The Bourbon Room

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Review by Aaron G. Beebe — Owner of GonnaHappen The Bourbon Room Hollywood Christmas Show was everything live entertainment should be — vibrant, nostalgic, and full of pure energy. It felt like stepping into a true celebration of music, talent, and showmanship. I had the chance to experience an epic night with Ted Maier, watching Debbie Gibson’s phenomenal performance alongside Corey Feldman’s co-performance, and it was absolutely unforgettable. Debbie owned the stage with her stunning vocals, timeless charm, and holiday spirit, while Corey brought that electric rock energy that made the night larger than life. The chemistry between them — and the crowd — was unreal. Everyone was singing, smiling, and soaking up every moment. As the owner of GonnaHappen, I live for nights like this — where entertainment, passion, and connection all come together. The Bourbon Room captures that magic perfectly: incredible sound, great lighting, and a staff that makes you feel part of something special. If you love live music and legendary performances, The Bourbon Room Hollywood is a must location to see a show. Nights like these remind us all why music still brings people together. #TheBourbonRoom #HollywoodEntertainment #DebbieGibson #CoreyFeldman #TedMaier #GonnaHappen #AaronGBeebe #LiveMusic #VegasLife #ItsAllGonnaHappen

Went to see a friend’s show here last week. Cool bar area in the front that has disco lights and cool rock inspired artwork. Decent selection of spirits and beer. I ended up getting a good ole boiler maker, with Buffalo trace. There odd a small performance space next to the bar that is separated by a thick curtain. The show we saw was in the main venue which sat quite a free people. The views from everywhere were good and the sound system was great.

Myself and my friends purchased tickets for brunch today in Los Angeles. We purchased the 1:30-3:00pm slot and the venue was located at 6356 Hollywood Blvd, Hollywood, CA 90028. Total price was $201.00. We arrived promptly at 1:30pm and were advised to stand in line. After inquiring we were informed that they were backed up. We waited 30 minutes before we were escorted in. Once inside we were seated in a hot and cramped area near the bar. We were given crossword puzzles and had to wait an additional 30min. After that time had passed and no server had come to bring water or check in with us, we approached and asked if we could move. One of my friends began feeling faint from the lack of air. We moved to another section. The tables were left in disarray. It looks like previous parties had came and gone but no one had cleaned up after them. There were 2 empty tables and a coach like seats. We sat down and cleaned our own dirty tables. We looked across the room and another table had dirty dishes and glasses. It stayed that way for about 20 min. After 20 min had passed we flagged someone down for water. By this time it was about 2:45pm. We had not received the “welcome mimosa” or water. No server had come to us to take our order. Finally our orders were taken and we received our mimosas. As can be seen in the pictures attached, they arrived in what code only be assumed as dirty glasses. We each sipped a little and were dismayed. They tasted like chalky dish water. No one in our party drank their drinks. Our food came and another problem. We ordered 3 burgers, tater tots, and the chicken strips. One of the burgers was raw. Toasted on each side but a raw patty. Each burger had a thick piece of bacon that was mostly fat. The tater tots were overcooked. The raw burger was inedible. We finished and my friend went to ask to speak with management. The server ignored her. She was standing next to the bar for 15min. Apart from the various issues. The event was not as advertised. The menus were one page and when asked the server said they were out of everything but the burger and chicken strips. There was no emo music playing. A weird mix of rock with Sia randomly thrown in. The servers were non existent. No one should have to wait an hour in a room with poor ventilation without water. I attended the 2022 emo brunch held in the same location. You cannot even compare the experiences.

This place is awesome!! Old style jazz room brought to the 2000s! Very nice n renovated t date!! Beautiful bar 🍸 n every server is soo attentive...loved the concert there!! And if u love Amy Winehouse ♥️ then go c Dear Amy...she was AWESOME!!! IM GOING BACK TO C HER!!!!

