Super cool old school L.A. spot. Great place to catch a band, have some drinks and chill with your friends. The Paramount has excellent sound, a nice cozy stage and a large dance floor in an historic second floor location. The staff, bartenders and security were all super cool and professional. Parking is street, might want to get there early to find a spot. I highly recommend. Happy Trails!

Had a really good time here the other night when I came to see Mikel Erentxun perform. It was my first time coming to this venue and I enjoyed it greatly.

Not only was this place fairly easy to find but I also really like to see that people attending the show were granted free parking! Just one block away there was a corner lot with workers directing people to parking spots. A big thank you to the venue for making this happen as it definitely saves you the headache of having to find a parking spot. Plus it felt really safe to be able to park somewhere where there is a lot of light and people.

After entering the venue, I noticed it was not very big but there was still a really good crowd there. The show sold out and there was still a lot of room in there, which I really liked. Nothing is worse than having to be inside a venue where everyone is crammed in there like sardines. They also have a big bar as you enter the second floor where they do the shows.

The stage was also very up and close to the audience. There is pretty much nothing separating the performers from the people watching which I also enjoyed because it allows us to get a better view of the stage and performers. Additionally, the sound was also very good and I could hear everything clearly, from the piano to the backup vocals. Not bad at all !

Also, I’m happy the first show I got to see here was Mikel Erentxun. He played an amazing show and he really shows how he loves what he is doing and takes great pride in his music and work. I hope to come back here soon and see more artists play.

My favorite venue in LA! Great little venue! Loved the space and the sound was good all night! They had a projector behind the band which is cool for any acts with an AV package. They also had free ice cold water out all night — love to see it!
