Joshua Van DykSeptember 29, 2016Seriously Awesome Concert Venue! I love, love, love this venue! I was there for the first time this year to see Mumford & Sons. Such a small place that every seat in the house is great!
Sam WingMay 3, 2015Park in the neighborhood just south of Los Feliz Blvd. The walk up to the park is nice and you save yourself an insane amount of time and stress.
ℳ𝒶𝓎♍September 8, 2019I love amphitheaters, and this one nestled in Griffith Park is awesome. Beautiful hillside views, excellent acoustics and not a bad seat in the house. Check out events happening on summer nights
Sara RomanoOctober 21, 2016Such a cool venue! Try and get there early, because the common area outside is very cool, grassy, and overall a great place to sit and hang out before. Truly is a concert under the stars.
Connie ChiuSeptember 21, 2017I love this venue, almost more than the Hollywood bowl! Smaller and more intimate with a beautiful landscape. The food is not bad, drinks are expensive though. Do the offsite parking ($10).
Andrew CouldwellOctober 29, 2019Wow, what a venue! Great sound and perfect setting surrounded by hills and trees. Even the area outside the event space is cool for pre-show drinks and food! 👌🤘
Stacey~MarieOctober 7, 2015Best concert venue in all of LA! Not a bad seat in the house. Much more intimate than the Hollywood Bowl.
Nitie BNovember 3, 2013Fabulous show! GreAt place! Amazing trees and sound and bar. I didn't get the memo that you can wear high heels and tiny dresses as you climb the stairs in November #coloradogirl
Melissa PolinarSeptember 26, 2015I call it a "mini-Hollywood bowl" -- I sometimes prefer the Greek because it is less intimidating. I love this venue to catch some of my favorite artists/bands.- My favorite outdoor venue; no real bad seat in the house. Pay for parking online beforehand to avoid stacked parking. Dress warm!
Where Los Angeles MagazineMay 21, 2012The Greek’s size (fewer than 6,000 seats) is far from overwhelming, and with excellent natural acoustics amid the towering pine trees of Griffith Park, the venue is even a little romantic. Read more
DeeSeptember 12, 2013Oh yes - certainly awesome that it is one of the favorite outdoor places in LA to rock to live music. Proud that it is part of our LA culture scene:)
George ChearswatOctober 14, 2013Great venue! Can get cold in the winter months so be sure to bring a blanket! Also, parking on event days is cash only so be prepared!
Raymond ArturoAugust 12, 2016Beautiful venue. Lovely dranks. Good vibes all around. I went to see @alabama_shakes and took an unexpected to trip to music heaven.
Chantell DawnOctober 28, 2013Most beautiful venue (location in general!) that I've experienced since moving to LA one year ago. Great atmosphere and performance at the Eek! Halloween extravaganza :)- DeeSeptember 12, 2013Try to drive the streets that run parallel to sunset blvd to get here in time - it can get crazy. Not crazy abt the food choices at the concession stand - closest thing to healthy is veggie burger.
Lauren :DOctober 22, 2015Great venue! Probably my second favorite outdoor venue behind the Hollywood Bowl.- The StandardApril 19, 2011CA (See) A more intimate version of The Hollywood Bowl, The Greek offers great acoustics in an amazing outdoor setting. Bring a date, it's also a perfect spot for makin' out!
My favorite venue in LA! And it just got better with $7 offsite shuttle parking. Buy parking online first before heading out to your show and thank me later!
Zigabid Zig A BidSeptember 16, 2011Ticket buying tip: opt for seats in the center (3-digit seat numbers). It's the best view in any section. I'd settle for a center seats in B over sitting far left or right in A any day.
Sabrina AflaloMay 6, 2013I love the Greek!! Def my fav venue in LA where u feel like ur in the middle of the forest, listening to amazing artists under the stars!
JenniferSeptember 27, 2014Stacked parking is the woooooooorst here. Carpool, but choose the person in your group with the SUV. You will probably find yourself parked in the woods.
Karl HobartApril 12, 2016You can park in Los Feliz Village and walk to the Greek. It's less than a mile.
The Wild Honey PieOctober 17, 2017This beautiful amphitheater was actually used as barracks during World War II.
Idea Monkey, Inc.July 27, 2011The Greek Theater opened in 1930 and promptly burnt down. In 1931 after reopening it became home to numerous productions in the 30s including many by the Works Progress Administration Federal Theater.
Ken CarsonDecember 21, 2010The intimate setting at Greek Theatre was always a favorite of Barbie's. We'd dress to impress, have a nice dinner and enjoy an outdoor show under the stars. Very romantic.
Jessica PlautzJune 16, 2013If you have dinner in Los Feliz, you can walk to the theatre and avoid the parking situation. It's less than a mile and it's a pretty walk.- Christina HwangJuly 13, 20181 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0
Pelin Güvenç KefelMarch 22, 2016Love the acoustics of this place, it could be a little chilly a night so make sure to bring a jacket 😊
Cayla C. G.September 18, 2013It was so freaking awesome !!! I love The Weeknd , XO til I overdose ❤❤❤
Adam ValenciaJune 14, 2013It is better to pay for parking on there website, it is a little more expensive but it is easier and you are not being parked in a lot that only has stack parking
Noni OOctober 6, 2014The sound quality between section A and B is ridiculous. Pay the extra to sit in section A.
Maroon 5June 7, 2012This is one of our favorite places to play AND see shows, and it's right in our neighborhood! - James and Mickey
DylanOctober 14, 2013Get the wine by the bottle for only 22.50. Yeah...it's crappy wine but you get the most bang for your buck.
Boy RacerJune 12, 2013Get Aldous Snow to The Greek Theater. Enjoy the sex, drugs and adventures along the way!
Angela PAugust 16, 2012Bring a picnic dinner and park in the lower lot; you can avoid all the crappy waiting for parking, and enjoy a stress-free dinner!
Ramy EletrebyAugust 19, 2014Great concert venue in a romantic setting. Griffith Park is the backdrop.
Brian FulsomJuly 8, 2013It was a fantastic venue! Bring cash though because various card machines went down.- Zigabid Zig A BidAugust 15, 2011Great outdoor venue. Perfect in the summer. Find tickets for shows at The Greek Theatre & negotiate your price on Zigabid.com!
Los AngelesOctober 21, 2013On Sunday, Oct. 27, bring the whole family to The Greek Theatre for the third annual EEK! at The Greek, a symphonic Halloween extravaganza.
Ed VazquezOctober 5, 2013Do dine and ride from the restaurants that let you park for the whole show and shuttle you to the front entrance- I love the ushers at this venue, they keep the drinks in check!!!
Lindsay GablerAugust 15, 2011The best outdoor venue in LA! Definitely get tickets to a Summertime show - well worth it!
