Lauren :DOctober 22, 2015WOW I LOVE this place! It's huge and fun and upstairs was 21+ only! Long bar lines though, so get two drinks at once!
Luis LuaNovember 22, 2014A Los Angeles landmark! Beautiful old world feel. Great for music performances. Parking is limited so get to your event early.
Connie ChiuMay 21, 2016Kinda beautiful inside and out. And I love that there are so many ladies bathroom stalls and bars. Sound system can be better though.
KEAugust 14, 2017Soulection was 🔥, good spaces to explore and dance indoor and outdoor, hardly any seating but you won't want to with all the room for dancing.
VictoriaJanuary 31, 2016Both parts of the venue are great places to see your bands. My first & last time I saw Motörhead here. RIP Lemmy!
Dee DeeAugust 30, 2016Small venue, so there aren't any bad seats. Bathrooms are downstairs, refreshments & alcoholic drinks are upstairs. Sound system was great!- JewelMintMarch 23, 2011The Shrine is an amazing spot for music and is such a beautiful venue. I saw Arcade Fire play here and it was one of the best shows of my life. - Kate Bosworth

John KiddeOctober 22, 2015Great music venue, avoid parking here and ride Metro to the Expo line Jefferson/USC station.
JenniferOctober 15, 2014If you find yourself in a long line for beer, just go up a level. Most events have multiple bars open.
PeopleFebruary 14, 2011This fabled landmark is known for playing host to glittering awards shows, but it's gone down in history as the venue where Michael Jackson's hair caught on fire in 1984.
TheUrbanDailyMay 24, 2011In 1989, Jazzy Jeff & the Fresh Prince made history here! The Philly-based rap duo become the first Rap act to win a Grammy for their song "Parents Just Don't Understand."
Cody KrainockDecember 24, 2014Classic EDM venue. Fun fact: Hard Summer Music Festival used to be hosted here.
Scott DunhamDecember 26, 2013Security takes forever to get in but they are swell people. Venue has seats but they let you rage in the aisles. Sound system needs more bass.
Blue PanthersSeptember 29, 2016Tritonal ; haven't been here in years and its still one of my favorite venues (:- Jodie RApril 14, 2012Been coming here since I was 11 for Shrine Halloween Dances and Shrine Circus for Rainbow Girls (www.GoCARainbow.org)
The Shrine is the best place for an event. Friendly and accomodating staff, great price! Better traffic than at Nokia or Kodak
The DoorsMarch 10, 2011The Doors performed at L.A.'s Shrine Auditorium in December of 1967 with openers The Iron Butterfly and Sweetwater.
Martin Pagh LudvigsenOctober 9, 2010I can't believe they have the nerve to sell the top 30 rows. Sound is unbelievably bad up there.

"One of my favorite concert venues I have been to. The interior is stunning and elegant. There also was security so I felt safe. Only downside is even a PBR was $15!"
