About The Rose Room
The Rose Room is an intimate, industrial-loft event space in Venice Beach, Los Angeles. Just steps from the sand, it occupies over 2,000 square feet of open studio space with original warehouse character (www.roseroom.space) (www.peerspace.com). Exposed concrete floors, high wood-beam ceilings and eight large skylights flood the loft with natural light (www.roseroom.space) (www.ticketfairy.com). A scenic bay window even provides a glimpse of the beach from inside (www.ticketfairy.com). The venue opened in the late 2010s as part of the Venice Beach Club family of venues and quickly earned a reputation as a “hidden gem on the Westside” (www.roseroom.space) (www.ticketfairy.com). In Venice – a neighborhood known for its iconic boardwalk and Abbot Kinney boutiques – The Rose Room has become a beloved landmark (www.ticketfairy.com) (www.venicebeachclubla.com). Performers praise its professional-grade sound system and bright atmosphere, while audiences enjoy the up-close, gallery-like vibe. Though its history is recent, The Rose Room’s blend of industrial-chic design and beachfront location gives it a unique character in the local scene (www.ticketfairy.com) (www.venicebeachclubla.com).
Events and Programming
The Rose Room hosts a wide variety of events, mostly driven by independent promoters. On any given weekend you might find electronic dance parties, DJ nights, live concerts, art exhibitions or creative mixers in the space. For example, “Venice Gets Deep” dance nights featuring local and touring DJs (such as Marques Wyatt) have been regular events here (breezit.com). In 2023 the venue even served as the official after-party for the local Rosé on Rose wine festival (www.venicepaparazzi.com). Similarly, community gatherings like Venice Art Crawl mixers and film screenings have taken advantage of the flexible loft layout (www.venicepaparazzi.com) (www.ticketfairy.com). Events are generally on weekends (Friday or Saturday nights) or special occasions; we have seen occasional matinees and daytime art shows thanks to the skylit space. Public events are typically 21+ (with government ID check at door) and range from free or low-cost community nights to ticketed club shows. Ticket prices usually run in the $10–30 range, depending on the popularity of the act (major DJ lineups or branded parties may be up to $30–40 (ra.co) (breezit.com)). Performances often attract a creative, energetic crowd, and because the loft holds only a few hundred people (225 standing capacity), shows can sell out quickly. Private rentals (weddings, corporate off-sites, pop-ups) also occur, but these are arranged through the venue’s management and not open to the general public.
Tickets and Booking
There is no permanent box office at The Rose Room, so tickets must be purchased through each event’s promoter or service. Generally, you’ll find Rose Room events listed on ticket platforms (like Dice, Eventbrite, or club listings) or on social media, where the organizer sets ticket prices and presale dates. If an event looks popular it’s wise to buy (or RSVP) early—crowd favorites often sell out in advance due to the venue’s limited size. Some smaller events simply charge a door cover on arrival. Ticket prices vary by show: local DJ nights or community mixers might be $10–20, while larger bookings (national acts or themed parties) often run $25–35 (ra.co). (For reference, a recent Venice Gets Deep DJ night listed tickets around $30 (ra.co).) Note that most public events are 21+ and require a valid ID at the door for entry (ra.co). For private events (like weddings or corporate parties), booking is handled directly through the venue. The Rose Room can provide full-service event support (staffing, catering, A/V) with minimum spends in the several-thousand-dollar range (breezit.com) (www.ticketfairy.com). In fact, one listing notes a weekday minimum spend of about $5,000 for private bookings (breezit.com). The venue team can often even arrange extras like valet parking or preferred parking on busy nights if needed (www.ticketfairy.com).
