Always a great venue! The acoustics are fantastic and the seating is comfortable for a music event. Weve been to many types of shows here and I always enjoy my experience.Its very easy to get in and out and the parking is only $10 unlike the Fox which will severely gouge you with parking rates.Recently saw George Clinton on his final tour. He was a bit slow on his music tempo, but it was good to see a legend on his final stop to Atlanta.

We saw Porgy and Bess here and it was a great experience. I advice getting here at least 30 minutes to an hour early to find a good parking spot. We got there 30 minutes before rhe show and lucked and found a spot close to the entrance. Parking was $10 which i think wasnt too bad. They scanned my tickets on my phone and we went through the security check less than 3 minutes. The inside is very elegant with nice, soft carpet, big chandeliers, and nice big windows with a nice view of the city. The staff was cordial and very helpful. The usher knew exactly where our seats were which helped us a lot being it was our first time going there. The restrooms were nice and clean and fully stocked with plenty of room and facilities. I do not drink but they did have cocktails. People werent allowed to bring their drinks in the hall, but they did have cocktail tables in the for. This was a very nice elegant experience with my wife, we plan to come back very soon.

Charlie Wilson put on a great show!!!!! I definitely recommend going to see him if you never have. His back up dancers were great also.

This is a great place for performing arts and stand up comedies. The stage and sitting arrangements are incredibly well and you get to witness some marvelous performances with comfortable chairs and clear sound system. The Cobb energy is located primarily in Atlanta and it has got beautiful infrastructure. It has many gates and ample parking space. One outlet for snacks and drinks. Seating arrangements are in different levels. Entry is only through buying tickets.

This was disappointing I went on a school field trip and the place looked pleasing but we had to eat there food which was more expensive then airport food without anything except candy which was about 4$ for one pack of m&ms a bottle of water was 4$ the actors where decent and the base of the story was good-for how many people they needed more bathrooms inner missions are to short especially if you want to go to the bathroom and get a quick snack and even if you did get a snack you would not have time to eat it. And they say you can’t bring snacks in the theater I might come back but not for the expensive tickets and I would not be able to bring my own snacks because they check your bag the show was to long it was interesting but not for me to sit in a seat for 3 hours I’m quite disappointed I have school tomorrow and now I won’t get home till 12:00 pm so my mom has to get me something to eat and wanted to talked to my teachers because we where promised a dinner at the mall and only got 15 minutes to eat at the place

I must say that this theater is BEAUTIFUL and I thoroughly enjoyed watching my eldest son walk across this stage. We had great seats (which were very comfortable) and the temperature in the building was perfect. Especially since we were outside waiting for an hour and a half for them to open the doors. (That’s the only thing I didn’t like) overall I would love to come back to the Cobb Energy Performing Arts Center to see other shows in the near future.

I gave a 5 star a year earlier, was visiting yesterday for a performance, parked my car at multi level parking attached to the auditorium and someone stolen my car wheel cap. so beware of any valuables in your car.

A Christmas Carol was amazing! The theater is state of the art. It’s very busy but it’s orderly. Everyone was nice. I’ve been here a few times and never had an issue. They have snacks and a bar if you want an alcoholic drink or regular drink before during or after the performance!

First time visitor. Went to see the awesome stage play Black Nativity!! Very nice venue, clean restrooms. Staff I encountered was very nice and helpful. I believe every seat is a good seat. Not sure about parking because I went with a group on bus, but we were drop off and picked up at the front of the venue. I would recommend.

My experience was not the best. First we get there and have to eat and they have NO real food all they have is candy and junk food. We also do not have enough money to even buy a bottle of water that was $8.00 just for one bottle of water... Second of all the intermission was only 10 minutes long and I had to scarf down my drink because they dont allow any food or drinks in the auditorium so I had to throw away my $ 5.00 wroth of coke and go watch the rest of the show . The show on the other hand was great but they definitely need to get lower prices of food and drinks... Just a preference..

La Cenerentola was AMAZING! There was a translation screen up for those who may not speak the language that each Opera is in. The the ushers and all staff were very friendly and helpful. The theatre was comfortable and clean. I loved my experience. They have snacks and drinks for sale before the show and during intermission.

This is a great venue to see a show. We have been numerous times sitting in different sections and the view and sound are very good. Its also a beautiful building with nice decor and fairly large, clean bathrooms. My reason for only giving 3 stars is the outrageous prices patrons are expected to pay for a beer, or a very small glass of wine or a tiny pour of hard liquor. I understand this is not a drinking establishment but people spend a lot of money on tickets and should have a reasonable expectation to pay at least normal bar/pub prices for adult beverages and get a decent size glass of wine or a better pour of whiskey than a regimented 1 oz for the ridiculous price they are asking. Not everyone drives a Rolls Royce to the Cobb Energy Center.

