The Smell, Underground music venue in Downtown Los Angeles, United States
The Smell occupies a building at 247 South Main Street, featuring a performance space, vegan snack bar, library, and art gallery within its walls.
Established in 1998 in North Hollywood, the venue relocated to Downtown Los Angeles in 1999 due to increasing rental costs in its original location.
This volunteer-operated establishment functions as a platform for experimental music, punk rock performances, and artistic expression without age restrictions or alcohol consumption.
The entrance fee ranges from 5 to 15 dollars, with performances scheduled throughout the week and parking available in adjacent lots and a garage.
The venue received its name from the characteristic odor in the back alley where visitors enter through an unmarked door to access the performance space.
