Beverly Center

but not really a nice place to shop. I liked to hang around here when I was younger with friends, but now that I'm working and need to pay for my own things (boo hoo), I think it's time for me to find better malls that are actually for shopping and not sightseeing. I usually find myself people watching more than anything at Beverly Center. more

Touristy, Macy's on the bottom floor is annoying. Not a terrible mall, but just not the best for LA, I seem to find more stuff at dept. stores in other malls in the area. more

lots of stores to choose from! fun place to shop with friends and family. Pros: lots of stores Cons: parking structure more

I am a native of LA and this is my least favorite place to go to. They recently "upgraded" parking with automated tickets and no attendants make things worse. I recommend: The Westside Pavillion (off Pico & Westwood)~beautiful atmosphere, elegant, great stores OR, if you want to be outdoors: Century City Mall or THE GROVE in Los Angeles. CC mall is huge and you can easily get lost if you are new. The Grove is by far many local's favorite with great restaurants, easy parking and a great atmosphere! Also, there are plenty of children's stores, a lawn where kids love to dance & play (they often have musicians perform) and fantastic restaurants. Hope this helps! : ) Pros: Close to home, usually can find what you need, convenient Cons: Parking is a pain, no atmosphere, nothing outdoors more

HORRIBLE, CONFUSING PARKING. You can only park on certain floors and the elevators do not access all of the floors ... you have to go to certain elevators to access certain floors. It's is a horrible, horrible mess. I have shopped there three times now and have hated it every time. I will NOT be going back and can NOT recommend this to anyone. The shops are pedestrian, there are NO children's stores, no toys any where, no play areas and the food court ... the food HORRIBLE. Even the Panda Express had hard, over-cooked entrees with under-cooked veggies ... the sodas were flat and little syrup. I threw that meal away and went to another vendor and the food was worse. I pitched those two meals and headed for Starbucks. Even the Starbucks was a 4 on a scale of 1 - 10, with the line long, the staff curt, my order wrong. The stores are beyond average, NOTHING special. The facility was nothing special, drawn out, 3 or 4 floors of boring, uninspired stores with little to offer ... and nothing new and exciting. There were hard benches to sit on with no atmosphere anywhere. With a location like this, the mall could have been .... SHOULD HAVE BEEN fabulous. Instead ... it was a huge disappointment. What a grim excuse for a mall. Nothing to see, no where to go, nothing for families, terrible food (and a dirty food court in desperate need to cleaning and wiping down) and simply the worst parking in all of LA county. If you want a great shopping experience ... go to THE GROVE. NOW THAT is nice shopping! Pros: ABSOLTELY NONE, NOTHING, NADA, ZILTCH Cons: What a grim excuse for a mall. more

I was at the Beverly Center yesterday with a few friends. The stores are large and the place is spacious; so although it was crowded, it did not feel crowded. My friends wanted to go into the Louis Vuitton store; I don't care for the bland style (lacking versatility and creativity) but decided to engage their interest by keeping them company since they are likely to buy something. The store was crowded but it did not excuse the salesman's rude horrible energy; his job requires very little in order to be done correctly. He could not be professional enough to get into a case without being unprofessional, rushed, and obviously stressed. I enjoy art and quality but LV is the McDonalds or art and fashion. ..As if it is not bad enough that the store hardly contributes to the betterment of anything but materialism.. more

Beverly Center has a great location, bordering Beverly Hills and WeHo. Plus, it has a solid variety of stores, from cheaper clothing options like H&M to couture like D&G. Plenty of shoe, make-up and accessories shops are also present, along with a movie theater. However, I hate having to pay on average $2 for an hour and change or shopping. And since stores don?t begin until the fifth level, you?re forced up several flights of escalators or stuck waiting for the elevator (I?ve always have had to wait at least 5 minutes). Another downer: There?s not a lot of food options besides the food court itself. There?s only one sit-down restaurant that I know of at the mall. Pros: variety of stores, movie theater Cons: parking, lack of sit-down restaurants more

