I have only had one experience at Bootie so far, but I literally danced to some amazing mash-ups for about 5 hours straight. When it was all over, I was asking for more! The main floor is where the big party is. If you really want to cut a rug, I would suggest dancing on the stage at the front of the dance floor. Conversely, you could dance at your own pace down on the main floor. Either are good!

Up and coming Club with a mix of a young and older crowd. The bartenders are great and attentive as well as the rest of the Staff. Super engaging atmosphere. Dance floor can get a bit crowded. Layout of the club is inviting and cozy.

I seldomly go to nightclubs with my friends, but this one made me feel comfortable and safe. They also have affordable drinks and food to offer.

We used this place for our event and it was fantastic. Beautiful place with three bars downstairs. Beer is fairly expensive here so keep that in mind when ordering for yourself and others. The interior is fantastic with comfortable seating in the back and an excellent stage area. It was just perfect for our event.

I was in LA, on a first date. He saw the sign in the window that said Cajun food: his favorite. I was hesitant, but wanted to seem more adventurous than I am so I agreed. The door was dingy and I couldnt see through the heavily tinted windows. I assumed it would be a little shop with a couple tables and chairs, kinda like a deli. What I stepped into was another world. The front door opens up to an opulent bar. The most beautiful bar I have ever been in. It looks like a movie set. Then past the bar there is a long winding hallway that leads to the restaurant.

This place was SO MUCH FUN. At first I wasnt sure about the mash-ups but once I got used to it I fell in love. This place does need better ventilation though considering they pack in a billion people who end up sweating balls for hours on end. I wasnt too sure about the burlesque show that went on the night I was there. I am all for a good show and as a straight women I can really appreciate a girl that has the guts to go up on stage and show her goodies and bits but it just felt really low class and creepy. I watched for a few minutes and then it became painful so I ventured into the top room where there was more electronic music playing and many cool people to dance around with. I would definitely come back to Bootie next time I am in SF!

Ive come here for a number of occasions and the atmosphere is always fun. Their food menu is good and everything is super tasty. Its pretty hard to find GOOD Cajun food in LA and this place is definitely number one in my book. I love the variety and their small spins on certain dishes.

No need to impress anyone here! As I recall, when I came here in September I was makeup-less and wearing an ill-fitting sweater. I had the best time ever. Just enjoy the mash-up music, have fun and dance any way you want, and act a fool!

My friends and I had a great time at this club. It was Sunday evening when we decided to go to this club. We got fascinated by the beautiful crowd of people who go wild dancing on the dance floor. We like the drinks that they served the margarita was not too watery and not too strong as well. Also, the drinks were not too expensive. The DJ was so handsome. He plays a good variety of music. We will surely visit this place again.

When I first walked in, I thought it was the front bar... but a hallway leads you back into a room that gives a NoLa ambiance! Had a few beers while waiting for my lunch special of blackened shrimp po boy. The sandwich was good, the bread light and fluffy with a good helping of shrimp on there. The side salad was very good as well.Overall really enjoyed the food, drinks, service, and ambiance here and would stop in again.

First time at this venue and was kind of surprise about it because Im use to just go there after the nightclubs close and what can it be? 6 years ago since I visit that place and funny thing is first time I was sober and went there haha.However, fast to getting in and the service and bar wasnt bad.Only reason I went here was because it was my friends birthday and it was live band we checked it out.The drink was average price like most of the venues so nothing to complain about accept a great time! So you looking for chill place on a monday this is place to go but not to bring a date

Review №15

Interesting experience! The live band was entertaining for sure. Then there were moments of pure ecstasy upstairs with the top floor DJ, Beastie Boys vs. Gnarls Barkely and Missy Elliot vs. Blondie.The mood upstairs was quite, um, intoxicating. After the live band played though, downstairs on the main floor got a little less fun. Stuff like Livin On a Prayer vs. Stand By Me just wasnt danceable to me. But overall I liked it - dont get me wrong!

