About Rose Room
The Rose Room is an industrial-chic event loft on the Venice Beach side of Los Angeles. Official descriptions call it a “hidden gem” with over 2,000 square feet of open studio space (www.roseroom.space ). Its design retains original warehouse features – polished concrete floors, exposed 20-foot wood-beam ceilings and large skylights that flood the room with light (www.roseroom.space ) (www.venicebeachclubla.com ). A large front bay window even offers a glimpse of the nearby beach. This creative Westside studio lies just one block inland from the Ocean Front Walk (Venice Boardwalk) and south of Venice Blvd (www.ticketfairy.com ). (It should not be confused with the separate “The Rose” hotel/restaurant at 220 Rose Ave.)
As a blank-canvas space, Rose Room can host everything from art exhibitions and photo shoots to dinner receptions and private parties (www.roseroom.space ). Its owners (the team behind the Venice Beach Club) stress full-service event support: they provide planning, staffing, and even organic catering and AV equipment for events (www.roseroom.space ). Wedding and event listings describe it as an “industrial event space… just steps from Venice Beach” with a versatile layout (www.theknot.com ). In short, the Rose Room’s loft ambiance and beachside location give it a unique character – beloved by local artists and audiences as a new kind of Venice nightlife and cultural hub.
Events and Programming
Rose Room’s calendar is eclectic. It regularly hosts DJ-driven dance parties and live concerts, as well as gallery openings, multimedia performances and private corporate or social events (www.ticketfairy.com ). For example, in 2021 it became known for “SENSE” nights – a fusion of electronic music and performance art (complete with DJs like Henry Pope and living sculptures) (www.ticketfairy.com ). It also spawned a popular late-evening club series called “BLOOM” on Thursdays (guest DJs spinning from 6 PM to midnight) (www.ticketfairy.com ). In spring 2024 the space even staged “LuminoCity,” a headline daytime rave that turned the loft into an “enchanted jungle” disco with house and deep-house DJs (www.ticketfairy.com ).
Beyond nightlife, Rose Room frequently partners with local arts organizations. Venice’s art crawl events, festivals, and community mixers often hold after-parties or receptions here (www.ticketfairy.com ). For instance, the annual Rosé on Rose wine festival wrapped up at Rose Room with DJs and themed giveaways. Concerts have ranged from indie rock album-release shows to thematic dance nights – even though Rose Room is a private rented space, its event lineup draws both emerging local acts and touring DJs. Ticket prices span from free community art nights to roughly \$15–\$25 for mid-size dance or concert nights (www.ticketfairy.com ).
Tickets and Booking
There is no public box office at Rose Room. All tickets are sold through event promoters or online platforms. To attend a show, check the event’s social media or ticketing page for links (www.ticketfairy.com ). Popular nights often sell out well in advance, so purchasing early is advised (www.ticketfairy.com ). For example, a 2021 SENSE event page warned fans to “get your tickets ahead of time” because it would surely sell out. You’ll usually buy tickets via third-party sites (e.g. Eventbrite or Resident Advisor); a few passes may be held for door sales, but don’t count on same-night tickets.
Prices vary by event. In recent listings, typical club nights at Rose Room were in the \$15–\$25 range (www.ticketfairy.com ). Smaller community gatherings or weekday art shows are often free or inexpensive. There usually aren’t elaborate VIP packages – occasionally a promoter might offer a small number of priority-entry tickets. In general, assume you’ll pay in advance and come ready to have fun, without expecting an on-site box office.
Seating and Layout
The Rose Room is one large, open loft – there are no fixed seats or balconies (www.ticketfairy.com ). Its official capacity is around 225 standing (reception-style), about 175 in theater-style rows, or roughly 125 in a full banquet seating setup (www.ticketfairy.com ). The space is roughly rectangular, with a 20-foot ceiling. By convention, one end of the room serves as the performance or stage area. The venue provides some movable furniture (a few roll-around benches, futon couches, coffee tables and an 11-foot built-in bar counter) (www.ticketfairy.com ), but additional chairs or décor are usually rented to suit each event. If needed, small raised platforms or corner sections can be set up for VIPs, but there is no permanent VIP box.
