Beautiful place. I was able to see a private Macklemore concert with a friend of mine who works with Salesforce! The venue was great, the food was good, and the free beer was epic!

First time there, loved it. Grand Echo Opry was great. Excellent acts and a lot of fun.

The beer selection is out of this world too many to sample if you came in every day. And you could because its pretty cheap too. Especially if you go during happy hour. Love the ambiance. They keep the joint very clean. Its a fun welcoming crowd that gathers. Pretty simple not much to it. Pool, darts, and beer. If youre into something less crazy than some of what Hollywood has to offer definitely check it out.

This is a gorgeous club. The line is pretty long but comparable to what the club in L.A. is like or any other clubs in SF. (Good things come to those who wait!).

Good spot. Excellent drinks. Perfect la vibes.

I went here with a group of friends for happy hour. I had the spa cocktail, and it was delicious. I ordered snacks off of the happy hour menu and the portions were generous. We had a lovely time; Im sure well be back.

The Echo is one of the best places to see hot and fresh indie music. Small venue but with good airflow even on crowded nights. Its got friendly bar staff. It has a large smoking patio with plenty of seating if you want to just chill and talk to some of the interesting patrons.

I love The Echo. I’ve had many fun nights here. Bar service is generally standoffish though. And they no longer have self serve water yet they still get annoyed when I asked for water.

Went to go see Meg Myers! The best music venue I have been to. I attended the upstairs room (the lower room is larger). Its small so you are SO close to the performer. The sound setup is also higher end and enjoyable. Lastly, the beer and parking are cheap. So that makes it my fav music venue around LA.

We have a brewery and full bar here in Echo Park! We offer craft cocktails, and 40 taps of the best beer and wine in southern California!

Saturday is funk and soul nights. Great atmosphere. From my experience no complicated mixed drinks and had to keep it simple when ordering. Couldve been a new hire just learning the art of being a bartender? In any event still had a great time. Looking forward to next visit.

I love the echo but when did the metal detectors arrive? And when did the drinks raise to hipster prices? I love the echo, and you can reboot and make the bar pretty, but everything else is still kinda grimey.

I took my 14 year old to attend a concert. I wasnt sure what to expect from a night club in Los Angeles at a music concert for all ages. I was pleasantly surprised. The place was small, intimate, clean, and safe. The staff wasnt particularly friendly but they did their job. The sound system had to have some problems or the sound tech persons needs to be replaced, for such a small space there was too much noise coming from the amplifiers, distorting and overwhelming the voices of the performers.The neighborhood, Echo Park, has completely changed in the last 20 years. It is clean, with lots of lights, restaurants, and at 11:30 on a Sunday night it was alive and I felt safe walking toward my car at that time with my daughter. I will not hesitate coming back for another event. I recommend this place.

Great venue. Easy to get to, plenty of street parking. Really good vibe. Fantastic lineup of artists come through.

The sound was exceptionally loud and clear. Cokes are not too seriously expensive and come in a reasonably large cup (for those avoiding or abstaining from alcohol for whatever reason). There is a large outdoor smoking patio with ample seating and cigarette butt disposal receptacles. The staff was professional at the door, and I like that they wand for weapons. After the weapon check, the i.d. check is smooth, then the ticket scanner is right there. I advise event attendees to be ready with not too much pocket stuff, the ticket loaded on the phone and i.d. easily accessible because people not being ready can cause significant delays and a long line at the door. The restroom is clean, for a bar/venue with running water, toilet paper, a hand dryer, and, surprisingly, plenty of soap. The performance space is pretty intimate with decent views of the stage from most of the floor. The sound at the show I saw was brutally loud yet clear from virtually every spot on the floor in the front of the stage, though losing a good spot might mean returning to stand behind tall people who will limit viewing of the performance, while the sound remains about the same, so if youre dancing or hypnotized or whatever the seeing of the band wont really matter much. Not many people move to the music here, but thats normal in my experience at LA shows, but at least the crowd is tolerant of those who do wish to move and dont get ugly if you accidentally bump them a little bit when youre lost in sound. Overall I was really impressed with the venue. I forgot to mention I saw a food menu which includes vegan options, so even though I didnt eat anything I thought that it was cool that the option was there! Really fun show (Earth and Helms Alee)!

This is a nice small venue for music. Theres free parking in the nearby neighborhood. The bar is pretty well stocked with Pabst Blue Ribbon on tap. Theres an outdoor patio available for smoking.

I really enjoy this venue! A variety of great shows.

I go to this venue quite often and I also play at this venue rather often. it took me a few visits to get used to the remodel that they did both in the main stage area and in the green room, but I feel that it may have been for the best. The sound is quite good especially when there is an exceptional engineer behind the board. parking is quite easy and cheap and youre almost always guaranteed a good show. it seems that there is always an effort to book a bill that works together, and add to that a built-in audience and youve got a nice little music scene. one thing I will say though is that I believe that the echo has now been bought by live Nation or one of those big huge venue type companies and so the security has gotten a little more standardized and a little bit tighter but fortunately all of the old people who worked at the echo are still working there, so I am almost always guaranteed a friendly face when I go there.the ambiance of the echo is dark, sort of blue, and dance-friendly. they even serve pizza from next door.