It is a great nightclub, located in Hollywood! I have been here several times. However, I received great service from management and staff.The ambiance, from what I remember, was great.The drinks, though, were on the expensive side. Still, I do not regret spending money and time here. I have positive memories. Definitely, next time, when I am in Hollywood, I might visit this lounge again!

I adore this place! This is officially my favorite club in SF! The music is great and so is the crowd. The different dance floors are awesome and provide variety and change of scenery all in one place! The themed nights are great too! We spent last new years here and we all had a blast! Also, having an amazing pizza place attached is perfect for when you need a mid partying snack. I also love that they give out mixed CDs to the first 100 people. There is a stack of Bootie CDs in our car at all times. I HIGHLY recommend this club!

This honestly became one of my favorite games to shoot at. Security was super respectful. And I literally had no issues. I’d definitely love to come back so if you’re a band that would like to hire me you can reach me on Instagram at:@Synthetic_Art or@Subatomic_HumanAlso, parking is a little pricey next-door but you can always find meter parking around the block. It’s Hollywood so i’d suggest to come earlier to get a great parking spot.

Bootie: mashups and drunk people. i like the guy with the bunny ears (youll see him soon enough if you go). mashup is like metallica versus estelle: better than you think. i like mashups because most of the songs by themselves are tepid and hackneyed, but improve with heavy bass, alcohol, and drunken friends to dance with. i especially like the barmaid at the absynthe bar, and the crowd is fun. bootie is a perfect term because it evokes images of buzzed pirates dirty dancing shaking their well-formed butts, which is a good starting place to explain the joy that is bootie sf. 2nd and 4th saturday, goes til 3. dont wear clothes you mind getting a little sweaty.

Review №26

I’m a regular here, and for good reason.The staff is caring and considerate.I’ve seen people really lose themselves inside and instead of calling the police or an ambulance they take time to allow the party goer to collect themselves.I’ve worked as a bouncer before and I must say that this practice goes above and beyond expectations.Trust me when I say that it is a safe place to let loose.It is definitely my preferred night-out venue.After the main club closes at 2, BARDOT opens upstairs and allows you to continue partying until 6am. There are not many establishments set up in this manor which makes this club a gem.I highly recommend.

Review №28

Has after hours thats why its so expensive. One of the few after hours thats advertised (for obvious reasons) and SO many men. The ratio is all off. Im a woman and arrived around 2am on a Saturday. Huge line. Crazy cover fee. And was approached by several men immediately I had to say Im sorry Im just trying to dance and enjoy the music with my friends and they were relentless. Just a grimey feeling despite the beautiful venue! This place is not worth it at all for after hours I bet during regular hours the place is great. Ive been to way more inviting and peaceful underground after hours and this was men being pushy and the drinks were weak to boot

This place was great! One of my vocal students performed there for an event called School Night and I was backstage warming him up. Security was good, the sound system was good, and the crowd was lots of fun! I will definitely recommend this place as a venue for more of my students to perform! ️

Review №32

Pretty cool venue. Nice size theater. Not too big not too small. My one gripe would be small food selection and I got VIP which was nice and rope and seats but was further back. I think I was expecting the best view in the house. All in all great venue with a great staff.The event I went for was a Bon Scott tribute. Dean Delray, Marc maron and bill burr did stand up comedy then they play Ac/dc songs. One the funnest and funniest nights I’ve had in recent memory. Although I’ve been told this venue tends to host more DJ and club type events.

Review №33

Well, this one is definitely my favorite nightclub in LA. (I feel like I should mention from the very beginning, that I live in SF, and my clubbing standards are high. When in SF, make sure to check out Audio, Halcyon, 1015 Folsom, and The Midway (at least!). Now, to be honest with you, LA’s dance scene seems quite poor to me. And nevertheless...) I guess that practically all major EDM events take place here. The sound system is outstanding, and the space itself is very, very nice. If you’re really into electronic music and looking for a decent nightclub in LA, check out this one first. Also, you might find Sound on Las Palmas Ave somewhat cool, too. Both are worth visiting, and if we’re talking sound quality, you’ll enjoy them equally. However, I can say that the most interesting DJs would normally play at Avalon. Anyway, tastes differ (I’m all about progressive, minimal techno, and psytrance) so try out these two and decide for yourself... Okay, this is the most extensive review I’ve written so far so let’s wrap it up here. When I travel around the world and have just a few nights in one city, I have to rely on other people’s recommendations and reviews online, that’s why I’m so eager to help you make the right choice and be in the right place at the right time. Now, once you’ve checked out these two nightclubs, I’m pretty sure that you’ll become a regular either at Avalon or Sound. Have a GREAT night out!!!

