About 5070 W Pico Blvd
Located in Central Los Angeles’ Mid-Wilshire/Koreatown corridor, 5070 W Pico Blvd is a versatile, multi-use event space often referred to by its brand name LEV'EL. It's a modern, open-plan venue designed for large gatherings – the floor plan spans roughly 16,500 square feet, enough to accommodate up to about 1,000 people . The interior features floor-to-ceiling windows and sliding walls, creating a bright industrial-meets-contemporary loft vibe with seamless indoor/outdoor flow . The style is intentionally neutral and flexible to suit concerts, galas, corporate events or private parties, with polished concrete floors, high ceilings, and exposed architectural finishes. This flexibility means the venue isn’t just a standard concert hall or club; it can be reconfigured for any occasion, from art openings and weddings to nightclub dance parties and product launches. In fact, venue listings describe it as a “bar, club, concert venue, event space, [and] outdoor venue” , highlighting how it can shift character to match the event. It represents the kind of new creative space transforming this part of the city – reusing what may have once been a warehouse or retail block (5070 was previously occupied by service businesses) into a high-tech event hub.
What makes 5070 W Pico Boulevard especially notable is that it didn’t start its life as a legendary theater or historical landmark. Instead, it is a newly launched contemporary venue catering to Los Angeles’ vibrant cultural scene. While there isn’t any famous “historic moments” directly tied to the address, the space has quickly become known for its signature design elements. The large glass expanses flood the interior with natural light during the day, and at night they open onto patios or terraces where guests can mingle outdoors. Even in blackout club lighting mode, subtle LED architectural lighting and a raw concrete/steel aesthetic lend the space an upscale yet edgy character. In short, it matters because there aren’t many event sites like it west of downtown: it provides a big-city, multimedia entertainment facility on Pico Boulevard, complementing nearby institutions (like Theatre Theater at 5041 Pico) but with a far more flexible, modern layout and a capacity that suits both turning up to a dance DJ set and hosting seated banquet dinners with stage performances. Its location on Pico Boulevard – a long cross-city thoroughfare – also means it draws crowds from various neighborhoods (Wilshire, Mid-City, West Hollywood, etc.), making it a “central” spot for everything from indie dance nights to corporate showcases.
Events and Programming
At 5070 W Pico, a wide variety of events can be hosted thanks to the space’s versatility. Programmed events often include live concerts and DJ parties (electronic dance and hip-hop in particular), as well as private functions such as art shows, fashion events, corporate mixers, product launches and even small conventions. Promoters tend to book this venue for anything that requires room for a large crowd but also benefits from clubs-style amenities. Frequent performers might be local and international DJs spinning dance music, indie rock bands setting up on a portable riser, or spoken-word/comedy acts using the installed lighting and sound system. Given its design, the venue also accommodates seated audiences for film screenings or multimedia shows. Because the space can transform layout, monthly recurring events or themed nights (such as Latin dance nights, pop-up markets, or fashion week afterparties) are common, and promoters often fill its 1,000-person capacity for big-name headliners or festival-style raves.
Ticket pricing varies widely by event type. Low-key community concerts and comedy nights may have tickets in the $15–$30 range, while headline DJ sets or festival events can range $50 or more, depending on demand. Many shows here are general admission, though some high-end events might offer tiered pricing (general, VIP lounge areas, or reserved tables). There isn’t a single “ticket office” for the venue – tickets are usually purchased through event promoters, online ticketing platforms, or at-the-door (if not sold out). Concert and club promoters often announce tickets via social media and sell in advance, so popular shows can sell out weeks ahead. Early-bird presales occasionally run at a slight discount. To secure seats for those popular nights, fans typically sign up for newsletters or follow local concert listings – when sale dates are announced, buying as soon as possible is key. In general, expect standard Los Angeles downtown-club pricing: under $30 for local-night events, and $30–$70 for bigger-name acts. If unsure, look for an official “LEV’EL” or venue page, and confirm a sale date sharply, as door sales go fast.
