The Regent Theater began its life in downtown Los Angeles in 1914, showing the first moving pictures ever made. But by the 21st century, it was in disrepair; that is, until music promoter Mitchell Frank and his partners took over the lease and reopened in the fall of 2014. Now the Regent Theater is a standing-room-only venue for the hottest indy bands around, putting on shows that regularly sell out. Plus, the venue features two hot new spots for eating and drinking. Prufrock Pizzeria offers Neapolitan-style pizza pies cooked in a 900-degree wood oven with toppings ranging from Burrata and tomatoes to Italian salumi and fennel. They even offer a gluten-free crust pizza made with a cauliflower crust. Nearby is the Lovesong Bar, open before, during and after the shows and featuring plenty of craft cocktails.
