A small open and cozy theatre. Highly recommended. The sound, the view and the environment is superb. There is no need to bring a binocular since its a small theater. You are able to bring wine, beer and food in the theater and enjoy your feast. At longest it fits below your seat. They really maintain the surroundings because I didnt see any trash laying around AND not one mosquito bite I got. At the end of the show you are able to meet the artists... great way to end the night! Looking forward to go again.

This concert was a an enjoyable event. The beautiful traditional mariachi music along with the some of the most beautiful and colorful costumes made for a spectacular evening. I would have preferred natural lighting of the stage and performers rather than a rainbow of unnatural colors like pink. Overall, I had a lovely evening.

Great place to see live performances! You can bring food and drinks and have a picnic before the show. Parking is challenging which is the only reason this place doesnt get five stars.

Came for the Stranger Things Season 3 screening with a moderated conversation with David Harbour! The venue is beautiful! Parking onsite is tricky with their stacked car policy, even more challenging when time to leave. Lets just say it isnt a feat for the faint of heart!The upstairs dining had a decent selection but pretty pricey (i.e. 2 sliders were $9 and together did not make up or the size of a normal hamburger) and dinner for 4 (3 of which were kids) with no alcohol came to $77 - yikes! Patrons CAN bring in picnics and beer and wine which makes it a delightfully affordable option. Staff were over the top friendly and seemed genuinely thrilled you were there! Can not wait to return for another over the top event! Hard to top Stranger Things 3 screening 4 days before the release - pretty epic!

Beautifully designed unique theater in the Hollywood Hills. Gorgeous quiet setting you can hear the crickets in the surrounding trees. Delicious food at the patio cafes before the show. Stacked parking or free shuttle service from the Universal City Metro Red Line Station parking lot across from Universal Studios. Shuttle takes 10-15 minutes and drops you off at theater box office, so convenient!

I used to come here in the 80s and 90s for some great shows at a great venue. The recent renovation has completely changed the venue for the better. It seems more intimate and the sound is much improved. Parking is stacked, but a bargain at 12 dollars. Even with stacked parking, I was out of there in 20 minutes. I hope they bring more rock shows to this beloved venue.

Perhaps one of the best outdoor venues in LA. The Ford Theatres makes for a really fun experience for anyone. The modern and clean design venue is well staffed by volunteers, features two bars, a restaurant and a great view of the performance from anywhere. I enjoyed watching a concert here. The on-site parking is a bit of a hassle, as it is stacked parking. I recommend using LFYT/UBER from a nearby parking structure of street.

Our first time at the Ford to see Lila Downs. We left our car at Union Station and had an Uber drive us up. He could take us up tot he bottom of the hill where most of the other parking was at, and it was just a short hike from there. Suggestions wear comfortable shoes. I love that they have vegan options and tasty drinks. I am not quite sure how the picnic areas work, so if someone knows that would be great information to post.Beautiful and comfortable seating. And of course Lila did not disappoint, she was amazing along with all the artwork.

The John Anson Ford Theatre is an amazing venue to any live performance.There are no bad seats. Great staff and stellar production by the crew.A great experience.

Its an antique outdoor theater set against a hillside, with new facilities added nearby. The programs are unusual and often exciting, and this Summer has been especially eventful. Access for people with mobility problems can be difficult, and the stacked parking can be frustrating. But for a taste of Hollywood architecture in the 1920s combined with ultra new music and dance, its a treat.

Great venue and good acoustics. Attended a concert here for Andrew McMahon. He was playing most songs acoustically on this tour and it sounded great! The canyon backdrop wasnt that bad to look at too. :)

Amazing venue. Not a bad seat in the house. Best to Uber/Lyft in as parking is not great.

Nice intimate outdoor venue! Just the right size to catch a close up look of your favorite artist. Chill back drop too. And parking was surprisingly cheap by todays standards but it is stacked parking. I would definitely attend more concerts there.

Fantastic venue. Not a bad seat in the house. The parking situation isnt great but if youre in a hotel near Universal Studios you can walk to the shuttle pick up spot at the Metro station. Otherwise its stacked parking at the venue and its hit or miss how easy it will be to get out.

Very good venue and location. Easy to get to and take the shuttle for events from University Nissan. ADA compliant and great staff and service. Acoustics are just so so but not terrible!!! We did not have any food or drinks so we could not speak about these services.