Tickets and Booking
Events at 5070 W Pico are ticketed like most Los Angeles concert or club evenings. Buyers can typically purchase tickets online through the event’s listing on authorized ticket sites or via the hosting organization’s website. There is no dedicated box office storefront; instead, tickets are often emailed (mobile e-tickets) or available for will-call pickup at the door. For recurring series (like weekly dance nights) you may find tickets sold on subscription or monthly bases via promoter newsletters. Attendees are advised to monitor the venue’s official announcements (social media or mailing lists) so they catch sale opening times. Presales are common: sometimes the venue manager or partner companies run an exclusive pre-sale to mailing list members or fan club subscribers. At sold-out shows, a small quantity of tickets might be released at the door if any remain – but arriving early doesn’t guarantee entry, as capacity is strictly capped (roughly 1,000) .
In terms of ticket prices and tiers, events typically range from low tens to high tens of dollars. Student or early-bird discounts may be offered on less-crowded nights. VIP upgrades might include access to the lounge sections or meet-and-greet areas if the promoter arranges them. Always check event details: some fundraisers or festivals may offer package deals or lunch/dinner-inclusive tickets. Credit cards, drinks cards, or RFID wristbands are often used for any in-venue transactions. Importantly, 5070 W Pico is mainly a rent-able event space, so the actual ticketing and sale processes are handled by outside promoters – plan to buy tickets wherever the event’s marketing directs, not through the venue itself.
Seating and Layout
The layout at this venue is almost entirely open-floor, so there are no permanent fixed seating sections. Seating and standing arrangements are very flexible: for concerts and club nights it’s general admission, with patrons free to move about the large dance/standing area. For corporate or formal events, chairs, tables, and even temporary partitions can be brought in. The rental inventory includes an on-site stock of tables and chairs, allowing seated dinners or conferences up to around 500 seated comfortably . High-top bar tables and lounge sofas can create VIP zones. Physically, the main hall is rectangular with a raised DJ booth or stage at one end. Floor-to-ceiling windows run along at least one side, and sliding wall panels open onto covered outdoor terraces. This means there are unique vantage points: guests on the patio can look in through large glass doors, and vice versa. The ceilings are high (likely 20+ feet), so acoustically the sound carries well across the open space but can echo if not treated.
Best spots in the venue depend on the experience desired. For concerts or club shows, front-and-center near the stage or DJ area gives the clearest view of performers, but many people also enjoy standing near the back for easier ingress/egress and a big-picture perspective. Patio seating provides a quieter setting (with street views) but broadcasted sound and video may be outdoors-facing too. Because it’s mostly one big room, acoustics are generally even – though sound can be louder near speakers so bring ear protection if sensitive. If planning to attend as VIP or with dining, the side lounge areas (near the bar counter) allow sitting on sofas or stools with a clear line of sight.
Getting There and Parking
The street address is 5070 W Pico Blvd, Los Angeles, CA 90019 – it's on Pico Boulevard just east of Normandie Avenue. This area is a bridge between the Pico-Union and Koreatown neighborhoods, so it is straightforward to reach by car or transit. By car, the venue is a few blocks north of the I-10 Santa Monica Freeway (West) and I-10 merges with the US-101 Hollywood Freeway nearby. On Pico Boulevard itself, street parking is available on the adjacent side streets (watch meters and signage – meters are about $1–2 per hour typically). There are gated parking lots and garages on Pico (especially around Normandie) which offer overnight and event-rate parking. Be aware that free street parking is limited: the venue itself has only around five dedicated parking spaces on-site . For bigger events, carpooling or rideshare is wise because those slots fill quickly.
Public transit access: Metro buses #30 and #105 run along Pico and nearby cross streets, making the venue reachable from areas along Pico, Western or La Cienega. Bus #7 (which travels along Normandie) has stops a short walk away. The Metro Expo (E) Line does not stop directly at Pico, but the La Cienega/Jefferson station on the Expo Line is roughly a 1-mile walk south (or a quick bus transfer south to Jefferson Blvd then walk east). The Metro Purple (D) Line subway also doesn’t reach Pico Blvd directly; the closest is at Wilshire/Western about 4 stops east via local bus. For planning, a rideshare or taxi drop-off can be done right at Pico Blvd and Normandie (the venue entrance is at street level) – just pull up curbside on the designated side.
