The Bellwether - Los Angeles, California

I love seeing shows at the Bellwether. Top notch lighting and sound! Wonderful and helpful staff, with a special shout out to Sky, who assists in the ADA section. Because I have certain health issues, I always go for the ADA seating. Sky was great. Made sure I could get into my seat, even offered complimentary ear plugs, as we were so close to the stage. The Bellwether is a great smaller concert venue, with easily accessible parking. Looking forward to my next show there!

We had a Christmas party here, and it was a breeze to book, staff was nice, prices were very fair for the open bar, the music proved the room we got, no one in our group was a fan of the cold pizza under a heat lamp, for that reason I might recommend another location, not much parking in the area, luckily we Uber’s from a near by hotel, small intimidate venue which was nice. Might come for a concert would recommend for the live music.

I love smaller venues like The Bellwether! Got to see OK Go, and the experience I had was intimate and electric. I'd recommend checking out this venue anytime.

This venue is awesome. The staff is always very helpful and nice and the sound in the theater is great. The venue is nice with an intimate feel. The looking glass option was a nice additional option.

Such a great venue! Intimate, standing room with a little seating upstairs, and it might be one of my favorite spots in LA to see anyone.

That said, parking is less than ideal, and even if you park in a lot in Downtown nearby, it’s a $10 Lyft/Uber to get to/from the venue.

Never been there before, got tix for the upstairs Looking Glass lounge. It’s perfect to watch a show! And the sound is not too loud either.

Some music venues can be really challenging to maneuver while disabled, but the bellweather was amazing. They were welcoming from the very first point outside, and got us right to their disability liaison, who helped us get to the ADA seating area. He also checked in on us a few times and escorted us back downstairs when the show was over. The ADA seating was right up on the side of the stage, so we didn't have to sacrifice our view for ADA accommodations like many venues. Additionally, the shows were incredible, the lighting and atmosphere were awesome, and the bartenders were super friendly. Tanerèlle and VITA were ah-mayzing! We'll definitely be back soon!

The Bellwether has to be one of the coolest venues I have been to in DTLA. It is pretty big with several sections like an upstairs balcony for a better view of the musicians performing.

I was really happy to be able to come here for the first time and to see Mates Fest no less. It felt amazing getting to see so many of my favorite musicians perform in one place.

Even though the parking situation was a huge drag (there was not any free parking in the area, you have to either pay to park somewhere or park really far) the venue itself totally made up for it. Many of the workers seemed very inviting and were so friendly to us and everyone that was there.

The stage area was comprised of a bottom floor and a top floor with a balcony. I didn’t get the chance to go up there but I imagine the view was a lot better albeit further away from the stage. The view from the bottom can be a little rough since the stage isn’t super elevated off the ground. If someone taller than you is standing in front of you, good luck.

One thing that also really stood out to me was the lighting and the presentation of the musicians. It was honestly really cool and made the shows a lot better. In addition to this, the sound and everything was on point. A stellar night all around!
