A go to. Great little bar.

Can't go wrong at KnuckleHead!!!

Great space, and staff!

Unique that the facilities are on the side of the stage. Makes for a memorable show lol.

Cool little spot, nice vibe. Came for a show, I love the intimate spots.

One of the comfiest venues I've been to for a while. The sound was actually incredible for such a small space, and the outside area was quite nice.

Beat rock bar in LA!! Walked in to a live metal band, nothing beats that. They played some great music after the band as well. Will definitely be making this place one of my go to spots 🤘🏽

I love this place for so many reasons. The employees there were amazing, the go go dancers were sexy two. Over the moon 🌙 feeling would Recommend going to this place

Great place for music. Parking sucks and surrounding neighborhood is to be aware! Drink prices resemble a higher end establishment🤔 still great place for live music!!

Metal, Goth, Punk, and much more played at this venue. Excellent and friendly staff, highly recommend this place for your alternative fix. This place is definitely becoming a Hollywood staple!

This place is always a vibe. Usually some super unique event happening you can’t really find anywhere else.

My second time going! The drinks were amazing The music was also great!!

Place is amazing and host some of the best evening Los Angeles

Really good vibe, I went there with some friends and we had an amazing time. Staff is really friendly and they making great cocktails. I recommend it !!!

Pretty chill bar. I’ve search for something like this. Cool music. Rock/metal. Drinks in point. And a big enough patio that does not feel crowded. Stop by sometime.

Great Atmosphere great drinks highly recommend specially when they have events by the elegy ensemble the bartenders make great drinks or Alvin👍👍🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

One of the greatest bar's to ever be opened in Santa Monica, great beer, awesome place to watch some band's or LIVE wrestling.

Always amazing music 🎶 Great vibes! Only complaint

Love this place! Great drinks, great service. They do karaoke Tuesday nights and an open mic for comics before that. 🤘

Great drinks, friendly service and all around great vibes!

Everything about this place is awesome, quality staff, musicians and all around super cool place to go spend your evening.

Wonderful environment filled with friendly and professional people. The sound engineer ensured that all audio was well balanced throughout the night 🌙

Best place in Hollywood heavy metal & rock n roll

I always have a blast here and especially when I go out drinking

Great bar with friendly and professional staff, had a great experience coming here. Looking forward to visiting Knucklehead again

Staff is friendly! Love this venue!👌🏼🤘🏼

Pretty cool bar/venue the staff was great also.

My experiences at this bar have all been pleasant and full of laughter. The staff is friendly, professional, and accommodating. It's exciting to see this establishment grow. The best part is the outdoor patio in back. The atmosphere is relaxed and welcoming. You've got to check it out!

Found this new bar by accident walking by today, they just opened and have a large Indoor space as well as outdoor patio. They have sort of a dive bar feel but without the dirt very clean place and friendly staff. Just stopped for a quick drink had a smooth Aris vodka martini. Will definitely be back during night hours for the great hospitality!

My local bar - always good vibes and good drinks - they always have live bands - easy parking def a cool spot.

I came here to support friends and local bands and to have a great time. This place didn't disappoint. It was my first time and it was great. All around good vibes. I will be back with my squad 🤘🏼🖤🤘🏼.

Came in on a Sunday afternoon for a round of Old Fashioneds before a show at the Palladium. They were setting up for the night's live music which sounded like a lot of fun. Drinks were perfect and will definitely be back to check out a band here in the future.

By far the best experience I've ever had in a club/bar. This is my favorite place on Earth and I live in NY now. I've been all over the world and the owners/staff know what they are doing! I love it there ❤️

Finally a smaller sized (and i mean that in the best possible way) venue / bar actually in Hollywood that hosts live metal, punk, goth, burlesque, karaoke, bazaars, and of course themed DJs. Sound is typically nicel, loud & clear- great spot for gigs, also a decent sized patio in the back that usually has somebody slinging up some good grub as well.

