The Belasco Theater has been a part of downtown L.A.'s landscape since the 1920s, an intricately designed structure that has been everything from a burlesque house to a church in its storied history. Nowadays, after a $12 million renovation, the Belasco is a nightlife venue that offers up a range of experiences, from the Main Theater, the Ballroom and the Basement Lounge, to eateries including Cafe Belasco, Grill Fresco and Vintage 10 Fifty. DJs get the dancing going on weekends and there are special shows going on constantly at this lively venue that is a quick ride from the Memorial Coliseum.
