Avalon Hollywood

As far as clubs go in Los Angeles and Hollywood area this one is not too bad. Now I will say I have only been to this club for Emo Nite which is a monthly event that is held at Avalon that plays Emo music and Emo remixes. I've probably been to about 5 Emo nites but some people try to go monthly as it is a fun event and brings all the Emo together. As far as the club the security is pretty typical. You make line on the side. The earlier you show up the shorter the line will be and less of a wait to get in there will be. They check your ID as it's 21 plus and you go through a metal detector. As long as there is no problems it's a pretty simple process. Once you walk in past the doors there is a bar outside the main club space and if you walk more inside you are inside the actual main club and there is a long bar right on the sides also. Most of the downstairs back area is tables and you won't be able to access those unless you have bottle service. The main dance floor is a decent size but does fill up pretty fast. For Emo Nite events they do typically sell out and once the show starts it can get pretty hot and crammed. Some people don't mind but if you are with people who maybe want a little more space and breathing room I would recommend to head up stair. For Emo Nite they open up the Bardot room and usually have a few bands and other artist performing and have another Dj up there. There are also multiple bars up there too so if it seems to be a long wait downstairs upstairs may be your next best option. If you want to see the main stage from upstairs there are also stadium type seats that are padded upstairs and they are all general admission. There are some tables in the very front but I have not seen them used very often and for the most part you can get lucky and stand right there in the front so it's a perfect spot to see all the action on the main stage but have space to yourself. Overall I don't mind this venue for Emo Nite. I have not been here for other events and I do see they have big name artist come but as mentioned it does get really packed downstairs for Emo Nite so I can just imagine how packed it gets when they have a big DJ perform here.

Music was solid, but it was specifically for a theme night. Crowd was primarily older people, and anyone in their 20s came in, took a look, and left. Wouldn't come here if you're under 35 :/Drinks were nice tho.Bouncers were dicks. We were all waiting in line together and they were about to let us in after checking our ids but another guy comes in and says we weren't in line and to go back. This new bouncer came from inside the club and had no idea who was in line, but somehow decided half of us need to go back but the other half were allowed to go in?

Drinks suck ass, they pour very little alcohol in a little cup for $16. Surrounding parking lots are $50 and expect to get your car dinged because the parking lot is way too small. Only thing nice about this place is the bathroom.

Saw Cash Cash here and had a great experience. I think they also had another little area with a different dj if you don't like the main one. I like the venue but the parking next door was pretty expensive. We ended up finding street parking maybe a 5 minute walk away

Avalon Hollywood is a fun venue to go to for dj sets. Drinks are overpriced but that's just California. I definitely want to go again

In town for the night and we wanted to party. We decided on this place and took an Uber here just to be told at the door that they were closed to outsiders for a private event. We were kinda bummed. That's something you should advertise.It was raining too. The bouncer was nice enough to let us stand by the heater until our Uber arrived.

I like Avalon because of the space. It's not like Academy or Exchange with overcrowded dance floors, which I find so annoying. I hope Avalon continues to respect their max capacity. Besides the huge dance floor, there is an upstairs balcony with wide bench seating. It's a place to cool down, but you can't smoke up there.The girls restroom is on one side, and the guys restroom is on the other side. There's a bar in the back lounge area; there are smaller bars on either side of the front dance floor. I like going to the back because there is more room and usually you can get your drink faster. Parking - Hollywood has some street parking spots. There is a lot nearby that attracts Avalon or Pantages patrons, but it can be $20-40. I would Uber. Even if you get dropped off on the other side of the street, there is a crosswalk that makes it safer. Music - It really depends on the night. I usually come here when they are hosting events. They've had events like Emo Nite, Netflix is a Joke, Taylor rave, Bollywood etc. They've had top DJs like Kaskade, Mitis, Nurko, etc.Tickets - Def buy tickets ahead if you want to go. If they happen to sell out, I think you can buy at the door (credit cards are accepted), but it'll be marked way higher.

Beautiful Old Hollywood venue. Massive dance club. Different vibes on different nights: so check who's playing or DJ'ing to make sure it fits your taste. Best staff service in Hollywood: especially the managers. Young crowd. Always fun!

Avalon Hollywood is an iconic venue with an amazing atmosphere and outstanding acoustics. The staff is friendly and professional, and the historical charm adds a unique vibe. It's the perfect place for concerts and events, definitely worth a visit. I've been to three concerts here, and each time I was thrilled that the performance was held at Avalon. Parkin is available nearby-some spots are pricey (to the right of the building), while others are more affordable (to the left). If you're attending a concert, I highly recommend reserving a cheaper spot in advance

My wife and I have been here multiple times and it's always been good vibe. Entering was quick and organized, never had any issues. They've had a lot of "themed" raves which I think was a nice experience. Hopefully that's not completely taken away with the partnership with Insomniac. Plenty of room on the dance floor along with the top floor balcony area. We've unfortunately never tried the food, but the drinks are not bad.
