The Dance with the Dead & Magic Sword show at the Echoplex was thoroughly enjoyable! They have these really cool shelves around all the pillars, perfect for setting down your drink or leaning on, made the experience very convenient. I hate to just stand and hold a big heavy beer for an hour straight. Plus, the bathroom was so clean! I felt very safe the whole time, great security team.

Came here for 54ultra. The sound system wasn’t the best best, but I had fun. Their popcorn was delicious though and they give refills. Smelled like popcorn in there all night lol

Was waiting in line and had to poop, go to Lassens Natural Foods & Vitamins it’s pretty close and a good washroom to hit up. Had a friend hold my spot too.

Attended the Fever333 demonstration here and it was such an amazing experience. The venue is pretty nice given the outside appearance. When you wait in line for the doors to open, you do so at the end of the alleyway, on the sidewalk. It can be challenging if the line extends long because there are port-o-potties that are frequented by the local homeless. So that can get a little busy. Once doors open, it’s an easy process to get into the venue. The staff outside and inside are all friendly. Prices for drinks are what you’d expect at a concert venue. Above average but they are good. Bathrooms are clean and neatly attended to. While it’s a cashless venue, you can tip the bathroom attendants with cash. They are very appreciative. All in all, I can’t wait to come back for future events!

First time there on 11/22/2025 to see Taylor Acorn. The staff from Security to Bar staff were some of friendliest I've experienced in small LA clubs, so far. The actual "pit" area in front of the stage is rather small, but the bar area (there are 2 bars) behind and left of the tech consoles is open and provides good visibility of the stage and sound.
