The Mayan

Elaborate Decor, upper and lower viewing areas, roof access for smoking, good acoustic audio and the stage has a lot of depth can have a party up there 😜

Great atmosphere & awesome music. Amazing the prices for entrance has been the same from almost the early 80's. Unbelievable, where every where else is crazy expensive. Good place to go dance & enjoy yourself or take the woman out & just have some fun.

Where do I start!? The party was amazing!!! I brought A LOT of people to the party, and we were not disappointed. After a great night of fun and dancing and great music, the outside was even better with all the Glizzy carts ready to feed my babe. Just like any other establishment that serves fine beverages, there's always those that have had a little too much to drink. Of course, there was that typical outside drama, but security was QUICK to put an end to the malarkey. There was a lot of drunkies with hurt feelings, but security did an amazing job handling the situation. I WILL FOR SURE BE GOING BACK!!!

Traveled from Chicago to see AURORA here back to back. Obviously, those were beautiful shows.

However, I was impressed by this venue. It such a a beautiful place and the staff are really good on reminding people in the crowd to keep the mask on. They also managed the sold out queues so well that it was easy and safe to get into the venue.

Went to see a AURORA w SHAED concert here. The format was general admission, with the lower level floor and bar area standing room only. The upper levels had seating. Beautiful venue! Makes you feel like you've been transported to a Mayan temple in Central America!

The Mayan is a no fail entertainment venue in the DTLA area. They host many events that cater to dancing, concerts, and the like. But the reason I go is to see Lucha VaVoom, which is a lucha libre styled caucus of mayhem that only occurs four times in the year: Valentine's, Cinco de Mayo, Summer, and Halloween. It's definitely worth the price of admission!

Wonderful venue perfectly suited to host events at. There is a lower level with rooms for performers to relax / change. Several different bar locations tucked away from the crowds make serving drinks quick and easy for customers to get.

Visited the Mayan to enjoy the presentation of Lucha Va Voom! Such an incredibly classy/rauncy/hilarious show. This venue is so gorgeous on the inside and very well themed. I only wish I took more photos. The layout is great for the show down below amd seating on the tiered steps is comfortable. There are several bars throughout the venue, so it is convenient to get a drink wherever you are. Drinks are a bit pricey ($15 Jameson/ginger). Metal detectors and security upon entrance for safety. We were granted access to the club following the show, but left. We even saw Joseph Sikora who was there to enjoy the show!

3 floors of excitement and the ratio of women out number the men so without a doubt U the person whose looking at this Review u should definitely be here having a hell of time without hesitation etc....

I can't say enough good things about the Mayan. The facade as well as the interior are mesmerizing. The people who work here are laid-back friendly and informative. There are multiple bars and bathrooms, and while VIP tickets have their benefits ie private bar, closer seats you won't find yourself cursing the Gods if you bought a general admission ticket.

I saw the legend Arthur Verocai perform his beautiful, self-titled album there, and the atmosphere was great. I need to go on a typical club night to really assess the vibe but my experience was great.

Updates another year later: music was really good surprisingly it was recent music. This place has died down a lot. They dont even open the basement anymore LOL. Def dead on friday. Was cool to hav dance floor to myself but gets old quick too. 15 to get in at 930pm. I give up on the west coast yall LA hollyweird boring ego af lol. And the men all have sticks in their culo simpletons lol. Fun fact: there r more men on the west coast then wombmen vs the east coast. Either way america dried up lol. I rate 3.877. Dancing areas are getting smaller & smaller lmao. Same dj since 2016. Bro played the weeknd lfg.

Update 3 yrs later: ok this place was lit. Everyone was dancing and engaged. Humans were chillin. Music was actually decent but it started getting lame around 12. Played some newer top40 doja cat but still a lot of the same ol rotation. I rate a 4.475 Havent been here since like 2019. Wasnt too crowded. Came at 1015 and paid $20. Still the same dj. Saw one guy couldnt get in bc he didnt have a collard shirt. The seat area was closed. Part of the main floor is now a payed table area. They should really try something new with the music and stuff, could be better. I was danced out and the music was getting weak so I left at like 1235. Its worth it though. I also saw people wearing whatever as well, they probably payed extra money is my guess. Age is mixed which i love. This place is pretty mature though. Club was very weak in the beginning. Towards 11 it picked up.

Old review: I rate a 3.7. Its 3 floors. Went on a saturday. Its like $10 before 1030. For the basement hiphop floor its the Same dj and 90% the same rotation every Saturday for the past two yrs haha. website is informal and easy to navigate. The main floor is usually all kinds of spanish and some mostly edm a hint of techno and house maybe. The other floor is usually reggaeton bachata spanish rock banda merengue etc... crowd is mixed and 21+. Church clothes! Coat check available. Plenty of seats and stairs haha.

Fyi: Club picks up the usual LA time, 11ish. My take on LA clubs: they are hit or miss, Takes a while for people to loosen up, Crowd is usually stiff, People start leaving and gets jaded around 2am. Haha. And the music is always okay. Never consistent with top hits back to back. Im from ny so my standards are different. Where are the top40popmusic party spots though.

I was here for the special Halloween Lucha VaVoom. Very entertaining and perfect for this venue . Lots of bars and great views.

Very fun time at the Mayan! Good vibes and good drinks!

We had a great time Latin dancing Saturday night. Be advised that the party doesn’t really start until after 11 PM…
Also, bring your own group! Noticed several guys get shutdown by ladies there to dance with their girlfriends, so maybe bring a date as well. Lots of couples and groups, not really a singles scene.

Also, if you do the online RSVP and show up before a certain time it’s half the price! Probably because the party doesn’t start until 11 lol.

Beautiful theater! Never knew it was here, just happened to park near it.

Always an incredible time at, The Mayan. We attend at least two events there every year. This year we felt the need to thank their incredible staff for going above and beyond to help us out. We had forgotten our earplugs and were considering leaving. (We are musicians who value our hearing) The management / security staff were kind enough to provide us a few pairs from their own stash and saved the night. We stayed until the wee hours of the morning and couldn't be more grateful. Can't wait to dance the night away again at this dope location.

I went here for the Aurora concert, and let me just say, the sound in this building was.... PHENOMENAL! You could hear everything so clearly, and it wasn't too loud or too quiet. The seemed friendly, and of course the building itself was pretty darn cool.

Always my go to dance location

Really cool place. Been here a few times and it never disappoints! There are three levels the main floor is salsa and merengue, the upstairs is house, and the basement is hip hop not that lame hip hop you here on the radio but the old school you can dance to and some you know drake and other newer hip hop. It does get a little crowded but it is a night club, what do you expect!? The drinks aren't priced too bad and they're usually pretty strong. There is a mix in the crowd in age but they're there for a good time. Definitely a cool place to have a good night out.
