a blast! The staff at Exchange LA is always super friendly and helpful with any questions or concerns we have had. It is my observation that there main priority is for everyone to have a safe happy fun time! The manager Stacey is always present and willing to assist in anyway possible and his hospitality and his staffs hospitality , my friends and I will never forget. We love coming to Exchange LA and appreciate the acts they bring in and the ability to enjoy them in a safe fun environment. Thank you for all the fun memories!

If youre going alone get the general ticket, when with friends get the vip one. The place Opens at 10 pm for dj nights. VIP tickets get you 3 drinks and VIP area access. VIP area has two bars however one is deducted for bottle service tables. Dance floor has one large bar with 3 bartenders typically. Dance floor is overcrowded while VIP area is chaotic. They are Very liberal on the dress code. Drinks are not measured, so either get vodka soda or soda with some vodka. The sound and light system are one of the best in California., though the venue is lacking.

Power trip all over. No good drinks, they’ll skimp you. When you bring it up they say bye bye. All you need to knows. Exchange LA over hyped. Waste of time.Better clubs out there. It’s filled with power trip bar tenders. Better experiences out there. They are under 4 stars for a reason.

TL:DR- ZERO stars if i could.Over sold tickets lead to overcrowded venue. Horrible area, very rude staff, aggressive security harasses patrons. Overpriced watered down drinks, rip off VIP & bottle service.Two separate hard dance events one bottle service, one GA, and each time was the same unfortunately.Area can seem sketchy to some due to homeless (skid row is 2 blocks over) which you will notice standing in the long lines waiting to get inside. Dress code is complete bull, as Ive seen multiple people in workout attire and even basketball shorts. Venue is constantly oversold & over packed, no ventilation so it is hot. All of the staff are very rude, and security harasses people as well as shove & push through the crowd. VIP & bottle service are a joke as they oversell the venue and let people upstairs, which then blocks the walkway causing security to be aggressive but they are the ones who open up VIP in the first place. Security also likes to accuse sober patrons of being drunk, when I let them know I was in fact not because I dont drink at all, they did not like that and claimed I forgot I was told once when this was our first encounter. 2nd visit I had one drink and it was awful. Drinks are way overpriced and watered down, canned options are horrible as well. Bartenders refused to make a simple lime margarita and instead had a small menu to order off of. Ordered the Watermelon mojito and it tasted like fruit juice, not a hint of alcohol. Sound is also horrible, downstairs is distorted and upstairs is not loud enough. Do NOT recommend very horrible service and venue overall!!!

Had such a great time celebrating my birthday here. We were greeted and taken care of very well upon arrival and throughout the night. Our promoter, Rick set us up at table on the 2nd floor with an awesome view of the DJ. He’s great to work with because of his clear and prompt communication, and he ultimately made the whole process of reserving a table very seamless. Everyone in my party had an amazing time. Will definitely book with him in the future.

I like this place for night events.Its a rough way to the restrooms but otherwise a fun time and easy to navigate.

The bartender was rude.Bartender on the left side if youre facing the state and right side if youre standing in front of the stageThey didnt accept AMEX. I was trying to pay for my drinks, and he told me they didnt take AMEX. I asked him what else I could do, and he told me to call a friend over, or he would call security over to kick me out. I responded to him that he would call security just because I was trying to pay with AMEX. He ended up not calling them and just taking the drinks back. The whole experience was upsetting and annoying.1. I dont think bartenders should be rude if they dont accept AMEX2. Highly disappointed that a significant club doesnt accept a big company like AMEX.The only bright side was that green velvet was playing a good set.

It was great coming back to witness MAKJ play an awesone set. You can take the girl from EDM but you can never take EDM away from the girl.

Worst nightclub in all of LA!!!! They screw so many people over who attend their shows! I RSVPD for a show that was free before 11, the security and the Venue were super unorganized which caused the line for the show to stretch around the block, instead of just having everyone scan the barcode on their phone they said you need a tiny purple ticket which was not mentioned or addressed by the venue, also the venue/show opened up at 10 p.m but they didnt start moving the line until exactly 11, making everyone who RSVP PAY 20$! At the door! This Venue literally SCAMMED HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE by doing this! I lost all my respect for this nightclub after that dirty lame move on their end! This never happens at The Academy LA thats probably why their the better club to begin with.

Above & Beyond was beyond spectacular; no complaints whatsoever! (A little snaffu occurred in getting the chain to which my keys were attached back to me - as it was taken by security - but it was found!)

I have gone for many events and so far horrible experience. The house is packed and they should Just have a limit on how many people are there. The venue is very small for the huge artist that perform there I think they should just stop having events there and look forward upgrading the venue.

I have loved EDM, Trance, and Techno since the beginning. Remembering when CD first came out and cost anywhere from 20 to 65 dollars and up per disc. I have not gone to the Exchange LA yet but would love too. I am senior citizens, is it okay to go there?

This club and the staff are absolute garbage, don’t wast your money on tickets in advance because the unprofessional, overly aggressive guards could easily ruin your night. They claimed someone in our party was not the person in their license photo and confiscated the license then when he realized he was wrong he handed back her Id and said none of us from our group were allowed in. They essentially just kept over $200 in entrance and valet fees and decided to simply not let us in with no refund. I didnt know it was a crime to age and gain weight. Mind you they immediately got aggressive at the simple fact that they were proven wrong and decided to not let us in.

The staff is ridiculously rude AF. ESPECIALLY THE SECURITY. Edm events are suppose to receive guest with kindness. These people don’t know how to receive guest. They are pushy, rude, and even laugh at your face. BOTH TIMES I’ve been here, I’ve noticed such rudeness and unprofessionalism. Don’t even bother trying to vote them into top 10 clubs in LA. They honestly don’t deserve it.Don’t spend your money here.

Ive attended at this venue three times now, and I admit that its not the best night club, for raves, house music, or any other genre of music that gets you pumped, but its not the worst. The assorted lights with the trendy music is alright, and every once In a while the DJs plays a track thats talented. But truthfully Ive attend better clubs similar to this one in San Diego. Go L.A.

