Yelp.com Review - by Julie S.

3 of 5 stars. I'll admit the first time I saw a show here I wasn't real impressed. I saw Ima Robot and She Wants Revenge here back in June. We sat in the balcony and it just wasn't intimate enough for me. I…

4 of 5 stars. Highly recommended. The stage has excellent, EXCELLENT visibility from anywhere in the room. Floor seats are, of course, better but you knew that already. The architecture, is wonderfully old-timey…

Yelp.com Review - by Dan H.

4 of 5 stars. I have a real soft spot for the Wiltern. I saw the loudest, most fantastic show there by Pete Townshend in 1993, have seen several amazing shows by King Crimson there, and I was in charge of security…

3 of 5 stars. WIltern gets 4 stars (i'll get to the 3-star explaination shortly) for the simple fact that i saw Imogen Heap there and she's swoon-worthy. we walked in right as the show was starting and our floor…

5 of 5 stars. The Wiltern did PJ Harvey justice. Enough said in my book.

Yelp.com Review - by Fayza E.

5 of 5 stars. Intimate, spacious, accessible, and aesthetically pleasing. Unbelievable that I'm referring to a venue in the heart of the Mid-Wilshire district, but indeed, I am. The Wiltern, a…

4 of 5 stars. As far as large venues in Los Angeles go, the wiltern is probably the best of them. The place is very nice looking, with really well done architecture inside, and from nearly every angle you can see…

Yelp.com Review - by Pavel D.

5 of 5 stars. I have seen only a coupe of shows here in the last few years, the most recent being the solo tour of The Kinks' front man and musical genius Ray Davies. The sound for the Davies show was great --- I…

Great venue for seeing and hearing.

This is one of those old school venues that was built for sound and has great seeting. The location isn't the best but it could be worse. Go see one of your favorite acts there. You will have a blast.

Yelp.com Review - by Mitzi Y.

3 of 5 stars. Well the Wiltern is okay I guess - not my venue of choice though. For me it's too big. I sat in the upper balcony and I felt like I was watching the band at Dodger Stadium. Okay that's exaggerated but…

Yelp.com Review - by Aunny D.

4 of 5 stars. As a fan of the small concert venue, I have to go against the grain and say that the Wiltern is NOT my favorite place to see a show in LA. HOWEVER It is a GORGEOUS Art Deco building on Wilshire in…
