Sid the Cat Auditorium for your next concert

You may have heard of Sid the Cat as a promoter and curator of worthwhile music events. Now you should know them as your new concert venue in LA (okay, technically South Pasadena). I love its small size, although not too small that you can’t breathe, and the fact that you’re listening to live music in a refurbished gym. They also have a cool bar on site. It doesn’t hurt that it’s on a cute strip where you can easily grab a bite or meander pre or post show.
