The Wiltern - Los Angeles, California

Lovely experience here. The entrance was managed well and safely. Food and drinks were delicious. I watched the Nutcracker, seats were a little tight but the show was enjoyable nonetheless. Would come here again and watch other shows!

Very nice place. Nice classic architecture. Even a top the mezzanine view to the stage was not too far. It's a small venue with only 2000 something seats. If going to the mezzanine, they have 2 more bars up there too. I ordered a double Jack and Coke and it was $27 😯

Beautiful theater, professional staff.

There's a standing-only pit on the floor near the stage, and then two levels of mezzanine balcony assigned seats.

Security line is efficient-ish. Weird that umbrellas are on their prohibited items list. Sometimes it rains?

Also, like many music venues, The Wiltern pumps the volume to deafening levels. Bring earplugs if you can.

I realize most people will drive or rideshare to the theater, but it's right across the street from the purple line train station, and there are also lots of buses that stop nearby as well. Give public transit a chance.

Overall would recommend this venue if there's a musical act you like that's playing here.

I had the opportunity to come to The Wiltern to see Duster perform and I enjoyed the show very much. I was able to find parking about half a mile down the street from the venue which was a huge plus. The best part was I didn’t have to pay, just walk a little bit to get to the theater.

Upon entering, I was greeted by some friendly staff members and I liked the layout of the theater. It had an upper and bottom floor for the restrooms and a bar on the main floor where the theater entrance is. I didn’t have much time to explore the inside though as I was running late but I also liked how clean the venue was.

In the theater area, there are several views you can see the stage from but I liked being able to stand at the back. There was much less people and the view of the stage was complete, I didn’t have to stand there and look up the entire time haha.

I was very content with my experience here and I loved how Duster played a sensational show. I wouldn’t mind coming back here again to see more shows in the future.

October 2024: Beautiful & classic venue - what you'd think of from silver screen Hollywood. They definitely don't make them like this anymore. Fun, interesting layout of the pit and general admission areas. Decent acts, as well as smaller artists, are booked here.

Food and beer options were pretty basic, with nothing on tap & the typical LiveNation nonsensically greedy overpricing. Cocktails and mixed drinks were pretty nice, tons of options (full bar) and bartenders were awesome.

TLDR; if not for the pricing, this would be a 10 star

Went for a Jesse McCartney concert, everyone was super nice and able to help us. The upstairs woman's restroom has three stalls, so wait can be long at times, so now you may be out a little longer than expected.
This place was amazing for concerts!! The seats on the mezzanine are elevated so it's easy to see even if further back ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

I have been 2 many different concert venues from Northern 2 Southern CA.
But nothing I have experienced can compete with this venue. And not only that the People who work there R the kindest, most helpful people A Person could ever meet. Great Concert, Great People who work there also. 👏

Nice old school venue, beautiful architecture, seats could be revamped.
Sound was decent, the bartender and drinks were on point! The area/ neighborhood was super sketchy. But overall a nice and easy parking ( structure in the back of the venue is pricey but close -$30- )