Because the venue is declared ADA-friendly, visitors using wheelchairs can enter from street level (no stairs needed) . There is room to maneuver inside and outdoors as well. The neighborhood is also easily bike-friendly, though dedicated bike racks may not be prominent (you can lock to street poles). For late-night events, the Pico/Normandie bus stop is well-lit, and rideshare pickup zones are typically at the front door or a nearby block as directed by venue staff.
Inside the Venue
Expect a casual, slightly industrial-chic lounge atmosphere inside. Upon entry, guests typically find a coat-check area and security station. Dress is generally smart-casual to trendy – club nights see sneakers and streetwear, while corporate events might see business casual. Strictly formal attire is usually not required, but upscale or themed parties might have guidelines. There is usually no strict “no jeans” or suit rule, unless an event specifically mentions a dress code. Photographers and staff will check bags and IDs (especially at 21+ events) upon entry. Since it’s primarily an events space, there’s no velvet rope separating a fancy foyer — check-in tends to be open-air.
Inside, the lighting varies with the event: clubs and concerts use dynamic stage lighting and LED effects, while conferences and expos might employ bright white house lights or projector screens. A professional-grade sound system and lighting rig are typically available to the promoter. The polished concrete floor is flat (no steps), so comfortable shoes are recommended for dancing or standing all night. Noise levels can get high during music events, so earplugs are advisable. Wi-Fi is provided for production crews and guests, and a small lounge area often has charging stations or hidden outlets.
For food and drinks, a full bar is built into the venue (a bar counter is one of the features ). A professional kitchen lies behind the scenes – this supports in-house catering services, meaning event organizers can offer hot plated meals or buffet-style one. In fact, listings note that in-house catering is available , and external caterers can also be accommodated due to the kitchen setup. Therefore, on many nights there will be bartenders and servers working. {Demarks}Upgrade packages sometimes include complimentary champagne or hors d’oeuvres. The restrooms are modern and ample (gendered rooms) – there are multiple stalls and sinks, as well as a few scattered on each level of the mezzanine or lounge. If you have accessibility needs, the restrooms have at least one handicap stall each, but always double-check event-specific maps if you need a family restroom or if you prefer extra wide facilities (though those are not explicitly marked).
Other services: There’s generally a coat check (paid or complimentary depending on the event) – check at the entrance. Merchandise tables for artists or organizers are often set up in the foyer or by the stage during concerts. Staff may also set up charging stations or phone lockers at tech events. Crucially, mobile phones are usually permitted to record briefly, but professional-looking cameras or tripods are not allowed without prior permission. Don’t expect to bring in outside food or drink; everything is served from inside. Smoking is only permitted in designated outdoor areas per California law (there may be a patio or street-level section for smokers).
Nearby Amenities
Right around 5070 W Pico, you’ll find a basic city-block strip with a few dining and shopping options. Directly adjacent is a market or convenience store and fast casual takeout spots (like a taco truck earlier at nights). For more substantial meals, guests often travel a few minutes away. Among the closest sit-down restaurants is Roscoe’s House of Chicken & Waffles at 5006 Pico (a block west) – a Southern comfort food landmark that stays open late. A bit east on Pico, Bloom Café (5544 Pico, near Normandie) offers a trendy brunch-style menu with fresh ingredients and free Wi-Fi , popular for weekend breakfast. For coffee and pastries, there’s a local coffee shop and a few Asian bakeries on Normandie and Olympic.
