I went to see Summer Walker last night. It was a sold out show and all the staff was great. They made the line to get in really fast and efficient. I had seats in the balcony section. It was a great view and had actually seats instead of standing in General Admission which I always prefer. Would definitely come watch another show here. SF has limited parking but thats nothing new.

This theater is only 15 minutes from Downtown LA. Its in the heart of LA.Parking was easy got to the venue 15 minutes before the door opened and the parking lot was practically empty. If you arrive later I think parking might be difficult the streets were full when I drove around the venue might be a bit of a walk.The Venue is great they have 3 different rooms each with a progressively larger stage in it. Staff was nice and friendly too.The venue has a bar so you can get your drink onIll definitely be coming back if they host another show Im interested in

Went to a concert in February. This place is great. Real good sound and the security staff is fantastic. These guys make it easy to access ADA. My family and I go to a ton of concerts all over the country and so far this place hits my too 10 for ADA treatment. Only negative I can add is all the panhandling out front but cant blame the venue. Drinks and food about average for Area however parking is pricey if you have large truck or SUV.

Here to see Bianca Del Rios comedy show! Venue is huge! Photos of past famous performers grace the entrance way and walls. They stamp you with an over 21 mark and theres a bar on every floor. I booked my ticket last minute and literally am in the back of the balcony yet I still have a great view! Theres so much space in here from the aisles to the ceiling. And the seats are incredibly comfortable. Youll enjoy your show here for sure if not just for the ambience.

The sound was wonderful, the staff was friendly, and the music was incredible! Drinks aren’t too expensive and the venue had the perfect balance of space & business to make it feel energetic without feeling overwhelming.

The establishment is upstairs and has a very speakeasy feel to it . They have a descent craft beer menu and the pool tables are well maintained and excellent . Its a perfect hangout if you want to have a few drinks with your friends or possible a first date . atmosphere of room can give daters or couples a hint of intimacy but still keeping it fun . Definitely going back here again .

Interesting place. The first room has a bunch of bunk beds for people to sit and lay on. Its unusual, interesting I guess, but seems like its trying to be very different. The venue itself was good though.

Awesome venue with a great atmosphere. Love the theater seats in the back with still lots of room for a nice pit.

In a weeks time I have now been to the Bootleg twice. This is a great space for both small theatre type performances and bar stage shows! An interesting line up of performers, superior sound quality, nice beer selection, friendly staff. Even free street parking!!

Ive seen several concerts at Bootleg throughout my time here in L.A. Theres always an inviting atmosphere, a diverse crowd, a professional staff, and a nice selection of cold drinks from the bar when I attend. The restrooms are easily accessible, and Ive never had any issues that I can recall with anyone or anything at the venue. I recommend seeing a show there.

This has been a great venue to see my favorite podcaster. Intimate seating with respect to the stage, several separate rooms, and a general low-key atmosphere makes it a pleasant space. Its been a surprisingly good venue to avoid sensory overload.

A fun place to watch Bar Wrestling.

Ive been here twice for the same show. Every time the Bootleg has been amazing. There are some renovations currently happening and the place looks really good. The staff are super helpful and friendly. This is a great place to see a show or host a show.

Saw Liniker..amazing show. I love the location and space as well. The DJ was wacky and a little boring, the second band was great, but not right for the crowd.

Staff were great and the performances were awesome. #beatrock

Giving it four stars because generally if you scan your ticket here you can leave and come back in, which can be problematic when the tickets and website said the preshow and main event start at a certain time, only to get there to discover that theyre both starting 2 hours late and you cant leave to go get food to pass the time. Ugh. Its a cool venue though and has some tiered seating which is first come.

The fact that i got to see LOVING live here is all i could ask for, the venue is inviting and parking isnt a hassle like most places

Best indie bands in the world will come through the bootleg. Great space for seeing a show

The Sound is great & the booze is affordable

What a venue, tiny little spot with a capacity of 150. There are seats in the back, if you get there early you may be able to grab one at the very back so you can sit and still have an amazing view of the stage. But, Id rather stand at a venue like this. I seen Amyl & The Sniffers, a great Australian punk band, and there was perfect room for a good mosh pit and still comfortable standing room for us more placid folk. Look, if theres a band playing there that you like, dont dare miss it, youll only regret it. This spot is perfect for intimate live music, a cold beer or cocktail, and a brilliant night out.

Very cool theater. Many theaters around here have extremely long lines or long waits to get in. This place not only has good prices but they also have someone checking to make sure its not going crazy out of control. Crowd control is important in a place like LA.

Seen a lot of shows here for the past 10 years or so. In the small bar stage, it has a couple tables and stools in a corner. In the main stage theres a limited number of stadium type seats and the majority of that room is the floor. Seen El Ten Eleven in the small stage area eons ago, Black Midi was my most recent show Ive seen there and were incredible. Just not the best part of town to hang out after hours.

A very fun place to hang out! Singers on stage take requests, you get drunk, you have a fun time. Really will grow on you, went here two nights in a row. Old school large bar. Only good for beer/wine, mixed drinks were weak. Great place to go with a large party, they have tons of room.

