The Wiltern Theater Review

It's another of the many classic beautiful theaters we are lucky to have in Los Angeles. They share much in common. Sound is best on the floor, and better toward the center. Balcony suffers. Bathrooms are always too few in these old theatres, especially if you drink beer! One thing they do well at the Wiltern is the bars. There are numerous bars and the wait in line is minimal. Food is nothing, so eat before you come. The time showing on your ticket is when the doors open so save the wait in the long line that goes down the block and come 45 minutes later.

Great venue! We parked next door at Ralph s, which was super easy (not the cheapest, but worth the convenience). Clean venue, friendly staff, gorgeous decor. There was a line before the door opened, but it moved quickly. The security staff did a great job getting everyone through.

THE WILTERN THEATRE
Los Angeles Historic Cultural Monument (LAHCM) #118 and Art Deco-Style Movie Palace

Built in 1931 and named for its location at the intersection of Wilshire Boulevard + Western Avenue. Art Deco architectural style.

I had often seen The Wiltern while driving past the theatre on Wilshire Blvd or Western Ave. It looked like a run-down old theatre to me, probably playing very old movies from back in the day. Then one day I finally got a chance to go inside and discovered this GORGEOUS ART DECO PALACE inside!! =O

I was supposed to see Lukas Graham perform here back in Feb. 2019 but unfortunately they had to reschedule for Oct. 2019. I was going to be abroad during that time so I had to ask for a refund. Everything went super smoothly got my refund and I was able to keep the CDs they were giving out with the purchase! I walk by here all the time since I live close by and it s so sweet that with what s currently going on they put signs to stay healthy and songs that are epic during the covid era! Love this place and hope to one day be able to enjoy a concert inside!

What a beautiful, historic theater with friendly staff. It felt like I was in a movie from the 1930s. It s taken me decades to finally visit this famed theater and it was wonderful. My favorite part of the experience was that the theater is located right at the Wilshire/Western Metro stop. So I got to park my car for free at the North Hollywood station and then take a relaxing train ride directly to my concert. This is the way that LA should operate! A fantastic evening at a super-elegant, classy venue.

Beautiful appearance
Lots of artists performed here.
I have a lot of good memories here.

One day I will have the opportunity to enjoy a show.

Great place to see a game or a concert ... it is perfectly located by the bay... I always have a good time here despite 13 dollars beers

The iconic Wiltern will completely dazzle you with their interior, comparative of old style, classic, upscale Hollywood. Absolutely gorgeous! The staff is extremely helpful and seem happy to be there! The shows are nothing but quality and I had the privilege of seeing this genius performance featured on the marquee, and am looking forward to a return trip! Thanks all! A great place for great fun!!!

The Wiltern is as beautiful a music venue can be, both in its sound and aesthetics. Built in the early 1930's, it has stood the test of time and continues to marvel in contemporary times. I've seen so many shows at the Wiltern, it never gets old and you will be taken back to a time when things were simple, yet feels so new. I recently saw Elbow there, and they sounded amazing, and all because of amazing people who have kept it alive and captivating for all who enter its doors.