The Beverly Center mall in West Hollywood (or is it Beverly Hills) is a great mall. It's convenient (for this West Hollywood resident) and has the main stores I love, like Macy's and D&G. The food court, thankfully, is hidden way in back, way upstairs, cuz it's hideous. Otherwise, I like the Beverly Center quite a bit. Parking tip...go up to the 5th floor and pay attention to where the escalators are. You want to avoid the elevators at all costs! Pros: Godiva! Mmmmmm Cons: Food court (blah) more

Although this mall does an excellent job of mixing up big name stores with smaller boutiques, the atmosphere feels more like a museum than a place to shop and have fun, which is what fashion is really all about. The hugeness of the mall intimidated me and I just didn't want to touch anything for fear I would break something. more

Something for everyone....from H & M to Louis Vuitton. Easy parking and loved the sports bar.....a great place to relax while hauling shopping bags. This place has everything....for everybody. Pros: Variety of stores Cons: $$$ more

There is something for everyone here. From the ridiculously expensive to the more down-to-earth affordable places. The Macy's Men Store is seperated from the rest of Macy's...kind of cool if you want to get away from your girlfriend and pick something out for yourself for once! Uh, anyway...they have a really cool shoe store but I can't remember the name of it. The parking is easy and they have decent food there as well. Pretty good for a mall. Pros: Location, Variety, Parking more

The Center has tons of parking, is spacious, and has not only unique stores but the larger department stores here always carry the most merchanise than most other locations-new items and sale items. Great place for people watching--sometimes a celeb or two. The only mall that I don't go to in my work-out clothes--dress to impress. Also--they tend to have really cheap movies that have already been playing for awhile. I went on a Friday night and it was dead so we snuck into a couple of films and made a night of it. They sometimes play double features too. Pros: huge chain stores (forever 21--it has everything at this location), easy in-n-out parking thats also cheap, people watching more

I dread going to the Beverly Center - it's my least favorite mall on the West Side. The parking garage is a mess - and the inside of the mall is depressing - a relic of the 1970's which they've attempted to update with modern furniture - all together it makes for a pretty tacky interior. Oh, and the people in the mall - think of your typical LA stereotype poser. more

This is THE place to shop. I was so impressed by the size of the mall, we don't have malls that huge in Paris. Retail people are very friendly, always up to help you. So many good stores are there.Pretty view from the roof.Over packed in the elevator. Pros: good stores, a view from the roof Cons: , sometimes expensive more

The Bev Center is a great place to shop! No where else in the city has such a great selection of stores. Also, these are the flagship stores for a lot of their brands so they've got a better assortment than what they'll have at other malls. more

Why not go a nicer mall with fresher air and less noise? The Century City Mall or The Grove are both much much nicer. It all too often takes *forever* to get out of the parking in this place. Pros: Nice stores, Good location Cons: Bad air, it's inside!, Slow parking, Noisy more

I don't understand why everybody in LA goes here every saturday. For one thing the stores are really expensive, and its just a MAll for crying out loud! A mall should be a local hang out for teenagers and people shopping for gifts. Don't get me wrong I love the mall, but this one is absurd. The parking knocks it further down you WILL spend half your time in the parking lot guaranteed. So unless you can somehow be flown in, just forget it. Pros: swanky shops, lovely place, lots of variety Cons: PARKING is terrible, expensive, just a mall more

It's an alright enough mall. Most malls in the Los Angeles area have the exact same stores, and this one is no different. Century City's Bloomingdales is much better, has a better selection. This mall is annoying because it's not easy to get in or out of and the elevators get so crowded, but it has all the good stores you'd want to see at a mall. I think Santa Monica's 3rd Street Promenade and Santa Monica Place Mall are much cooler. Pros: typical stores, nice atmosphere Cons: crowded, hard to get into more

Plenty of shopping choices and a remodeled food court....not to mention a movie theater on the top floor. The Christmas decorations and sales are worth the insane lines for parking. A place where you can get take out, catch a new movie, buy almost anything and bump into celebrities. Two thumbs up. Pros: Huge Variety of store, good sales, plenty of parking Cons: crowded elevators, holiday parking lines more

This is the place to shop. The parking is convenient and easy. The location is in the heart of the West Hollywood/Beverly Hills area, so there is a lot going on around the mall. There are good restaurants located in and around the mall for when you get tired of shopping. And, most importantly, there al the major retail stores are represented here! more
