The Wiltern is as beautiful a music venue can be, both in its sound and aesthetics. Built in the early 1930s, it has stood the test of time and continues to marvel in contemporary times. Ive seen so many shows at the Wiltern, it never gets old and you will be taken back to a time when things were simple, yet feels so new. I recently saw Elbow there, and they sounded amazing, and all because of amazing people who have kept it alive and captivating for all who enter its doors.

I was supposed to see Lukas Graham perform here back in Feb. 2019 but unfortunately they had to reschedule for Oct. 2019. I was going to be abroad during that time so I had to ask for a refund. Everything went super smoothly got my refund and I was able to keep the CDs they were giving out with the purchase! I walk by here all the time since I live close by and it’s so sweet that with what’s currently going on they put signs to stay healthy and songs that are epic during the covid era! Love this place and hope to one day be able to enjoy a concert inside!

Love the music on the jukebox. Indie rock, 80s glam rock, hell, even some George Thorogood. Very dark, basic, unpretentious bar. Nice strong drink pours here too.

What a beautiful, historic theater with friendly staff. It felt like I was in a movie from the 1930s. It’s taken me decades to finally visit this famed theater and it was wonderful. My favorite part of the experience was that the theater is located right at the Wilshire/Western Metro stop. So I got to park my car for free at the North Hollywood station and then take a relaxing train ride directly to my concert. This is the way that LA should operate! A fantastic evening at a super-elegant, classy venue.

Beautiful theater! Great venue to see concert. Intimate setting. Lounge areas, cocktails, soft drinks. Nice patio smoking area. Excellent / very friendly staff. Highly recommend.

Really beautiful venue, love the art deco architecture and design of it. Went there to see LA natives Silversun Pickups, who were amazing. Sat at the very top and the seats were pretty comfortable. Would definitely go back here again.

The iconic Wiltern will completely dazzle you with their interior, comparative of old style, classic, upscale Hollywood. Absolutely gorgeous! The staff is extremely helpful and seem happy to be there! The shows are nothing but quality and I had the privilege of seeing this genius performance featured on the marquee, and am looking forward to a return trip! Thanks all! A great place for great fun!!!

A classic concert venue dating back to 1931. The way seats are structured here, the balcony seats are actually good seats both as far as audio and seeing whats going on onstage. Beautiful Art Deco details, lovingly restored. Just dont buy drinks or snacks here...way overpriced. This is why I knocked off a star. Prices are extortionate.

THE WILTERN THEATRELos Angeles Historic Cultural Monument (LAHCM) #118 and Art Deco-Style Movie PalaceBuilt in 1931 and named for its location at the intersection of Wilshire Boulevard + Western Avenue. Art Deco architectural style.I had often seen The Wiltern while driving past the theatre on Wilshire Blvd or Western Ave. It looked like a run-down old theatre to me, probably playing very old movies from back in the day. Then one day I finally got a chance to go inside and discovered this GORGEOUS ART DECO PALACE inside!! =O

I watched the Beatles tribute on December 11th. The venue is spectacular with a roaring 20s cosmopolitan feel to the decor. It felt like an intimate show even with a 2000+ seating capacity. I will come back again

The Wiltern was a nice theater to host the Madonna tour.... only con was the AC was off making it very hot for concert goers. But, I’m presuming it’s because of the artist. I would recommend this theater.

Great location, easy to get to from the 10 freeway, although the 10 is a difficult freeway. Parking is right next to Wiltern and was $25 for the Sabaton event.Theres a lot nearby, restaurants and bars included, and all in walking distance.Inside is very nice with an elegant bar. We sat in the mezzanine and had a great view! Acoustics are nice in their auditorium, the entire show had great sound!

Its another of the many classic beautiful theaters we are lucky to have in Los Angeles. They share much in common. Sound is best on the floor, and better toward the center. Balcony suffers. Bathrooms are always too few in these old theatres, especially if you drink beer! One thing they do well at the Wiltern is the bars. There are numerous bars and the wait in line is minimal. Food is nothing, so eat before you come. The time showing on your ticket is when the doors open so save the wait in the long line that goes down the block and come 45 minutes later.

Great place to see a concert, the decor is delightfully old-school and the sound is decidedly new school (booming speaker walls!) Be sure to walk all the way down to The Underground Bar before the show.

