During the 1990s, The Palace continued to be at the forefront of the evolving American rock scene. Notable artists like Nirvana, Smashing Pumpkins, Soundgarden, Nine Inch Nails, and The Beastie Boys performed at the venue, cementing it as a premier musical destination. During this time, The Palace also began to host a DJ night featuring the legendary Frankie Knuckles and Goldie.

In 2002, after thorough restorations and upgrades of The Palace by its current owner John Lyons, this historic venue was relaunched as AVALON Hollywood and the adjacent Spider Club. With its performance stage intact and buttressed by new sound and light systems, AVALON rapidly became the must attend live entertainment venue in Los Angeles, hosting concerts, performances and events several times a week. AVALON also became a magnet for the burgeoning dance music scene on the West Coast with performances by a who’s who of world renown music icons.

In 2008, BARDOT was launched and instantly became the defacto spot for major artists wanting to play in an intimate room. House favorite Bruno Mars set the tone for the room that still resonates today. The BARDOT Sessions series followed by School Night have featured a plethora of major acts that have regularly delighted unsuspecting fans with their pop-up shows.

2016 saw AVALON undergo a major facelift restoring the venue to its original splendor as well as upgrading to state-of-the-art sound, lighting and visuals.

Today AVALON continues to evolve as the city’s most venerable institution with many memorable moments yet to come.