Seating and Layout
The Rose Room is essentially one big open loft with no fixed seating, so layout is determined by each event’s setup. By default it is general admission standing room, with room for about 225 people on the main floor (www.peerspace.com). For seated events, the vendor can configure up to roughly 125 chairs in theater style, or a mix of seated tables (about 40) plus 80 standing (www.peerspace.com). The space features a street-level entrance on Rose Ave, leading directly into the high-ceilinged loft. One entire wall is reserved for the sound system and performance area (DJ booth or small stage) (www.ticketfairy.com). Opposite that wall, along one side of the room, is the bar and service area – a long counter and kitchen space that provides drinks and any catered food. There are also a few loose furnishings available (a handful of benches, couches, tables) that can create lounge seating if requested (www.peerspace.com). However, most of the floor remains clear for dancing or mingling (www.ticketfairy.com). Just behind the bar is the venue’s single restroom (usually unisex) (www.ticketfairy.com), so plan ahead as lines can form on busy nights. Because of the loft’s open layout, sightlines are good from most spots – whether you’re dancing up front, leaning against a wall, or grabbing a drink by the bar. Just note that in crowded conditions you may be standing close to others, as there are no railings or stadium steps. Sound-wise, audio can get loud against the hard surfaces, so you will likely feel the bass in your chest in the front rows. In-house sound gear includes a small VUE speaker array and subs (guaranteeing “world-class” club sound) (www.ticketfairy.com) (www.peerspace.com). In-house lighting includes colored uplights on the walls, spotlights, and even a disco ball or two for party ambiance (www.peerspace.com). If you want a more seated experience, the corners or back of the room are often marginally quieter and offer a little more space.
Getting There and Parking
The Rose Room’s address is 6 Rose Ave., Venice CA 90291 (www.discoverlosangeles.com). It lies just one block inland from the Venice Beach Boardwalk (near Windward Ave), and three blocks south of Abbot Kinney Blvd. By car, GPS will take you into a dense part of Venice Beach. There is limited street parking on nearby side streets (Rose Ave has metered spots) and some small private lots. The large county parking lot at 300 Ocean Front Walk (Beach lot #2) is only a 2–3 minute walk away and offers hourly parking – rates are typically $1.50–$4 per hour on weekdays, and about $9–18 flat on weekends (summer rates are higher) (www.peerspace.com). The peerspace listing notes average lot rates around $4–6 weekdays, $9–18 weekends, depending on season (www.peerspace.com). In practice, many guests simply use rideshare (Uber/Lyft) – drop-off is convenient on Rose Ave or Washington Blvd, just outside the door. Biking is also popular (there are bike racks at Rose & Washington) and the beach path is bike-friendly. If using public transit, Culver City’s Big Blue Bus #1 stops at Washington/Rose a short walk away, and Metro line 18 runs along Lincoln just a block south of Washington (www.ticketfairy.com). The nearest light rail (Metro Expo Line) terminus is Downtown Santa Monica; from there you’d connect with a short bus or bike ride. For evening events, the venue sometimes arranges valet or reserved parking (often cooperating with the neighboring Venice Beach Club bar) (www.ticketfairy.com). In short, plan extra time to find parking or consider carpooling into the busy beach area.
Inside the Venue
Upon arrival at The Rose Room, you’ll enter through the front door on Rose Avenue into a bright, white-walled loft. Typically an event staff or bouncer will check IDs and tickets at the entrance (especially for 21+ shows) (www.ticketfairy.com). The interior has an open, industrial-chic atmosphere – you’ll notice exposed concrete support columns, track lighting on the ceiling, and a casual vibe. The dress code is relaxed (lots of casual or “urban trendy” wear), though some theme parties encourage playful or creative outfits (www.ticketfairy.com). Once inside, you’ll have the main floor to move around in: one side wall is taken up by the DJ booth or performance area, and the opposite side features the bar and serving counter. The bar is well-stocked (cocktails, beer, wine, etc.), with bartenders to serve most nights (www.ticketfairy.com). There is usually no built-in dining; at some events you might see passed appetizers or a food truck outside, but drinks must be purchased through the bar unless otherwise noted. The venue provides free Wi-Fi and there are outlets along the walls, so you can charge phones if needed (www.ticketfairy.com). Do note there is just one restroom inside – it’s tucked behind the bar area (“private restroom” on the floorplan) and is typically a single unisex room (www.ticketfairy.com). There is no coat check unless arranged in advance, so most people keep jackets or bags at their feet or put them on a seat. Photography with phones is generally allowed unless a performer explicitly forbids it. Smoking or vaping inside is not permitted, but there’s a small outdoor patio at the back of the building for smokers (www.ticketfairy.com). Overall, The Rose Room tends to feel spacious and comfortable – the high ceilings keep the air flowing so it never feels too cramped, even when packed. However, the concrete floor can make the bass feel intense, so many guests opt for sneakers or flats for a long night of dancing. Staff are on hand to help, but remember this is a simple, casual venue – it’s not a luxury club with lounge seating everywhere, but rather a working event space with a friendly, do-it-yourself energy.