I absolutely love this place. Has an enclosed smoking area, lots of fun, the owner Alvin is a great guy! Reasonably priced beer and the staff are awesome

Great spot for hanging out and the occasional metal show!

Cool venue in Hollywood… saw a some cool dark wave bands here… owner is present and is a real cool dude… great bartenders.. indoor and outdoor.. had a great time 🔥💪🔥

Dope little spot on the outskirts of Hollywood. Parking wasn’t too bad around the area and it felt decently safe. Lots of good metal bands playing here. Saw a band called Draconian Oracle and they killed it live! The atmosphere there was really chill with tons of fog going off. Staff is really professional and the drinks were fairly priced. Overall I think this venue is a hood spot to stop at and see some sick underground bands! 🤘

This bar was so fun. Great music great service. They have nonalcoholic options. I went on a night when they had 2 bands perform and a dj.

Was there for a concert the staff was friendly. The venue is small so a more personal experience when it came to see my favorite band ( Creeper 🖤💜 ) which I loved .

Stumbled into this place after seeing a ad for a home alone wrestling match lol - i’ve gone back three times since - it’s a rock and roll bar - loud music - hot girls and cheap drinks (for Hollywood anyways) big patio and staff is cool.

Gotta ho back really big tons of packages for you to select many family actives great for budgets and non budgets. A must go. All I knew was Dave and busters main event. Putt shack but now KNUCKLE HEAD HOLLYWOOD

Great metal bar with a really great vibe especially on the weekends. Staff are always nice and helpful with drinks. Music is always on point. Hard to find a good rock bar nowadays but this is definitely one to check out. Highly recommend!

Went for my first time last Saturday night I absolutely loved it. Great music goth dark wave Alternative hood vibes nice and dark inside it’s perfect good fun crowd Definitely will be going back again

Dropped in a few nights ago & had an outstanding time hanging out with some lovely people. It's a really cool bar with a great, true metal vibe, and you'll have to go a very long way to meet a nicer bloke than Alvin. Thank you all! Sam & Adele from England.

they have PBR tall boys so automatic 10/10 very kind staff too attended an event put on by a friend on Monday, the outdoor patio area is large enough to set up other activities so it wasn't just a boring smoking area, there was literally something to do in every corner of the venue. big thanks to the awesome staff for giving a great venue for the event! I would absolutely come to another show at this venue.

This is for sure my new favorite bar in Hollywood. The vibe,music,staff are all great & the bartenders are very sweet and attentive. They definitely know how to make a great cocktail. I love that this bar is super dog friendly. I will definitely be coming back with my dog and friends. 10 out of 10.

ITS A VERY SMALL BAR

Good place to grab a drink and good tunes.

Nice dance spot great bar tenders

This is one of the nicer small venues. The acts they have vary every night. The bathrooms are sorta gross, but it can be overlooked.

Everything is cool in this place but the parking... there's no place to park. But then again, it is L.A.

Amazing venue with easy parking access, small for a 200 person show but very nice. Drinks are a little expensive. Nice outdoor seating

The bathroom is next to the stage, so you either go in before the band plays and hope you dont interrupt them when you come out, or interrupt their set to go to the bathroom, or hold it I guess. They do lots of smoke machine if youre into that. If not, it can get a little hard to breathe, especially since the venue is small and gets crowded.Nice stage area. Street parking in Hollywood is tough. Good shows / DJ nights.

Cool dive spot for metal/goth shows. Outdoor patio area for merch/smoking. One gripe is the design of the stage being directly next to the restrooms; people would have no choice but to walk on the stage (near the band, mid-performance) to get to the restroom...😬 Regardless..go...support the local scene 🤘

A smaller sized bar in Hollywood, close to Hollywood Forever Cemetery - great for pregaming. Overall vibe… think live gigs, metal, punk, goth, burlesque, karaoke. Service was great and sound was as you’d expect of a live gigs joint.