One of the worst club experiences since the last time I was here. We were handing security our ID cards while the security supervisor pushed us aside trying to pass through. Without even saying anything back to us as VIP customers that pay a lot for drinks. This will be the last time we support a club that has rude atmosphere and attitude towards their customers. This will probably be another one of those clubs that end up getting closed down in the future due to terrible staff.

Its the worst nightclub ever. When I went there, I was charged $120 for just two Red Bull vodkas. Its a terrible nightclub that resorts to scam-like practices when they realize their customers are drunk.

Likely the best run club I have visited in some time. Given the number of people, trash and bottles policed well, restrooms maintained, charismatic staff (well the guys at the door have to project some degree of no-nonsense) but the bar staff and table staff all excellent. And the venue itself dazzles, stupendous sound and lights. It is moderately pricey but worth every dollar for special occasions for a night out in downtown LA.And the two times I have visited, loved the crowd mix. I did not see one over served our obnoxious patron, great range of ages. Everyone having a great time.

Exchange LA, formerly the Los Angeles Stock Exchange is a great venue in the heart of Downtown Los Angeles that is also available to rent for personal or cooperate events. It consists of a four story venue with multiple rooms that include seven full service bars, a large dance/event room, a VIP room with a great view, and intricate hallways accommodating up to 1500 guests. I have been coming here for several years to experience live DJs and some high-end events and every time Ive had a great time. They cater to a lot of different music genres and are very culturally diverse. The bouncers outside can be a bit intimidating but they are very nice and welcoming once you are greeted in. Dress code here is considered up-scale on most nights. I would recommend Exchange LA whether for a party night or personal event.

The shows are always good but be prepared to meet the rudest and most incompetent security guards you probably will ever encounter. They are aggressive and will provoke you to try to argue, but won’t even give you the chance to respond or ask what the issue is because they will not let you in if they get triggered. It’s actually kind of baffling how many negative reviews this place has due to their staff, but Exchange refuses to do anything to fix it.

I have hypertension and kidney failure problems, and I wasnt feeling okay. Thankfully, Art helped me through the process through my health condions. Very good, nightclub. thank you! 😊

Recently was at Exchange for Midnight T 7.7.23. One of the best shows I’ve seen in a while. The opening acts were 🔥🔥🔥.S/o to Operations Manager Stacey for being an awesome person.

If I could do 0 stars I would. From the entrance and the horrible service they have this places makes you don’t want to go inside anymore even iF you were willing to pay an $80 ticket. Then seeing how poorly they treat their employees and how employees feel entitled to treat customers poorly too was the most gross experience honestly. In this place they discriminate and they don’t even have idea of what they are doing. I don’t understand how they bring underground techno djs to a place with such an elitist concept where nobody could feel free, save and respected as the concept of techno is supposed to be. Such poor short place.

This place used to be great but it is not fun coming here anymore. The security holds the line for so long all while being super rude. Bartenders, restroom attendants, and the overall staff all have some type of attitude. They also crowd the place packed full and oversell on tickets so you can’t move through the building at all. It’s so wild how much this place has changed when it used to be so great. Smh

When you go up the stairs, there’s a bar table with three bartenders. The tall bartender lady with curly hair is extremely rude and ruined the mood for what my friends and I went for a good time. We asked for a round of shots and she gave attitude and wasn’t really friendly. Because of this, I decided not to tip her. When she saw that I didn’t tip, she then says “thanks for not tipping.”The reason to tip is because of good service, and she did not provide that. This entitlement is a reason I would avoid this club, and if not then I would definitely avoid the bar table at the entrance.

Least favorite venue in LA but all the big and small djs come here. I don’t like the layout. Expect sticky floors. Also ask the bartender what their charging. I spent $100 on two drinks I didn’t even like, I never expected it to be that expensive

Lots of great fun. Went for a EDM concert but They always have fun events and a great venue to have fun at. The drinks at the bar are a bit on the expensive side so I would recommend preparing ahead of time if you are on a budget.

I went to this place with my id of my country and the security that had blond hair took it and threw it away stating it was fake . I tried to talk to the manager but they treated me in the worst way , taking me out and saying to call the police when they got my id and threw it away . I wanted to put a claim but since they are a group between guards and kept the problems to themselves , they didn’t want to resolve it . I had to leave and lost my id and they are a place that doesn’t deserve any stars because no one can be treated that way , because it’s a different id that’s not from California. I’m truly disappointing and angry at the fact that they didn’t respect my ethnicity and where I came from and destroyed my identification which they had to right to do . Do not go here if you are from another country as they will say your ID is false and will throw it away . This deserves 0 stars , on the staff and on the place , absolutely unacceptable.

I cant express how disappointed I was with the DJ they hired for a private event on 8/7/23. She played music that was too slow to dance to for the first 1:15, then played one good dance song before literally bringing the dance floor to a halt by going back to her bad slow mixes. I mean who mixes I Like to Move It into You Shook Me All Night Long? They arent even the same genre.

If you can get past the security in front it is a good venue. They can kick you out for any reason they see fit. Been to the venue multiple times but I have always been met with rudeness from security staff. I was turned away even after thry was suggested I upgrade to VIP to secure entry. Our group complied with their wait time twice leading to a delay of 2 hours after we arrived at 10pm. Would not recommend until yjry obtain new front working staff

I typically dont like leaving negative reviews but this was the first time Ive ever really felt the need to. I just saw Phaseone which is modern dubstep artist thats heavily influenced by metalcore and went expecting to have a really fun time, mosh, headbang and make friends. Apparently moshing isnt allowed at this venue which okay cool thats fine, I get it, but you really shouldnt book an artist thats clearly going to have a lot of moshing going on. I still would have had a good time anyways but one of the security guards was being way too much. He would get to the point of putting people in a headlock and it wasnt anybody that was actually posing a threat to the crowd. He honestly made me feel unsafe and concerned for the people around me to the point that I felt it necessary to keep an eye on him. To the other security guards, thank you for what you do, you guys seemed chill enough, just doing your jobs. That one guy though, seriously need to chill out. Not sure Ill ever come back again

I went for Kai Wachi and they clearly were NOT prepared for the amount of people who showed up. they had us lined up for blocks and did not have the amount of security necessary to put us out on the street like that. we were being harassed by the homeless people and pick pocketers because there were large sections of the line entirely unguarded. imagine how scary that is for people huddling in rave clothes and likely not sober. it truly felt like exchange did not care about our wellbeing. if you’re going to have a club in the middle of downtown you NEED to hire enough security to protect your customers from the craziness! seriously. that being said, the venue is great once you’re inside. and dear god !!THANK YOU!! for not using Liquid Death water. all my stars are dedicated to having real water bottles and not that bs brand.

