Silverlake Lounge
The Silverlake Lounge is one of the oldest drinking establishments on LA’s eastside, serving the community as a nightlife venue since 1938. The bar has a long and celebrated history within the Indie Music Scene and the LGBT community that continues to this day.
Settling into its current iteration around 1975, it was an early stage for drag and gay cabaret acts and a safe space for non-identifying Latinx locals. In the early 2000s, it gained notoriety as one of the central hubs and incubators for the blossoming indie music scene. Bands like Rilo Kiley, Black Rebel Motorcycle Club, and The Silversun Pickups all started on our stage.
As the longest-standing, independent, live music venue in Silverlake, the blending of the two subcultures has cemented its place in local history. The Silverlake Lounge is a place of diversity and a safe space for Creatives and the Queer BIPOC community. It is one of the few properties left that serves the whole of its community.

- We have been inundated with emails for booking and couldn’t be happier. Unfortunately, we are not able to reply to every email at the moment. We are currently focusing on correspondence with confirmed acts. We will reach out if/when we feel there is an appropriate opening in our programming, to start the conversation. In the meantime we encourage you to come and support the local music scene and our little historic bar.