Within walking distance are several Korean eateries reflecting the diverse culture of the area: Korean BBQ joints, ramen shops, and kimchi houses line the major street corners. Koreatown’s hotspots (like Koreatown Plaza or the restaurants along Western Ave) are less than a mile east. Just north of Pico on Western/Olympic or La Brea, you’ll find bars and lounges catering to club crowds. If you want a drink before a show, there are a few dive bars and lounges on nearby Pico and La Cienega – for example, the Green Elephant bar-grill on Pico/Alvarado, or craft beer spots around Fairfax. After the event, 24-hour diners and late-night eats (taco stands, pizza deliveries) are available in the immediate neighborhood, as Pico Blvd has a handful of late-night spots especially at the corner of Normandie and Olympic.
For visitors staying overnight, lodging is not immediately on Pico, but the broader area has options. Koreatown to the east has several budget and boutique hotels (such as The Line LA near Sunset/Western, or the boutique Wilshire Galleria Hotel ). The nearby Wilshire Corridor and Beverly Grove neighborhoods (just north of Pico) host chain hotels and upscale options like hotel apartments. Westlake/MacArthur Park has some take-your-chance economy motels. It’s wise to arrange travel after an evening show (Uber/Lyft runs late) because the most reliable late-night transport is by car. The venue itself advises having a rideshare or driver if leaving late; the few buses on Pico stop service earlier in the evening, so plan accordingly.
What Makes This Venue Special
5070 W Pico stands out for being a dual-natured facility: at once a sleek modern nightclub and a fully equipped event center. Its contemporary architecture and neutral palette mean each event can truly transform the space. Unlike fixed-seat theaters or traditional halls in LA, this venue can go from an orchestral stage setup to a standing-room dance club in a day. The large windows and outdoor terraces give it a lighter atmosphere – on sunny days and mild evenings the venue can feel like a private courtyarded courtyard, despite being off one of LA’s busiest boulevards. Conversely, once dark it can emulate an intimate urban club under the stars. This adaptability is rare and appreciated by event designers and planners in the city.
The venue also brings new energy to Pico Boulevard itself. While Pico has many restaurants and retail, it has relatively few large-scale live entertainment spots west of downtown. In that respect, 5070 W Pico has become a cultural anchor, drawing people to an up-and-coming part of the city. Because of its size and audiovisual amenities, it has hosted larger production events that other local halls can’t accommodate. In short, locals and performers love it because it feels both spacious and intimate – artists aren’t playing at impersonal convention halls, and attendees aren’t packed like sardines. Its high ceilings, polished concrete floor, and stylish lighting systems make every show look and feel immersive. The venue’s rapid reputation growth is partly trend: it’s one of the first large-scale, fully indoor-outdoor event venues in the Pico-Robertson area, giving LA artists and audiences a fresh new “local” hangout alternative to downtown clubs. By combining a nightclub vibe with full event-production services, it creates a special synergy that both performers and audiences appreciate.
Visitor Tips and Information
Entry and ID: Most events at 5070 W Pico are 21 and over (especially concerts and dance parties), so bring valid photo ID (driver’s license or passport). Even if a show is advertised all-ages, minors under 18 should check the event policies first. ID will be checked at the door. The dress code tends to be relaxed – casual or trendy attire is fine. No sports jerseys required, but properly covered shoes and shirts usually are required. Do not bring prohibited items like weapons or illegal substances. Large bags may be checked by security for safety, so keep bags small. It’s wise to leave bulky or valuable items at home.
Timelines: Doors often open 30–60 minutes before the advertised show time. If you arrive very late (e.g. after the headliner has started), entry might be denied or you could miss the first act – so plan to arrive early. For sold-out shows, asking for guest-list or late admittance is unlikely to get you in once capacity is reached. If you have a general admission ticket, arriving in the first half of opening gives best viewing choice. Conversely, arriving very early (hours before doors) can mean a line, especially with popular acts on weekends. If you’re not in the VIP section or guest list, it’s safe to arrive 10–15 minutes early; no need to wait hours unless you want to be first in line.
Accessibility: As noted, the space is wheelchair-friendly. The main entrance is flat, and there are elevators or no-stair routes to any mezzanines or restrooms. The restrooms have wheelchair stalls. If you require special seating or assistance, alert the event organizer beforehand; staff will accommodate. Medically necessary backpacks or gear are allowed, but subject to inspection. Emotional support animals are generally not allowed (only service dogs by ADA law).