Saw mice inside the venue, the smoking section leads you to a dirty dtla alley with sewer water and roaches, front check-in staff and security confiscate items and keep them for themselves- they act way too egostistical and rude. The venue is not ADA accessible (no elevators). Really do not recommend going here ever.

I have 1 thing to say about the Exchange, she messy honey, she real messy. The club wasnt as upscale as it was advertised. The bars looked like painted pressboard. Theres no seating, not even at the bar. I guess youd have to pay but on the ticket sale site that isnt even explained. I thought it was a normal club where even if theres a live band there are seats. The sound system was bizarre, loud yet muffled. The guests and staff are sloppy leaving empty water bottles and spilled drinks everywhere. I dont think Ill visit it again.

Hot, HUMID, and musty. Feels small inside. Shows are late at night, lots of sketchy people out in the streets be very careful. Id recommend staying sober as well because the environment inside does not feel safe either. It feels kinda like a sketchy house party in there. If youre into that then this is perfect for you.

The Security Staff are straight up ninjas!! They do everything low-key and you would never notice unless you pay attention!! Theyre all hardworking individuals and they do a great job!

Came here because I wanted to explore different clubs in LA since LA hosts a number of EDM events which Im a big fan of. Before this Ive previously went to Sound and The AvalonI felt like a Jabroni waiting in line for almost half an hour, Paid $40 to get in then security all of a sudden enforces a dress code. Would not let me in because I was wearing a baseball hat. (That was a dealbreaker for me) I will say though alot of beautiful girls waiting to get in thats why I rated it 2 stars. All in all I would still reccomend but I would never comeback here.

Do not go here. Ive been living in LA for years, and to date, this is the absolute worst club Ive ever been to. Someone stole my wallet within 20 minutes of getting to the club, and when I spoke to security, they accused me of being too drunk. Below average safety. Below average security. Below average crowd, they let thieves in there.

This is a club, not a venue. certainly draws a crowd, but if I can hear the conversation behind me at a dub step show right underneath the speakers, then the bass is not at a respectable level. So again, for anyone wanting to see a bass heavy show here, best not. 2 stars for awesome light show... but I didn’t come here for the the lights, Came for the music.

The inside of the venue has very interesting architecture design as it used to be the old LA stock exchange building. The visuals are decent, but are the average LED displays and other lights you would expect from any other club, but no special 3D mapping or anything else that would blow you away. The sound quality isnt amazing, but it still sounds pretty good compared to some of the other nightclubs in the area. Drink prices are typical for a LA club.

Wasnt allowed in do to misunderstanding when it came to my wifes ID... the man who informed us that we couldnt get in was a prick for no reason... mistreating people for no apparent reason is a big con to stay away from this place

I am a fan of many artists who play at this venue and the visuals are top notch, however I have had multiple issues with the incredibly rude staff at this club. Misdirection with which line to stand in for entry (and then forced to change lines after making it all the way to the front due to their own misdirection, and I made sure to confirm multiple times). I had a previous issue where I set my drink down on the counter and it was thrown about by staff right behind my back and they refused to replace it. The “hosts” and “promoters” at the front are absolutely rude and ungrateful for the business they receive and I have not once heard a “Thank you for coming” or “have a good night” when leaving the place. The volume is also excessively loud compared to any other club I’ve been to. I have not had any of these issues when attending any of the other local nightclubs and they are all grateful for my business.

Been going to Exchange for 6-8 years, mostly for Insomniac EDM contracted events. A shot of garbage cheap vodka is $14. They dont run their Air Conditioning. Their sound system is great. I think thats all I need to say lol.

Decent venue for a music event. Wish it was a little bigger. The dance floor was so packed, you are literally getting constantly pushed. Great visuals for the event though. Parking was whatever. Fair warning, there seems to be people in front of the parking near the venue swindling people of their money. They say they work for the parking lot and ask for cash. Pay at the station

Exchange LA is one of the better clubs in LA. Although it still has some of the pretentiousness of most LA clubs, the space itself is beautiful and spacious and the architecture itself is pretty cool.One note, try to come early if youre on a guestlist for a main DJ. 30 minutes usually doesnt cut it (we didnt get into an Arty event until an hour and a half wait) although females, like most clubs, will get the better deals than guys.The main dance floor is bigger than most LA club venues with enough space to move around and not feel squished and the lighting not feeling too dark. The music is loud and popping with an upper VIP area that is easy to access and still see the main act. Drinks are fairly normally prices (+$10 for most drinks). Parking-wise, aim for the lots on adjacent streets for about $5-$10 parking on regular nights.

Sound system can be a lot better and the light effects should have more, needs lasers, more strobe lights etc. Overall good location with parking available for a small amount.

They pack this place too much and you can’t move around let alone enjoy yourself. There is one restroom with only two stalls and you lucky to get into one after an hour. Cooke venue but not enough room or amenities for the amount of people they pack in there. Definitely need to lower capacity if they want to make it enjoyable at all.

This place gets way too packed over capacity, to the point you can’t even dance. I’ve been to many raves/festivals where attendance is by the thousands and have never had this issue. It’s a safety hazard. Great artist play here but they need to regulate the amount of people entering the venue.

