Saw Aries here, the venue is such a perfect size that you can’t get a bad spot.

This medium-small, former cool dive bar was bought out by a corporate entity that has changed the vibe of this place for the worse, I'm sorry to say. Real money isn't even good enough for this place--it's no cash allowed! How crazy is that? They must love paying those fees to the banks! Wait, WE'RE the ones paying those bank fees as it's included in the prices. I hate this policy. It's unAmerican not to accept our currency. Who do they think they are? Not everyone has a card with money on it. I guess if u don't, you're probably not welcome here. Metal detectors at the door, then they wand u again for entry. Purses get searched too. The security here seems excessive overall with security guys watching u everywhere. It's unnerving + a buzzkill.
On the positive side, the live music presentation of this club is well done. Nice stage size--not too big, waist high so everyone can get a good view of the bands. Smaller sized audience area so you feel up-close + personal. Excellent sound system + monitors, sound guy is quick + very good at his job, + lighting is nice. It IS undeniably a good place to see + hear a band.
What's crazy is there's nowhere to sit inside, not even a bench along the wall. How lame is that? Gen X says Thumbs Down + my disabled BF was not happy about it. Large outdoor patio is the only place with any seating.
Decent drink variety here but all come in a can, even the cocktails. Mix of craft beers + bubbly fruity drinks, mainstream beers + pre-mixed cocktails at standard bar prices. No cash allowed, remember.
Overall, if a band i want to see is playing here, I'll go again. But this place no longer has any warmth or personality so I'd never go there to just hang out. It's become just another corporate venue now. The Echo has no parking lot. Street parking is busy but possible plus there are 2 big paid parking lots around the corner. Next door is a pizza slice place + ice cream place too if u get hungry.

Legendary L.A. music venue.

Talent buyer at the Echo does a great job bringing a variety of incredible acts across different genres to their stage. Prices are reasonable, for this economy- I almost dinged a star because they won't make you an old fashioned at the bar ("we only make basic cocktails 💀") but it's forgivable and I still love The Echo

Kole Barnes

Loved the venue, it didn't get hot. I loved the access of wall seating and bathrooms. It was very comfortable and not over-crowded despite being sold out when I went!

Natara Brown

Came here to see House of Protection. In my time here I found that all the staff were very awesome and willing to help! We had such a great time at this show. Given how small the venue is, the sound really packs a punch! My teenager and I really enjoyed our time here.
