About Gin Ling Way

Gin Ling Way is an open-air, pedestrian plaza in downtown Los Angeles that hosts pop-ups, small venues, and varied performances. Located at 425 Gin Ling Way (East end near Broadway and Hill), this plaza has a storied history with the Hong Kong Café, a landmark in LA’s punk scene from 1979 to 1981. Today, Gin Ling Way brings intimate, community-driven events to a walking-friendly space with a seasonal roster of artists and experiences. Whether you’re catching a Bedouin show or a local pop-up, secure your seats and plan ahead with practical details below.

Practical planning: there is no fixed seating at Gin Ling Way since it’s an outdoor street venue. Expect standing room with crowd sizes ranging from a few hundred to occasionally 500–1,000 attendees for larger events. Transit options include multiple bus lines (45, 76, 81, 90, 94) and the LADOT DASH Chinatown route. The nearest Metro access is Chinatown Station. Parking is limited; consider BC Plaza Parking on Broadway or Ocean Seafood Lot on Hill. For a comfortable stay nearby, check out Hotel Indigo Los Angeles Downtown and Ace Hotel Downtown Los Angeles, both within walking distance.