What a grand time. The theater featured a dance lesson in Chicago Two-Step on a fairly cool early evening. Got there in time to have wine and a salad to pump up the “energy”. The lessons were easy and the crowd was bold, open and fun!

I attended Nonsemble, a celebration of women in jazz. The venue is incredibly beautiful. Ive never seen a stage like this. Nestled into the rocks providing some of the best acoustics Ive ever experienced. Im surprised fewer people know of this grand venue Yet. Lived it and loved it!!

Love it. Very nice theater! Easy parking and wheelchair access available. You can bring your bottle of wine and have a picnic before the show

Amazing venue not a bad seat in the house,great sound! Stacked parking but got out fast.

I came here for an Anna Wise + MNDSGN show and had a memorable time! The seats themselves are outdoor facing trees behind the stage, which looks amazing around sunset time and when colored lights are used. This place is very well kept and the staff was very helpful. There is a small convenience store inside the venue where you can grab a bite and drink before the show. Prices are decent. If you dont want to go that route, you can bring your own food and beverages. We brought in a tiny cooler filled with beers and had no problem taking them inside! One thing I would change next time I go is to park on the street just outside the venue, since on-site parking is expensive!

Perfect place to see a show in an intimate setting but the seats are narrow.

Nice and intimate venue with generous acoustics. Lovely place to visit for a date night concert. I came for a drum circle which was interactive and immersive. Beautiful evening. Also, each and every one of the staff were courteous, even at closing time when they kicked us out!

An awesome outdoor venue I would definitely see another band play here!

Theres not a bad seat in the house. You get the best parts of an outdoor summer concert without the crowd.Parkings a reasonable $12 (less if you carpool with 2 or more), you have to be patient because its stacked parking. Getting out involved doing a u-turn around parked vehicles. Once youre out it doesnt take long to go south. The only reason I dont take rideshare is the Ford is hard to find, and drivers get snarled in the Hollywood bowl traffic.

Beautiful outdoor venue!

Intimate concert venue with an excellent vantage point from any seat.

Gorgeous, romantic venue. You would be hard pressed to find any dissenting votes here..

It is one of the smaller venues holding 1200 people. Very intimate, great remodel! I would definitely book this venue. It looks better than the bigger ones. Located in Hollywood, it is definitely in the heart of this famous city. The people are very hospitable, friendly, and overall great customer service. Dope place.

The beauty and color of Mexico.... in Los Angeles! 3 hours of music and dance .... proud to be Mexican!

A beautiful venue to see a film in the outdoors. Great sound and viewing. In West Hollywood close to places to eat.

We lucked out weather wise so this was a wonderful, magical outdoor venue experience. The band was amazing and the sounds from the stringed instruments bounced happily around the theater enveloping us in a cloud like pillow of song. Really just a great venue with great acoustics.

Intimate theater! Loved it. Saw a Kina Grannis showing here :)Park at the Universal City Metro Station (free) and theres plenty of shuttles going to the theater every 10 minutes 2 hours before the show (also free!)Some annoying helicopters during the show but it adds to the charm of the outdoor theater.Bring your own food/wine/drinks as the fare is typical and overpriced.Would definitely come back again if our artists are playing here!

A great place to enjoy a show. I was at a screening of the Original Star Wars at night. It was like being a kid and seeing it at the drive-in. It could make for a romantic evening.

Intimate venue with eclectic, cultural acts ranging from dance, theater to music. Recently revamped with excellent sound and amenities. Great complement to larger venues nearby.

A such a wonderful community culture family please. Love this place, I feel this is one of the best hidden treasure of southern California. They have variety love music entertainment all over the world. Love the audience participation and many of the events. A beautiful loving family place to introduce to your little ones and it runs the beauty of many beautiful cultures that this wonderful State of California has and our beautiful melting pot of our country. ️️️

Awesome concert venue. Sound is great.

Beautiful venue for cultural gatherings.

Top 3 venues in la. I wish they did more shows here. My grandma is handicapped and it was ridiculously easy for us. Its like they opened up the VIP treatment for her. So easy in fact she had some wine for the first time in years and danced for a bit. Life time memory. 6 stars.

What a beautiful, intimate, outdoor space. I wish I could see every show there. You can bring your own wine and food, have a little Picknick or just buy it there. We absolutely loved it.

