Bravo 12/2/10
Mid-sized concert venue that has the best of the new music coming through. Get tickets when you can. Don’t worry who is playing, it will be great. -Mark Peel, Top Chef El Rey Theatre

There are plenty of parking options around the venue, including street parking if you’re lucky. Or, valet your car right in front for just $10.

Don't take it from us. @CHELSEAinLA says: "This place is awesome, around the corner from my apartment, and they have @redbull."

El Rey is one of LA’s best mid-size venues. Jollett of the Airborne Toxic Event says he’s never seen a bad show here. More importantly, “it’s one of the few places in LA that actually has class.”

An upstairs VIP balcony looks down over the grand ballroom. The all-ages venue usually features standing-room admission. The ballroom has a full bar, and another full bar in the fancy art deco lobby.
