Amazing performance. Old style theater with a intimate dark vibe. very charming inside and out.
This is a fun and chill place to go out. I've gone twice and the most recent time was a few weeks ago, we went for their Funky... Soul Night. There is an outdoor bar and indoor bar, the dance floor is inside. The outdoor bar is surrounded by the patio,which has booths and tables and cute lights. We paid $5 to get in for the Funky Soul, not sure if there's a cover on regularnights. The dress code is casual. Read more
Attended Saturday night flamenco. Really enjoyed the dancing and the explanation of the dance. Great performance and overall... ambience. Friendly staff at the restaurant. We parked on the street right in front. The seemed to be other street parkingoptions, including several in front. We came at 6pm, and the show started around 7pm. Sitting near the front is better so youcan have a clear view of the dancers. Food was good. $65 pre fixe per person with the show included. Steak, chicken, salmon,seafood paella, and vegetarian paella options. We used a Groupon. Read more
This is a diamond in the rough venue, from outside it just looks regular and to get in you have to go down numerous steps, but... it is worth the trip. Inside the belly of the venue is truly amazing and has so much photo op potential. Its almost like a maze,it has so many aesthetic areas. The stage is pretty neat, with the dj space behind it. The audience room is square, so you canalways see the stage, no matter where you are sitting or standing, that's another great feature it has tables, booths and chairsand standing room, which is great the stage is raised so you can always see the artist. It a gem of a place, for dining and liveperformances. Can't wait to go again. Read more
What a unique hidden gem off of Sunset Blvd. on the elbow of a Hollywood and seemingly Los Feliz. My wife got us reservations... and mentioned Flamenco as she put on dancing heels…so I wasn’t sure what we were in for. She always picks the good spots andthis spot did not disappoint. Historic, cozy, and familiar, we dipped right into Spain as we descended the stairs and came intothe El Cid dining hall. As we ordered salmon and steak, we could hear guitars and heels percussing behind a curtain from a stagein front. Fresh spicy mago margaritas came, the curtain opened, and the clacking of castanets rumbled with rhythmic guitara. Weenjoyed an evening transportation to Spain, with flavor in our mouths and flare on the stage. Definitely an experience away inthe heartbeat of L.A. Read more
I love L shed! It has long been a hub of the creative community here in silverlake. They offer drag shows, comedy shows live... bands and so much more! They have an outside patio that sits right on sunset boulevard in the heart of Los Angeles but I highlyrecommend going down the beautiful stairwell into the garden that makes El Cid famous for its 1970s style brunch. The alfrescodining is superbly as you're surrounded by gorgeous plants and cool statues from the 1950s. The food has something for everyoneand it's a great place to go on a date, single, or with the group of friends you can't go wrong. Read more
Absolutely loved the Flamenco show! First time here and the entire family enjoyed it. We all learned lots about Flamenco dance... and music. The entire staff was nice and friendly. Definitely recommend it! Read more