Not a first time happened to me and my group, but keep in mind for free tickets they will ensure to hold the line and not let people in to make sure that is passes the free time time frame and then make you pay because you are trying to get in a minute or two late for free entrance. Typical tactic.

A staple in LA nightlife and one of the greatest music experiences! GO lady, GO LIVE YOUR BEST LIFE! Thank you to the sexy, friendly staff that showed me so much love. GOOO!

Minus one start for that one time the bartenders refused to make me a drink. It was after I had one AMF so maybe that was why? Maybe they were being cautious in case I could have blacked out there?Nonetheless, I love the great lineups theyve had in the past few months. Been on guest list almost all the time, too. They really have some great, reliable promoters. I love how big the area is. The smoking area can be a little small and awkward, but at times you will find some interesting people to talk to.

So my group and I decided to follow the great DJ Kaskade on his tour weekend in LA. EXchangeLA is a massive venue with a warm and Downtown vibe. The artwork and magnificent marble walls up the staircase leading into the castle with 80 ft ceilings beautifully architected in the main room. Lasers and flawless sound pumping from Funktion one speakers give you the feel of space travel and a thunderstorm of energy traveling through your ears and body. The set of DJ Kaskades was remarkable as expected. We had plenty of fantastic drinks from our two bartenders Christopher and Stephanie. Then when the night was over some generous people invited us to their table to help finish their Vodka bottles. Great night full of wonderful memories. Will be back again for sure to dance and party.

You would expect the best club in LA, according to the horrific personnel a the entrance, to have better educated, polite and cordial staff. This is by far, a very unwelcoming place, which unless an absolute Major dj would play, I would never, ever, consider going back to this un-classy, unfriendly, overated place. My goodness, with so many great options, Exchange LA occupies the last place. we left and hada blast at Sound in Hollywood. By the way, the only reason I went last night to Exchange was Cosmic gate.

Sound and setup upstairs is good, however drinks are overpriced and staff is insanely inexperienced. Slapping me on the shoulder to tell me last call which to them apparently means chug the current drink you have in your hand.

Nice CLUB, but not the place to be for bass shows. Even right next to the speakers the bass is not strong enough. When they push the speaker for drops, it will get quieter. Highs are nice because they have funktion ones, but thats it.I will not be back. My sub at home is better

This is a wonderful nightclub with an active social media presence and responsive staff. They host events for various occasions and can accommodate a large amount of people. There are two floors and a loft that is above the third floor. On the second floor there is a large LED screen and DJ booth. It is always exciting to go there to party.

So its been awhile since Ive attended this club and I came for the Duke Dumont set. I purchased a VIP ticket which included my entrance, access to all floors, 3 premium cocktails and unlimited water and red bulls until 2 a.m. which I figured was a good deal. When I arrived the first room near the entrance was cool, we grabbed our drinks and water there. When we went to the main floor the bartenders would not give us water and said we had to go to upstairs VIP to get water which was weird considering the first room served us.We get upstairs and they seriously sold so many VIP entrances it definitely did not feel like VIP. it was cramped like the GA floor, we were getting yelled at by security to clear a walk way when we were waiting for drinks and nowhere else to stand. We got to hang in a booth for a min until someone bought it and when it was purchased, this older lady came in and yelled at us saying you guys need to get out now! Cmon, lets go, right now and my friend was looking for her jacket and as she was looking this rude older woman yelled at her and said you need to go!even after my friend said she was leaving but was just looking for her jacket, and the older woman said I dont care this booth had hern sold! I told her she didnt need to be so rude that were not stalling, were collecting our stuff and if shed be more helpful I stead of being rude she could shine a light and help the process. She looked tired, over worked and miserable so maybe she took it out on us. Anyway I was disappointed on how crowded they allowed the VIP area to be considering I paid over 100 bucks for my wristband. Which i would never do for a downtown night club. I couldnt even really see Duke dumont , of course i enjoyed his music but i think VIP experiences should be for people who are genuinely there for the artist and the want to enjoy the experience, but this place is clearly money hungry cause they waaaayyy over packed the place. We eventually found our way to Tue 4th floor and it was much more pleasant. But I really doubt I will come here again for another big headliner. Glad I got to hear Duke Dumont though.

We love VIP here! Elise (sp?) was a great BT tonight. Unfortunately, now theres an automatic 20% grat on drinks and 2am last call is actually 1:50am. Meh.

Venue was presented as an upscale LA nightclub but was t-shirts and hats everywhere. Not what I was expecting or anything like their website had listed under venue policies. Beautiful building and the main stage area was spectacular and sounds great.

Ive been here too many times to count or remember in the last 15+ years and its never been a bad time. And this place hosts tons of good jungle and drum and bass.

Love the artist that play there, nice interior. Very rude security. Security thought my friend was drunk when she was actually our DD lol. One security guy told us to take a lap but we went to the other line and the other security guy let us in.

Very small. The staff was pretty cool. I saw Armin Van Buuren there and it was way too packed for that big of a dj. All in all I still had a good time.

One of my favorite LA clubs. Nice amount of dancing room, drinks arent too pricey for a club...always prefer to get bottle service here so we have private space to dance. Killer lineups.

We love it here !!! On Sundays am with Fearless LA church .

Awesome club with a spacious dancefloor, high quality sound system, friendly staff- both bouncers and bartenders. Good crowd, wish the clubs here didn’t close so early though!

I like the venue and security seems good. Went for a rock concert. This venue might better off for a night club type music as it feels the live music bounces around way too much (room acoustics). I dont know, maybe its a bad sound engineering or I was standing in a bad spot for the speakers.

I love this place. Sound is great and its HUGE so theres room to get crazy with my dance moves. Only reason they arent 5 stars for me is cuz the staff are all kinda dickish.. but whatever! Whenever an artist I like is here I try my best to make it out there always have a fantastic time.