This was my first time visiting the Bourbon Room to see comedian Theo Von perform. It was amazing to enjoy his act in such an intimate space, especially considering he played at a significantly larger venue the following night. My experience from start to finish was superb; the ambiance was amazing, and the venue was comfortable and inviting. The owner, Scott, went above and beyond in terms of service and care, and it was so refreshing to be met with such excellent treatment. I didn't order food, but from what I did see, it looked delicious. The tickets were very fairly priced compared to most LA venues these days, and the two gentlemen working around the ticket podium were super nice and helpful. I'm so glad I was introduced to this venue, and my great experience guaranteed I will be returning!

Went for a For The Record performance of Tarantino which was very good intimate show with the actors performing close to or in the audience area. Nice food and drink options (the green chili fries are excellent). You can chill at the bar in front while you wait for the show to open. Early arrivals get the best seats for the sections they bought into. Music can get a little loud, sensitive ears might want earphones or plugs. Accessible. No valet, parking garage around the corner is $10. Some limited meter parking.

We didn't go into the theater but hung out in the bar area. It was awesome. If you can get Taylor, you're gonna be set. Absolutely the best. Love the vibe and the music!

Nice cozy environment. Good for small events and meetups! Drink was great but the bar guy was not friendly! There is a public parking close by so that way it was convenient… and also a delicious taco stand(Tire shop taqueria) at a walking distance for a quick bite after party!

We came here for the opening night of Batsu in Los Angeles. It was great. There is paid parking on the street, which can be tricky during busy hours. Before entering, the bouncer checks your ID and then you proceed upstairs. The bar is dimly lit and welcoming. The bartenders were nice and the drinks were good. This place seems small, but is actually quite spacious. On the side of the bar, a group was privately sectioned off having a private party. After getting our drinks from the bar, we were directed to the back room with the stage to enjoy the show.

I've been to the Bourbon Room a few times now and it's always been a really good experience for shows. Waymo here so you don't have to worry about parking since it's right on Hollywood Boulevard in the thick of our beautiful LA grittiness. Bouncer has always been cool and on this when I went this week, I dare say he was quite handsome! LOLz It's always a quick and fast experience getting in, up their moody bit of stairs and into the main bar area. It's cool if you want to have a drink and socialize before a show, dark and romantic vibes kinda. The main show area has various levels of pricing in the seating but it's such a small venue, there's no bad seat in the house. This week I heard Pauly Shore tell fascinating stories from his childhood. Great show and all the staff was fabulous. All the staff here is seriously so nice and everyone who has ever done shows here that I've heard from, has also been very happy with the staff from that side of things. It's really cool how they always are changing their cocktails seasonally and/or for special events. Even better? They always have at least one mocktail on the menu. I had said Non-Alcoholic cocktail and it was fire! I would tell you to get it, but it was Halloween themed and surely won't be there when you go. The Bourbon Room is a great location in Hollywood to see shows! I'll surely be back when something on their calendar piques my interest!

This place is closed. I went on on a Friday, 2/27, at 815p and the doors were closed and the lights were off.

4++ I came here for a comedy show and haven't been here for any other reason. I honestly can't remember if they served any food. I just got one there to get a couple drinks while watching the show. I will say though, that the service was prompt and friendly. Which is helpful when you're trying to get a comedy show underway. The room where the show happened felt newly renovated or at least it just felt really comfortable and had good air-conditioning. The decor was based on other iconic locations in Los Angeles, which I thought was cool. The vibes were good obviously because you need that to have a successful comedy show I think. We had a really good crowd that night and a comedians really got into it. It was one of the better shows in recent memory for me with some pretty big names. Every comedian that night killed it including Whitney Cummings, Bobby Lee, Drew Lynch, and Melissa Villasenor. Overall, a really great place to watch comedy shows at the very least. Had a great time here and definitely would love to come back to watch more shows in the future.

Worst of the worst. Myself and my friends purchased tickets for emo brunch today in Los Angeles. We arrived promptly at 1:30pm and were advised to stand in line. After inquiring we were informed that they were backed up. We waited 30 minutes before we were escorted in. Once inside we were seated in a hot and cramped area near the bar.

It is always a vibe at this place. We came in later in the evening and were welcomed with some chill hip-hop and an aura like no other. It was a dope place to just relax in and enjoy great music. Luckily, we had enough energy to stop by since we were already winding down for the night, but as soon as we heard some classic jams here, we got our second wind. The décor was great including the records they had on display as well!

