We went there as my partner was playing there and it was fantastic from this point of view! Nice venue with great vibes and zn amazing sound system!
I wouldn't have ever expected it back during the Vanguard or Create years, but Academy is quickly taking over Exchange as my favorite club in LA! The building itself isn't as nice and the bathrooms are crowded, but the updates to production, service, and vibes are unmatched. Really well-balanced sound system that fully envelops you, absolutely beautiful screen and lighting design, plus killer air conditioning that is close enough to actually make a difference. Top that off with a big open dance floor that isn't oversold, great layout with nice bartenders, and a sweet back patio area with seating and lights. My only complaints are the poor value for the money when it comes to drinks (mostly ice), and the parking being a bit steep at $20 when garage reservations near Exchange are only $12. It is convenient to be able to park there though!
Academy was hosting LA Art Battle which was an epic event sponsored by Sharpie. The venue had plenty of outdoor space and the interior had great lighting and lcd panel graphics running the entire length. Super cool atmosphere. Drinks weren’t that impressive and cost nearly $20 for a boring drink that took all of 5 seconds to make. Other than that, it was pretty awesome.
They over sell tickets then get mad at guests for not squishing themselves into a overly crammed dance floor. You get yelled at multiple times by security meanwhile they don't physically help the situation they just try to boss people around. Will definitely contact fire marshall next time for their poor oversight as well as unecessarily excessively aggressive security team. This place is getting worse than The Exchange. Also, it's hot as balls there, no fans no ac. Got the artists sweating like hell. Very unfortunate and greedy situation. Do better already!! Damn
One of my favorite clubs. All invite cool DJs. Stuff is cool too.