I went here to see Late Night Alumni and BT. The venue itself isnt very large but what I did love was the sound system they have. It is AMAZING! Well sounds amazing as long as whomever is performing regulates the volume well. The performances were great. I didnt like that drinks were extremely expensive, as so is the water. The sounds system they have really adds an extra oomph to the music. The only time I had a complaint about the system wasnt even the venue itself but the performer. I believe it was Myon performing. The guy was a bit of a douche, he turned the volume all the way up to the point that my ears hurt really bad. Its like he was so cocky about his music he turned it up twice as much. I had to leave the room and go into the other room they had to give my ears a break. So did alot of other people. It still sounded loud being in the next room over. Had to get toilet paper to put in my ears. The guy also started replaying songs that the other band had played. His performance was really stupid. So if you go watch him.. beware. Other than that. Its a great place and prices in ticketing are fairly decent.

Bouncers are really shady, they mentioned $20 for women but really charge $30 for all. Not consistent with their cover charge, be aware of the cost. Place stop serving alcohol at 2am. They force you to finish your beverage around 2am, even though you bought it and its expensive!! They advertise closing time at 3am bit really close around 230am. Place is okay, would not recommend.

I drive from San Diego to get a good show!! Venue is enormous!! and the stage area is big enough for all to see. If you dont feel being floor level there is a little room up stairs between the VIPs! bars at every corner. Awesome! i believe its 18+ but the demographic is wide range and all races!! never disappoints!

I usually have a good time here but omg the drinks are ridiculously priced..$15 for a TINY vodka red bull that tasted like straight redbull and $7 for a small water bottle? Smoking area is insanely small and be careful you dont get burnt by somebodys cigarette because youre all standing so close to each other and the bathroom being downstairs kind of sucks too. Thankfully I havent had an issue with security but Ive heard horror stories.

Great venue for EDM. It has 3 floors: bottom floor with entrance and small room for smaller DJs (up-and-coming), upper floor which hosts the main stage, floor tables, and the main event, 3rd floor that is reserved for the VIP area tables. Its a fairly clean venue that is laid out nicely. Pretty pricey to enter if you do not know the right people, but you pay for the well-known DJs. Very fun and a nice place to go if you are looking to rage. Every time I have gone, I have not been disappointed.

Hi !!! My husband and I traveled from Colorado to LA to see Joseph and the guys from the front door didn’t let we go inside. We expended $180 with the tickets plus flight and hotel and we couldn’t enjoyed the night. That it is so frustrated.

One of the largest night clubs in LA. The site of the former LA Stock Exchange. Main room is the old stock exchange trading floor. Historic building, super cool vibe. LOT OF ASIANS, whether thats good or bad is up to you to decide. Great sound system by Funktion-One audio. Expect to pay $13 for a well drink, standard LA music venue / club price.

One of my favorite nightlife spots in DTLA and a must see for any EDM fan. Been to several shows here as they always attract some of the top DJ talent. It does have a propensity to get packed sometimes if a big name is playing so I would recommend VIP admission on those nights to get balcony access. Speaker system is top notch which is a bass lovers delight. The crowd is always a good mix and good vibes all around.

The security here suck, after I lost my keys they didnt let me back inside to get them I had a tracker. Please rate this a 1 star they dont deserve a 2 and up . Fat security guard should be fired for this and being unreasonable.

I came here for a rave - pretty fun! The club didnt get super packed where you felt like youre suffocating (which is nice change for once). I would probably go again if I visited LA and went clubbing. Pretty crowd!

I just got back from there. The worst $40 I have spent in LA.1. Full of men and Asians2. The first vodka I ordered was $12 and then I ordered the same vodka with $173. No dancers4. Unfriendly stuff5. The Djs are bad except the one who came from 12:20 until 2 I think.

Impossible to get a hold of *anyone* at this place to ask a simple question. Ridiculous.Edit: and when I finally DID get a hold of someone, he couldn’t even tell me when the first act of the night would go on. This place is a *joke*

Probably the best club in LA for an edm event. Although sound and visuals got an update, the space overall is still cramped. I would recommend going around 10:30 to 11 if you dont want to stand in line for long and make it in to catch the main act before they go on.

Sound system is on point here. The crowd is not as sceney and pretentious as Hollywood clubs but depends on the DJ performing that night. Typically gets very crowded on upstairs main dance floor and can have long lines to get in. Try to get here around 10-1030 PM before long lines start to form outside. Can print tix at home or show on your phone. Bouncers search and pat down everyone before coming in. Drinks are moderately pricey here.

Cool venue. Good sound - 360° Funktion Ones. Cool production, high ceilings. Its a neat spot for sure

Go to Exchange LA nightclub only if u want to rupture your eardrums! Terribly loud sound…

I so badly want to love this place but the customer service sucks!!Pros:Great house & techno deejays!Hard wood floors!Girls free before 11 on guest list...Nice bathroom attendant.Cons:Long line for pre sale & guest list.Drinks are ridiculously over priced!!Bathroom downstairs & club upstairs.No cell service easy to loose friends.Bartenders & door staff is rude.Nothing gets by the supper power security team!No ins & outs!No bar snacks...

Buyer beware! If you buy your tickets in advance you may get denied entrance for looking like youre intoxicated. The bouncers are super rude and lost my drivers license and of course theres no refunds. Place was a joke I have never had this problem before...if Im ever In la Ill probably just check out a different club

Great club. awesome atmosphere. pricy on drinks but what do you expect from a nightclub in the middle of DTLA? otherwise, the staff inside is friendly and the security are also fair. lines do move a little slow on busy nights but overall always a good night here

Tommy Trash was amazing and the place was electric!

I got bottle service here for a party of 7. When I arrived they were trying to give me a table for a party of 4. And insisted I pay for a party of 7. This meant I paid $700 but 4 of my friends would be able to sit and not the rest. When i discussed this with the manager. He decided he would yell at me and tell me its too bad. And that even if I leave he is going to charge me $200. Im a avid google reviewer and almost all my reviewes are positive. Oh yes I also forgot to mention the crack heads in front of the venue!!!! Get better security!

Amazing sound, beautiful venue, world class DJs, and great bartenders. Nothing more to say. Best club in LA imo.