Lydia Lunch does not disappoint

Its a great spot for seeing bands and musicians of all kinds. Its small and can get a little packed, but still a great spot.

It was super fun to be there!!!! So much fun!!!!! Our guest when we were there were either so good or very fun to watch!!! Hahahahaha...we laughed so hard for the first guest ..lolLoved the seat and the lights

Great local shows, open high ceilings, new food menu, super fast service and great live sound...all good! Keep local music alive.

Deep blues, cool crowd. Cedric Burnside please come back!Leroy from the North was also bringing it.

I attended an amazing concert great place for gatherings highly recommend

Very nice atmosphere good local talent and good bar highly recommend if youre in Hood

Great venue that offers lots of different music options

Funky Sole is the best thing ever... Saturday nights only

Parking Info, to park - the small attached parking lot to the entrance of the venue is a CITY LOT #676 for PUBLIC PARKING and its only enforced until 9pm so its free for all by the time your show starts. The Echo barricades the lot entrance every night and when I tried to get in, their security thugs threatened to search my car if I parked there. I told him he didnt have a warrant then he said he had probable cause like hes a real cop. Another security claimed LADOT let them use the lot every night. I ended up calling LAPD and the police officer left me a voicemail saying he met with venues manager and confirmed they didnt have permit to barricade the City Lot. Manager denied about car search and said their security wouldnt block any car from going in/out... but yet they barricaded the entrance and utilized thugs to block. LAPD told me hes going to report this to their Illegal Valet Taskforce. I posted a picture of the City Lot sign, you can also see it on Google Maps (but I have no doubt The Echo will vandalize it) guard your rights if you wanna park here for $2.5 or free after 9pm.

Classic Los Angeles alternative and rock music venue! Its a tiny place so theres no bad spot, plus the drinks are cheap. Highly recommended!

Every band you thought was cool or will eventually be cool comes through these doors. From rising stars like Billie Ellish or legends like Beck you would be surprised who has played this nearly 15 year old venue which use to be a mexican resturant. Recently added metal detectors outside the door for saftey so just an fyi. Also if you sneak your camera in DONT USE FLASH. No photo pit so get there early.

This is a neat venue and it is pretty huge. Ive been going to the Hypnothesis shows here which are always awesome:) The dance floor is huge, they have a very large bar, and serve food, they even have vegan options. There is also a huge outdoor area, with tons of sitting. The staff and security are all very professional and friendly. There is a lot of parking, and most of the time its free.

I loved this venue! I saw Cherry Pools on 3/11 and loved the show. Some seating in the back. Smaller stage. Holds about 350 people so its kinda on the smaller side but I liked the atmosphere.

The Echo is an excellent venue, very intimate and dive-feel. Bartenders are great, the lounge area outside is a must. Very enjoyable venue overall.

Los Angeles staple for good music both old and new

Cool little venue. Good sound. Decent drink prices.

Performed here on August 15th 2019. Very dope venue. Cool staff...Good vibes. 80s club type atmosphere...

Always amazing. ALL types of shows, any you can imagine, emonite, Punk, twin peaks themed party, japanese artists, dubstep, YOU NAME IT. Sound is good, 2 bars so you dont wait too long to sip, security does a REMARKABLE JOB of keeping the area safe. I have seen them SO professionally come through so many times, cause the area is kind of loco with cracks and homeless people. Very good venue, well connected staff.

A stage dove and no one caught me lol.

This is my favorite music venue in the city. It beautiful, has amazing sound, and amazing acts come through. Particularly, bands whose sound fits the venue like the Old 97s, American Aquarium, and Larkin Poe have come through and had amazing shows. They also have reasonably priced drinks and parking, and they have free ear plugs if youre so inclined.

Great sound for live music. Good drink selection and beers on tap.

The amazing funk music, dancing, and vibes were good for the soul...

Great intimate experience. Parking was cheap and a breeze. Most fun Ive had on Sunset Blvd. since the 90s...

Awesome venue, great artists every night, and a PHOTO BOOTH!!!!

One of LAs best venues to see bands. Cool people and overall vibe

Such a nice and intimate venue, they had air co,conditioning which was great!

If you love live music, just go here. Enjoy!

Great music. Great prices.

The lower half that you enter to the rear nice place to dance and great air conditioning

Great atmosphere and friendly staff.

Been here a few times already and so far I have enjoyed the experience.

Aesthetically pleasing and anywhere you stand feels like your up close

Place was great! We went for emonite. But they never responded to my email about a list item.

Really cool venues to catch hip artists from out of town, or local bands about to make it big. The place offer some great beers and cheap pizza from the place next door, which I think is awesome if youre hungry from rocking out to much!