Unprofessional doorman. I understand he has a job to do. But at least have a little people skills, as your one of the main job functions is to speak with people. The guy looks like he hates his life and gives off a terrible vibe.Inside the club is nice, however it must be 90% men to women ratio. Holy sausage fest

Excellent venue for seeing bands. Very unique setup for viewing the band from all sides. The sound system always sounds so damn good here too which is huge and something I dont take for granted anymore. Theres an easy to reach bar right behind the stage and several bars. Usually a DJ in adjacent area. School Nights on Monday night have some pretty amazing bands playing for free.I think this is one of LAs best smaller venues.

Review №39

Honestly I think its my favorite club in Hollywood/la. Decent size, plenty of bars and an awesome aesthetic. Used to be an opera hour or a play house which gives it a very unique vibe. Sound system is also great but you have to be dead center of the dance floor which can suck if its too crowded but hard to have perfect sound everywhere so thats that. Beyond that the acts make the club, I enjoy the booking but thats all personal opinion

AVOID. I would give it zero stars if possible. The security guys were very rude when we arrived. They were extremely racist and actually were very close to legit physical harassment. Mind you I had been there for 20 seconds. One white guy tells me that he needs me standing in a line on the other side and I just stopped for 10 seconds to look at my phone so I can call my friends and another white man comes attacking me from behind and touching me to tell me to move. I would totally complain and do a lot more but they are not worth my time any more than this review.

What an incredible venue for a concert. We specifically came up from San Diego to see one of our favorite artists perform here and we werent disappointed.Tip - If you dont mind standing, try to get up on the second level next to the sound booth. You wont have anyone blocking your view of the stage and will have a little more breathing room than if you were down on the first floor trying to get to the very front.The couches are also a really nice touch. Good to take a break on but not obtrusive in anyway.

Ive been here twice in the past. Its fun with freinds. Cover fee was like $20 and the outside line has a wait. Check online deals for discounted admission tickets. Just come before 12 midnight. Its open until like 5 am but they stop to sell alcoholic drinks at 2 am.The venue is very big. The big room on 1st floor has the main DJ and lights and people dancing. They also have a few rooms upstairs with an smoking lounge. DJ music. The crowd is diverse, some young teens and older adults, couples. The vibe overall is good.

Infected Mushroom xmas eve. Awesome show. Huge club. Great sound. Very strange crowd. Eighty percent Chinese. Kind of a reverse take on the Jewish Christmas tradition (more so because IM are Israeli). We were in a nich by stage right. There was a garbage can behind the proscenium. Chinese girls kept going there to throw up. Old drunk Chinese guys kept trying to break into clumps of young dancing Chinese girls to dance with them. Kind of creepy. Lots of smoking in the VIP lounges next to the dance floor. Anyway, had a great time and would go back again.

Avalon Hollywood is such a unique experience to the saturation of venues here in Hollywood. The Palace as its former name is the longest standing theater venue here and what wonders does it provide. From special events, to nightlife its always a extravagant experience. Fast lines, professional environment, concert lighting and a sound system that provides 360 coverage of the its environment is just one of the few wonders here in Los, Angeles CA. Looking forward to whats to come from the Avalon Team and its experiences it provides.

Probably my favorite club in LA. The main stage is wide and roomy, they have multiple stages, the staff is courteous, drinks are reasonably priced, and they have a cool smoking room patio(when they actually open it). They also open another room and bar upstairs that doesn’t close till 7am! There’s a really cool promoter that works named Nik. They are what other nightclubs should strive to be.