The Bourbon Room is the perfect spot to stop for a cocktail and some live music in LA. I definitely love the vibes, they make a nice strong drink, and staff were very nice. I came for a friend's birthday party and liked the upstairs bar and stage setup. The decor is right up my alley, records, 70s vibes, and leopard print stage - a great look. I liked how the upstairs bar area is sectioned off from the stage as you can grab a drink and actually hear each other talk without the music overtaking the experience. On the backside of the bar is the stage area and I found the setup to be very comfortable. My friend and I snagged a leather sofa towards the front and enjoyed the music for hours. Really good, relaxing experience overall. Staff here were nice and I felt safe at this venue. They have security at the front entrance and there were plenty of security type bouncers upstairs. I liked that they had someone nearby the bathrooms which weirdly made me feel safe. Their bathroom setup is a little open concept so it made sense that they kept a staff nearby. Bartenders seemed nice overall and I will say 5 stars for making a stiff drink. Some of the best and strongest Jack and cokes this side of town. I felt bad for my friend though, she wasn't drinking and a soda was $6, I thought that was a little insane. Would be my only complaint as I like venues that support designated drivers and most bars give people soda on the house or for no more than $2.50. But it's a business and I get they need to make a profit, just found that a little unusual. Not my problem though bc I drink hahaha just noting that for others that don't. Really great music venue and bar overall. My friend had a great music birthday bash here and I appreciated that the staff made us girlies feel safe and that the vibes were comfortable. Definitely a great spot to add on your bar hoping rotation.

Went to a comedy show. Just enough of a large crowd to be energized but small enough to see everything. Cocktails were reasonably priced. Did not try the food. Next time.

This was my first time at The Bourbon Room and it did not disappoint. It was GREAT!! My friend invited me to watch Scissorhands the Musical and IT WAS AMAZING!! It was sooooooooo INTERACTIVE. Like I didnt know I needed to see Edward Scissorhands as a musical lol. You have to order a 2 drink and 2 food item. I am fasting so I ordered fries and the Bourbon glazed carrots. The fries were really good because they were crispy and the perfect size. I thought $17 for bourbon glazed carrots were a bit excessive for the price. BUT they were VERY delicious. I wish there were more for the price. It was sweet and it had nuts in it for a nice crunch factor. The sauce was so good. My friend and I were VIP so we sat in front of the stage. I am not even sure if those were good seats because there were also performances everywhere. But it was great view when the cast was on stage which was a majority of the time. The service was kind of ... well very slow... my fries and my friends burger and fries came out together but it took another 30 minutes for me to get the carrots. BUT it was a full house so I know they accommodated accordingly.. The singing was great. The band was great. The Bourbon Room is a vibe It has music plaques of your favorite artists. Ample couches. Privacy. It is right on Hollywood Blvd. Plenty of parking lots and metered parking.

The service was excellent. The bartender was very knowledgeable and knew exactly how to make a drink based on my description of the type of liquor and flavors I like. The place has a very chill and laid-back atmosphere with a great vibe.

It's been a couple years since I've been back to this place since my last experience. Yes I enjoyed my self so much and the live show it had. The drinks are so good bartenders are very nice and friendly. Like I said last review I love the decor and I love this place and I will definitely come back. I love the golden records one the walls and the LP bar stand.

It's been a LONG while since I've been in here. You know how you walk into someplace and just know you been there. Well this case, it was when it used to be called Cinespace. Many moons ago, where my company had its Christmas party. Well, the vibe is still pretty cool and chill. There was an event going on tonight which brought out people. We stopped off for a drink before our play. Bar area was pretty cool, which is always a plus. Seating was a decent amount as it can get busy. They still have the separate private room for shows, which happened to be going on this night. It's a cool Hollywood hipsterish scene.

