Our story

Built beneath history.

Before it was a club, it was the furnace room that powered the 1920s Bank of America headquarters.

The Catwalk sits in the lower level of a historic Downtown LA building, in what was once the boiler room of the 1920s Bank of America headquarters.

EMC Group (EMC Hospitality) renovated it into a one-of-a-kind venue inspired by Berghain in Berlin: industrial, underground and steel, built around a centerpiece catwalk that runs between platforms and turns the room into a multi-level stage.

Since then it has become a regular in the music-video and video-game world and a go-to room for international brands' private events, alongside club nights from LA promoters.
