Silver Lake has two entrances: off Sunset, and down to basement level via the elevator; OR via the parking lot. 

Driving? We have limited free parking on site. Parking lot access is via the coded gate on Joseph F Farivar Drive, on the corner of Reservoir and N Occidental.

Outside of these hours and at weekends, you may park in any available spot.

Please note: We have limited valet parking Monday-Friday, 9:00-17:00.
- When you arrive, show your booking confirmation to access the lot. If the lot is full, you’ll still be able to unload your gear at the door.
- It's free of charge for Pirate customers and tipping isn't expected.
- If a session goes past 17:00, the valet will find your studio and drop off the car keys.

Outside of these hours and at weekends, you may park in any available spot.

Local buses include the 2, 4 and 704 at the Sunset/Silver Lake stop. You can also jump on these to get to our West Adams studio. For more details visit metro.net

There are easy links to the University of Southern California, only 22 minutes from Pirate's Silver Lake studios.

Our live booking calendar shows the latest availability of studios. You can book anywhere from a year in advance right up until a few minutes beforehand. Some studios are popular, so we recommend securing your slot in advance.

TIP: Book enough time to set-up and get comfortable with the gear, and set-up/pack-down anything you’ve brought along. 

Apprenticeship training should be delivered during the apprentices’ working hours. All apprentices must be allocated 20% of their paid working hours for “off-the-job training”.That can be spread in any way across your working week and does not need to be taken as a solid chunk. It will likely vary week to week according to the specific course you are on and what is being delivered and its method of delivery each week. 

Please see the “Delivery method” section of each cohort to get a better idea of how much

Slow and gentle!  Our locks can be a little sensitive so put your code in slowly and as detailed on your booking — such as * 1 2 3 4 5 6. Don't forget the star!

You might be sent a four-digit code as a replacement for the booking, such as 1 2 3 4.  As above, press slowly and in this case, with no star, *.

If you're having trouble with the lock or code, use # to reset and try again. If this doesn't work, please contact us via WhatsApp and we'll help get you in as soon as possible.

Spares in every location. We carry lots of spares on our sites in case you need any further equipment or something has a fault. You'll also find lots of spare cables and mics in our rehearsal studios if needed.

Is something missing from the room or do you need an item from the Spares cupboard? Hit us up on Live Chat via the website, on WhatsApp or give us a call on +1 844-274-7283. We will be more than happy to help.
