Poor security - bad lines, unclear as to process. Pat downs . No gum allowed but smoke all the pot you want openly Non existent HVAC - wear what you can take off because it’s a sauna.
All bathrooms are upstairs a long winding staircase. Men’s room was decent enough, though no urinal for you if a larger than 38 waist!
Lots of police presence in the immediate area - not sure if that’s because the area had issues, the venue had issues or if there was something special happening in the area.
On the plus side it’s a pretty venue. Parking in the area is easy enough and the sound was decent. At least on par with a venue like the El Rey or the Fonda.
If they could get their security act together I’d rate it higher.
It's a really nice venue but it's nearby a college campus so it attracks a younger crowd; there was a lot of people who were there to just get smashed on a Saturday night instead of appreciating the music. I saw at least 3 unconscious people get carried out in the middle of the concert. I really don't think I would attend another concert here.
Came to see FKJ and Masego 12/16. First time here and great neat theater. Lines moved quick on sold out event. Restrooms were large and clean. Clean, thick seats in the balcony
Great venue, if you are a planner/packer leave your items in the car. Otherwise a great place to visit.
The theater itself is beautiful. Perfect venue for people not wanting to have to travel into LA to the Greek or the Fonda.
The ticketing staff outside was the issue. Very confusing information. Inside the venue, everyone was super cool.
Really bad concert experience.
I've been to over 100 concert venues and this is the most oversold one I've been to. They segregate the general admission areas which is something I've never seen before and the views are still terrible to see the artist no matter how hard you try! You're lucky if you can see one performer 20% of the time! I'm 5"10'
Beer and drink selection is bad, also more expensive than the venues in Los angles. I guess this is the only option in a big area so they stay in business.
Get here early, otherwise, even if you have floor tickets, you can't get on the floor. Literally show up an hour early. Otherwise I really like this venue. The floor is small, so it's super intimate with the artist. Park like less than half a mile away in the neighborhood, instead of paying $20 for parking right next to the venue. The building/interior is nice, and it's in a pretty nice/busy location.
This is a nice concert venue, pretty decent sound system. Most of the shows are GA although they have assigned seats sometimes. From every angle of the house there is a good view, the size is just bigger then a intimate venue. Plenty of bars and a restaurant that serves food just through the lobby called The Green Room and all of the restrooms are upstairs which are handicap accessible through the elevator.
The venue is concert friendly. Great premium parking across the street. A lil pricey but where else can you park and You can see your car from the lobby.
Sound is pretty good inside, beautiful historic building retaining much of an Art Deco vibe. No place to park nearby that's not $20 or more. People smoking weed everywhere inside and nobody from management seems to care. Maybe a call to ATF would change things. Kicked some poor guy out taking short videos with a camera, while everybody with their smart phones out was video recording everything. Not sure what they had against him. Anyway, 2 stars because the sound is pretty good in there. Probably will rethink ever seeing bands play here.
I love going to the Fox for concerts. Parking is cheap, good food close by, and the staff is super friendly. Best of all, I do not have to drive to Hollywood to see a concert.
A great place for teens who want to feel like adults. A great place for adults who want to feel like teens. Not so great for adults who simply want to enjoy their favorite band.
It's a cool old theater but they pack WAY too many people into it and it was extremely warm even though it was a cool night. In addition parking is ridiculous with the city enforcing 2 hour parking until midnight and, yes, the meter maids are out ticketing cars at midnight. Due to that parking restriction the lots in the neighborhood charge $25 to park. My advice: just avoid the area completely. Actually just avoid Pomona completely and you won't have to deal with the greedy bastards.
