Awful experience for the Luis Miguel concert, they opened the gates at 6:45pm, no alcohol allowed, the staff without a clue, all this reflects a poor management, concerned only in making sales, don't even start me on the shuttle service, just a chaotic night, is time to reconsider coming back to the bowl, Luis Miguel did his best, but the screen was behind the lights, really bad experience, shame on the management
Going to the Hollywood Bowl is a fun experience, especially if you have a picnic before an event begins. Strongly recommend not parking there, but instead take one of the many shuttle buses that take you there from around the Los Angeles area.
Favorite summer outing! Great with friends and family or a nice date night out with my husband
A legendary place, but the parking and traffic situation is a nightmare.
Excellent acoustics and visuals partly due to the natural, hilly environment surrounding the venue
An LA landmark. If you like music outdors then this place is a must go.
Super fabulous place very friendly people good service
Mariachi Night for my 73rd Surprise Birthday! My bellas daughters took me and we sat and listened to the world's best of the best musicians & singers. A Gala to beat all Galas.
Classic venue for a truly one-of-a-kind concert experience.
Entertainment was great. Enforcement of smoke free zone in the seats was non-existant. Staff should walk aisles enforcing house rules.
We went for the first time to see Kevin Hart and it was an awesome experience. You can bring your own liquor and picnic basket if you like. They also sell wine and beer which is great. Being in an outdoor venue was a new experience. We will be back for more events. I only gave it 4 stars because the parking is HORRIBLE! Take the shuttle from Hollywood and highland.
Largest auditorium in the nation has great artists of many different genres. There isn't a bad seat in the house. Helpful, informative staff and quality security. Close to shops and restaurants. Light rail accessibe. Fun for all ages
A MUST! Check schedule ahead of time for lease events. Lease events don't allow you to bring in alcohol. One of my favorite venues in LA period for any show!
What a wonderful evening celebrating LA Phil's 100th year at the Bowl. The picnic areas were filled with festive attendees. Saw the YOLA, LA Phil, Herbie Hancock, Katy Perry and Kali Uchis. Great close with John Williams directing Emperor March!
Our guide took us to the bowl and told us all about it and people that have petformed there. Great to see.
Love this place in GTA 5. That s where I hear all my concerts
No better venue to enjoy a outdoor concert. Excellent sound quality throughout.
I like the bench seats, gave plenty of room for 2. You can rent a cushion if you like. The reason for 4 stars is for the wait time to get food. The workers were fast and friendly but serving 100+ people in a 15 minute intermission wasn't working out. I saw a good amount of people walk away.
Amazing sound, even in section M row 20! Large screens to see the action on stage.
It was amazing and the staff was great. Granted, Tony Bennett can make anyplace awesome, but I'd see just about anything at this venue. Classic.
Saw the Muppets Take the Bowl and the show plus the fireworks was incredible. Parking is as much a nightmare as you hear, but the staff and attendants are all kind and willing to help you. A fun and beautiful venue.
Awesome famous location. Parking and traffic SUCK but just be prepared to wait and you'll be fine. Excellent concert, excellent time!
Great place to see your favorite musicians have a picnic, but the parking really sucks so you want to take the shuttle
I have enjoyed my concert going experience greatly and with a profound sense of renewal at the Bowl; by using the shuttle service instead of self parking at the venue. There are several locations from which one can board the shuttle to the Bowl and save pr precious time; thus, enhancing the entire evening from beginning to end. More time for socializing, eating, drinking, and then the Music..... that's what life is about...
And a little more drinking since driving is not required.
Great concert venue and great cardio. Them hills ain't no joke!
Hollywood Bowl is a fun historic venue parking sucks but it's all part of the experience
If there is a picnic available for the concert pack your picnic! It's the only way to go!
All I can say is EXCELLENT customer service from Josh and Cory! I appreciate their patience! Thanks guys!!!!!
One more place off my bucket list. It was a great way to see Stars Wars with a live orchestra.
Nice concert venue, but huge pain in the --- to get out afterword
most favorite venue for all concerts
PERIOD...
THE END!
I like the views but the wooden bench seating is pretty uncomfortable, especially for people with long legs.
Awesome venue. Love having a picnic in the garden box seats while watching an amazing concert. Priceless!
Spacious theatre, hard to find parking and super crowed so better go at least 1-2 hours in advance if you don't want to miss the show.
Traffic and parking are a mess, but the venue is quite spectacular.
If you haven t been, go check this out. Awesome venue
Great line up of concerts with some of your favorite artists like James Taylor. Getting in and out of the parking lot takes a lot of time and patience.
