City National Grove of Anaheim, Music venue near Angel Stadium in Anaheim, United States.
City National Grove of Anaheim is an indoor live music venue on Katella Avenue, just east of Interstate 5 and on the northwest corner of Angel Stadium's parking lot. It holds about 1,700 people. Its cream-colored facade has a central arched entryway with a black metal gate and stairs; above the arch, raised capital letters read "THE GROVE OF ANAHEIM", flanked by blue banners and display panels.
The building opened in 1998 as Tinseltown, a restaurant with an awards-show theme, then transformed into an entertainment space hosting live performances. It received its current name in 2011, establishing itself as a dedicated concert venue serving the region.
The venue's name comes from its 1998 origins as Tinseltown, an awards-show-themed restaurant, before it became The Grove of Anaheim. Its stage has hosted Bob Dylan, B.B. King, Prince, Merle Haggard, Julio Iglesias and comedian George Lopez, so a single season can pair country, blues, Latin pop and stand-up. The facade's display panels announce coming acts such as Voltaire and Gipsy Kings.
The venue sits on the northwest corner of Angel Stadium's parking lot, just east of Interstate 5 on Katella Avenue. It is also near the Anaheim Regional Transportation Intermodal Center, served by Amtrak and Metrolink. The entrance is a recessed doorway behind a black metal gate, reached by stairs.
The venue shares parking grounds with Angel Stadium next door, occasionally mixing crowds from baseball games and concerts in the same spaces. This arrangement reflects how entertainment destinations in the area often overlap physically even when their events run on different schedules.
