Very fun place we had our company Christmas party here. I will say I didn't see any elevators and this place is segmented into floors like crazy.. you will have to climb lots of flights of stairs to get around. Bars are a few and intimate.

We saw our friend Jon perform here and it was fantastic. The sound was great and the bartenders were friendly. Clean theater with a huge bathroom downstairs.

Really enjoyed our experience here as it was our 1st time. The bar service was quick and efficient, the venue acoustics were amazing, and the bathrooms were clean. Staff members started scanning tickets and issuing wristbands prior to doors opening which was great and staff was very friendly! I would definitely come back to a show here. Parking was easily found in the garage behind the theatre on Washington street. It was $6 for us to park. There's plenty to walk to nearby. All in all a great experience!

Great venue for a concert! $6 parking next door. Yes, that's right, $6 parking, in a garage, for $6. There are bars on every level so it's easy to get a drink. It's all general admission, but there are stools in the balcony, but not many so head there if you want a seat. It's a great, small, historic venue with great open views to easily see the artist. Highly recommended!

One of the very best music venues!
The rooftop is a huge bonus with video and audio streaming from the stage downstairs, fresh air, great views, a full bar and your favorite game on the teleHelpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - 186527108Jul 31, 2022
This venue is all you think it will be. LOTS of space, multiple angles, multiple bars, reasonable parking. Cannot wait to come back

Great venue with reasonable prices for shows in Athens. Seating is available for those who arrive early I mean like bar stools in the upper levels. Bathroom is located in basement and on the roof level has a smaller one to use if you are seated on balcony. Place smelled like a dam grape flintstone vitamin with all those vapers puff on that shit which kinda sucked. Local beers were available and food looked pretty good. So great time minus the grape smell that's got to go away sooner than later.

We came here for the rooftop bar. It was pretty cool and nice view of downtown. At the front door they used an app to verify IDs before you are let up on the elevator. Happy hour seemed good and there was a lot of seating.

I've been here in the past for concerts (they were awesome) but most recently for a wedding
Parking - It's DT Athens. You'll find a parking meter or park in the deck that's like .5 miles away. It's not really painful to walk that far since the deck is very close to DT in general.
There's a roof top bar! It's awesome and quaint. It is kind of small but Athens isn't like Atlanta so the spacing isn't bad.
My friends got married on stage and they had all types of wedding stuff around them. It was so cute. The usual standing area at first had several rows of chairs for the Bride and Groom's friends. After the I Do, we all dispersed upstairs to hang out while the staff put up the chairs and put in the usual reception tables/chairs and the food.
The bar area near the front is awesome. Everyone had drinks and etc. The front area isn't like squished. It's fairly spacious.
Overall, the at the atmosphere was amazing. Oh the outside top where the theatre usually has whoever they're playing that night had their names and wedding date. So nice! Everyone passing the theater by could see the lit up words. Very nice touch.Helpful 2Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0
