About The Joint Los Angeles

Welcome to The Joint Los Angeles, an intimate live-music venue once known for its close-up performances and vibrant nights on Pico Boulevard. With a compact, audience-centric layout and a small stage, the space offered an up-close concert experience for roughly 90 guests. Today, the venue operates as Founders Ale House at the same address, continuing the tradition of a cozy, beer-forward space for fans and artists alike. Whether you’re planning a night out or securing a special performance, we’ve got you covered with practical details to help you enjoy the scene without the fuss.

Location matters when you’re chasing a memorable show. The Joint’s address is 8771 W Pico Blvd, Los Angeles, CA 90035, placing it in a convenient West Los Angeles corridor with easy access via transit and plentiful parking. The venue’s intimate footprint made it a favorite for fans who want to be near the stage and share the moment with artists and fellow listeners.

Parking is noted as ample and free by attendees, making a night out straightforward. For those using public transit, Pico Boulevard hosts nearby bus routes including lines 7 and 105, with other local options stopping within a short walk.
