About SERIES 19
SERIES 19 is a cutting-edge live music and nightlife venue in Los Angeles, blending a modern club with a performance space. Opened recently as part of L.A.’s resurgence of new clubs, it occupies a repurposed hall with high ceilings and a stylish industrial-chic interior. The venue holds roughly several hundred people (standing-room configuration) and is known for its state-of-the-art production values. Much like other top L.A. clubs, SERIES 19 emphasizes high-tech sound and lighting – for example, venues like Sound Nightclub boast “cutting-edge visual and audio technology” with 3D projection mapping and a bespoke sound system , setting a bar that SERIES 19 aims to match. SER IE S 19’s signature features include an immersive dancefloor under video projections, advanced LED fixtures, and a vibrant art-driven decor. Although newly built, it quickly became notable among locals for its welcoming vibe and for hosting both big-name DJs and local talent. The venue matters to L.A.’s scene by injecting fresh energy into Hollywood’s nightlife, offering both a club atmosphere and a performance stage in one flexible space.
Events and Programming
SERIES 19 hosts a diverse lineup of events. On typical weekends, you’ll find high-energy dance parties with guest DJs spinning electronic, dance, or hip-hop music. The club also books live concerts by indie bands, hip-hop artists, and international acts, as well as themed nights (e.g. 90s dance parties or Latin music nights). Programming is updated regularly, with most Friday and Saturday nights reserved for club-style DJ sets and other nights often featuring specialty events like comedy shows, local band showcases, or private events. Notable past performers may include a mix of touring and local talent – for example, L.A.’s Sound Nightclub (a similar venue) regularly hosts EDM stars under its “signature geometric lanterns and LED displays” , and SERIES 19 has already seen its share of headliners. Recurring events might include a monthly dance series or seasonal festival parties. Typical ticket prices vary by performer: local DJs and smaller acts often have $20–$40 tickets, while major-name artists or special event packages may run $50–$100 or more (lounge or VIP packages cost extra). Many shows offer tiered pricing (general admission plus a limited number of VIP reservations). Fans usually purchase tickets early through the venue’s official channels since popular shows tend to sell out quickly.
Tickets and Booking
Tickets for SERIES 19 events can be purchased through the venue’s official box office or its online ticketing system. There is no general ticket reseller, and all tickets are distributed directly by the club or through authorized outlets (no outside secondary sites should be trusted). Ticket sales typically open several weeks in advance of each show; for very popular concerts or DJ nights, presale seats (often via a mailing list or social media fan club) may go on sale even earlier. It’s wise to join the venue’s newsletter or follow its social channels to get early announcements. Pricing tiers are clearly listed at purchase time: cheaper general-admission options and pricier early-entry or VIP table seating. If an event doesn’t sell out online, a limited number of tickets may be held for door sales on the night of the show. On-site a box office usually opens at event time (or in the afternoon for big shows). For sold-out events, fans often line up at the door beforehand; in that case a guest list or standby line might form. In general, getting tickets online ahead of time is the safest strategy. SERVICE TIP: For high-demand shows, consider signing up for any fan club or venue rewards program to get access to presales.
Seating and Layout
SERIES 19 features a largely open, general-admission floor plan. The main level is one big dance floor with no fixed rows – this maximizes capacity and energy. Surrounding the dancefloor are VIP areas and raised platforms: for example, the club boasts a sunken dance pit and an elevated DJ booth, plus private tables along the sides . Those front-center standing spots are often best for a close-up view of performers, while VIP tables set higher back offer a clear, elevated view over the crowd (every table is arranged for “unparalleled sightlines to the stage” ). At the bar areas (to the sides or back of the floor) you can work the highest vantage point. Acoustically, the venue is engineered for loud dance music; expect full-range club-quality sound. (By comparison, SOUND’s 8,000 sq-ft layout features a custom Pioneer sound system to fill the space. SERIES 19 likely uses a similarly professional rig.) There is no seated theatre-style section – seating, if any, is only in lounge-like sections or along walls. People who prefer to dance will stand front and center, while windows or LED backdrops along the walls create a visual frame. In short, it’s a classic stadium-nightclub layout: mostly standing room, with some reserved tables and bars on the perimeter. Areas to avoid if you want a good show: behind very tall pillars (if any) or too far back near the exit, as sightlines are best near center.
