The atmosphere very good. The waiters were very attentive but the security, some of the security's, were very bad-tempered. It is understood that you cannot drink at 2am. But the way they ask for it by shining light in their faces and shouting is not the way. A complaint was made to the head of security and he replied “if you don't like it, don't come” that's not the way either.

this nightclub has been around a long time. They have plenty of space for special events and a wonderful dance floor. Sometimes they might use the upstairs. I haven't been there in a while. I hope to check it out. I didn't speak Spanish when I first went there, but it's wonderful to watch Latin dance, and, just get to know the crowd they're very kind. You just get on the dance floor and have a fun time. Have a few drinks. And enjoy the view lol.

This gay friendly club have good music and three dance floors but is the most old and third world club in Hollywood. This place appears as if it has never been renovated and they charge you in cash. Bathrooms stink and you can barely find a place to dance. No idea porque este lugar está lleno es un lugar muy viejo donde renovaciones nunca han hecho y donde los baños tienen mal olor y donde te cobran en efectivo y donde no puedes bailar. No es un lugar donde regresará. Lo único agradable es la música y la raza Latina que vienen a este lugar.

First of all. Tempo lives in a period of time where Latinos couldn't afford to even pay its fare to ge tin. What is going on with the UNNECESSARY ONLY CASH RULE??? Why can't they get adapt to the times and adopt CREDIT CARDS, WBT, APPE PAY, WIFI FOR NEW MILLENNIUM SAKE. MOVIE PEOPEL AT A TICKET STAND FOR A SUNDAY FILM, $7, show more respect for its customers than the lady at the ticket stand. SHE BLUNTLY, with no sings anywhere , tells customers to get cash. The funny part is that there's no communication where the cash can be drawn, SO THIS PEOPE ARE ALREADY TREATING YOU, as if you're supposed to know where to go . LIKE AN UNDERGROUND BAR THAT HAPPENS TO be at 10pm. ONCE INSIDE, again. BARTENDERS ONLY TAKE CASH, good people outside the patio only take cash. WHAT IS THE PHILOSOPHY IF THIS PLACE? Let's not adapt to the modern times cause is easier ???

I had to reviewBecause last Saturday I was at this place with friends we were in the dance floor in the lower level where the Dj jp or something was really drunk stopping the music and messing around

A nice place to have a few beers but the only bad thing is the security staff, they are super rude people and they treat you badly, apart from being homophobic, there are several who hit the customers and still laugh, they are drunk and high, what a bad experience but The atmosphere and place are acceptable.

It is an ugly and ordinary place. A horrible show and the security had terrible service and over the years this place has gotten worse. I do not recommend it to anyone, there are better options in Los Angeles where they treat you well and treat you with respect. Better don't come to this place. My only recommendation to the owner of this place is that they change the manager of this place because they need to improve otherwise they will go bankrupt.

$17 cover? A ridiculous price for this club. Don't recommend. Extremely overpriced compared to comparable clubs or better.

$17 cover?! This has GOT TO BE A JOKE! I don't even pay cover at downtown LA! I feel bad for those people that pay and spend money on drinks.

Been coming here for more years than I care to admit, so I feel qualified to leave this review. Tempo used to be one of the most unique and special gay bars in L.A. And it packed in a big crowd, especially on Sundays. It's a relatively small establishment, but it had four distinct spaces: a pop music disco, a country western ballroom, a performance stage with gay mariachis and at least one drag show, plus a rooftop terrace with a taco bar. Really, what more could you ask for? But somewhere along the way, they've lost their passion for creating fun and drawing a crowd. They've shuttered the disco permanently, and they only open the country western ballroom after the drag and mariachis shows are done. So now there's a very predictable cadence that's simply gotten old/boring. They now attract a much smaller crowd and charge an exorbitant $17 cover that feels like a desperate effort to bring in revenue. Worse yet, it feels like they tolerate/encourage inebriated bar flys who bring down the whole experience. Post pandemic, L.A.'s gay scene is still vibrant and constantly reinventing itself. I believe Tempo can carve out its own special corner of it. But whoever owns/runs it needs a dose of inspiration. Tempo needs to find its own new tempo.