We came in after 6pm a bit. The bar still empty. Sat down at the bar, drink were okay. Waiting for the show to start 1t 8

I was here for the Joey McIntyre show -- and it being my first time, I didn't really know how the venue worked. There was a large line outside on the sidewalk for ticketholders and a long wait (I should've gotten there earlier, like they recommended). It took a long time to make our way up the staircase and finally get to the door of the showroom. (I should've ordered a drink at the bar while I was waiting, but I was alone and didn't want to ask a stranger to hold my place in line.) And because they were trying to expedite things, they had a staffer scanning tickets in line -- but then it wasn't clear that meant I shouldn't have my ticket scanned again when I got to the door for seating, because there was some confusion over my ticket showing that it had already been scanned. Anyway, I got seated on a barstool on the far right of the house against a wall. I had thought it would be more like a dinner theater setup since there's a food menu, but there would've been nowhere to put a plate. Still, I thought I'd order a drink -- but even though I saw servers running back and forth and delivering items to other people, no one ever stopped to talk to me (or anyone else sitting near me) so I couldn't order a drink. I suppose I could've gotten up and ordered one from the bar, but it wasn't clear how I could save my seat and I didn't want to miss any of the show. The show itself was great, and I liked the kind of upscale dive bar/rock and roll decor of the place with industrial-chic touches. But the seating was super uncomfortable and I'd wished I'd eaten before. I'd come back if there were a show that I was dying to see that I couldn't find elsewhere -- but I don't think I'll be returning here for the venue itself.

My wife and I had the best time at the Bourbon Room! For both of us, this was our first time and I'm 61 y.o. (we're all getting up there, right?) Great friendly venue, excellent food, everyone on the staff was so friendly and accommodating. A well run, down to earth place. You truly feel like you're at home with friends. Food service was also exceptional. We were catered-to, checked on, updated - Leah was a wonderful food host as were other members of the team. Very grateful to have a wonderful experience getting to watch our friend Riki Rachtman perform on stage and share his Hollywood life experiences with the rest of us. Many thanks to The Bourbon Room for building a memorable experience!One

This place is a pretty cool establishment. When you first enter the door you have to walk up a flight and half of stairs. The bar is right there once you walk in. The server was quick and nice enough. Once we walked back to the party it was jumping. The dj's were nice playing a mix of old and new hip hop and r&b. It was bottle girls and ppl all on the dance floor. This was Juneteenth even and it was alright. I got to experience an LA night club.

I visited The Bourbon Room for the Mimosa Fest Brunch. The event organizer totally mislead everyone and did not have the entertainment that was advertised. However, the owner of The Bourbon Room, Matt, personally came and apologize for the errors he did not make. Furthermore, he showed us superb hospitality to make up for the disappoint even though it wasn't his fault. This is the first time I have experienced southern hospitality in Cali, so for that reason in addition to the friendly wait and bartender staff (Joe & Eric), I will be back to The Bourbon Room and recommend that you visit as well!

I typically try to avoid coming up to Hollywood Blvd like the plague , but coming to the Bourbon Room has me rethinking that. I had bought tickets to see the performance that was showing at this venue (The Misfit Cabaret Circus. Great show!). I expected the joint to be some touristy spot, but was actually surprised! You walk upstairs to this pretty cool looking bar! Had like a vintage, vinyl feel to it if that makes sense. You enter the venue room and it looks even more cool! The food was surprisingly pretty freaking tasty! The food had no right being that tasty. I ordered the Fried Chicken Sandwich and it came with fries. It was up there in chicken sandwiches! Cocktails: Order the Bourbon & Bees or the Passion Margarita. My two cents: I came to see a good show and was surprised by how delicious the food and drinks were. I'm mos def gonna keep my eye on what's happening at The Bourbon Room.

Super cool spot. Very trendy and hip, with fun shows and acts, as well as a fun ambiance that is nice to just hang around in. Drinks aren't cheap, but they're on par for the area, and overall the service is prompt and friendly. Definitely would recommend for the cool vibes. Not a place to *get* drunk, but a great place to *be* drunk

Attending a concert slated for another venue, The Bourbon Room so kindly stepped in to accommodate everyone when that venue had a fire. Having mobility issues, I called ahead, leaving a voicemail to see if they had an elevator. I rec'd a reply quite quickly, solving all my issues. Having never been here before, it was a wonderful surprise. The venue was a perfect size; ALL the employees were just out of their way friendly. I felt so comfortable here. I ordered chicken strips and a drink. I don't remember what drink it was, but it was GOOD! The strips, without a doubt the best strips I've ever tasted. The show fantastic, the sound, the lighting, everything done to perfection. Never heard of this place before, but would not hesitate to go back.