Great out open roof venue

I had such a great time at John Anson Ford Theatres this weekend! I love the music and people that go there. Everyone is friendly and down for a good time. I recommend that if you havent been there yet, you should definitely check it out!!

Unique and beautiful setting. Good acoustics. And they book top talent

I was there three times. Twice last year, and third time last week.Every time it was a lot of fun. The atmosphere was great. Interior is cool too.The people coming here are so different.My 3 star rating is based on overcrowding. The allow too many people inside. Too many!

Beautiful venue...amazing.

Small outdoor amphitheater, great acoustics and nice amenities too. Parking is limited but off site parking with shuttle service was great!

The Ford Amphitheater is easy to get to. If you are going from Hollywood Highland mall , taking the Redline train, thw bus connection is across the street from the mall and there is a bus stop in front of the theater.Its a great outdoor venue and I will be back there on Saturday. They have drinks n food there. The seating was very comfortable...easy in and out of the seating area.

Staff is super nice, drinks are reasonably priced, and it is a small but great venue. Came here for a show and I had a great time.The vibe was calm and people just ready to enjoy the show. Nothing roudy or tension in the air. It was great. This venue is awesome and hope I get to see more shows here.

Very nice venue great view anywhere youre seated.

Beautiful. We were there for family morning. It was perfect. I highly recommend it. We will be back next week.

Fairytale setting under the stars. Every seat is good. Bring in your own wine and food and sit at the tables before the concert. Arrive early if you want in the lot

It was a perfectly pleasant summer night at the Ford theatre. Olga Pericets artistry was beautiful and the Fords ambience enhanced an overall lovely evening.

Super concert setting. 1200 seats. Bring your own food and plastic bottles soft drinks. Research the parking and alcohol policies.

Intimate theatre with great sound. We came to watch Star Wars A New Hope. They need to figure out a better system for ride shares to pick up and drop off because people were stopping in the middle of the road.

Came here to see Ragga bond perform, a Brazilian reggae band and they were awesome! Fairly small place but its cozy and relaxed. Bartenders were fast and friendly and it was a great crowd.

Make sure to utilize the off-site parking. Well worth it.

This Theater is in a great setting and provides a beautiful backdrop for certain performances. Unfortunately, the last performance we went to was not as good as previous performances we had attended.

Awesome, what a Cool vibe to be in when youre seeing a band and listening to the music that you really like. Big enough to feel Grand but still has that very intimate feel. Parking isnt the best and it if it has a cool chill in the air at night bring a jacket.

Fantastic outdoor venue. We had great seats to see Meshel Nedigocello, but it didnt seem to be a bad seat in the house.

From parking to seating, staffs greetings and smile give excitement to the venue.

Best Venue in Southern California! The stage is beautiful, the seats comfortable, everything is very clean. Every staff member was extremely friendly, even the contract security employees. Your even allowed to bring your own food and beverages. They sell food and alcohol as well.

Great venue. I love the jam sessions. Free events and parking.

Beautiful and intimate venue for plays and concerts that seats about 1200 people. If you have been to the Hollywood Bowl and see buildings and lights across the freeway this is it. Shows can run a bit later than the Bowl as there are not homes to complain. If you get a chance to see anything here, GO.

It was great! Great show and accommodation seating was comfortable.

Its a lovely venue but the seats are so small, i cant imagine a really big man ever being comfortable.

The Ford Theatre is ALWAYS fun filled, family oriented, classy upscale place to see superb talent of all jondra. The attendants are alway friendly and knowledgeable. This venue has thought of EVERYTHING (parking, food, accessibility,website) to make your night out a pleasureable memory.

Nice intimate the theater to see a good live show Government Mule was awesome!

Such a great Venue! Hope they keep their intimate vibe as this place becomes more popular.

Beautiful theater. Unusual shows. Outdoor setting

Beautiful place for concerts.Nice for those hot L.A evenings. Parking situation is a little bad. Remote parking is good.

Beautiful outdoor venue. Made it much more fun to watch Stranger Things 3 ep 1!

Loved this outside venue. Volunteers are friendly... all seats are great

I just love that place ️

Minor security problem was dealt with swiftly and efficiently by an attentive staff. Your crew obviously tries to ensure an optimal experience for all. And free poster!!!

Thank You... MeShell for making it back to Los Angeles ....Great Show!