It’s hella crowded and if you don’t get there before early then you are going to absolutely love trying to take videos and pictures of ATB and Morgan Page from the back while everyone on E is bumping and grinding and jumping all up into and onto you. Honestly, I love the artists who play here- they are incredible and that’s why I still will go, but it annoys me every single time.

This place had good music and it jt was really nice at first, brought up to the bottle service, line was a bit long even for bottles. Later that night when it started getting crowded, me and my friend who had both a few bottles were getting annoyed by a few kids pushing into our VIP area, after a good 45 mins of this back and forth, the bouncer finally came, and in the end he wad helpful for about 10 mins until he left and never came back. granted we were on the first floor where the music was playing and not on the second floor where is was bottle service entry only, but the fact that I specifically told them the people who were causing trouble and they refused to remove them, keep the space sucure for us, or even keep a bouncer in the area to make sure we had the space we paid for was far beyond disappointing. Will not be coming here again

They scammed us out of $200. We were a group of 9 and the let 6 of us in. Supposedly the last 3 were drunk so they denied them entry. It was a scam to get my group to leave since we couldnt all get in. When we asked for a refund they said it was out of their hands. None of us were drinking. It was the first stop of the night. Thanks for ruining the experience of 9 paying customers. If I could rate 0 stars I would

I was able to get in without waiting too long, the place is very clean, sound was good. Although I ended up getting sick from drinking a bit much the security helped me out, gave me water and a place to wait for my friends after throwing up. Very kind and helpful!

It was a quiet trance show, but we got VIP and it was so worth it. We got the balcony, private bar and bathrooms, and 3 drink tickets.

I come here for Awakening Fridays when Im not too tired to go out or when my friend bugs me to go.If you show up early then hit up Syrup across the street for some waffles and coffee.My favorite EDM club with crappy reception unless you have an iphone5. Last time I went it was pretty ravey inside...which I hate...but I love the music and their laser light show is so cool. The venue could get pretty crowded but theres enough space to breathe if you get slightly claustrophobic. First floor is pretty chill with an outdoor smoking area, second floor has 3 different rooms (1 main stage, 1 with bar and another where you can sit and chat) and third floor you need a bracelet and you get a great view of the dj from above away from the crowd.dress code: not strict, i usually wear something comfortableparking: valet parking everywheredrink: nothing that great, if you want something to get you drunk then ask for LA Watercrowd: lots of asiansnote: The 2nd floor where the main stage is the best place to feel the music with the speakers bumpin. The top floor is great if you cant stand being in crowds.random: facebook the movie was filmed here

Interesting venue, definitely a club feel over a concert hall... great audio/video, but a little loud for my taste (maybe Im getting old, hah). Place has a dress code... something worth knowing before going.

Came to see Deorro Nov. 2023A bit overcrowded at the end of the night and people were very pushy and aggressive.

EXCHANGE LA, is a throw back to the Sunset Boulevard night club scene. The expansive facility provides great sound and spectacular lighting.Opening in 1931, following the Great Depression of 29, the elegantly designed Los Angeles Stock Exchange projected the confidence California needed. Today, the marble and polished brass, and the expansive trading floor provides an upscale entertainment setting.As you would expect, the music is loud, with rich bass and a clean upper register. There is no distortion here.The four story building has lots of stairs and a backstage elevator. A large skybox offers an unobstructed view of the stage, and contains a private bar. (The backstage elevator transports VIPs and those with a handicap.)The bathrooms, located on the first floor, are large and wheelchair accessible.Cell phone and internet reception is poor, at least on Verizon.This is downtown LA so parking is expensive. If possible, take public transportation. The subway is fast, safe and offers inexpensive travel.

DO NOT go to this club. The staff/bouncers don’t know how to treat people, bad customer service and business all around.Such a bummer.

Pretty cool venue,lights layers, and a huge screen but the security needs a bit of work in the professionalism department.

Its a real nice venue. The workers are great. I havent had a problem there. The main room is decorated great. There are two bars so drinks are served right away.

The bouncers in this venue are incompetent. I took my partner to go see Henry Fong on 29 January, 2022. We were in the front where so many drunk fools were tumbling, dropping drinks, bumping into people and acting like idiots.The bouncers would walk by and wouldn’t patrol properly.

Let me start by saying Im not a high brow person and I will never pretend to be. This place tries way too hard to be the club of LA.No club will ever be worth waiting as long in line as I had to for this. Not to mention the fact that if you are a guy, you WILL pay. No matter what. Like, I had a friend DJ-ing this and was supposed to get in for free, but the bouncers were gracious enough to only ask to charge me for half of the whole cover charge (which apparently varies on who you are and what group you show up with between $40-$50, a higher amount if you show up by yourself as a guy, or with a group of just guys). Furthermore, why the heck does a club charge this much if they cant even get an actual credit card machine? Do I really have to pay $3 at your ATM to get the cover to get in your club? The answer is no. Because no club is worth this amount of BS.Club culture profits from making part of or everything feel exclusive, when the truth is: youre in a big room with loud music that you could go anywhere for. People, save your money and go to Bootie LA. Its $10, and the best crowd and music youll experience for some real fun. But hey, if youre insecure enough about your personal life to feel like you have to drop over $100 in one night at one place to affirm that you had a good weekend, thats youre own business.

I only went once, but when i overheard security shaking down dudes for $50 to get in the door before they paid the actual cashier for admission, i knew i would never be coming back. i understand that most, if not all club security make side money, but making people pay twice is pure bullshit

I’m not really a club guy but for whatever reason I just love this spot! It’s gotta be the DTLA location, Art Deco architecture and just the great vibe of the people in it. So many great memories!

I went two years ago for a LA vacation with my boyfriend, and we didnt know the DJ but the ViBe is awesome, the people are awesome too. We had an awesome time, I thank the LA people there.Ps. Never go to a nyc nightclub, horriable people. LA forever.

