Permanent Records Roadhouse

Fun dive to see live bands. The staff are fast and friendly, the drinks are strong, the sound is good, and some booth seating is available. The outside patio has room for a lot of merch tables, the smoking lounge is set away from the crowds, they have a taco vendor and tables for eating, and, of course, vinyl displayed for sale. Great, gritty vibe and a fun time!

So grateful that a space like this exists in general. I’ve been for comedy shows, local bands, and some of my favorite touring acts, as well as just to check out the record store in back on a weekend afternoon. Each time I remind myself how I should be back more often and how I wish it was walking distance to me. Why the review now? Well, last night I had some of the best limes of my entire life. They were so good that I just had to leave a review. Shoutout to John who helped us out at the bar and was likely the person cutting those limes earlier that day. Rather than waiting for the next event I want to catch here (Matt Pryor on 3/2), I’ll be back ASAP because I can’t stop thinking about the limes. 🍋‍🟩

Drove up to LA from San Diego for a concert and made it a point to come to the record store. Did not regret it one bit. Lance, the owner, is super friendly and knowledgeable. The store has a great variety of records, including rare and sealed pressings. Lots of 90s OG pressings as well, which I collect. His prices are very reasonable and the store is well organized. I recommend that anyone in the LA area stop by his store. I definitely will when I drive back up!

Pleasantly surprised! Came here for a DJ set hosted by some of my favorite podcasters. The DJ set was in their patio area where they have tables and chairs and shade. They also have a small records store that’s packed with all sorts of goodies (and canned beverages)! Really well organized too. Their $1 section had some great stuff. Lance helped me out with my purchases and he was very kind. The building in the front is a music venue with a full bar. Didn’t get a chance to go inside and explore but I’ll definitely be back to check it out. Look forward to coming back, having a bevvy, and doing some digging or catching a show.

Sound quality was great, staff and owners are so communicative and helpful. Lance the owner is a really great guy. I loved performing here. A big plus is that as an indie artist you keep all your tickets sales and merch sales. Love this venue.