This is the second time I went t to the bourbon room with my partner. The food is okay, but the service is terrible. By default, they force a 15% gratuity. They give the worst service. They just take your order and forget about you. If you are going to see a show, be wary of getting the VIP ticket. I paid for a Tier 1 (of 3) for this event. I was going to be bumped down to a Tier 2 so a group of friends would sit together. So instead of accepting of getting bumped down, for a Tier 1 ticket, they made us share a table with 3 other people. A 2-top now has become a 5 top. I would never recommend going here if you can avoid it, but sometimes your local artists choose to go here so you don't have a choice. However, you can choose to drink and eat elsewhere before or after the show.

A time was had!!! We came in for a 930p set and it was a full house. We sat in a reserved little corner so everything was comfortable for us and we had a great view. This venue is split into 3 different sections, atleast from what I remember. One in particular had the dj and the bar. Great music, expensive drinks. We paid about 67$ for 3 Henny shots. Back to the comedy show, it was a great act although there was one too many gay jokes for me. Would have loved for some other topics to get touched on. the audience was engaging and we had great service. The food was honestly way better than I expected. Typical bar food, but flavorful nonetheless. I got the fries and it seemed like they were house made, crispy, seasoned very well and sprinkled with Parmesan cheese. Also ordered their soft pretzel, which was jumbo size, more than enough for 2 people. I wasn't crazy about their cheese dip but it still complimented the pretzel. There's a 2 order min for every person, enjoy!!

The bourbon room is a fantastic experience, and I highly recommend it for anyone who's on the fence! When I initially read some of the reviews it made me uncertain, but after going to their recent Brandon Rogers show I found this place absolutely worth it. The space is nice, clean, and generally well taken care of with really great energy and vibes. The people who served myself and my party were incredibly kind individuals with good energy. We had a fantastic server that night with bright green nails, unfortunately didn't catch her name but I hope this review finds her well, who was extremely attentive to many tables all throughout the night including ours and she did great. All waiters were on top of their game, honestly. The food was really good: but unfortunately their vegan burger, the only option for anyone who doesn't eat meat, was alright. Not delicious but perfectly passable for my fellow vegan, vegetarian, or pescatarian friends! Overall, I certainly plan to come back to this venue again. 10/10!

So I've now been here three times. Twice for comedy shows and once for a Depeche Mode cover band. Liked: The venue is pretty to look at. I know it was created for an immersive version of Rock of Ages. Generally good site lines. The sound is great. The bathroom was large and clean. The door guy remembered me. Mixed: The food is hit or miss. At the first comedy show, I had a cheeseburger and fries. The fries were well-salted and good. Cheeseburger was pretty big. The 2nd time I had the chicken fingers, which had too much breading, I thought it was underdone. Because it was so dark, I couldn't tell if they were done or not. Oh, they charge extra for their "ranch dressing," which isn't really ranch dressing. The fries were okay. Disliked: The check-in process is slow. They need more people doing check-in and seating people. This would encourage more sales as they will buy more drinks waiting for the show. Service has been hit or miss. The venue is so dark you can't see your food.

Recently went to check out the QT show, which was awesome, and the venue was perfect too! Happy hour until 7pm. Chicken sandwich and fries hit the spot before the show. Drinks were good, but a bit weak, I would stick with beer. Service was good at the beginning but a bit spotty after the show started. Check your bill to make sure you get HH pricing.

Joey McIntyre & his part as Tom in "Drag the Musical" brought me to The Bourbon Room this past weekend. Thank you to the people on staff who made my entire night not just incredible, but actually, happen: the bouncers encouraged me to check upstairs for any available last-minute tickets; the guys selling tickets were as nice as can be; a fabulous drag queen sat us in the back of the bar which turned out to be the best seat in the house (see pics of Joey performing a scene a couple feet from me); & the bartenders made good & strong Bloody Mary's & Belvedere & Sodas. The Playbill was fittingly called the Slaybill, as Nick Adams & Alaska Thunderf*ck did indeed slay their roles as rival drag venue owners. Fun show, perfect intimate venue, & a night with my favorite New Kid that would've never happened had I taken the "all tickets sold out" online message as the final answer.