What to Bring/Not Bring: Bring a smartphone (for your ticket barcode, e-wallet payments, and rideshare apps). Earplugs can be a big help at loud music shows. If the event is outdoors, consider a light jacket after dark (the patio can cool off). Closed-toed shoes are recommended on busy event nights. Do NOT bring your own alcohol or food; it’s illegal to consume outside items. Bottled water or empty reusable bottles are usually permitted (refill stations are available). Cameras are usually okay if it’s just phone snapshots, but professional cameras with detachable lenses/tripods require prior permission from the promoter. Bag checks happen, so avoid bringing contraband or unexpected objects. Finally, bring cash/ID/transport card for quick exit. There is typically no standalone coat check counter (though staff may check coats at the door if needed), so avoid heavy coats or large luggage.
Common Mistakes to Avoid: Don’t park illegally; ticketed towing is unwelcome. Double-check the event day as sometimes dates change. When shared rides drop you off, specify the venue entrance on Pico Blvd – some apps might confuse nearby addresses. If there’s an age restriction, underage guests should not even try to enter (as they will be turned away).
Eating and Drinking: Inside, there’s normally a bar and servers. You don’t need cash for drinks – most bars accept cards or the wristband tab system. If the event features food, it will be from the catering team (buffet line or passed appetizers) – tastes range from upscale hors d’oeuvres to casual street-food snacks depending on the night. Plan your dinner accordingly: if arriving hungry, grab food before the show since getting food delivered during an event can be tricky, and lines at the food counter (if any) can be long during peak times.

When do tickets for shows usually go on sale?
Ticket sale dates vary by event. Organizers often announce them weeks in advance. A common pattern is a presale for newsletter or fan club subscribers, then a general sale shortly thereafter.

The restrooms include handicap stalls, and elevator access is provided if there’s more than one floor.

What parking is available at 5070 W Pico Blvd?
On-site parking is very limited – only about five designated spots are available . Most guests park along side streets or in nearby lots. Pico Boulevard has metered parking and some free street spots (check signage) (note: meters may still apply at event times). There are a couple of paid parking lots on Pico near Normandie or Rimpau that charge per hour. For busy events, plan to ride-hail or carpool because the neighborhood can fill up quickly.
Which public transportation lines serve the venue?
The nearest Metro bus routes are Line 30 (which runs east-west along Pico) and Line 105 (north-south on La Cienega, a few blocks away). If you’re coming from the east or west on the Expo rail, you’d transfer to a Pico-bound bus. Because it’s a bit removed from rail, many people also use rideshare from downtown or Hollywood. Late-night buses along Pico run infrequently, so check schedules.
Are there general admission and VIP areas, or reserved seating?
Most events at 5070 Pico are general admission (no assigned seats) due to its open layout. For concerts, you typically stand or move freely on the main floor. Occasionally for corporate or VIP parties they set up tables and chairs or rope off lounge areas. VIP tickets (if any) might include access to lounge furniture or balcony. If a show offers reserved seating, that will be specified in the ticket info, but that’s uncommon. Essentially, plan to stand or bring your own foldable camp chair only if the event specifically allows it.
Is photography allowed inside the venue?
Personal cameras and phone cameras are generally allowed for casual snapshots (especially at art and community events). Professional photography, video cameras or recording equipment usually require permission from the event organizer. You can assume smartphone photos and videos are fine during concerts (band rule permitting). Always be respectful of performers’ and guests’ rights. Flash photography during shows may be discouraged so as not to disturb the performance.
What is the bag policy and are large bags allowed?
All bags can be subject to security check for safety, so expect guards to look inside at the entrance. Small purses or backpacks are fine. Large bags or luggage are discouraged – if you have a large bag, be prepared it may not be allowed. There is usually a free coat/bag check service on busy nights. Do not bring drugs, weapons, or alcohol. If in doubt, travel light or check your items at coat check.