Thanks to its tall ceilings and open sightlines, most guests can see and hear clearly from nearly anywhere. In-house, the sound system is a professional four-cabinet VUE line-array with subwoofers (www.ticketfairy.com ), so audio fills every corner evenly. (Reviewers note that echo can occur in an empty room, but once filled with an audience and furniture the sound is crisp.) In practice, “front of the floor” is great if you want to be in the middle of the action, while standing or sitting along the side walls is nice for leaning or lounging. There really are no truly “bad” spots – even at the back you’ll have a clear view. The only trade-off is proximity to the speakers: it can get loud, so those sensitive to bass might avoid standing right in front of the subwoofers.
Getting There and Parking
Location: The Rose Room’s address is 6 Rose Avenue, Venice CA 90291 (www.ticketfairy.com ). You’ll find it one block east of the Venice Beach boardwalk (Ocean Front Walk) and south of Venice Blvd, on Rose Avenue near 7th Street. By car or rideshare, the easiest drop-off is on Rose Ave itself, right off Abbot Kinney Blvd (www.ticketfairy.com ). When arriving, look for a large brick industrial-looking building adjacent to the Venice Beach Club spaces.
Parking: Street parking in Venice is very limited. The most reliable option is the city’s Rose Street lot at 300 Ocean Front Walk (250 spaces) (en.parkopedia.com ) – about 2–3 blocks from the venue. This large open lot is metered (roughly \$4–\$6 on weekdays, up to \$9 at peak hours; summer rates can be higher (www.ticketfairy.com )). Another choice is the private lot at The Rose Venice (220 Rose Ave) which has about 50 spots (often free for a couple hours) (en.parkopedia.com ). Elsewhere you may find metered street spots on Rose Ave or on Ocean Front Walk northbound, but they fill up quickly. Plan to allow extra time to walk from your parking or use a parking app.
Public transit: There is no nearby subway, but buses do serve the area. Santa Monica’s Big Blue Bus #18 (UCLA–Marina route) stops on Abbot Kinney near Rose Ave, and LA Metro Local bus #3 stops on Venice Blvd at Rose Ave (moovitapp.com ). These stops are a few blocks away (a 5–10 minute walk). For example, you could take the Big Blue Bus 18 from downtown Santa Monica or Metro 3/745 from other parts of L.A. and then walk down Abbot Kinney. If you arrive by taxi or rideshare, just have the driver drop you on Rose Ave by 7th. Late at night, designated ride-hail pickup zones are usually on Abbot Kinney or the boardwalk.
Inside the Venue
On entering from street level, you’ll step into a bright, loft-style open space (www.ticketfairy.com ). Security or event staff will typically check IDs or tickets if it’s a 21+ show (www.ticketfairy.com ). The interior feels industrial-cool: exposed concrete columns and beams, smooth white walls, and track lighting (often augmented by colorful party lights or video projections) (www.ticketfairy.com ). The overall vibe is casual and fun, with an artsy edge – patrons might dress in creative clubwear or theme-based outfits on special nights (www.ticketfairy.com ).
The main floor is kept clear for the audience; one end is reserved for the DJ booth or live performers, the other for bar/kitchen service. Along one side there is an 11-foot built-in counter (often used as the bar) (www.ticketfairy.com ). At events, you’ll generally find a staffed bar there serving beer, wine and cocktails. Some events bring in food trucks or catered appetizers, but there is no permanent restaurant, so plan to buy any food/snacks on site. The venue provides Wi-Fi and charging outlets, and cell phone reception is usually good (www.ticketfairy.com ) – so you can stay connected or stream if needed.
Rose Room has only one indoor restroom (listed as “private restroom” on the floor plan) (www.ticketfairy.com ), located just behind the bar area. It is typically a single unisex/family restroom. If an event is very large, promoters sometimes rent an extra portable toilet outside. There is no coat check or secure storage – guests usually keep jackets and bags at tables or on them. In any case, photography with phones is generally allowed (though flash may be discouraged, and some performers might ban pictures). Smoking and vaping are not allowed indoors (www.ticketfairy.com ); those who smoke must step out to the small outdoor patio behind the club. Overall, expect a relaxed but energetic atmosphere. The high ceilings and open air mean the space never feels cramped, and staff are on hand if you need anything. Just dress comfortably (bring layers or shoes easy to dance in) and enjoy the show.
