Formerly known as the Henry Fonda Theatre, this historic theater first opened in 1926 and frequently played host to silver screen legends like Marlene Dietrich and Clark Gable.
Today, all-access freedom and performances from top rock acts offers a decidedly more laidback experience.
The standing-room-only main space sets an interactive vibe while the upstairs mezzanine leads to the sleek rooftop speakeasy, where folks can get a drink, hang in the indoor lounge area, take in the views of Hollywood or light up with nary a disapproving stare.
The unusual slanting balcony offers seats and one of the best views of the stage and modern intricacies like a state-of-the-art sound and light system and plasma TVs have moved this legendary venue into the new century.

Parking
The Fonda's 500-car parking lot is located on Hollywood between Gower and El Centro. It's $4 during the day and $8 at night.

The Extras
The venue's interchangeable parts--bars, seating, audio and visual capabilities--allow it to hold everything from wrap parties to proms.

Know Before You Go
The Blue Palms lounge, which offers a tapas-style menu and full bar, is only open to the public during public events.
