Permanent Records Roadhouse

Originally located in Eagle Rock, then in Highland Park and Echo Park, Permanent’s current space is known for live music shows nearly as much as vinyl shopping. The front “roadhouse” bar and store took over the venue formerly known as Cafe Nela, and it showcases an array of local music and sing-along gigs, including a regular residency of sorts from comedic actor and musician Fred Armisen. A plethora of limited editions, obscure releases and hot new titles can still be found in the bar and the separate store in a converted garage in the back of the property, along with a carefully curated vintage collection. They also have a great taco stand on select show nights.