Nearby Amenities
The Rose Room sits in the heart of Venice Beach, so you have many choices around town. Immediately next door are two popular spots: the Venice Beach Club (a casual bar/restaurant on the boardwalk) and The Rose Venice (an upscale bistro/hotel) (www.ticketfairy.com ). Either is a good spot for a pre-show drink or meal. A few blocks north on Abbot Kinney Boulevard you’ll find dozens more eateries and cafes. Favorites within walking distance include Jeni’s Ice Cream (on Rose Ave), the Wabi-Sabi Ramen noodle bar, Chulita Taqueria, and the American Beauty cocktail lounge (www.ticketfairy.com ). Abbot Kinney also has pizza, taco and brunch spots galore; if you want a sit-down dinner before a show, plenty of options exist (reservations on weekend nights are wise (www.ticketfairy.com )).
For after-show nightlife, bars on 18th Street and the boardwalk are within sight. The Hinano Café (a classic Polynesian-style dive bar) is right on the beach boardwalk just steps from Rose Room (www.ticketfairy.com ). Other wine bars and music venues line Westminster Ave and the Abbot Kinney corridor. Hotels are also nearby: for instance, Hotel Erwin (at Pacific Ave & Market St) is about 4 blocks away (www.ticketfairy.com ), and many boutique inns run along Venice Blvd. If you stay in Santa Monica, it’s only a short drive (downtown SM hotels are 15 minutes north), and late-night Uber/Lyfts can bring you back easily. In short, Rose Room is extremely central: you can hit the beach or a coffee shop before shows, enjoy pre-show dining on Abbot Kinney, and carry on at nearby bars afterward – all within a few minutes’ walk (www.ticketfairy.com ).
What Makes This Venue Special
The Rose Room stands out by combining Venice’s bohemian beach vibe with a raw, creative loft aesthetic (www.ticketfairy.com ). It’s not a polished nightclub or a typical concert hall – the design feels like an art gallery or studio warehouse reborn as a venue. The huge skylights and stark white/concrete interior give it a luminous, “blank canvas” feel (www.ticketfairy.com ). This makes it perfect for avant-garde and immersive events. Indeed, Rose Room has become known for hosting cutting-edge local events like the SENSE music-and-art series and the BLOOM dance nights (www.ticketfairy.com ). In 2023 it even became part of Venice lore by serving as the official after-party for the Rosé on Rose wine festival (www.ticketfairy.com ).
Owners emphasize community over profit, so Rose Room events tend to give back to Venice Beach (www.ticketfairy.com ). Both performers and audiences praise its intimate-but-open energy. Musicians love the top-tier sound system and the ability to play for crowds bathed in natural daylight (www.ticketfairy.com ). Fans enjoy feeling up-close – since the space is flat, everyone is on the same level and can see performers clearly. Despite being relatively new (opened in the late 2010s), Rose Room has quickly become a pillar of the local arts and nightlife scene (www.ticketfairy.com ). In a seaside neighborhood full of iconic spots, it has earned its place as a small but cherished landmark. In short, artists and audiences love it for being bright, raw and community-oriented – a one-of-a-kind Los Angeles event space just steps from the sand.
Visitor Tips and Information
Rose Room is designed to be accessible for most visitors. It’s on ground level with no stairs at the entrance (www.ticketfairy.com ). Wheelchair users can roll right in, though the single restroom is compact. If you do need special accommodations, it’s best to call the event organizer in advance. Remember that most Rose Room events are age 21+ (ID required) (www.ticketfairy.com ), so bring a valid driver’s license or passport. Cameras or smartphones are fine (most people snap pics), but professional video cameras or tripods are usually not allowed without press credentials. Dress is casual to creative – many guests wear jeans or trendy clubwear (www.ticketfairy.com ). There’s no tie or costume required (unless it’s a themed night), but wear comfortable shoes for dancing. As a practical note, LA venues often limit bag size to about 14″×14″, so leave large backpacks in the car.
Arrive early: doors often open 30–60 minutes before showtime (www.ticketfairy.com ). On busy nights you might need time to wait in line. If you’re eating nearby before the event, factor in Venice traffic and crowds. For example, Washington Blvd and Del Rey Blvd can clog up in the evening, and the Boardwalk area fills with foot traffic. The ocean breeze can also make summer nights chillier than you think – bringing a light jacket or sweater is wise. For parking, don’t rely on free street spots on Sunday; instead use the paid lots we mentioned. After shows, night traffic can be heavy; we recommend using rideshare services (Uber/Lyft) from designated pickup areas on Abbot Kinney or the boardwalk. Keep an eye on Rose Room’s social media or your event page for special rules (sometimes themed nights have specific dress guidelines or age requirements). Finally, enjoy the venue responsibly – clean up after yourself a little, tip your bartenders, and help support the local art scene that makes places like Rose Room possible (www.ticketfairy.com ).