Nearby Amenities
The Rose Room is in the heart of tourist-friendly Venice Beach, so there is no shortage of nearby amenities. Literally next door is the Venice Beach Club – a popular beachfront bar and restaurant – and across the street is The Rose Venice bistro (www.ticketfairy.com). A short walk north (about 4–5 blocks) along Rose Ave and Pacific Ave brings you to Abbot Kinney Blvd, lined with restaurants, cafes and shops. Within walking distance you’ll find snack and dining options like Jeni’s Splendid Ice Cream, Wabi-Sabi Ramen, Chulita Taqueria and the American Beauty cocktail lounge (www.ticketfairy.com). If you want a sit-down meal before a show, consider places like Gjelina (pizza/brunch), Buena Vida or Mothership Coffee for casual fare. After the show, bars and lounges on Abbot Kinney or Windward (e.g. Hinano Bar for tropical cocktails, The Brig for club vibes, etc.) are just a short walk for late-night drinks. As for lodging, there are many hotels and guesthouses near Venice Beach: for example, The Rose Hotel (at 847 Rose Ave), Hotel Erwin (on Ocean Front Walk at 10th St), and boutique places like Venice Beach House (off Lincoln Boulevard) are all a few blocks away. Alternatively, Abbot Kinney and surrounding streets have plenty of Airbnb rentals and motels. Just be mindful of Venice’s parking rules when returning – most street parking is timed or paid.
What Makes This Venue Special
The Rose Room stands out as a unique hybrid of beach-town charm and underground loft style. Unlike typical clubs, it feels like a white-walled art gallery or a hip warehouse party space – its natural light and blank canvas quality set it apart (www.venicebeachclubla.com) (www.peerspace.com). It brings nightlife right next to the ocean: you can dance under beams and skylights with the sound of waves only a block away. The atmosphere is unpretentious and creative, reflecting Venice’s bohemian spirit. Culturally, the venue has quickly become a local cornerstone, hosting events that support community causes and local artists (www.ticketfairy.com). For instance, being selected as the official Rosé on Rose after-party in 2023 shows how it has been embraced by the neighborhood’s events scene (www.venicepaparazzi.com). Many patrons describe it as a “cherished landmark” despite its youth (www.ticketfairy.com). Architecturally, it’s a fresh take on Venice Beach venues – more intimate than an outdoor boardwalk stage but more open and versatile than a fixed-themed nightclub. Guests and performers often comment that the flexible space and professional amenities (sound system, lighting, projector, etc.) allow each event to shine in its own way (www.peerspace.com) (www.ticketfairy.com). And of course, the name “Rose Room” ties into the neighborhood lore (Rose Avenue and a history of local “Rose” entities), giving it a sense of place. In short, The Rose Room works because it’s both functional and fun: it delivers high-quality concert/club experiences in a space that feels very true to Venice’s artistic, community-driven vibe.
