COMING UP AT LODGE ROOM

Tucked inside a 1920s Masonic Lodge in Highland Park, Lodge Room is one of L.A.’s most magnetic venues. With a 500-cap ballroom, rich wood paneling, and sound that hits just right, it’s the kind of place where you can see future legends before they outgrow the room. Intimate, reverent, and just a little haunted — in the best way.

Here’s what’s coming up next:
