Music fans love the intimacy, yet never feel too crowded at Lincoln Hall. Patrons can actually see and hear the band because of excellent acoustics and sightlines from the main level as well as upstairs. In addition to notable performers and a variety of talent booked at Lincoln Hall, drinks (which include a good draft list) are reasonably priced and you should be able to score parking nearby. The venue is also near the Fullerton Red/Purple/Brown elevated train station making public transportation a snap. Nearby restaurants (some of which are BYOB) make it easy to get good grub before you head to the show, although there is an on-site restaurant offering sandwiches and bar snacks. Tickets can sell out quickly so be sure to order online before arriving so you're not disappointed.

- Best for Live Music Because: With good views from the main floor and even better acoustics, Lincoln Hall is a sweet, intimate music venue.
