Hollywood American Legion Post 43

Bien

Without a doubt, hands down, some of the friendliest and most professional staff in Hollywood. The renovated theater itself is stunning, absolutely gorgeous. Great sound and picture. Comfortable seats. HOWEVER, one small caveat - the theater, especially in winter months and with limited seating due to covid, is really really cold. Be warned and just come dressed like you're tailgating at a winter football game and you'll be fine. Loved my experience there overall and I can't wait to go back! Honestly, every employee I came into contact with was absolutely delightful and very patient and helpful. It really makes all the difference.

I had an excellent experience at the American Legion Post 43. I was a groomsman in a wedding that both the ceremony and the reception was taking place here. Full disclosure, I know there was some disappointment from the bride and groom as the area they booked was still under construction come wedding day and they were forced to have the ceremony in the parking lot. But I was not involved with that, so this review does not take that into consideration, as I don't know the details. This review is based on my personal experience (as it should be). This place is really a Hollywood hidden gem! I love old school bars, buildings and places that appear to be untouched by time, and this surely is that to the max! Everything from the reception hall to the bathrooms scream of the 1940s, but the crown jewel is the bar. That whole bar area is amazing! There is both a poker room and a pool room that the groomsmen had to get ready and have our own place to relax and it was very nice. One tip for them... there was no mirror in there, which was kind of inconvenient given the situation. I'd try to add that in the future for events like these. The ceremony, reception and cocktail hour were all fabulous. The sound system in the reception hall could use an update. The staff (not sure who worked for the American Legion and who was hired by the wedding party) were all wonderful. I know it might be difficult to get in here, but if you're into LA history and seeing old awesome places... definitely do what you can to get in here even just to see it and take a few pictures.

Oh hell yes! Now this is the American Legion! Wonderful Post 43 is well equipped and ready to rock. Preparing for it's 100th anniversary in 2020 this venue and Post looks strong. Attended the KLOS event with a killer lineup including Jon, Frazier, Jeff Ross, Bob Saget and Bill Burr. Saget absolutely slayed it, the man can sing! Hope to come back here often and see more great acts. Very comfy main theatre and a kickin bar downstairs in the bunker. History abounds in this place and I recommend everyone go check it out! Great job Post 43! Keep kicking tail!

Amazing facility with incredible history

The way they've done the drive in is pretty great. Small and intimate. While being far apart from other cars.

I wanted to say thank you to the Hollywood American Legion Post 43 for their donation of food to our Station during the Palisades Fire. Your generosity was very much appreciated by our Firefighters. Thank you!!!

Loved it. Joining. Great place for veterans!