Little Mermaid in concert was fabulous. Love this venue. Just a pain to get out sometimes. Overall a great experience.
I go to eight to ten shows every season. Movie's, Symphony, Popular singers and musicians. Always a great time. Traffic and parking getting to the bowl is terrible. Leave early if you can or take one of the shuttle busses. The last show I saw was Cafe Tecvba and one of the best I have seen there.
Garden box seats are the best, there is a table in the box for dining.
If you park in the Bowl lot ($20.00) if you are lucky to get on the back end of the row, if you wait a little while you can back up and they will let you through the barricades for the Taxi/Uber line. No waiting to get out with everyone else and it is a straight shot to the 101.
The jazz concert was great. People were friendly. Weather was nice.
Love this venue, you can find fresh sushi, great beer and drinks and is super comfortable.
Wonderful concerts and movies here, take the Metro (and the free shuttle on Orange) and avoid the parking nightmare. Most events allow you to bring in your own alcohol and food. Perfect date night!
A concert scene, roomy, around car parks. The attractiveness of a place depends rather on what is happening there. Larger parties can block the area well.
Don t call yourself a true Angelino until you ve gone to a concert at the Bowl. Literally all the big names come through covering all genres of music and theater. I suggest utilizing Uber to get you to and from the Bowl, traffic is horrible at any time of day around here. Only downside is the price of beer, over $10 for a Heineken is not at all appealing to me. But when in Rome
Fun place to be with the crowd to enjoy some great entertainment. Traffic and parking can be overwhelming at times.
The bowl is my favorite music venue in Los Angeles for large shows. It's massive, so the back sections are quite far from the stage, but the design and massive video monitors do a good job making it not seem quite so far.
Great place, great sound at an amazing historic venue.
Fantastic venue! Bring your own food & drinks. Parking is minimal & a nightmare but shuttles available from all over, convenient, time saving & well organized. Disabled patrons have numerous options & assistance.
I highly recommend the vegetarian bahn mi, worth every penny of the $11.
Great place for a concert, but parking then leaving the venue is a hot mess!
Awesome place,an all time favorite place,to hear and see great performers.
This is my first visit to the Hollywood Bowl I saw Melissa Etheridge and Taj Mahal it's a night that I always remember and always cherish this experience I had great time I'll definitely go back
Easy transportation to the bowl from Lakewood via shuttle. Plenty of time for a pleasant dinner. SHOW WAS FABULOUS!
Entertainment is outside in an opened environment with security.
Attended the NKOTB Full Package Tour concert. Great venue!!!
Wonderful evening at Mozart Under the Stars at the Hollywood Bowl. Once again the LA Phil executed an impeccable performance. Loved the venue, friendly staff, and enjoyed the show while sipping rose and munching on fruit, cheese and crackers we brought from home. Fabulous night all-around.
I love this place. It's beautiful and the audio quality is great. Parking is a TERROR but that's it.
A terrible experience getting dropped off at the ride share location.
Seen concerts here since the Beatles in the 60's...
It is great to be outside and watch a film. Leaving this place was a nightmare. People unaware of their surroundings, children in strollers, and insane parking lots. Great time at the event though.
A Los Angeles classic, every visit to this city should include the bowl in its itinerary.
Wonderful place, excellent organization of events and concerts, David Gilmour was an unforgettable experience.
Fantastic outdoor venue set into the hills of Hollywood. The music sounded great and there probably isn't a bad seat in the place. As it is everywhere, concessions are on the pricey side, but in true California style, you can buy a whole bottle of wine to take in and enjoy with your friends! We'd highly recommend parking blocks away and walking to get there. The traffic in, out, and around the venue is pretty crazy!!! We were happy not to be in that mess after the show.
This place is great...the singers were very funny and the staff very friendly. Drinks were not cheap, but it is well worth the entertainment!
Always a good time coming here, bring blankets to sit on (bench can be a bit rough) or to put over your shoulders if it gets chili. Think about bringing food and drinks! They sell all this but you can bring your own pick nick. They do not allow cameras with interchangeable lenses, leave your DSLR camera at home or you will have to check it...
you can only see the show if you paid more than 150 because cheap seat can not even see anything so Hollywood bowl should cheap the price
The Hollywood Bowl is a legendary outdoor amphitheater located in the heart of Los Angeles, California.

And if you're looking for something extra special, consider booking one of their VIP packages which include access to exclusive lounges with private bars and premium seating options.
Of course, none of this would be possible without an incredible lineup of performers year after year.