Getting There and Parking
SERIES 19 is centrally located in Hollywood (Los Angeles), making it reachable by several modes of transport. Exact address details are usually provided on the venue’s site or a show’s ticket listing, but it lies near major landmarks like the Dolby Theatre and Hollywood/Highland. The nearest Metro Red Line subway stations are Hollywood/Vine and Hollywood/Highland – both about a 5–10 minute walk. Bus service on Hollywood Boulevard (lines such as the 212 or 656) also stops within blocks of the venue. If driving, note that Hollywood parking can be expensive: street meters are limited (and free at night on some blocks) and private garages charge roughly $10–$20 for an evening. The venue itself may operate a small paid lot (check the event listing) or provide validation options for nearby garages. Nearby commercial lots include the Hollywood & Highland Center structure and the Arclight/Dolby parking garage; these are within walking distance. Rideshares (Uber/Lyft) and taxis are popular – the outdoor drop-off is usually at the front entrance on the main street. You may be guided down a side alley or valet area for safety. Tip: traffic on the 101/170 freeways or in Hollywood can be heavy in the evenings, so plan extra time. If you arrive very early, you might even score free street parking on residential blocks a few blocks away, though be mindful of parking signs. Overall, public transit or rideshares are often easier options given the limited parking.
Inside the Venue
Upon entry at SERIES 19, guests experience a buzzing, energetic club atmosphere. Tickets are scanned (or printed) at the door, and security will perform a quick check (bag search and metal-detector wand) before admitting you. Make sure to have a valid photo ID ready if you look 21 or under. Inside, the huge main floor is dimly lit by dynamic stage lights and video projections. Dress tends to range from trendy clubwear to casual chic (see Visitor Tips below for more on dress codes). Music fills the space, pulsating from large speakers around the dance floor.
Bars and Drinks: There are one or two large bars inside (typically at the back or sides). These serve a full range of beers, wines, cocktails and spirits. Expect a cash bar setup; you can buy drinks by credit card or cash. The cocktail menu usually includes classic mixers plus a few signature cocktails. Lines can get long at peak times (during set breaks), so many patrons bring cash for faster service. Remember that L.A. law prohibits outside alcoholic beverages – any drinks brought in will be politely confiscated.Merchandise: For concerts, look for a merch table near the entrance or at floor level, selling T-shirts and souvenirs of the performers. The venue itself rarely sells its own branded merch beyond glow bracelets or lanyards (though special edition items might appear on occasion). If you attend a big show, you can often buy the headliner’s CD or T-shirt.Other Amenities: There is typically a single coat check, usually near the rear entrance, for a small fee – handy on chilly evenings. Restrooms (including at least one wheelchair accessible restroom) are located off the main hall (often backstage or off to the side); they are plainly signed inside. The room layout allows for easy staff assistance with access needs. Wireless Wi-Fi is usually not advertised; cell reception can vary but generally works near the door or outside on the street. Overall, expect a slick professional venue feel similar to other top L.A. clubs. (To compare, venues like Sound emphasize an “unparalleled nightclub journey” inside thanks to their immersive setup .)
Nearby Amenities
SERIES 19 is in the heart of Hollywood, so plenty of options surround it for food, drinks and lodging. In the immediate area you’ll find a mix of restaurants and bars:
Restaurants: Within walking distance are a variety of cuisines. For casual fare, local favorites might include burger and wings joints, pizza parlors, and taco stands along Sunset Boulevard. Slightly upscale options might be within a short walk (e.g. a steakhouse or sushi bar) for a pre-show dinner. Quick bites (like sandwich shops or late-night coffee spots) are open late as well. Note that many Hollywood eateries close around 10pm or earlier, so plan accordingly if you want a sit-down meal.Bars and Lounges: For pre- or post-show drinks, there are plenty of bars nearby. A few classic Hollywood cocktail lounges (some with outdoor patios) are just a block or two away. Some well-known nearby spots include the rooftop bar at the Dream Hotel (the Highlight Room, known for its skyline views ) or speakeasy-style lounges hidden in hotel lobbies. Young crowds often head to casual music bars and dance clubs along the stretch of Hollywood Boulevard.Hotels: Lodging is plentiful. If staying overnight, you’ll find names like the Loews Hollywood Hotel, the W Hollywood, and the Hollywood Roosevelt Hotel all within walking distance. These upscale hotels have convenient valet parking but can be pricey. A few budget and boutique hotels line the area too. Many guests coming from out of town use these hotels for proximity – just check walking distance to SERIES 19 on a map.Other Tips: Since shows often end late, it’s good to arrange a safe way home. Public transit (like buses) typically stops running around midnight, so rideshares, taxis, or walking to a hotel are common late-night options. Also, give yourself extra time for parking or traffic if you plan to hit a nearby restaurant before the show – Hollywood Boulevard can get congested, especially on weekends.
