With a recent remodel by The Madison Square Garden Company, the Fabulous Forum of Inglewood has become a premier destination for concerts and live shows.

Along with a redecorated interior, the exterior has been given new life with a fresh paint job and new dining options on the patio.  The highlight is a happy hour on the terrace that takes place just before evening shows.

Starting at 5 PM on the night before most evening shows, Happy Hour on the Terrace features discounted drinks along with concessions from LA icons like Loteria Grill, Pink’s Hot Dogs, and Boos Philly Cheesesteaks*.

Steak tacos from Loteria Grill include freshly made tortillas.

Along with rock start parking, lower prices on drinks is another benefit of getting to the venue early.  Depending on the special, cocktails and beers might be priced for around what you’d pay at a typical LA restaurant or bar instead of the slightly elevated stadium prices you know and love.

Most folks that enjoy an evening concert might also include dinner and drinks before heading to the show.  With Happy Hour on the Terrace, music fans can roll their pre-show party and the concert and one stop occasion…without missing the opening act!

Note that you must be a ticket holder to enter the Terrace for happy hour.  Because show times change, happy hour start time might vary; call before you head out to make sure you’re not getting there too early or too late.  For information on upcoming shows, check out the calendar at the Fabulous Forum website.