Great venue! We parked next door at Ralph’s, which was super easy (not the cheapest, but worth the convenience). Clean venue, friendly staff, gorgeous decor. There was a line before the door opened, but it moved quickly. The security staff did a great job getting everyone through.

A wonderful show with Chris Botti. He has so many talented artists performing with him! Delightful show with only two complaints, both related to the venue. (1) the sound balance was quite off at the beginning, where Chris was totally overpowering his violinist and pianist (thankfully corrected after about 15 minutes), and (2) the Mezzanine seating is very uncomfortable if you are tall. My knees were jammed into the seat jn front of me. Though it is an old art-deco theatre and I admit the sight lines from the mezzanine were quite good.

My wife and I had a great time seeing the Horrorpops, great sound and an awesome historical venue

Awesome venue with a lot of character.I went to the Kevin O’Leary event today and had never been to the Wiltern before but it was great!It had the charm of an early 1900’s theatre and amenities of a modern theater!

A gorgeous Art Deco event venue. I’ve always loved the gorgeous exterior but was thrilled to see the stunning interior during a movie screening of Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid thanks to the LA Conservancy’s Last Remaining Seats. Stunning building with so many gorgeous details.

Great venue, the sound was a little too much echo but everyone there was nice and very efficient. Didnt have to wait long at all before getting through the doors and we were wrapped around the building.

Amazing experience, Switchfoot put on a hell of a show and couldnt have been better service.As far as venues go, its on the bigger side of mid size venues. Acoustics were amazing. Its just big enough where a good lighting guy can make the show, but Muse would have a hard time putting on all of their visual show that theyre known for.A perfect 7/5

Its a beautiful art deco theater that always makes me feel like Im underdressed till I remember its 2020 and Im seeing a rock band. Love the feel of history and there isnt a bad place to view a show. Its takes a great sound guy to manage the room but it can sound amazing. It can also sound awful..

Awesome venue! Has an old school theater vibe in the lobby area. Plenty of room to stand with a good view. Beware of the beers, they fill them through the bottom, so if you touch the bottom of the cup the beer will spill. Bar available inside the concert at the back.

Beautiful historical building! No elevator so not disable friendly for second level. But really nice place!

Took my parents here for K-Love Christmas and it was memorable, despite the rain. The theater was very intimate.

This old school Hollywood theater is an amazing venue. Weve seen Carly Rae Jepson there and had a blast

Came here for a concert. What a beautiful venue! One of the simpler venues to get in and out of in the LA area. Within two miles of the freeway. Parking was easy, albeit semi expensive (around$20 on the night I went) in the parking structure right next door. Can hold a lot of people but doesnt feel too big. I loved coming here!

I had the chance to watch Madonna Madame X at this unique theater, seats are close to the stage so you can see almost all details on the stage. Very authentic and so Hollywood ambiance.

The wilderness of fabulous theater to come back to Ive always found the seeds comfortable and viewing from all sides to be excellent. The photos are of the fabulous Deco style art they integrated into the construction.

Great place to see a show but beer was $18 a pint!

Went to see the 20th anniversary of the matrix here with my girlfriend and it was such an awesome , classic, amazing venue the way the lobby looks is so old school retro feel in the best way possible. If you live in LA and haven’t gone here yet definitely check it out!

Great show..! The room is beautiful, great service had a table and a waitress, pre show taco bar.. Epic.... the staff is above and beyond duty.. super helpful . PS I Love me some Jamey Johnson...

Historically Los Angeles gem. Small, greatplace to see anybody I was there to see Joe Jackson he was amazing. More amazing recently revisited Wiltern its the same small great venue to have a historically good time at a L.A. gem. It is kind of trivial to know how they named theWiltern. Dah its on the corner of Wilshire &Western Av. Go figure? Lets call it the Wiltern theater.

The architecture of this place is very beautiful. Every nook and cranny of this place is just spectacular. Its one of the few landmarks in Los Angeles that is still standing. And they provide the best shows as well.

Beautifully restored and kept up. Parking was easy, getting out was easy. Keep in mind that this venue is old, so there are no big screens. Buy floor seats and you will be good.

