The Silverlake Lounge

"Went here to see someone do an open mic that's hosted by Lazy River. They told us it was first come, first serve for performing, only for them to randomize the list of 30+ people. If you're gonna tell people directly in a DM that if they stand in line early they'll get to perform sooner than stick to your word! We got there 30 min early to stand in line at 5:30pm and she never got to play until 11pm. Completely disrespectful to the time of those who actually made the effort to show up early. I spoke to the organizer from Lazy River before leaving to voice my concern and she was rude with a self-entitled attitude about my comments after she claimed they always randomize it and I tried to express how unfair that is. Overall disappointing experience and not worth it for a poorly run open mic place. If you wanna sing, there's better options. The only reason anyone stuck around until the end was for a raffle to get ahead of the line next time they came in, since that's apparently the only way to know when you'll perform."

"Just spent a great nite at Silver Lake Lounge. Ryan Hahn & the Believers were featured. Great sound. The venue is unpretentious which is a rarity in L.A. . The owners go out of their way to make sure every customer is taken care of."

"Cool place, sound is ok. Prices are good and cool patio hang. Nothing too crazy but a decent hang with fun bands:"

"I wasn’t expecting much based on some of the negative reviews but honestly I was surprised. There’s ample seating, the musical performances sounded good, and the drinks were strong. It doesn’t smell great but it’s a dive. Being mostly acquainted with Detroit bars this place was right up my alley."

"AMAZING BAR!!! A place where you can feel free to dance, drink and have a good night with your friends. This place is warm and inviting and I encourage you to make friends with the staff. They are fabulous!"
