Townhouse Venice is a historic venue located in the Venice neighborhood of Los Angeles. Originally built in 1921 as a bungalow court, it was later transformed into a recording studio in the 1970s, becoming a notable space for musicians during the rise of West Coast rock and roll. Artists such as Tom Waits and Ry Cooder reportedly recorded there during this period. In more recent years, the property transitioned to function primarily as an event space hosting intimate concerts and private functions. The building retains much of its original architectural character, offering a unique atmosphere for live performances. It's known for its relatively small capacity fostering close artist-audience interactions.