Does the venue have a coat check?
Yes, a coat check is typically provided at the entrance. During large events it may be staffed with a paid attendant or operated as a self-check with tickets. On quiet nights, staff may still offer to hold coats by the entry area. Keep in mind coat check capacity is limited, so solos usually pay a small fee. (Tip: remove large items before entry to speed up your way in.)
Are food and drinks sold inside?
Yes. The venue has a full bar and service counters. A professional catering kitchen is also inside, so event organizers often serve food (buffet or passed hors d'oeuvres). Alcoholic beverages are available- check ID, and drinks are typically cash or card (no BYOB). If it’s a concert night, expect a bar menu and possibly snacks. If it’s a private booked event, food might be included or available for purchase as announced by the event staff.
Are children allowed at events?
It depends on the event. Many concerts, especially those featuring heavy music or late-night schedules, are 21+. Family or all-ages shows (like certain comedy or daytime markets) are permitted, but the event listing will say so. If an event is "21 and over," children under 21 cannot enter. Always check the specific event age rule. When in doubt, contact the promoter. The venue itself is child-friendly only for explicitly marketed family-friendly events.
What should I wear to an event at this venue?
There’s no strict formal dress code – casual or upscale streetwear is common. However, many people wear club-appropriate or party attire: clean neat clothes and shoes. Closed-toe shoes are recommended (no beachwear). For specialized parties, themes might apply (e.g. capsule wardrobes for costume nights). But generally, as long as it’s not a swimsuit or pajamas, you’ll fit in. If it’s a seated dinner or gala, semi-formal attire might be expected, but that will be noted in the event details. Layers can be useful because the interior is air-conditioned but patio areas can feel cooler.
What transportation options are available after late-night events?
Late at night, rideshare (Uber/Lyft) or taxis are easiest. There is usually space to be dropped off and picked up at the front. If visiting via Metro bus, check schedules: buses on Pico may stop around midnight, and the last Reduced Fare/Metro Rapid lines run until about 1am. The Norwalk/E Line (Expo) runs until midnight. Planning ahead with a designated driver or hotel shuttle is wise. Nearby major arteries like S. Normandie and La Cienega are also where night buses continue, but rideshare covers any gap.
Are cameras/recording devices allowed?
Personal smartphones for photos or videos are generally permitted. Larger cameras with lenses, DSLRs or video cameras usually require special permission from the promoter. No professional lights or tripods are allowed without press accreditation. Also, be respectful: some performers ban flash photography or video recording, so please respect any rules posted at the show. If in doubt, ask an usher before taking pictures.
Is there an age restriction or dress code?
Age restrictions are event-specific. Many evening events are 21+, so minors should check before attending. Family daytime events (if offered) will explicitly say all-ages. Dress code is usually casual to smart-casual: comfortable clothes and shoes are fine. No swimwear or overly revealing outfits are allowed. Some upscale events may request business attire or prevent streetwear, but they will note that on the invitation. The venue itself has no uniform dress requirement beyond those set by individual events.
Does the venue have locker rooms or coat checks?
There is usually a coat check area near the entrance. During large shows, attendants may take your coat for a small fee (as is common in nightclubs or theaters). It’s not a gym, though – there are no locker rooms or dressing suites for guests. Performers and staff might use backstage dressing rooms if arranged. So, for guests, expect only a standard coat/bag check.
Are food options available nearby for pre-show dining?
Yes. Walk a few minutes for a nice meal. For example, Bloom Café (5544 W Pico) offers hip breakfast and brunch fare , and on weekends they serve hearty lunch dishes until late afternoon. Roscoe’s House of Chicken & Waffles (5006 Pico) is a local favorite open late for soul food. A block east, Normandie BBQ serves Mexican specialties. The Koreatown area (about 3 blocks north) has countless Korean BBQ and noodle spots if you want something heartier. There are also casual spots and coffee shops on Pico Boulevard. If driving, you could also reach The Grove or Hollywood Blvd in 10–15 minutes.
