The Lodge Room, a new venue in the Figueroa corridor Highland Park, is scheduled to debut in November.
The 500-capacity room is located in the old Highland Park Masonic Lodge at 104 N. Ave. 56, virtually across the street from the Greyhound bar. Built in 1923, the building has hidden trap doors, original cherry wood paneling, embossed cotton anaglypta and hand-painted murals. The 8,000-square-foot space will feature three bars and a restaurant, called Checker Hall, that will be open regardless of whether there is a show.
The venue will be booked and marketed by the promoter duo Sid The Cat — Brandon Gonzalez and Kyle Wilkerson (the latter doubles as the talent buyer at the Bootleg Theater) — who have been staging occasional shows at the Highland Park Ebell Club.
Thus far, three shows have been scheduled at the Lodge Room starting in December: Bedouine (Dec. 9), the Album Leaf (Dec. 15) and Black Marble (Jan. 12). Details about the room’s opening night in November are forthcoming.
More info to come (after we have a look at the room).