Are Rose Room events generally 21 and over?
Yes, most nightlife and music events at Rose Room are age 21+ and require valid ID (www.ticketfairy.com ). The space is typically used as a club or concert venue, so it is not a family venue in the evenings. Some special daytime or art-related events might be all-ages if explicitly advertised, but you must check the specific event details to know for sure.
What is the seating or standing layout inside Rose Room? Is it general admission?
Rose Room has an open floor plan with no fixed seats – it’s all general admission. For shows, attendees stand or use the minimal movable furniture. According to the venue, maximum capacity is about 225 people standing, or ~175 with rows of chairs, or ~125 at round tables (www.ticketfairy.com ). The stage area is usually at one end of the hall.

No formal dress code is enforced. Attire is usually casual or club-style. Many guests wear trendy or creative outfits, especially on themed nights (www.ticketfairy.com ) (www.ticketfairy.com ). Jeans, nice tops or streetwear are common. You don’t need a jacket and tie – however, remember you’ll likely be standing and dancing, so comfortable shoes are recommended (the concrete floor can be hard on high heels). On a chilly evening, a light layer or jacket is wise.
Can I bring outside food or drinks into Rose Room?
Generally, no. The venue provides catering and a staffed bar, and outside alcohol or food is not allowed (www.ticketfairy.com ) (www.ticketfairy.com ). Most attendees purchase drinks at the event’s bar. If you have dietary needs or want specific snacks, coordinate with the promoter – some events arrange food trucks or hors d’oeuvres inside. But as a rule, plan to buy your refreshments onsite.
Can I take photos or videos inside the Rose Room?
Casual phone photography is usually fine and expected (people often Instagram the night). However, professional cameras or video equipment might be restricted. Many music venues limit DSLR cameras or tripods without media credentials. Also respect any performer’s “no flash” rule. When in doubt, ask the event staff or promoter – they’ll let you know if a show has a photos policy (www.ticketfairy.com ).
Is the Rose Room wheelchair accessible?
Yes, Rose Room is on street level with no steps at the entrance (www.ticketfairy.com ). Wheelchair users can enter through the front door and access the open floor area. Bear in mind that the restroom is small (single unisex toilet). If you have mobility concerns, it’s best to call the event organizer ahead of time. But in general the flat layout means it is relatively accessible.
Does Rose Room offer Wi-Fi or have good cell phone reception?
Yes. The venue provides Wi-Fi for guests and has electrical outlets along the walls (www.ticketfairy.com ). In our experience, cell phone reception inside is usually fine as well. This means you can stay connected, post on social media, or stream music from your phone while at Rose Room.
How many restrooms does Rose Room have?
There is only one indoor restroom at Rose Room, typically a single unisex/family-style bathroom behind the bar (www.ticketfairy.com ). At very large events, organizers sometimes rent an extra porta-potty outside. Plan your break accordingly since lines can form in a big crowd.
Is there a coat check or storage for personal items?
No, Rose Room does not have a coat check or secure lockers (www.ticketfairy.com ). You’ll need to keep coats and bags with you (for example, drape a jacket over your chair or bar stool). Since large bags can be inconvenient in the crowd, try to bring only essentials. Packing a small crossbody bag or none at all is the most convenient.
When do doors usually open, and should I arrive early?
Doors typically open about 30–60 minutes before the show start time (www.ticketfairy.com ). It’s smart to arrive early, especially on busy Friday or Saturday nights, to allow time for parking, entry checks and finding a good spot. If you arrive right at the advertised start time, you may have to wait in line or miss the opening act.
Is smoking allowed inside Rose Room?
No. Smoking and vaping are not allowed indoors at Rose Room (www.ticketfairy.com ). If you want to smoke, you must step outside. There’s a small outdoor patio at the back of the building that smokers use. Otherwise, please go out to the Venice Boardwalk area to smoke before or after the event.
Is Rose Room an indoor or outdoor venue?
Rose Room is an entirely indoor venue. It is a fully enclosed loft space. (There is a tiny outdoor patio area at the rear, but events take place inside.) The walls and ceiling protect you from weather, so rain or heat outside won’t affect an indoor show.
