Troubadour

Since 1957, this West Hollywood institution has operated as an intimate club setting that bridges its storied past with a contemporary pulse. The layout centers on a main floor that frequently becomes quite crowded, complemented by a long bar and a second-level balcony. Expect to spend your time almost entirely on your feet, as seating options are limited to a few spots at the bar and the upstairs level. While the room provides a storied backdrop, the experience is anchored by a reputation for world-class sound where instruments and vocals remain clear and distinct throughout a set. Given the packed floor, sightlines can be a challenge for shorter guests.
