Chain Reaction

1652 W. Lincoln Ave.
Anaheim, CA 92801
714-635-6067
Website
Remember when you were 17 and all you wanted to do was to be able to see your favorite band that never played any all-ages venue? EVER? Well the Chain Reaction solves all that. This is like the introductory venue for every band that passes through Orange County--everyone's played the Chain at some point in their careers. It's a small, slightly dingy venue located in a strange Anaheim shopping center surrounded by car dealerships. The floors are sticky, the stage is small, and dusty T-shirts of bands that have played the venue grace the walls. But whoever said rock and roll was clean? It's a no-fuss venue. Covers are cheap, bands frequent. Everyone wins.

The Inside Word on Chain Reaction

    Chain Reaction was great when I was in High School, now I just feel like the oldest person in the room. You can see great bands here for cheap. I love this venue because though it's full of underage kids, they are usually super excited to see all of the bands on the bill, including the openers. Keep up to date with their website and you can sometimes catch big bands stopping by this small venue. I usually avoid this venue during the summer because once it's packed, there is little ventilation and it gets HOT... But for the price, it's still usually worth it.

    This has to be one of the best venues I have been to. Yes it is small and gets super packed and hot when there is a sold out show but it is such a small venue that it dosent matter. You are right up close with your favorite artist.
