I’m easily drawn in by a menu that offers a gin drink with an egg white foam. Its a classic that is becoming harder and harder to find. That said their Mic drop gives raspberry smoothie in the BEST WAY! The mint is fresh and their south side is sippable or chuggable depending on your vibe. Lol the atmosphere is fun and relaxed. Worth stopping in!

Came here for happy hour and dinner love the food, the workers are friendly and attentive. The food was delicious especially the chicken and waffles. My go to drink would be the whiskey Houston, it taste amazing light and fruity but packs a punch. Overall great place.

We always have so much fun when we do a karaoke night here. The staff is incredibly friendly and accommodating (April is amazing!), and the karaoke rooms are clean, have fun lighting, and great songs. I couldn't recommend it more!!

We found this restaurant when we were browsing on google maps since the other place that we decided to go close earlier on Monday. It is just 10 min from our AirBnB. It is a gem indeed. The atmosphere is great, the service is excellent and the food is delightful delicious. We ordered 2 appetizers and 1 entree and the serving size is just good for two persons and amazingly we cleared the plate clean. And the sauces, they are to die for. And two bloated ladies walked slowly back to our airBnB with big smile on our face. Definitely highly recommended to dine here.

This has become our go-to spot for karaoke! The rooms are spacious and clean. Parkings easy, they have a lot right next door. Great selection of songs and you can also search for songs on YouTube. The service is always great and people are incredibly friendly, especially April!

Came here to celebrate a best friends birthday party. We all had a great time. The karaoke rooms were really clean and spacious. We had 13 people for our party and still very comfortable. Only drawback is, if you want to sing any English or Spanish music you have to look it up on YouTube and hope you find a karaoke version of your song. Drinks are pretty pricey as well, but once your in the groove, you kinda forget. Check it out for yourself.

I brought a group of friends here for karaoke last Saturday and we had an absolute blast! I wanted to give a special shout out to Jack, who was our server that evening. Jack was so friendly and laid back which put all of us at ease, and he was very patient with my questions about the song selector keyboard. We were well looked after all evening! This was my second time at The Venue for karaoke and I gotta say, I doubt I'll ever go elsewhere in LA. The vibes are great, the rooms are comfortable, the drinks are excellent, and the mix of karaoke machine Youtube is ideal- any song you want, you can do. The booking process is quite easy- a mix of automated and email, so it still has a human element which I appreciate. My one and only suggestion would be to run the AC in the rooms after a group has been in for an hour or so. Once you start dancing and getting silly it gets a little hot in there.
