Awesome venue!! They have metal detectors and security for your own safety. They have a few stalls in the women's restroom and the AC wasn't working. I felt bad for the lady helping women inside. Do better! Anyways, the sound was perfect and the bartenders were great. I asked for my own mix cranberry juice, sprite and tequila. It was so good and refreshing. Will recommend.

Had a great time there! The staff was friendly and kind genuinely seemed to like their jobs from the metal detector people to the bartenders. They also had a water fill station with cups and the theater gave an old Hollywood feel. The doors opened at 7pm I was in line at 7pm GA wrapping around the corner yet I got in in 33 minutes. They seemed organized and level headed. The theater itself is so nice and small it's not cramped I still had a good view even from the bar area. If i would've had GA and gotten there at 8pm I still would've had a good view. They also had small side raised platforms which my cousin enjoyed because she's 5 feet tall. The place looked like a cross between an opera house and a greek painting it's pretty cool I would pay to sit on their floor and just look around. The show went by well and we genuinely enjoyed everything this theater had to offer. It gives NOVO vibes but better no stupid columns that block the view. i look forward to the next time I come here cause I was genuinely worried cause I had never been there.

I saw Frances Karel and Max last night and it was epic. The atmosphere has me still pumped the day after. It was my first live concert since pandemic started.
I really liked that one can pay for parking online or via an app before hand to the lot right next to the Fonda Theatre. The staff was super prompt to check for vaccinations, IDs, and tickets while folks were still in line. They had a streamline security process for entry. The doors opened at 8 and the show started promptly on time.
The sound system is really well integrated and balance so I didn't feel too much bass unlike some other venues. I could hear the singer clearly along with the accompanying instruments. I had a great view from the floor and never felt crowded. They also have a small balcony and I really like the intimate nature of the theatre.
I will definitely make the trek again from the Laguna all the way up to Hollywood/LA to attend more shows at the Fonda.

Absolutely adorable, has a classy charm to it. I will say one problem is that there doesn't appear to be any way for disabled people to reach the balcony area where the seats were. My cousin had to basically pull herself up two flights with the hand rail and hop her way down.