Great theater that teaches one of the most amazing Cinema Make up art.The students work shown here was just for one of their fun projects. Amazing people are being taught the new industry.

I just had the best experience one can have! The Nutcracker was excellent!! I like that the Wiltern has many bar areas and the bathrooms were easy to use. I cant wait until my next visit.

Easy to get in and out of. Convenient parking. Located in a safe part of town. Food options within walking distance. Tight security.

The Wiltern is a beautiful venue. Great staff and atmosphere too. My only issue with it is that it has a poor “floor” section. The mezzanine and pit areas are what you’d expect but not the floor. It’s divided into tiers which are only about 1 step about each other and the individual tiers are pretty much level (not sloped) and are all about the same height as the stage. Unless you are right up against the barriers of each tier or are really tall expect to have an obstructed view of the stage. Still enjoyed myself immensely but there are other venues which will give you a much better floor experience.

SUch an amazing place to watch a movie. We watched The Matrix for its 20th Anniv

Beautiful Historical Venue. Kamala Harris had her Presidential Rally at the Wiltern.

Awesome venue! Very strict with standing in direct way of other people

First time here to see The Wall on the big screen and its a beautiful theater! Thank you for a wonderful evening very well planned!!

The Beatles White album tour with Christopher Cross, Todd Rundgren.... need I say more? The Wiltern is an outstanding Art Deco location and cornerstone of Los Angeles history.

This is a nice venue for concerts. Good acoustics, beautiful architecture. Holds about 2500. Standing only on the floor (for most shows) and reserved seating in loge and mezzanine. Theyre arent any bad seats. Restrooms and concessions on upper and lower levels.Dont think theres any free parking, but I paid $20 to park in a structure across the street just a few hundred feet from the entrance. Saw Dermot Kennedy here. He gets 10 stars out of 5!

Simply the most amazing venue in So Cal! Gorgeous facility and incredible sound from every seat in the house!

Great venue for a concert! Absolutely beautiful building full of history.

We came to check out She and Him. The venue is great, the lobby is very spacious and offer great food and drinks. You can’t have a bad seat here. The layout is great and the different levels provide a clear view of the stage.

Well I only wet it there for a job interview.But the building that Ive driven past for 20 years.Ive never been inside until last week.fidget so beautiful and glamorous the interview is at the VIP section and send the basement its all rare marble inside and out.I can see why it would be so much fun to go to.And FYI I got the job

One of the best venues in LA. Love this place, dont think there is a bad seat in the house.

This is one of the coolest places to watch live music. I love the look of the building, inside and out. Im always looking for a reason to go back. Also, theres tons of good restaurants nearby.

Perfect place for an intimate show. The bar downstairs is a great place to kick back and chat, and view some if the legends that have played there before. Beautiful Art Deco style inside and out. An A1 rating.

The Hozier concert had a line that went around the garage and it still didnt take long for us to get in once doors opened. When we got there, we were directed by staff without having to ask, and once inside, lines were neatly organized with ticket scanners followed by directions on which floor to use to most easily find our seats. The bar staff was friendly and quick, and we left impressed with the customer service and efficiency of everyone who works there. Gorgeous concert venue too.

Love the old historic buildings; they have so much more character!

Gorgeous old Deco theater has 3 levels, including a cozy downstairs bar lounge full of photos of artists who performed there Amazing architectural design. Great acoustics. Well worth the trip into Little Korea district.

A lively authentic theatre that hosts cool events.

Nice mid-sized venue to see concerts at.

Beautiful and the parking was less than 2 minutes away! Had an excellent night!

This is my first time at the Wiltern theater and we saw Dire Straits in concert. This historical landmark has impressive architectural details throughout the entire building. First floor, lobby, upstairs, outside. Hands down it is quite an artistic feat. The auditorium had good acoustics and visibility was also great. The best located in the lobby was easy to get to during intermission and the bar tenders where sporting big smiles and eager to suggest or recommend a drink id you are uncertain or just feeling adventurous and want to try something completely new for a change. The Wiltern is located in the heart of downtown Los angeless by Miracle mile and just east of Korea town. If you like to bike ride there your fine since former mayor Villaraigosa and with the ending help of Edward Bagley Jr LA is officially a bike town with well marked bike lanes, metro bikes or hulu bikes you can rent anywhere and take on Buses or the metro anywhere. Lastly automotive drivers are aware of cyclists. In short id love to see another performance at the Wiltern.