What Makes This Venue Special
SERIES 19 stands out as a new-generation venue that marries high-tech production with a local feel. Unlike plain over-the-top mega-clubs, it maintains an intimate vibe where the crowd is close to the performers. Its design includes eye-catching details – for example, clubbers have noted similarities to other iconic L.A. spots (Sound’s “geometric lanterns” and Avalon’s “eye-catching architecture” ). The lighting design includes colorful beams, laser effects, and even illuminated dance floor panels (recalling the “light-up flooring” trend at Kiss Kiss Bang Bang ). On the technical side, SERIES 19’s outfitting rivals industry leaders: state-of-art speakers and visuals, so that DJs and bands sound crisp and immersive. In fact, Sound boasts its one-of-a-kind Pioneer sound system and full 3D projection mapping within an 8,000 sq-ft room – SERIES 19 aspires to a similar level of audiovisual wizardry.
Culturally, SERIES 19 has quickly become a hub for Los Angeles’s nightlife creativity. It hosts both international touring acts and local artists, reflecting the city’s diverse music scene. The venue also supports special community events (from charity fundraisers to niche music festivals), strengthening its ties to Hollywood’s arts district. Performers appreciate SERIES 19 for the excellent staging and crowd closeness, often calling it party venue with “great energy.” Patrons love it for its combination of high production value and relaxed, no-pretension atmosphere–a contrast to strictly VIP-only clubs. It has already been the site of memorable nights (from rave-style dance parties to intimate acoustic showcases), helping it earn a reputation as a go-to destination. Overall, it embodies L.A.’s urban cool with a forward-thinking design, making SERIES 19 a special, must-visit venue in the city’s cultural landscape.
Visitor Tips and Information
To make the most of a SERIES 19 visit, keep these tips in mind. Arrive Early – Doors usually open 60–90 minutes before showtime, and lines can form even before then, especially for sold-out performances. Aim to get there early if you want a prime spot on the dance floor or to avoid missing any special opening act. What to Bring – Carry only essentials. A small clutch or bag should suffice (non-clear bags are allowed but typically inspected). Leave large backpacks, professional cameras, outside food or drinks at home – they won’t be allowed. ID is required; bring a valid government-issued photo ID for age verification (no exceptions, no temporary passes). Latecomers should note that doors often close at or around midnight and there is usually no late admittance after that without special permission.
Dress Code : SERIES 19 promotes a smart-casual party style. Think fashionable club attire. Strict formal wear isn’t required, but avoid sportswear, hats, or beachwear. Some nights (especially those with a higher-end DJ) may enforce upscale attire (no sneakers or shorts), so check each event’s dress policy. Age Limits : Most events are “21+” by law, so under-21s can only attend if the night is designated “18+” (rare in Hollywood clubs). Policies can vary by event, so double-check your ticket or event listing for age rules. Generally, expect a strictly carded entry if you look younger than 30. Accessibility : The venue is ADA accessible – it has a wheelchair ramp at the entrance and an accessible restroom. Inform staff if you need seating or assistance. If wheelchair seating is needed for concerts, contact the box office ahead of time.
Other Common Questions: Ramonto’s: No outside food or alcohol is permitted inside, and smoking is only allowed in outdoor areas (if any) or a designated smoking patio. Photography is typically allowed with phones, but flash or professional cameras may be prohibited on concert nights. It’s also useful to note that L.A. law requires clubs to stop alcohol service by 1:30 AM, with a hard close by 2 AM (though some big EDM nights can go until 3 AM) ; plan your evening accordingly. Finally, if you have questions on arrival or need help inside, staff is usually attentive; DON’T hesitate to ask the friendly security or venue crew for assistance or directions during the event.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the capacity of SERIES 19 and do seats have great views?
Series 19 is designed as a medium-large club space (several hundred people). It’s mostly standing-room with some VIP table seating along the sides. The best viewing spots are on the main dance floor right in front of the stage for immersion and at elevated tables for a clear sightline. The venue’s layout ensures most areas have good views of the stage.
Where can I buy tickets and what are the prices?
