What People Are Saying About Troubadour

The Scene – One of L.A.'s oldest clubs, the Troub established its reputation hosting singer-songwriters and rock bands. After an uncharacteristic stint hosting heavy metal in the '80s, it rebounded in the '90s breaking acts like No Doubt and Gomez. The all-ages policy means varied crowds, but a full bar ensures the over-21 contingent will feel right at home. For a bird's-eye view of the small stage, head to the bench-seating balcony. VIPs make their way to the Loft, where there are plenty of comfortable couches to sit on while watching the show through the window or on the television…

one of the best venues for music
by audiotaco
an intimate venue with their own box office so you can avoid the ridiculous ticketmaster markups. I have never seen a bad headlining performance in this venue and the sound is always up to par.
- Pros: never seen a bad headlining act here
- Cons: $7 for a heineken

Best Concert Venue
by lifeserial
The Troubadour is my most favorite place to see a live show in Los Angeles. It's famous for a reason. The sound system is pretty rad and their roster is usually chock full of respectable artists. The best part, though, is that there isn't a bad spot in the house. Whether you show up late and get stuck in the back or you come early, the stage is always mere feet from you. I guess I love that intimate feeling. The bonus to going early though is that you can snag a seat in the balcony. Everything else is standing room, but the balcony, practically hanging over the stage, makes you feel like an instant VIP. Lastly, if you like to drink, consider a pre-party with your pals beforehand; drink prices are a bit steep, even for a simple bottle of beer.
- Pros: Small, Intimate Venue
- Cons: Drink Prices

cozy concert venue
by juju13es
I came to this venue a few years back to watch Copeland, and I really liked it here. It's small enough to be personal, but not to make you feel claustrophobic (I had problems with that in previous concerts). Also, if you like a more laid-back concert environment, you watch from upstairs on the balcony. Also, the sound isn't too blaring where you can't hear at the end of the night.
- Pros: small, laid-back, balcony area
- Cons: parking

The usual bar food here, along with specialty dishes like hummus plates. Otherwise, hop over to Dan Tana's next door for old-school Italian steakhouse fare and possible celebrity sightings.