A wonderful music venue. The prices on the drinks were very reasonable and the staff were fabulous.

came to support local up and coming artist and was greeted by a so called "bouncer" , who wanted to take my real state ID (that he was claiming was fake). The venue overall is bigger than I thought and ambiance was great. Please hire and or train ID checkers that know what they are doing. If you are relying on a machine to check IDs, please get one that actually works.

Fun times await you at the Bourbon Room. We had the best rainy Monday night ever here. I love that there are separate rooms you can stop by just for the bar lounge and have a cocktail or you can purchase a ticket to a specific show. See there calendar for dates and availability. We are big Amy Winehouse fans so we couldn't miss the opportunity to catch Dear Amy band. They did not disappoint. This is a perfect venue for a classy show. The ambience is eclectic all music themed throughout. The lighting is dim lit. The cocktails flow nicely with the vibes. Can't recommend specific ones, but I'm sure you'll enjoy the one you choose. Didn't have any food either. So I can't comment on that. But from what I saw the portions looked ample and smells were great. Our server Tiana was polite, attentive and fun. She was tipped well. Parking is a little tough. I didn't see an elevator, be warned the staircase entrance is steep as this is an older building. Other than that we hope you enjoy your visit as much as we did. Excellent date night stop.

We came here to see Sam Morril. They were about 100 guests inside. The line was pretty manageable. Cover is 2 drinks or 1 drink and 1 food item. Hard liquors were $17 $9 for beer $10 for appetizers and $17 for burger or sandwich in Aug, 2022 so the minimum cover is about $30 per guest. The ambiance was nice but the sound was not that great. Also the mic kept getting cut off.

Dope AF must stop by once the music is great and the atmosphere excellent . Definitely a lot of history in this joint . A great place to kick back and take it all in

Very nice venue. Very spacious. We went upstairs and was surpised at how beautiful this club is. Bartenders had a great pour, drinks were decently priced. Plenty of places to sit, big dance floor and bar area. They have a stage area in the back, so I know they do great things here. Thank you James for letting me know about this place.

I attended this venue solo last night to see a marvelous musical. This review is not about the musical. It is about the venue itself. This is one of the coolest looking places I've been to in quite some time. Kind of retro nightclub disco vibe. The background music playing in the bar/ lounge area was spectacular. The folks collecting tickets were welcoming and very personable. The set up in the actual auditorium was cozy and cool. Here's where my love for this venue ended: I ordered a Caesar salad ($17), french fries ($7), and a passionfruit margarita.($19). My server (can't remember his name, but he was wearing a black tee with vinyl records) presented me a bill of $53. The screen he gave me to sign on his portable device had the $53 total and suggested tip percentages on there and a place for my signature. I'm happy to pay for what I ordered, but there was no itemization for what I was being charged. I informed him that I would like to see itemization before I sign the bill. At which he replied, "Oh, that was the previous screen. You'll get a print out once you sign". My thought was that I should have been allowed to actually SEE the previous screen before being asked to sign. Anyway, since there were suggested tip percentages on the screen, I notified him that I would be tipping him in cash. It was at that time that he informed me that a 15% tip had been added to the bill. I felt this was a bit deceptive in that I wasn't notified at the onset that the tip would be added. Nor was I notified when I was given that screen with suggested tip amounts that the tip had already been added. Had I not inquired about a cash tip, I would've unknowingly tipped him twice. Especially since I didn't get a print out until after I signed the bill. Thank God I didn't blindly sign because the math wasn't matching. So, my tip for any future attendees is to 1) ask for an itemized receipt and 2) confirm that your tip has already been added to your bill. Unfortunately, I ALWAYS tip well - more than 18%. But when a venue chooses the tip FOR me, they get the tip they choose! IN SPITE OF my two-star rating, I do recommend this venue. I actually plan to return...but will be armed with knowledge of their billing practices. In looking at recent reviews, I'm not alone.

