The Glass House (Pomona, CA) Concert Venue

The Glass House is an intimate music venue twenty miles outside of LA in Pomona, CA. The venue is famous for hosting well-known indie, rock and punk acts and has attracted many top-tier alternative acts throughout the 90s and 2000s.

Housed in what used to be a Thrifty Drug store, The Glass House opened in downtown Pomona in 1996, with a two-night debut show by No Doubt. World-famous rock acts at The Glass House have included The Pixies, The White Stripes, and a variety of low-key alternative acts like Low and Modest Mouse.

Pomona’s downtown music club serves as a popular venue for both local LA bands and established club acts, which enjoy performing in front of the Glass House’s token friendly audience. With a capacity of 800, the venue is large enough to draw the big names but intimate enough to give the performance a personal and cozy feel. Performers at the venue often stop at the record store across the street to sign their newest releases on the shelves, to the delight of their LA-based fans.

Unlike many of the downtown LA venues, The Glass House welcomes all ages and tends to draw a lineup of bands that appeal to a variety of age groups. And with ticket prices between $12 and $20, it comes as no surprise that the venue is popular among younger fans.
