    Sol Agave

    Grab a quick bite at Sol Agave. It is a Mexican restaurant just three minutes from the theater. It is open until 22:00 on weekdays, so you can eat comfortably before heading out.

    Grand Hope Park

    Walk ten minutes east to Grand Hope Park. This is the green space right next to the Peacock Theater. It is a good spot to stretch your legs and get a feel for the area before the main event.

    Peacock Theater

    Arrive at the Peacock Theater. It is located between Figueroa and Georgia. Find a spot near the entrance or on the adjacent plaza. The theater was built in 2007 and is the premier venue for rock concerts and awards shows. As the sun sets toward the WSW around 17:06, the light will hit the building’s facade.

    Virtu Coffee

    End your evening with a coffee or drink at Virtu Coffee. It is only six minutes away from the theater and open until 18:00 on weekdays, allowing you to stay right after sunset while it is still light enough to enjoy the view.