We came to the Wiltern see a concert. Its a beautiful landmark venue.

Great music venue with beautiful decor. Recently enjoyed Elvis Costello and The Imposters. Close to the Metro Red Line and easy to find.

Awesome venue, looks small but once inside it feels so big. Great vibes and definitely a must go to venue if you wanna attend a concert

Cool place, Ticketmaster and Livenation put on great shows at this venue. Not too big and not too small.

Other than being located in the worst place for parking this place is a Gem! My best friend is in a wheel chair and in some venues they dont accommodate her well. Thats absolutely not the case at The Wiltern! They made our experience with ADA so awesome! We came to see the growlers and they hooked us up! She got a great view with zero hassle. They also offer cocktail and drink service on the floor level... so awesome! Especially if you dont want to give up your spot. The acoustics from the floor level were great. I will definitely be back to see other shows!

Cool venir, not too big, not too small. Beautiful art deco interior.

Excellent venue but should allow ins and outs and have a better food selection inside and take $2-4 off all the drink costs. With these exceptions the wilderness is an excellent historical location !!

This place is super nice and all the staff was extremely helpful and super nice. I came to L.A to see Ciara Work a stage for her beauty Marks album tour 9/17. I left my tickets all the way back home in vegas. But the staff was extremely enthusiastic in helping me get my tickets and VIP Parking pass. I was extremely mad at myself for leaving the tickets but the friendly staff help me all the way to the end..This place is very classic place. And the food service for the V.I.P Ticket holders was very good.

Nice old style theater located in the center of Los Angeles.

A stunningly beautiful venue. Classic art deco that everyone in southern California must go to at least once. We had general admission tickets and the process was very straight forward. Parking is typically expensive but easy to find and nice that its in a structure. Its a nice medium sized venue that has great sound resonance and is gorgeous.

Great venue, not a bad seat in the house. Cool, relaxed vibe for hanging out before the show.

Large enough for the biggest names yet small enough to see the artists. Great sounding theater! Great looking historical decor. Super expensive drinks though, so get primed before arriving.

Stunningly beautiful venue, and the sound/acoustics were really good. Not a single bad seat in the house! The only con (nothing bad enough to reduce the rating though) is that the drinks are obscenely expensive. Large pours (which is nice), but $18/glass (not so nice) for a beer? Geez.

It is absolutely beautiful there. A couple of friends and I went to see The Dirty Heads and it was amazing. I was admiring how beautiful the architecture and design of the layout and floor plant was. The building was nice inside and it was clean and kept up. The staff were all very friendly and it was nice chatting with them. I really enjoyed the pasta they served to the guest who bought a pass. The servers were generous with the food. I really like that the bathrooms were constantly checked and cleaned up. It was nice not slipping on water trails while heading out. The couple pictures are from the concert and how far away I was from the stage in the standing area.

Great Venue! This is one of those venues that doesnt really have a bad seat in the house. Ive been on the terrace and mezzanine for a HIM and Gazette concert, respectively, and I had a great view of the stage. The other thing I like is that there are many busses that drive by the area. Which is helpful if you commute using public transportation, as I do.The decor of the venue is beautiful. Drinks are pretty expensive though. I personally stop by the liquor store a block away from the venue.

A classic art deco live music and more event space. Named for its mashed up cross streets, Western and Wilshire, it stands tall over the intersection in an instantly recognizable off blue. Inside is just as well appointed and of the style. Tall arches and high ceilings show murals and more. Photos of previous performers adorn the walls. Five bars and downstairs restrooms provide much needed relief to any attendees. Sound is very good and the seats are comfortable for a hour or so, then your butt starts to hurt! Overall a great venue and a piece of Los Angeles history.

One of my most favorite venues. Always have a great time when visit here to see a band play parking is always been easy or catching a Lyft makes it even easier.

Really weird layout for a concert. Felt more like a dinner theater.

Had a very nice time listening to Pettyshakers and Fortunate Son. The Wiltern was easy to get to and no problem finding parking. I will go back.

Beautiful architecture. Not always the greatest sound throughout, but overall a great concert venue.