Great place... I loved the atmosphere. So much fun. Great music!! HOWEVER all our group of 8 people’s ears were hurting so extremely bad from how loud the music was. The crispy high ends were so piercingly loud we had to leave... I asked the bar to speak to the DJs and they said the DJs won’t listen. So we left.Really sad cause I loved the dancing and the 80s throwback vibe of this place. But with earplugs in I couldn’t hear what any of my friends were saying and without my ears hurt soooo bad :( I’m a producer and can handle some loud music but this loudness was legit dangerous. I don’t think I’ll come back for that reason, I don’t want it to permanently damage my hearing. Left 30 mins ago and my ears are still hurting as I type this!

Awesome! Great mix of people! DJ and hype man was !!!

Great area the group therapy show was amazing!!!

Great free live music

Small venue, really cool atmosphere.

Been coming to this venue on and off for along time and its a great venue for smaller acts

Sound is great! Climate is great! Just all around great venue!

Awesome live music venue.

Just went here for the first time recently and loved it! The back area is a great addition!

Loved it. Nice music, good food and drinks. Great service.

Tiny venue for live events and dance parties. We went on a funk night that had two DJs, one inside and one on the back patio. The sound quality (i.e. the speakers) should have had their levels tested a bit better, as both were completely out of sync for their environments. That said, it was nice to see so many people alive and dancing in a comfortable setting. Id definitely go back if I lived in the area.

Whlemt here for reggae music. It was live it was lit but do not come to after 11 p.m. unless you want to get in for free ladies.

Solid space for the acts that Ive seen there. Definitely more of the intimate vibe as the stage is not very high. Theres a food menu but I havent tried any of it.

Sound and size Dead Sara killed it..

It gets real cold inside. Take a sweater.

Great venue with awesome staff! Ive seen several bands here and I am never dissapointed!

Muddier room in terms of sound, but not necessarily in a bad way. Theres a lot of bass in their PA, which is a + for me

Great intimate venue!

The bar staff can be spotty at times, but they put on good shows, so its tolerable.

A cool little club in Echo Pk!

Im reviewing this establishment only for SATURDAYS. They host my FAVORITE funk and dancing party every Saturday night. Loads of people come here and dance their butts off. Always great music. Saturday nights is where the fun is at!FUNK SOLE!

This place is awesome. I usually go to Funky Sole on Saturday nights. Its probably one of the coolest groups of people Ive ever been around. People all dress different but everyone is having a good time and just vibing with each other. Mixed drinks are kind of weak and over priced, stick to the beer. Other than that its definitely my kind of place

Nice all-ages venue.

Im loving the new patio set up... great vibez..

Small venue with a dark disco feel. Nice outdoor patio. Mixed drinks too expensive.

Small space, but awesome vibe. The back portion outside is a great place to hang out. Funky Soul Night on Saturdays is a good time.

Great bar. The Vibe is nice and they have an outdoor and indoor area. Went for funk night and the music was amazing.

Cool intimate venue but pricey drinks

The Echo is a very inviting and comfortable venue. When I go there I know that I will have a good time, they have great food and drink selections and always grest music.

Cool spot, good time at the barber con they had there.

Awesome venue. Decently priced drinks. Good sound. Patio is nice. Emo Night the first Tuesday of the month is a lot of fun. Funky Sole on Saturdays fills your need to funk/soul.

My favorite spot for Wednesday night grass roots reggae and dancehall.

Both this and the echoplex are excellent. The word intimate is thrown around a lot to describe this place but there really is no better word. Its just roomy enough though, and the acts are almost always so scarcely known that everybody there is genuinely excited for every artist on the bill. (the REAL FANS, man...)

Fun free concerts most Monday nights with local up and coming LA bands. The sound system needs some serious improvements but for free its great. The beers are definitely overpriced though for a dive-bar music venue like it is. You can order pizza from the place next door and they have a great back patio with tables- its where most of the hipsters of silver lake and echo park go to smoke.

Its super chill not too small, and I LOVE that they have couches in the back. If you dont want to be right in front of the stage the step where the couches are is the perfect place to see everything!

Great music, good drinks

Good sound, nice view. Too crowded and small restrooms

Nice Atmosphere try it youll love it Denise Johnson from Washington DC

Ive seen a few bands here and its usually a really nice atmosphere. Lots of beers on tap. Good sound. A smoking patio where the music is not too loud.

You already knoooooow! Great bookings and DJ nights

I came for a concert, so the small venue was awesome. It was a little gross looking on the outside but inside was cleaner with ample seating and decent bathrooms. The bar made things a little sticky, as one girl near me kept spilling beer on my shoes and other people were getting pretty sloshed. But the ticket was cheap and the parking was free so who am I to complain? Would come again.

I saw a concert here with my friends once when I was young and we had fun.

Awesome spot local bands

First time there, great set up, need to go often.

Okay yall this place was so fun i saw conan gray tonight and he was so freekin perfect and it was the best time of my life

My new favorite venue, THANK YOU FOR LAST NIGHTS SHOW ! This is the reason hands down why I prefer going to rock shows in Los Angeles. I loved the venue, people, and just plain culture and music this place emits.GO TO A SHOW and stop reading my review

Perfection.Small, intimate. Good bar selection.Bad bar service, at least when I went.Interesting to find parking, but its Sunset so expect that.Overall, I loved my experience there
