Gaslamp

I love the Gaslamp. The first time we came here was to see the Atomic Punks play. My husband and I have since seen other bands play, and I have to say, the bands that we have seen play there are EXCEPTIONAL. If you go on their website and see a group for music that you like, give it a shot - it will be worth it. The musicians are very talented and properly called "tribute" bands for that reason - they truly sound like/perform in the style of the artists themselves. We make the drive from Ventura County just to come here. The cocktails are okay, sometimes too sweet and watered down, but average for the price compared to other places. My advice would be to enjoy some nice beer or be specific on what you want for your cocktails. It can get extremely busy on show nights, so it may take a moment to get a drink at the bar.I would highly suggest making table reservations in advance, because on Friday/Saturday nights, it gets very busy, especially when some great bands are there, so you might wind up standing if you don't. It's also nice to have a server who will come bring you drinks, so you're not waiting for a while at the bar.We recently actually ate food here, and were pleasantly surprised. Angus burger was tasty and juicy, filet mignon tips were tender and flavourful, fries were pretty fresh, the food arrived hot and quickly as well. We saw some other dishes go by which also looked delicious and well-presented, so the next time we return here, we will be sure to try something else. All in all, this is an entertainment venue, so I would prioritize the review based on that over anything else. The musicians they have might not be everyone's taste, but they offer a very good variety if you're a person that appreciates good music, not most of the garbage played on the radio today. Cover charges/ticket prices are pretty fair, depending on who's playing. Would advise you to bring cash.Some things to keep in mind:They offer Sunday brunch. They have themed shows or events on other nights as well, like line dancing. The parking can get pretty full on nights with popular shows (like Saturdays), so it's best to arrive early, go in one car if you're with other people, or taxi here. Of all the times we have been here, the crowds have also been pretty tame. It's never once felt like edm nightclub from Hollywood.

We loved the food and the live 80s music band that played (knight Ryder)The DJ played awesome music and the floor was filled with happy people dancing their cares away on a Friday NightWill definitely visit again

This review is based primarily on the Brunch On Vinyl event Sunday. I'm not sure if it'll be every month (check the Gaslamp website) but if you're into vinyl records this is an easy place to find some records & related merch. Ample parking, no entry fee, several vendors, a DJ & the option to enjoy brunch or have a drink at the bar. After a friendly greeting from the young lady at the front desk my boyfriend & I headed to the back of the bar area. He found albums to add to his collection ranging from classic rock to the obscure presented in boxes & crates on long tables. The lighting could be a bit better but it is a bar venue after all. The brunch menu has an array of choices & going by the handful of dinners I've had here the brunch dishes are probably quite tasty (not low-priced but what is these days?) So, if you're into Bloody Mary's or Blood, Sweat & Tears you can enjoy either or both if they do this again.

I love Gaslamp and 80s night especially when the band, Knyght Ryder is playing on Friday nights. My go to spot when I'm visiting Long Beach. This place is definitely a vibe, always the best time here every time I visit! The drinks are on point, love the dessert, and service is great. Make sure to make a reservation. I always request for the booth.

Looking for a place to go with live music and found this on yelp. Plenty of parking outside as they are the only establishment in that structure. Went on a Friday night, Knyght Ryder was playing. Doors open at 6pm. There is a cover charge of $15.00. It's definitely worth it! The band was versatile and full of energy. The band started playing later that than expected, around 9:40pm. However, there's a DJ playing before the band started and in between sets. They sang mostly 80's popular hits and DJ was playing '80s, '90s and early '00s. Food selection is decent. Visit their website for the list of performances in the future. Overall, it was a great experience and will surely comeback!

2nd time coming here and it was way better when you make reservations to have seats it makes a big difference also it depends on who the cover band is last time we came it was for Queen and it was ridiculous packed and no room at all even standing I highly recommend making reservations for a table and make sure you tip the waitress that way you get good service.

Fun place. Live music on Sunday afternoons.A bit crowded like all venues on Friday and Saturday nights. Also, food is terrific

Wanted to see the Knyght Rider 80s coverband on a Friday night. Paid Entry free to get in. Ordered my drinks and chilled.Had such a good time! Nostalgic vibes from the 80s. Bartender was really nice and attentive, I was treated nicely. Overall, I would come back. Definitely a good place to watch cover bands. 4 out 5 stars. Only because I did not eat at this establishment.

The food is just okay but they have a good line up of cover bands and it's one of the only places in LA to go dancing if you're over 30. It's a sh*t show most busy nights but that's to be expected anywhere in LA Co. Fun cover bands gets the three stars and the giant parking lot and ability to reserve tables gets the fourth.

We love line dancing here on Thursdays and 80's night on Fridays. It's always very busy, but the service is excellent. The crowd is all ages. Lots of regulars. Food is delicious! Bartender, Jesse, makes the best espresso martini. Go check it out, you won't be disappointed.
