"Volunteer-run art & music space with a DIY ethic & all-ages shows with experimental punk bands."

The Smell is a Los Angeles all-ages art and music space operating on a volunteer-run, not-for-profit, DIY model since 1998. The venue hosts experimental and independent music shows at $5-$15 admission, maintains an alcohol-free policy, and includes a vegan snack bar, art on the walls, and a zine collection. Open since 1998 with more than 25 years in downtown Los Angeles, including a 360-degree virtual reality tour released in 2017 directed by Gil Kenan and Vice Cooler in collaboration with Butcher Bird Studios. Located at 247 S. Main St., Los Angeles, CA 90012. Visitors describe the venue as a long-running LA culture staple with a grungy, underground charm, friendly volunteer staff, and an atmosphere built around supporting artists; some note the space can get hot, the entrance is in the rear with no signage, and parking in the area is limited.

This vendor hasn’t completed verification

Verified vendors have uploaded credentials such as a business license or proof of insurance, and our team reviewed each document by hand. Verification is a trust signal, not a requirement: you can still reach out, and payments run through Stripe either way.

The Smell hasn't claimed their United Vows profile yet, but you can still reach them.

We don't have an email address on file for The Smell, so we can't forward an inquiry to them. You can still send one here — we'll keep it on your inquiries list, and it will be waiting for them the moment they claim this profile — but nothing reaches them until they do.

Two things worth knowing before you transact:

If your booking happens on United Vows: A $100 United Vows welcome or favor credit, if you hold one — this credit comes off one booking here, in full, funded from our commission on it, once that booking is a booking of $2,900 or more, paid to them in a single payment of at least $1,500 — you get messaging, quotes and contracts in one place, your payment runs securely through Stripe against a signed contract, and if the vendor no-shows, cancels close to your date or delivers nothing you can file a claim from the booking, which they have seven days to answer.
If the booking happens off-platform: none of the above. Your credits don't redeem. We can't help if anything goes sideways.

The simplest move: when you reach out, ask The Smell to claim their profile. It's free and takes a few minutes. It keeps your booking on the platform where everything we built for you actually works.
