The theatre was originally designed by architect Meyer & Holler, the same firm responsible for the Grauman's Chinese Theatre.
It was renamed the Globe Theatre in 1937 after undergoing a major renovation.
The venue features an expansive 20,000 square feet of interior space across three levels.
The original design was focused on live stage plays before the venue transitioned to film and later a private events space.
The structure is designated as a contributing building within the Broadway Theater and Commercial District, a National Register of Historic Places site.
The Globe Theatre Los Angeles is a historic multi-level event venue located in the Broadway Theater District of Downtown Los Angeles. Originally opened in 1913 as the Morosco Theatre, the building features original ornate architectural details paired with modern event technology. The interior includes a large main floor, a mezzanine level, and a wrap-around balcony that overlooks the central dance floor. It currently operates primarily as a destination for nightlife, live music concerts, and electronic dance parties. The venue maintains its classic 1910s theatre aesthetic, including high ceilings and intricate molding, while functioning as a contemporary club. It is situated within the historic core, part of a dense cluster of renovated early 20th-century cinemas.

Operates primarily on a per-event basis; check the venue calendar for specific dates, as it is not open for walk-in visits.