I actually didnt know this place existed until very recently. Its right near the Hollywood Bowl, tucked away across the street. But its much smaller. *Much* smaller.Its a very intimate -- theres only one section, and practically no bad seats.They also are very lenient with outside food and drinks, which is always a plus.It only has a few minor annoyances. First, the parking isnt great. You can get lucky and get a good spot, but its all stack parking. However, theblot clears out pretty fast. Second, the seats arent graded so much, which might make it difficult to see sometimes. Like I said, these issues arent really all that bad. Theyre definitely not deal breakers.All things considered, this place is a great concert venue. Beautiful architecture and scenery, and a great vibe.

Out in open. Well organized to get in/out.

Lovely venue. Great sound. Friendly staff.

I want to go to more shows here. Like once a month. Super impressed. This place has been hiding.

Beautiful place, nice people, organized....Great venue. ...not a bad seat in the house

Loved this venue! Small, intimate, outdoors and great accoustics

Wonderful, intimate setting for love performance. Be prepared to walk and climb stairs to enter and get around the facility.

Great theater across from the bowl. Minimal concessions, and parking is 5+ in line.

Great venue. Theres really no bad seats and its an ideal setting for a Summer outdoor performance. The complimentary shuttle service offered to and from the over flow parking lot was MUCH appreciated. I would love to attend another event here in the future

It was a cool little joint, we went for a Suicide Girls show. It was clean and employees were friendly. It was little warm, but Im not there is much they could do about that really.

Great place to take the fam. Always a good show & love the scenery of the theatre.

= Sound /acoustics good (but not loud enough). Beautiful setting for any show + great, polite staff! = Curfew is too early. Parking is a challenge but much better than the Bowl.

Beautiful place! Great show.

Great venue... Liked the fact there was no way wind could be a problem. Having us being handicapped helped with parking for us for sure with the stack parking they have there. We got out quickly.

My husband had foot surgery 6 days ago and was in a cast and on crutches but we couldn’t miss the Greta Van Fleet show tonight so we went. First, when we parked in the stacked parking and got out, the parking attendant asked us to get back in our car and helped us park in the very front for easier ADA access. There are a ridiculous amount of stairs just to enter however, right away we were directed to the ramp and the elevator. We got off the elevator to find the line to sit going all the way back down the stairs. A gentleman in a Securitas outfit stood next to my husband and my husband asked, so do I now have to go back down the stairs to wait in line? He said unfortunately yes. Then a Ford staff member named Daisy took care of us all the way. She let us in before anyone else so that we could find a seat without having to wait in line on the stairs. We ended up in the front row for my sons first concert. After the show, Daisy found us and helped us get to the ADA cart area so that my husband could ride down the hill back to our car. Thank you Ford for having the absolute friendliest and helpful staff and for giving my family an exceptional experience!

The amphitheater is, beautiful, the tech seamless. I watched a film there -- Ive previously seen live theatre there -- and its an excellent venue for either.The staff is efficient, considerate and helpful. Parking is a bit packed; I used Lyft. They even have a Lyft/Uber pick-up spot for afterwards, to avoid confusion. That made getting in and out easier. All in all, a great experience.

So fun! First time to a dueling piano bar and didnt know what to expect. Will definitely recommend this place to all my friends looking for something fun to do in Los Angeles.

Nice venue. Surprisingly, they have vegan options on their menu. Parking is limited and stacked but if you dont mind getting there super early, you can get a decent spot at the front of the line and leave at a reletively decent time after your event is over.

This small venue is one of best Threater to see a performance

This is the most beautiful outdoor venue in Los Angeles - an intimate amphitheater against a natural landscape. Parking is not great, but there are shuttles from two different stops. Food and drink available onsite and its good! But the main attraction is the stunning setting and great acoustics!

Love going there one of my favs places going with family and friends

I lived in Burbank until my 30s and moved to the South Bay after that. And all that time Ive never been to the John Anson Ford Amphitheatre until April 2018. We went to see a band called Greta Van Fleet. It is a great venue, sophisticated but comfortable. The band was great too.

Awesome remodel...better sound and insulation to keep music in. Improved sound/p.a. system. Better concessions and parking. Like everywhere else, food and drink prices have skyrocketed. Eat B4 u get into venue. Parking can still be a bit of a nightmare...

Beautiful amphitheater! Not a bad seat in the house.

Beautiful venue under the stars built with natural rock facades.

Loved the ambience. Getting an uber home was crazy but there was an accident on the 101 that was the cause.