Visitor Tips and Information
The Rose Room is designed to be comfortable and accessible, but here are some tips to make your visit smoother. Almost all advertised public shows are 21+ events, so bring a valid photo ID to get in (www.ticketfairy.com). The entrance is ground level with no stairs, so strollers or wheelchairs can usually navigate the front door; however, the restroom is small, so patrons needing ADA accommodations should call ahead (www.ticketfairy.com). There is no strict dress code – come casual or themed, as the crowd is often trendy and relaxed (www.ticketfairy.com) (www.ticketfairy.com). The concrete floor means it can be loud and hard on your feet after hours of dancing; it’s wise to wear comfortable shoes (no high heels) or bring earplugs if you’re sensitive to bass (www.ticketfairy.com). You are allowed to take phone photos or videos, but professional cameras/tripods may be disallowed by some events, so check in advance if you need press passes (www.ticketfairy.com). As a general precaution, many Los Angeles venues implement a “wee bag” or 14″x14″ size limit on bags – even if The Rose Room itself doesn’t publish a policy, it’s smart to carry only essentials (wallet/phone/keys) to pass security quickly (www.ticketfairy.com). There is no coat check by default, so either wear layers or keep jackets on your body or on a chair. It’s also recommended to arrive early – doors often open 30–60 minutes before showtime, and an early arrival means shorter lines and better choice of spot on the floor (www.ticketfairy.com). If you plan to drive, give yourself plenty of time for parking (or consider rideshare after-hours). One last tip: because the venue draws an artsy crowd, feel free to embrace Venice style – creative outfit ideas or fun accessories fit right in. Overall, just come prepared to have a good time in a laid-back, friendly setting!
What is the capacity of The Rose Room?
The Rose Room’s main floor can hold about 225 people standing (general admission) (www.peerspace.com). If seats are arranged in rows (theater style) it fits roughly 175. For fully seated dinners or presentations, capacity is about 125 seated (www.peerspace.com). Note these are maximums; the actual number may be slightly lower depending on stage and setup. The venue also has a handful of benches and couches for casual seating (www.peerspace.com).
Where can I buy tickets for a show at The Rose Room?
Tickets are sold through the organizers of each event, not a central box office. Check the event’s page on ticket sites (Dice, Resident Advisor, etc.) or the promoter’s social media. Sometimes tickets go on sale weeks ahead; other times events offer door entry only. If in doubt, searching online for “Rose Room [artist or event name]” usually leads to ticket info. Always buy from official sources and be aware that popular shows can sell out in advance.
Is there a seating chart or assigned seating?
No fixed seating chart applies to The Rose Room since it’s a flexible space. Most concerts and dance events are general admission, so first-come, first-served on the main floor. For certain events (like club nights or presentations), the promoter may rent folding chairs or tables, but these are pop-up setups. In short, you usually choose your spot in the open area – standing near the DJ booth or lounge in the back – unless the ticket explicitly says otherwise.
What is the parking situation and public transit access?
Parking on Rose Ave and nearby streets is metered (usually about $1–2/hour). There are also city beach lots a short walk away for a flat daily rate ($9–18 on weekends, less on weekdays) (www.peerspace.com). Many attendees take rideshare (drop-off is easy on Rose Ave at Washington Blvd). For transit, Culver City Bus #1 stops at Washington & Rose, and Metro Bus 18 runs along Lincoln nearby (www.ticketfairy.com). The closest train is the Metro Expo Line in downtown Santa Monica, which requires a transfer; from Santa Monica you’d catch a 7 or 18 bus or bike down to Venice Beach. Biking is popular too – the boardwalk and neighborhood have bike lanes and plenty of bike racks near the venue. In general, plan extra time if driving in the Venice Beach area, or try train/bus to Santa Monica then bus/vans to Venice.
Is The Rose Room wheelchair accessible?
The venue entrance is at street level with no stairs, so wheelchairs can enter easily (www.ticketfairy.com). Inside, the main floor is flat and spacious. However, there is only one restroom (a small, single-user facility), which might be tight for a wheelchair. If you have specific accessibility needs, it’s a good idea to contact the event organizer or venue ahead of time so they can assist (the staff can open space or add ramps if needed). In practice most wheelchair-using patrons have been able to attend, but advanced notice ensures a smoother experience (www.ticketfairy.com) (www.ticketfairy.com).
Can I take photos or bring a camera?
Personal cameras and phones are usually allowed and guests often snap photos or videos during events. Just be respectful: don’t use flash if performers request no-flash. Professional photography equipment (large cameras, tripods) is generally restricted unless you have press or sponsor credentials. If media coverage is needed, check with the promoter beforehand. Otherwise, feel free to document your experience with a smartphone or small camera – just don’t block other guests.
What should I wear to The Rose Room?