Unique music and theater venue with amazing atmosphere, great people and new shows and artists all the time. Big love to this place.

Love this place. Great small & intimate shows/performances.

I think this place is very special. very cool place.and I love a lot of the bands that come here

Best concert of my life. Saw Craig Finn.A M A Z I N G

Cool little venue. Really enjoyed the show!

Funky place with an artsy vibe. Excellent venue for live music. Friendly staff and bartenders.

A low key place that doesnt really offer anything special. The big room was blocked off when I was here. The staff is nice though.

I had a wonderful time here. The bar tender was cool (too bad I didnt have any cash to tip him for the water). The Michael Brooks show was awesome. Hope this place has success.

I dont know if Ive just been in one of its performance spaces before or if theyve expanded but that place seems HUGE now. Good sound. I now see why its call a theater.

Really cool intimate venue. You can park outside on the street. The staff is always friendly.

Lots of space inside. they had free parking directly across the street (behind a church maybe?)

Watched Bar Wrestling here.. fantastic venue! Tip for the guys.. theres port o potties out in the smokers area that go relatively unnoticed. Def coming out again

Great venue, great bands/events. Free parking across the street behind the church.

Small atmosphere. I got to meet my favorite musician while he was waiting in line for the bathroom

One of the best sounding venues in Los Angeles to come see a band perform

What an amazing venue! I went there to see a band called TWRP. they had some of the best sound Ive heard and the employees were very helpful. A man who Im guessing was the manager came out and talked to everyone in line and told us he would try to get us in as fast as possible. Also his dog was adorable. Highly recommend.

Great atmosphere. Has a comfy outside patio to socialize and take a smoke break.

There are essentially three spaces to this venue. When you first walk in there is a merch area and seating with tables and chairs. Also in this front room is an atm and a ping pong table. This is a good area for conversations while waiting for bands to go on. Or if a band genuinely sucks and you need to retreat.Continue from that room past the bathrooms and into another large room where alcohol and non-alcoholic beverages can be purchased. Sound from the show is piped into this room. Loud enough that conversations needed to be shouted.The last room is the main stage space. The sound is pretty good. Vocals were a bit loud this night. The floor space is more wide than it is deep for standing room. There are seats that are tiered like a theater.Overall, would definitely go back. Chill people. Front door cashier let me buy vinyl from him before the headlining band finished up (with cash only).

Went to a Bar Wrestling event at this location. Event was well set up, Location had 2 stages for concerts and musical acts. Tequila shot was $9. Definitely a spot to check out for a concert and drinks or Bar Wrestling

Awesomeness in one word

Great venue! And amazing evening by the LA ladies arm wrestling

Great venue!! really interesting artists booked here. Ive been here to see & hear everything from lambchop to wild jazz to incredible live instrumental accompaniment for movies to chamber opera to an in depth lecture by the one & only dr. cornel west. this is, by far, one of my favorite venues in LA.

This is really an interesting place.

I loved this place. I would recommend it to friends and family. They have free parking. And there music is pretty amazing. And the people there are pretty cool to talk. And the drink are amazing. I will for sure come back. And I will never forget the experience I had. You will be glad you went to this amazing place.

The Bootleg Theatre is a great venue!!! And recently saw Appleseed Cast!!! The people there are so friendly

Any time I have friends bands or bands I like tour through SoCal they seem to end up at Bootleg, like magic. Staff is always cool. Definitely my favorite spot to catch a show in LA.

My first impression of this space was fantastic. Warm and inviting. Saw a great show and had a great time. Ill be back!

Interior theater is super nice, great sound.

The time on the tickets is the door time not the show time. Be aware that if you arrive early you will be waiting outside a while. Area is sketchy so be sure to park as close to the venue as possible or in the church lot they advertise. Nice sound, friendly staff, interesting place.

Great venue for many bands, Ive been here twice. I would recommend.

Love this space! Only drawback is parking. * I cant answer the owners response for some reason so I am editing to say....NO. I did not use the large free lot across the street. In all the years that I have been going to the Bootleg, I had no idea there was a large free lot across the street. Maybe your large events...such as my beloved Secret City...could tell their patrons? Im certainly going to keep it a secret. Everyone who is reading this....SHHHHH! Now we know where to park!

Great performance place, spacious and creative vibe

It was a very funky place but the vibe was cool, people were very chill, and the music venue was actually quite professional. Multiple stages with unique, bohemian setups. Bartenders are good and selection of beer and drinks is better than I expected. Quality of sounds and lights were great, its a very intimate performance theater.

Terrific theater space. Weve attended events here a number of times. Always easy to park too

Cute spot. Went to see Blaktinx.

First of all its LA so parking can get tricky. BUT theres a sign pointing at the street across from the venue where parking is possible. Youll find a basketball court parking lot there that seemed to have ample parking. You can park along the street which has enough room for exactly one car to come through.Hard finding the sign at night. My night was raining so maybe not so hard on a regular night.The entrance has a cool main lobby with a projector playing a movie. It sucks there are only 2 bathrooms which only 1 can use at a time. Next smallish room has a small stage and bar. The next one after this room had bleachers which were cool and a medium sized room for whatever this place is hosting.The bar was priced like any other bar. Nothing to write home about. Not really much to comment on. It doesnt try to be fancy.It gets the job done.