Tickets for Series 19 events are sold through the venue’s official channels – either on its own website/box office or at authorized outlets noted on the event page. Prices vary by show: small acts may have $20–$40 tickets, while big-name DJs or bands can run $50 or more. VIP tables and early-entry tickets are pricier. It’s best to buy online or at the venue in advance; unsold tickets may only be limited at the door.
Is the venue wheelchair accessible?
Yes. Series 19 has a wheelchair-accessible entrance and restroom. The main floor is largely open, and there are priority seating areas for those who need them. Staff can also provide assistance (e.g. help moving through crowds). If you require specific accommodations, it’s a good idea to contact the box office ahead of time to reserve accessible space or inform the host.
How early should I arrive before the show?
We recommend arriving at least 30–60 minutes before doors open. Early arrival ensures you can get through parking and security with time to spare, and lets you secure a good spot. For very popular acts or sold-out nights, fans often wait in line before doors to form, so some people even queue up 1–2 hours ahead. But generally, arriving 20–30 minutes after doors open still gets you in comfortably.
Are there dress code or age restrictions at SERIES 19?
Series 19 enforces a smart-casual dress code. Clubwear and fashion-forward attire are welcome; avoid overly casual items like flip-flops, hats, shorts, or athletic wear. Some themed nights may have more specific attire guidelines (always check the event notes). By law, most events here are 21+ only, so expect to show ID if you look under 30. Occasionally “18+” nights occur, but 21+ is the default, so always verify on your ticket.
What forms of payment are accepted for entry and at bars?
For event entry, tickets are generally paid by credit/debit card online or cash at the box office. At the door, most clubs accept both cash and card. Inside the venue, bars accept cash and major credit/debit cards (Visa, MasterCard, etc.). It’s wise to carry some cash for faster bar service or tips, but card payment is available and widely used.
Is there on-site parking at SERIES 19 and how much is it?
Parking in Hollywood is limited. Series 19 may have a small lot (often valet) behind or beside the building for a fee (roughly $10–$20), but it often fills up fast. Nearby public parking garages (like those near Hollywood Boulevard or Highland) are available at similar rates. Street parking is scarce and metered; after certain hours you might find free spots but you must read the signs carefully. Most guests find it easier to use rideshare or the subway.
What is the best seating or standing area for concerts?
For a great view, the center of the dance floor right in front of the stage is ideal for concerts or DJs (you’re on level with the performers). If you prefer to watch without jostling, elevated VIP tables along the sides or back offer good sightlines over the crowd. Avoid the very back of the club until late, as it can get crowded near the bars. In general, closer is better for both sound and view.
Are cameras or phones allowed inside?
Smart-phone photography (non-flash) is usually allowed, so you can capture moments on video or photo. However, professional cameras or video recorders are generally prohibited unless you have press credentials, because they can interfere with other guests. No drones or recording devices beyond a phone. Flash is discouraged as it can disrupt performers and others. In short: casual filming with your phone is fine, just don’t block the view of those behind you.
Is Series 19 accessible by public transit?
Yes. The venue is located near Hollywood’s main Metro Red Line stops. Hollywood/Vine and Hollywood/Highland stations are both within easy walking distance (5–10 minutes). Several bus lines run along Hollywood Boulevard and nearby streets as well. Taking the subway or bus is often recommended to avoid parking hassles, especially since last trains leave around midnight.
What should I avoid bringing to the show?
Avoid bringing large bags, outside drinks/food, or any prohibited items. Weapons, illegal substances, selfie sticks and professional camera gear (unless approved) are not allowed. Any liquids, even water bottles, may be confiscated. Avoid bulky possessions – only small wallets or clutches are advisable. If you have a medical need (like medications), just keep them minimal and inform security. In short, bring the essentials and leave extras at home.
Does Series 19 have late-night food options or dining inside?
Series 19 itself is primarily a club and does not have a full kitchen, so it does not serve meals beyond bar snacks (if any). There may be simple snacks or bottled concessions behind the bar area. For actual dining, it’s best to eat before the show. The neighborhood has some late-night food options (like pizza or taco shops) after the club closes, but none open past the last call. Plan on eating beforehand if you need a meal.
Is there a place to store coats or bags during the event?
Yes, a coat-check service is available near the entrance (sometimes with a line during busy nights) for a small fee (usually a few dollars). You can check jackets and larger bags there. Smaller personal items can be kept with you on the dance floor. Security will ask you to empty bulging pockets or check any item that looks like it could be concealed while at entry anyway.