Cool spot with the Insomniac takeover on weekends. They get great djs fri/sat nights. Buy tix ahead of time to save at least 10-20$ tho! Security guards are bit pushy but just keep cool and should be fine! Awesome sound system tho!

Overpriced, understaffed, rude and abusive bouncers, and elusive management.I dont ever write reviews for locations, but in the case of Exchange LA I have to let people know about how disappointing and abusive my experience was. I went to ExchangeLA with my friends and girlfriend for my birthday thinking it would be great. We got VIP passes, a table, and got seated. The first part of the night was OK but nothing special.Eventually, when towards the end of the night I got quite drunk so I was helped by security to their Care room to be helped into a taxi. My girlfriend, who wasnt that drunk, along with my friend come with and let the paramedic who was there know that she was my GF and would be staying with me. At that point, my GF put my wallet and phone into her bag for safekeeping. After a while in the care room, a bouncer came in and started to act suspicious. He asked to see my ID and when my GF took out my wallet to find my ID, he saw that I had some money inside. At that point, he stopped asking for ID and wanted the wallet to be handed over. My GF, who felt it was very suspicious he suddenly wanted the wallet, didnt want to hand it over so the bouncer started to verbally abuse and even threatened to arrest her. When she still refused, the bouncer tried to restrain her and pin her against the wall before reaching for the wallet. Thankfully, at that point the paramedic (who just stood there and watched for the most part) tried to step in. And once my other friend noticed he grabbed us and put us into a taxi right away.When I came back to complain the following day, the manager refused to tell us the name of the bouncer and simply said to call management. So I called management and was told that the main manager wasnt in. I told the assistant what happened and she promised me that she would tell the manager and he would call back by the end of the day. At the end of the day, I never received a call so I called them back. She said that she didnt know where he was and I should call back later. Two days later I called again, and she still said she didnt know but would email all the info to the manager and other personnel in management. The following week I didnt hear a response so I called them again and got a different person. She said that she, nor the manager, ever received anything from the first lady so I told her the full story again. Eventually, another week later, I managed to get in contact with the manager who said that he would look into it and get back to me by the end of the week.I never received a call or message that week and when I called back the following week the assistant said he was busy and would call me back when he was done. This cycle continued until finally the manager gave me a call. Unfortunately I was busy at the time so I told him to email me and I gave him my email. He never did. Eventually I found his email and emailed him once a week but never received an answer. It took almost 2 months to finally get in contact with him and have him give us his analysis. He said that they did nothing wrong and my GF was the one who was fully suspicious so they were just thinking in my best interest. They even claimed that she snuck into the care room and took my phone and wallet from me.There are much better clubs in Los Angeles. Save yourself the trouble and dont go here. The bouncers dont care for you at all and the management will do whatever they can to avoid taking responsibilities. I never even got the champagne that I paid for.

Love the Historic building location! Great sound & lighting, however...they lack adequate outdoor space for fresh air. The only offering is a cattle pen out back filled with smoke...Nowhere to get a breathe?

The security from front door said my ID is fake and wont let me in even though it is NOT. I showed my passport and other things to proof it is not fake and they finally admit that it is not a fake ID. They never apologize for me standing outside for hours and showed rude attitude , never listen to my words. I almost call the police for this. Really disappointed .

Very unprofessional staff! They give part to the people that are disrespectful and rowdy. Very disappointed after being here for over 5 years, never had this problem. Yes I understand people may push but there is a difference between punching the people infront of you to get in front and simply just pushing people because of the overcrowded area. I will never come back!

Dont buy your tickets online, or even at the front door, theyll deny you entry and deny you your money back. Staff is rude, and so are the bouncers. Biggest cash grab.

I went to see Bakermat and I loved the venue and the vibe. Definitely coming back!

Some tall white dude charged my friend and I 92$ for 2 double shot drinks, if you need more money get a better job. Im sure he did it to others.

One of the best dance clubs in LA! The Exchange building in Downtown is the perfect venue for all things Electronic music! A must if you love house, trance, or all things EDM!

Events are great but they never seem to have the AC on. Its always super humid with not a lot of fresh air. Probably why they dont offer free water. It could defintely improve if they fixed these 2 things or at the least provide water even if its tap

Pricy drink and really not much room around dance floor, not my first option with all the other downtown LA clubs. I feel this is still a good place to go, just like I said, not my first choice out

Music was amazing... On point! But dudes here were so aggressive. Cant have a fun girls night without getting mobbed. Really put a damper on the evening. Crowd was less than fun.

Awesome sound and production... HOWEVER the staff is super rude and aggressive. Been to shows across the country and this place sets a new standard for being rude and aggressive.

Just listening to Pete tong on radio 1 Claude con stroke said he liked this club looks awesome.just been to bugged out at Bognor in UK fab weekend looking forward to Ritchie Hawkins set.

One of the bouncers refused to let me in after my ID was verified by the police. Told me that my ticket was refundable and that I could get my money back. The ticket was not refundable and proceeded to take bribes

I like this club if you are in the mood for a loud sound system experience that reminds you of going to a rave when you were in your early 20s. Once in awhile, one just needs to let loose, so this is a good option.

One of my favorite clubs in the city fridays they usually bring the best of trance and saturdays they bring techno and other genres of EDM. Youll always have a great time here

One of the best places I have been in. Good vibes, fun, definitely going back again.

I had a very poor experience here. The service sucked, the drinks were bad, and the bathrooms were disgusting. The management should really step up their game

Awesome music, awesome staff. Crowd is a but homogenous but that can hardly be blamed on the venue. Its my favorite place in LA.

Typical LA nightclub in a cool, historical building, overrun by Asian dudes. Don’t forget your leather jacket! $7 for a small Fiji water.

Its not avalon thats for sure. Too small and easy to trip inside. Too many stairs. The area for smoking is too small. The bouncers are a joke. Where the bathrooms are located is not a ideal location.

The vibe sucks but staff was great. Its the people that make this place unbearable.