I enjoyed my show there, service and prices were good

Awesome venue. Saw Judge John Hodgman podcast taping there. Really liked the setup they have there and the intimate vibe.

Such a great place to enjoy an event. Bar service, smoking area, friendly service. Nice intimate mood. I will be returning.

Nice size for a show. All the seats are good. The sound mix is usually good. Every opening band Ive seen here has been awful.

Dizzy Wright and everyone on the NobodyCaresWorkHarder tour killed the show, brought good vibes to this place last night. It was a great time.

Interestingly small place. I actually very much enjoy this venue, especially for concerts, because its very intimate and cozy. Some people would probably say it looks a bit bad at the front, and looks a bit patchwork, but Ive been to many concerts and Id say Id love to go here again. Especially if The Manx plays here regularly.

Great little venue. The staff is nice, the room is comfortable, and the bar is reasonably priced for a venue. If a concert is slated for 8:30 the first band usually goes on at 9:30, but check social media a few hours before and you might find set times.

First time there. I took my teenage son to see his favorite band. Good venue for music, and it looks like th hey have a very active and diverse artistic community using the space. I will go back. (Clubs are so much cleaner now.)

They do fun stuff here

Went to see a one man show actor friend was performing. Excellent show and the space is great! The physical space reminds me of the multitude of off-off Broadway places in NY, in the 70s. This theatre deserves support! Check out their website.

Small venue that almost never disappoints

Great venue for concerts! Great sound and vibe!

Fantastic venue, drinks are reasonable, staff was friendly, relaxed atmosphere.They dont serve liquor, but have some really great beer/wine selections.Friendly bartender with pretty good selection.

Great Live performances very Fun venue!

Great venue. We love to see Bar Wrestling here!

Great venue. A total gem.

The original gentrifiers of our community.

Love this place, I did my prom there

One of my favorite venues for music in this town. Has a wonderful relaxed atmosphere which is very unique compared to the push & pull of many music venues in this town. Here you can relax and just enjoy the live music in your own time. Highly recommended if your sick of standing in line over at the Roxy, Troubadour, Whisky A Go-Go.

Nice venue to see your favorite band before they blow up.

Great small venue to see up-and-coming bands as well as established acts! Youll love being able to see them up close. Decent beer selection - though pricey, outdoor patio when you need some air, and go meet the band members at the merch table after their set.

Small on the outside big on the inside.

Amazing space with quality performances.

Gorgeous venue and layout. Interesting flux of comings and goings with various artists.

This place is awesome.The seatings ares interesting. Relaxing atmosphere.

The theater was a normal theater nice and cool but you only have one refill after you pay to refill popcorn and drinks which is cheap.

A little something for everyone

The space itself is fine. There is no place to sit down really when the bands are not playing. You can go into the other room with screens playing stuff on the walls. I went there for a really amazing performance of Robbie Fitzsimmons and bent knee and it was amazing!

Bootleg is a great smaller venue on the east side. From the smaller front room the cavernous, church gym-like back room youre going to get a good show from their well curated line up.Bonuses- Parking is plentiful whether on the street on in a nearby lot for a few bucks. The bar has a bit of a concession stand feel but they serve great beers... and a lot IN the bottle!

This place sounds great! The staff are some of the sweetest most unpretentious people I have encountered in LA. The back patio is cozy.

The Flamenco Artists were superb!!!They had a better stage to work on since the first time. Full house! Good sign! They have to make sure their ticket staff knows what theyre doing. The young lady last nite didnt have a clue! She couldnt make my credit card submission of $80.00 work on her cell phone thingie! She kept asking me for cash. Thank God my assistant found an ATM near by. It was very embarrassing to me. Im a well known Flamenco dancer! I will have to think twice before attending a performance there again. Also, we noticed extremely trash filled areas very close to the theater. The Cityof Los Angeles and President Trump should do something about that. The smell coming from the piles if old trash was really bad!Thank God the Flamenco Artists were awsome!!!Juan Talavera

Good small theater to see live music.

Nice theater for smaller acts.

If there is a band or performer you know who is coming here dont miss seeing them in this intimate venue. Parking is easy, all areas have a decent view. The area is nothing fancy but thats good cause parking is easy and there isnt any hassle getting there etc.

I’ve been multiple times and I cannot recommend more.

Bootleg was a surprise the first time I went. I had the opportunity to see Phi Slamma Jamma and DJ Windows 98 back in 2014. Incredible venue, drinks, and ambience!Since the first time attending, I make an effort to see new upcoming artists and events. This place is the spot!

Surprisingly awesome warehouse type theatre.

Cool space!! Cocktails and great music!

Ive been here multiple times and is always the first place I hit up with friends when going out. The bartenders are nice, prices are reasonable, and its a great meet up spot if your planning on bar hopping in little Italy.

Awesome venue expect the drums and bass to be strong bartender was chill

I loved the space..It was my first visit there.
