The Echoplex

I very politely asked the bartender if there was draft beer and she was insanely rude in her response, train your employees to act better or fire them I don’t care, that bartender was needlessly rude to me and it really rubbed me the wrong way.

Very respectful staff. Super accommodating coming from a wheelchair user. Good vibes!

Great place for a show! Great sound. Parking will be a challenge though.

My first time at this venue was very unpleasant. I was invited to a show at 9am the day of the show and tried to reach their phone number and email on their contact page for ADA accommodations. After not hearing anything from them, I decided to head to the venue and tough it out despite having a disability where I should not be waiting in hot, sunny weather outside on the ground. When it’s about time to go in, someone showed up who had apparently got through and requested early entrance so they could get first row. This is not a legal “reasonable accommodation” under the ADA, and is a common trick that is being spread around social media for early entry to GA shows. Venues like Tbe Fonda, The Greek, and even The Forum have actually disallowed this practice and eliminated it from their ADA accommodations. I shared this with their team, who interrupted me countless times, told me I didn’t look disabled enough to be given accommodations, and told me that I should have tried harder to get accommodations. I strongly urge this venue to revisit their ADA accommodation policies and discontinue early access for people who just want to be front row. If you are disabled like me, don’t try to go to a show last minute and expect to be accommodated in a fair and even way. BONUS: they called me, a person who had just self identified as someone with a disability, “insane”! That is incredibly ableist language. I hope they seriously take this as an opportunity to look internally as an organization at their practices, policies, and sensitivity training.

Cozy but beautiful and trendy venue. You can get close to the artists. Amazing vibe. Pacifica was amazing.