Came here to exchange my pesos into dollars after Trump got elected. Turns out they dont do that despite the misleading name. Stayed for the music. Would recommend. *Note* Does not accept pesos

Excellent club to spend time with your friends, I recommend it 100%, you can spend the night and enjoy and the atmosphere is spectacular, not to mention how is the service, take 5 stars!

Rudest bouncers Ive ever encountered. Made me step out of line bc of my outfit but then let me in?? Makes no sense. On my way out I saw 5 of them tackle a girl for no reason it was crazy, she was already on her way out.

This is the best club ive ever been too. I have had a great time there on multiple occasions. Never a dull moment. Been there like 20 times. EDM!

I lost my wallet in there, actually I wasn’t expecting can find it, but luckily they said they have my wallet and my money, when I got my wallet I have total $70 and now $15 in my wallet 😮‍💨this is about honesty, look like a high class place but 😓😓😓

If i could give this club zero stars i would, this club is full of idiot security guards, they decided my friend didn’t look like her ID and it clearly was her, the guy claimed to have ten years of experience with checking IDs but he clearly doesn’t and explains why he hasn’t moved up in life and still works at a pathetic club, we had to call the cops to get it resolved.

Was here for Duke Dumont on NYE. Overpriced drinks like everywhere else. Very large club and a rave like atmosphere. Everyone had a great time.

Ive been to the venue once for the Engadget event. This place has one of the most amazing sound systems I have ever seen. Wall to wall Funktion-One. Simply amazing.

One of the best party spots in LA, its good to see them back.

The worst place . Not organize . I found much better club in LA compare to this one . From waiting Line , employees ،..... It doesnt worth 35 bucks for me not even 10

Thief’s.. worse place for a concert.. concert was at 9.. its past midnight and still no artist.. it’s basically paying a overprice cover charge but calling it a concert.. it’s been 3 hours and still nothing but dj ..don’t ever waist ur time or money coming .. the price should be a red flag .. artists don’t show up n they just pretend like it’s a one time thing while u out ur money

WATCH OUT. My wallet and phone got stolen and the security did very little to help out. Please be careful with your belongings once you get into the venue, theres a lot of sketchy people eyeing you down and waiting to strike when you least expect it.

Horrible Club, security at door are the most uneducated, unprofessional young hoodlums with no class, and dont even think that other staff will ever help you they will harrass you and kick you out thinking their best interest is the customer attendee. Will make a complait and hope they take disiplinary actions, of course not, they will lier

Mostly an EDM club these days. It doesnt pick up till at least 12am. The line outside moves really slow and you figure it must be packed inside, but once you enter, its like half full around 10pm.

My first time bad review on google. Inferior vodka (mingle with water), music is boring, place needs renovation, and overcharged me $220 extra. Wouldnt recommend.

Very nice place. I spend ten hours here and I am happy. It is the best party club ever

The go to power house night club for the Electronic Dance Music (EDM) my favorite genre is Techno but tgey have shows that cover all EDM genres. Its a must experince place

Nice place but not enough security and people smoke inside its horrible because you breathe in all the smoke they really need a smoking designated area. And kinder bouncers.

This was an unexpected visit to see a dj I enjoy listening to Claptone, Historic building with fun atmosphere, I felt very at home here and would recommend to friends and family.

Was there yesterday. Nothing other than the crowded space made it a bad experience it just wasnt that great. The DJ had no energy and the crowd had no energy. Perhaps it was just a bad night but that is what reviews are for.

The architecture of this place is absolutely astonishing. I was very pleased with how much of the history in this building is still felt. Staff was incredible. Great service.

Great venue. It does get overcrowded sometimes and the line can be bad but the space is great. A lot of seating area and awesome bookings consistently.

My favorite club in LA. Great artists, great security, great vibe, beautiful ppl, 12/10

Great place to hace fun with your friends!

This place looks cool, but not really as is. Very pricey and nobody is dancing. Sometimes we go this place with my coworkers but i never enjoyed this place.

Excelent place, music sound phenomenal,

With bookings from the likes of Claude Vonstroke, Oliver Heldens, Adam Beyer, and Nicole Moudaber....EXLA is Rocking LA with great international talent for those who like House, Tech / Techhouse!

Dance floor gets overcrowded. Bunch of people standing on the dance floor not dancing. Also hard to get a bar tenders attention.

Super rich and long lines for days. So expensive I am thankful I got vip to make up for the expense. Loved the music and the staff was friendly.

Well i was overcharged at the door .then after they threatened to kick us out after watchin a bartender put zero alcohol in our 20$ jack n cokes.then some rando pushed me and grabbed my friends ass then demanded cocaine from us.so i threw my overpriced soda and ice in his face.at wich point i was escorted out.then while outside overheard security attempting to charge male customers 100 to get in

Great venue! Awesome sound system, great music and the drinks were nice and strong! I would definitely go back!

Very good place to party had fun this Sunday I was live with the one and only Sven Vath. One of the worlds best.

Nobody is dancing, all are filming. 40 $ entrance for a boring party. That my first and last time where I stay here.

I came in with my allergy medicine which i get was confiscated due to being suspicious, i was told ill get it back at the of end of the night by security, but once the night ended i was told it was thrown away by head of security and when i asked why he walked away didnt get me an answer and was being rude, that medicine i pay out of pocket and was disappointed

Terrible service there on my birthday and cant even get a discount or drink free after spending $122. I wouldnt recommended coming here over priced drinks and rude manners

Worst club in LA, youll have your stuff stolen inside and security are a**holes 100%, will never go there again and I strongly recommand you do the same

I got charged for drinks that I didn’t order. When I contacted them they said they couldn’t refund. 🙃

Not my music.. Son took me to a technical music Showing and I did not liked the dejay , which played tunes like my ring tone. Beebeebeee the kids have fun thouhg!

Not as douchey as most LA clubs. Cool spot if you want something thats a cross between a rave and a club

Can’t say enough about this place! Often times I find myself staying until the very last minute because it’s such a good time!

Beautiful decorated, good sound system, but single bathroom and its locale is really inconvenient when you want to minimize your absence from the performers.