We had tickets for a show and I appreciated the emails they sent in advanced detailing parking options and what to expect. The staff were all really nice and made it a fun experience all around. I will say that it's like other small venues where you probably don't want to see it with the lights on or look too closely. The orientation of the bathrooms was a bit strange and seemed small for such a big venue. This place could be great if they invested in remodeling and building it out. Like others have mentioned, they automatically add gratuity so look at the bill before tipping twice. Parking is super convenient!

Recently visited this venue for a second, and likely last, time. Before we even got in the door, the doorman gave my husband grief about wearing sandals to attend a (comedy) show - "This is a theater. Do you have different shoes in the car?" - and was rude to me for being annoyed about his condescending attitude. We regularly attend all kinds of theater in LA, and have never once had an issue with our attire being inappropriate. He did eventually let us in, but yeah, it was not a great first impression. Once we got inside, the doors were not open for the theater yet even though the door time was listed as a half hour before we arrived. We waited around in a disorganized sort of line before they finally opened the doors 40 minutes late, and took their time seating each party individually. In the meantime, we saw plenty of other men wearing sandals, so I guess the doorman was very busy lecturing people that evening. Our waitress was friendly, but we had to ask for cups for the water on the table, and the cups that came ended up being plastic. The food was passable, but overpriced. Our waitress did not bring the bill until the very end of the show, when we were all in a hurry, and lumped our bill in with our friend's. She also didn't show us the itemized receipt, so I couldn't see that there was automatic gratuity included, and I ended up tipping her much more than I intended. I will say that other sections seemed to have better waitstaff who brought their checks earlier, so we may have just had bad luck with her. The show itself was excellent, and I would love to see it again, but if they do it at this venue, it's gonna be a pass for me. There are too many great comedy theaters in this city to deal with places like this.

Ok from the street this place doesn't seem like it is in the inside . It has chill vibes. It was very warm waking in to the well lit bar. To be honest, has to be one of the most attractive staff I've seen in a long time . I enjoyed the drink .I had a banana tasting old fashion. It was quite good . I'm new to the neighborhood, I will be back with friends

This was my first time visiting the Bourbon Room to see comedian Theo Von perform. It was amazing to enjoy his act in such an intimate space, especially considering he played at a significantly larger venue the following night. My experience from start to finish was superb; the ambiance was amazing, and the venue was comfortable and inviting. The owner, Scott, went above and beyond in terms of service and care, and it was so refreshing to be met with such excellent treatment. I didn't order food, but from what I did see, it looked delicious. The tickets were very fairly priced compared to most LA venues these days, and the two gentlemen working around the ticket podium were super nice and helpful. I'm so glad I was introduced to this venue, and my great experience guaranteed I will be returning!

I've been wanting to go to The Bourbon Room for some time as I see desirable shows listed. I finally made it to see the Scissorhands musical. I was a fan of the old Rockwell venue and saw it there years ago. Much like the Rockwell, The Bourbon Room is an intimate venue (my favorite) and the performers used much of the room walking amongst the audience singing their hearts out. I also really appreciated the security guard (named Blue) as he was very friendly and kept me company and feeling safe while my husband parked/picked up the car. He still managed to do his job, however I didn't feel weird standing outside alone. All in all, I'll be back Bourbon Room! You're now one of my new favorite venues!

It was very disappointing to purchase a VIP ticket which promised "front row or elevated booth" only to be escorted to a folding chair on a platform when I got there. (I purchased the ticket 3 weeks before the show.) How is that VIP?? There wasn't even a table to place my drink or the food I was going to order. When I asked the escort to give me an actual VIP seat he started to argue with me and then finally said to wait there and he would work on it. After 15 minutes I convinced another escort to find me an actual VIP seat and he eventually moved me to the edge of at table on the other side of the venue. I thoroughly enjoyed the show but the treatment before the show makes me wonder if I want to return.