Dress is very casual and trendy. Jeans, T-shirts, clubwear, and creative costumes (for themed nights) are all fine (www.ticketfairy.com) (www.ticketfairy.com). There is no formal dress code. Comfortable shoes are recommended since the floor is concrete, especially if you plan to dance for hours. Some guests like to wear layers (a light jacket or scarf) in case moments get chilly near open doors, but generally the space is climate-controlled. In short, wear whatever you feel good in – it’s Venice Beach after all!
What items are allowed or not allowed inside?
Unlike stadiums, The Rose Room doesn’t list a strict prohibited-item policy publicly. However, common rules generally apply: no outside alcohol, no weapons, and don’t bring large backpacks or coolers. Many LA clubs enforce a 14×14″ bag size limit, so it’s safest to bring only a small purse or fanny pack if possible (www.ticketfairy.com). Clear small handbags or pockets are ideal. Leave drones or professional recording gear at home unless you arranged it. Basic personal items (wallet, phone, keys, small camera) are fine. Also, smoking is not allowed indoors – use the outside patio if you need to smoke (www.ticketfairy.com). If in doubt, ask security at the door – they’ll usually lay out any rules at entry.
Is food available at The Rose Room?
The venue itself does not have a kitchen or permanent cafe – it’s meant for catered events or club nights. However, there is a bar that serves drinks. Some events might offer complimentary snacks or hire a local caterer (for example, a taco stand or buffet) (www.roseroom.space), but this is not guaranteed. If you plan to eat, it’s best to dine before coming (there are plenty of nearby restaurants) or bring in a small snack if the event allows it. Water is often available at the bar too, and bartenders usually handle soft drinks and coffee upon request.
Are there restrooms and a coat check?
There is a single restroom inside The Rose Room, located behind the bar (www.ticketfairy.com). It’s usually one unisex stall, so lines can form at busy times. There is no public coat check or locker – bring only what you need, and keep jackets with you (or hang them on a chair or bench). If you have a bulky coat, you might want to rent a locker nearby or leave it in your car. Plan accordingly if you arrive in winter layers.
Does The Rose Room have sound and lighting equipment?
Yes. The Rose Room provides a professional AV setup. The in-house sound system includes a multi-speaker (four-element) VUE audio rig with subwoofers, which is well-regarded by DJs and performers (www.peerspace.com) (www.ticketfairy.com). There is also a standard stage lighting package – colored uplights on the walls, a disco ball or mirror ball, and spotlights – to create ambiance (www.peerspace.com). In addition, the venue offers Wi-Fi, a wireless microphone, and even a projector (for daytime visuals) as part of its amenities (www.peerspace.com). The technical team can generally support loud music nights, dance parties, or even presentations. If you have special production needs, these should be arranged with the promoter or venue in advance.
What is the noise level like?
The Rose Room can get fairly loud during music events, as there is no soundproofing – speakers blast directly into the open loft. Bass notes travel easily on the hard floor and walls (www.ticketfairy.com). If you are sensitive to loud music, consider wearing earplugs. Otherwise, most regulars find the vibe exciting and immersive. After events, it’s good to step out and cool off; you’ll likely hear music from blocks away even when you leave!
What time do shows at The Rose Room typically start and end?
Evening events at The Rose Room usually start late: doors often open around 8–9pm and music runs until midnight or later. Headliner sets often begin after 10pm. Some promoters advertise a second room or afterparty beyond this time (especially on weekends), but by law music volume must drop as you approach 1am. The venue itself closes legally around 12:30am Manager suggests leaving enough travel time. If arriving early, you may catch opening sets; if late, you might miss performers (the crowds often peak around 10:30pm–12:00am). Check the specific event listing for the exact schedule.
How far is The Rose Room from the beach and boardwalk?
Just a one-minute walk! The Rose Room sits on Rose Ave, one block from the beach path. You can easily step out onto the Venice Boardwalk and boardwalk amusement area within 2–3 minutes on foot. In fact, you’ll see the ocean if you look down the street or through the bar’s big window. Going to and from the beach is convenient (and great for a sunset stroll before a 9pm show).
