Echoplex - Los Angeles, California

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!

5/5 venue. kind of difficult to find it because they had us walk down to the ground level because the other spot is above road. but its a nice cool place inside, security is tight. free parking around the area just have to seek for them. they sell alcohol and have some seating inside, only if you get there early then you get the seats.

I enjoy visiting this small venue. I've had a chance to watch a couple of my favorite bands here, and it was a great time! The entrance is in the alley along Glendale Blvd.

Parking is good. There's metered parking on the nearby street and a lot just a block east of the venue (on Lemoyne St), with mobile app payment availability. If you're lucky, you may snag a spot for free (after a specific time) along Glendale Blvd and near Echo Park Lake. I usually park in the paid lot since it doesn't cost much and it's lit.

Upon entering the venue, security and walk-through detectors only take a few seconds. They check bags for content and size, so check the website for restrictions. The staff has also been chill for the most part.

Inside, the space is small but spacious when it isn't packed. It's been comfortable when I've been here. The stage is average height, but people in the back still get a decent view. The sound overall is good. There are some muffled areas, but it is still enjoyable from anywhere. The inside ceiling support pillars block a little of the view in some places but also have shelves to rest your drinks on.

If you need to sit, some VIP seats are on the front side, and benches along the back (left and right) walls. There are also two bar areas to quench your thirst. Inflated drink prices are expected with venues like this, and all transactions are cashless, so be sure to bring your cards. If merch is available, it's usually stationed along the back area.

I am looking forward to more concerts here!

I had a great time seeing Gavin Turek at the Echoplex. It’s a nice smallish venue with good sound. There was no line for the bathroom or bar even though she packed the house. There are also good restaurants and street tacos in walking distance after the show.

Went to this venue to see a dj the night started calm. As the venue became more packed we got some drinks. Overall a pleasant experience with the exception of a random security guard trying to act tough. Amalia a manager there handled the situation professionally and put the out of line security guard in his place. She also apologized and said he was new and he was taken off the floor immediately.

Went to a sold-out Wednesday night show. The security line was pretty quick. They had one walk-through metal detector and 3 wanders. Inside, there are two bars. One large bar in the back of the club and one bar on a side wall. There is bench seating along one wall if you get tired of standing. The sound system is GREAT!!! It was a Hiphop show with three mics being passed around to different performers all night, and they always sounded clear for everyone, which is rare for a Hiphop show. The one knock is that the sound booth is directly in the middle of the floor, which potentially could block parts of the stage if you stood behind it. Because of that, I would give a 4.5 rating.

Enjoyed the small size venue. Perfect for supporting your favorite bands, nice and intimate. Did not enjoy the walk around the block and over the bridge past the other venue upstairs to get to the downstairs venue. But, I guess it works for them.

Good venue for live music, not too small not too big, acoustic is good. Drinks are good too!
Good vibes! Went to see "Survive said the Prophet" s show. Had a great time!

Avoid using the parking structure next door if you are there till late night. Have seen many people getting stuck as it was closed. There are a lot of cheap surface parking available on the street above. Just need to walk a bit.