Attended the Emo Brunch event held here last weekend and really enjoyed my time here. The staff was great and really accommodating with all of the people attending. The servers came by often to check up on us and offer us more drinks. The restrooms were kept very clean as well. The ambience and decorations were also lovely. Loved all the music/rock and roll inspired decorations here. There is also plenty of seating area in their lounge area. Lots of nice leather couches. Parking can be a little difficult since it is located on Hollywood Blvd. Just plan ahead and hopefully you can get lucky with street parking. If you don't get lucky, there is a parking structure not too far away around the corner owned by LA DOT (Los Angeles Department of Transportation). The lot is LADOT Lot#702 on Ivar Ave. Parking prices there weren't too bad.

1 stars for this Hollywood Cliche of a nightclub. The "Security Guard", James (who is actually a host or usher or something) repeatedly threatened to kick us out for being 'too loud' when I cheered AFTER the performers finished a song. The manager, who I so 'karenly' insisted i IANconvenience (get it, the managers name is Ian) had very poor training in responding to patron complaints and frustration. definitely won't be supporting live music at this pretentious venue anymore! The musicians were good though!

Great venue and great lineup for comedy, but not enough crowd control at the tables. A shame, because I've been to many many supernova shows in studio city and Hollywood, and am at the Improv every week, and have never had to deal with such a disrespectful audience. The couple next to me was straddling each other, talking loudly and obnoxiously through all the comedy sets, and at one point the girl was resting her head on the guy's lap. Given the level of talent of the lineup and the cost of food/drinks, the lack of crowd control and security was not acceptable for a standup show. If this venue is serious about comedy, it should take some notes from the Comedy Store and Improv and not allow heckling/extreme drunkenness. If I were coming for another type of show, or just for a drink, I'd recommend it. Passion fruit margarita and Caesar salad were both delicious.

The Bourbon Room has a lot going for it, however, poor server and weak drinks brings it down. It's a great place for live music as the sound system is top notch. Also, the food is quite good. However, the servers, while friendly, seem to be lacking the experience to be as good as they should be, for a venue of this nature. Plus, the cocktails are very weak, considering their premium prices. Add to the fact that a 15% service charge is automatically added to each check, brings this seemingly excellent venue, down to a less than average level.

Attended the Tarantino Live event last night with my husband. Dinner was so good, we got the NY strip steak with Parmesan cheese. Food came out super fast and it was delicious. Parking, I don't know about because we took an Uber. Attire: it depends on who and what occasion you're going for. There was a mixture of people wearing jeans with vans to people wearing dress shoes, slacks or dresses and heels for women. I was on a date so of course I wore a dress and heels, but next time I'll wear something more casual. Bar is fully stocked and bartenders can create anything you ask for. The show was awesome, loud and bright. We loved it. They did a very good job incorporating important scenes from Tarantino's movies.

Bartender is rude,bad service,with the amount they charged for the drinks they should at least be polite and give good service.

The place is much larger than I anticipated and really good looking! We attended the Tarantino Live show here and the show was awesome! When we arrived, it was still happy hour, so we grabbed a fried chicken sandwich and some drinks. The sandwich was much better than I thought it would be! The cocktails are a bit weak, so stick to well drinks, beer, or White Claw. The service was lovely before the show, but during and trying to close out at the end was a bit of a mess, especially since not all the pricing was accurate and we needed out billed changed before closing out. Would come back to see another cool show!

Came to see English Beat, advertised on website to start at 8p, doors at 7p. They didn't start until 10p, and when they did, it seemed as if they didn't do sound check. Bouncers said the band had been in and out all night though. Bought tickets at the show to avoid online service fee but ended up paying even more. An advertised $35 ticket ended up being over $45. That's BS! The women's bathroom was a literal shitshow. There was no lighting (probably by design so you can't see how disgusting it is), so people were using their phone flashlight to see. There are too many other small venue clubs that are better run so I will NOT return.

This was my second time to The Bourbon Room and seeing 44 - The Obama Musical. A great experience on both visits, but last night.... Was even better than the first time. A limited menu was included with our ticket price and all the food was delicious. The staff was attentive and each person that we encountered was kind and had a sense of humor. I didn't drink but my friends said the drinks were really good. Then... the show. The talent was unbelievable. They will be headed to NYC soon. We raved about them the whole way home. Thank you to all at The Bourbon Room for an unforgetable night.

Food was good, service was more self-serve, place was clean and open. Drinks were pricey.
