DTLA Theatre District: 4 Historic Stages
Four historic theaters shape Downtown Los Angeles nights: The Mayan pairs three-level Mayan revival design with occasional lucha libre, The Belasco covers varied concert genres, Globe Theatre Los Angeles stages multi-level nightlife, and The Regent Theater hosts intimate live shows.
The Mayan brings concerts and late-night weekend dance parties into a historic South Hill Street theater. Lavish Mayan revival decoration defines the three-level interior. The calendar also includes occasional lucha libre matches.

Indie rock, hip-hop, Latin, electronic music and metal share the concert calendar at The Belasco. The 1926 South Hill Street theater surrounds performances with ornate art deco architecture. Crowds pack the standing-room floor tightly. At the back, the balcony overhang can partially block the view of the stage.

Globe Theatre Los Angeles occupies a 1913 Beaux Arts theater on South Broadway, with live music and nightlife across three levels. Its 20,000-square-foot interior has four bars, including an Art Deco Absinthe Lounge, and Void sound infrastructure that lets two DJs play on separate floors without clashing. Red walls frame the main room, with an outdoor area for smokers.

The Regent Theater occupies a 1914 former movie house on South Main Street, with live shows in its main hall and front bar. Bills range from heavy metal double-bills to smaller sets, and the intimate layout can leave room to meet bands during or after shows. Prufrock Pizzeria provides pizza, while The Love Song serves drinks. Its preserved sloped floor adds effort to standing concerts.