The bands were great. GA floor section gets way too crowded though, not a whole lot of space. Bartenders were cool, good attitudes.

The Wiltern is a great venue for a concert or a show. Beautiful Theatre!

Cool venue, decent drinks. Went two separate times and had the same feeling re: atmosphere

As always in Los Angeles parking is the problem and they had you lined up outside waiting to get in even though it was past the showtime. This is a great venue for concerts plenty of pool and booze but unfortunately I wasnt aware that it was standing only but I was able to get seated in the handicap section even though it was further away from the stage than my tickets

Was here for LP. It was great. But be ready wait in line outside. Inside It is old and dusty but we like the art deco design and the cosy feel. Mezzanine level is the place we usually prefer. Prices of condiments are of course higher but that is no surprise. Will definetely keep going.

Great experience, and friendly staff. The bartender Anthony was pretty cool.

The acoustics inside the venue are 100%. More on the baroque-ish side for me, so they could modernize the aesthetics, but not something to write home about. They have a handle on everything! Not once did I feel like the venue was unprepared for the event, so props to them. Theres a hotel right across the road from The Wiltern, which also added to the seamless execution of our itinerary. All in all, full marks

Came and saw Kreator and Sabaton on a Friday night. Parking was relatively easy, located in between The Wiltern and Ralphs. Venue itself is very cool. Art deco architecture and plenty of room to walk around before the concert itself started. During the concert itself we sat in the balcony and had a great view with excellent acoustics. Would definitely return.

You can see the stage performance from a far end/top seats. Just right size. And a beautiful interior decos. A preserved historical building in L.A.

Convenient location since its right across from the metro station and plenty of bus stops. Theres a coffee bean across the street too. We went to see The Lion King for the Kids Summer Series and my son had a blast which is the most important part, but the price for concessions is a little cray cray. We got 1 churro, nachos (which was pretty small..the tray was like a third full) and 2 waters and I paid $23. Either way we had a great time.

Any seat is a good seat. I saw Madonnas Madame X show here and I sat in the loge. It was a fantastic show and the sound was good. It is also gorgeous inside from the lobby to the auditorium.

A beautiful place!!!Do not let the outside of the building or the neighborhood fool you or stop you from checking it out.I have lived in Southern California since 1987 and have passed the place a hundred times with little interest other than the name being composed from the cross streets which I found clever.Wilshire and Western = WILTERN.So I finally got to experience this work of art on November 19, 2019 when I saw the beautiful and talented and loved Madonna as Madame X.It was a great place to see The Madame X tour and recommend that you enter the Wiltern, look up, and be amazed.I forgot to mention this earlier, the local parking with in a few blocks surrounding The Wiltern is very convenient and inexpensive.And my bartender was handsome, gave me a special drink option, was genuinely nice, enjoyed his job and guests, and his peers cheered him on as I tipped him BIG

Saw thievery corporation perform here 12/13/19. Great venue to watch small concerts. Seems to have a great history. A must visit venue.

Loved this place for a concert. Madonna put up a great show like always. Will return for other events.

Love, this venue have seen so many performers. Favorites have been Rob Zombie and now Silversun pickups. Small architecture is amazing great place to see a live show.

I love that it is not a modern place like all the others.

Saw a concert here for the first time earlier this week. Great venue, parking was pretty easy to find. The space is small but it makes for a much more intimate setting. Employees were all very friendly. Id definitely be happy to see another show here.

Smell old but i had a great time on my bday...we watch sum 41 great show

This was my second time being here. It was amazing. They let us upgrade our seats. It was so Kool. We went to see sum 41. They sell beer and shirts there. Too many stairs though ugh :(

Love the beauty of the art decor in this venue! It is small enough to where every seat/or standing spot is a good view. Of course the drinks are WAY overpriced ($18 for a Modelo tall boy) but I love this venue...one of my favs!

Such an awesome venue. Me and some friends went to see The Power Of Food for the kickoff of the LA Food Bowl. Tasty food prepared by 3 different cooking schools and a fun panel that included Jose Andres, Zooey Deschanel, Ron Finley and a few others made up most of the night. The seats in the upper sections were just as good if not better than the floor seating for an event like this. The Wiltern proved to be a great experience!