A quality dive bar is a hard thing to find.

This was my first time at Knucklehead and I went because my friend Noizith was DJing for Doom & Boom Club and it was a fun time!

It's a tiny place. Some may find it more intimate for shows. It has a nice atmosphere even though it smelled like pee when I first walked in, but that's just the smell of Hollywood I suppose. The stage is tiny and awkward because it's also the pathway to the restrooms. You literally walk up to the stage to get to the restroom. Other than that, love the back patio! It's a decent place, do recommend! Parking is fine, plenty of street parking.

Cool spot, small place. Limited drink options.

Loved the venue, atmosphere, had a great film photo booth and the staff at the door were very friendly and welcoming. The bartender that served us had a very bad attitude and approach unfortunately. They had their own version of a Moscow mule that was really good and we went to order more. Initially asked for 2 but decided to get a third because we all really liked it and asked for another one as she was working on the first one. She then gave us a nasty look and lectured us on how to order and to do all together next time. I’m sure it was a bit inconvenient but if your job is to make drinks all night, we didn’t realize asking her for another one was such a sin. It was very condescending and definitely killed our mood for a bit but luckily the venue itself did a great job with their event hosting and we were able to enjoy the rest of our night

Great place I just misread the live act and went to metal night & as a indie fan I felt out of place in colors while everyone dressed in all black so I ducked out after about 30 minutes not my scene and I felt way out of place oh well stool a great place to go

Cute spot in a fun little area of Hollywood that is not congested. The vibe is a variety of fun folks and happy faces. The one criticism I have is in regards to the cleaniness of the establishment. The venue holds the stench of urine and needs some love and attention. All they need to do is clean the floors and get some air fresheners. I'm sure my next experience at Knucklehead Hollywood will be that that much better once this is addressed.

It’s a little cramped! Here but the outside area is nice

This place is nice but it gets cramped very quickly and the layout of the bar is strange. The bathrooms are by the dance floor/band stage. The dance floor is a bit higher up and the entirety of the bar is looking at the dance floor from a side angle. Parking is also an absolute nightmare here. It might be better to uber here if possible. Overall I think it's a nice place for smaller events but medium to larger sized events this place gets claustrophobic real fast.

The worst place place for live music . A backyard gig is probably way better than this place for live music . the bar tenders are decent .

The parking in the area is terrible. The staff at the front tried to scam for 20 dollar entry to a "free after party" The venue is crammed. Drinks are alright. Very mid.

The outside space is quite nice, inside is a bit tight around the stage. The drinks were served quickly, but when I went to pay my tab (opened with a credit card previous) was more than I expected and I was advised there was a premium charged on drinks purchased with credit cards. That should be something I was advised of before stating a tab with a card.

I have a disability and needed my wheelchair. I asked if I can come in and they said yes. There is no real accommodations for a person in a wheelchair. I had to leave early because there was nowhere I can comfortably enjoy the music without feeling I was in the way of people there. I know people's rudeness there is not the owners fault but I even got my drink spilled on because people there could care less and will bump you and kick your chair. I think the owner needs to make sure ALL PAYING customers can be accommodated. Just wanted to hear music and enjoy my time. Booo....be better.

Goth bar

Were closed during open hours!

The female goth bartenders were very judgmental, unprofessional, and discriminatory. Very poor service and rude.

Don't order drinks from the blonde girl, she will charge you 80 dollars for 2 15 dollar drinks and since they conveniently don't have a phone number to call you can't get any support from them. Good luck trying to get a chargeback too because apparently if it's in person the bank doesn't have the right to do so.

Went to check out Josh Barnetts show and was told by security since he didn't have change he couldn't let me in. I said I can buy a drink inside to get change for you. He said not its possible, I should go to the liquor store down the street to buy beer so I can get change. I said cool but by the time I buy beer and drink it won't be worth my time to go in. Waste of time. Incompetent security guard.