I loved my and my daughters experience here. $15 valet was worth the price. Saw a remarkable Atlanta Ballet performance, the stage was wide and spacious, lighting was breathtaking, no flaws. Seats were marked well and easy to find. There is no food allowed in the theater, and they sold have signs at the bar saying this because some friends bought food during intermission and couldnt get back in to see the show. Drinks are allowed in the show. Theres a bar with reasonably priced alcoholic beverages. Security is EVERYWHERE which is a bit unsettling. Metal detectors at the door are mandatory in this day and age, and they also search bags. Strict policy about no outside food or drinks, wouldnt let me keep my 5-year-olds juice box.

I went to See King Crimson with my dad and my uncle. The band was celebrating their 50th anniversary so I figured Id bring some people who were there when they first came onto the scene. It played all my favorites from their catalog including 21st century schizoid man, epitaph and In the court of the Crimson King. I got me a box set, a discipline ring and a commemorative t-shirt.Last time I went to the Cobb galleria performing arts center was when I was at the thespian conference about 8 years ago so I threw me for a loop when I showed up here to see a favorite band of mine. It was a killer show that I will remember for years to come.

I attend functions quite regularly at this facility. Not a bad seat in the house . Front door security has become a bit intrusive and no water bottles are allowed. Parking is still reasonably priced. Acoustics are good; seats are comfortable. Enjoy the performance!

Great venue! Well designed with the audience in mind. There isnt a bad seat in the house, multiple exits out of the parking deck so there isnt a log jam when concerts are over, and there is an extended covering so you can get to the parking deck without getting wet when its raining. Clean and comfortable, I have enjoyed every event there.

It’s a shame for me to be giving a bad review with all good reviews but I’m quit disappointed the costumer services was disturbing I saw someone pick there nose and touch seats the person selling food had a terrible attitude I would like to see better workers I’m not trying to be a hater but bad reviews are for the better growth in a business. I wish my experience was similar to all the other good reviews which I did read. Going back to my experience, the show was just kinda low the actors where tumbling around and you heard a lot of wrong notes from the people playing instruments I wish I could say good things but I honestly can’t so I just must say I won’t go back again although it is a beautiful theater I still must give it one star for the rest

A breath of fresh air compared to the Fox. The seats are comfortable and spaced out well, beautiful venue, and great acoustics. I could see well from the mezzanine and it didn’t look like there was a bad seat in the house. Ample reasonable parking and refreshment options made an amazing concert even better.

Took my son to see Sesame Street Live. This was my first time seeing a show at the Cobb Energy Centre. It is a beautiful venue with a similar setup to the Atlanta Fox Theatre. We sat pretty close to the top of the stage. Even that high up we had an excellent view of the stage. My son didn’t have any issue seeing his favorite characters.

So, we went to see Rickey Smiley at Cobb Energy . The parking and flow of traffic was well organized. It did not take long to enter the building. The venue was very well organized with ushers in place to direct you to your seat. The comedy show was HILARIOUS!!!! It was non stop laughing!!! I would recommend this venue and I would definitely recommend going to see Rickey Smiley and friends next year.

We went here for the Post Modern Jukebox concert. Our seats were in the Mezzanine level and were very good. In fact, I dont think there is a bad seat in the house. Acoustics are good, seats are comfortable, and the flow of people into and out of the venue is smooth. Ive attached the view from our seats.If you plan on having a drink, make sure to do so prior to arriving at the event. 2 vodka/cranberries and 1 Buffalo Trace on the rocks set me back $50 prior to tipping out.

Review №39

The orchestra level is great with no bad seats. However, on a previous visit we had seats in the top tier and it was a long long way to the stage. Should have brought heavy duty binoculars. And the price at that altitude was to high for the value in my opinion.

Its always a great experience at this beautiful, state-of-the-art facility. The staff and volunteers are very welcoming, seats are comfortable and acoustics are fine. Concessions are typically pricey. And after the show, prepare to be patient as everyone tries to exit the parking garage, where the fee is now $10.

I attended a concert. This location is not too large; therefore, no matter where you sit you will have a great view. The ushers were very friendly and helpful. The only con it is not very handicapped accessible. If you are in a wheelchair, I dont know where you would sit. Luckily I am able to walk short distance to get to my sit. They do not have an adequate area for your assistive device. I would return; however, I would need a companion with me for assistance.

LETISI was phenomenal, however some of the staff hired to help with the events have a issue with blacks or at least I felt that way. When I arrived st the door none wanted to scan my tickets for the meet and greet show that was purchased and paid for. They turned me around and I had to go back thru my emails for the front door people to let me in and when I had done that they had another lady who was of mixed race take care of me. She scanned my ticket and everything popped up. I will choose other venue spaces to attend concerts. COBB ENERGY NEEDS NEW ENERGY!!!

The Cobb Energy Center is always magnificent, unless you are seated in front of a woman who put on a an entire bottle of perfume before she got to the theater!

Saw King Crimson here. Its located directly across the street from where we stayed, which was very nice. The architecture of the building was beautiful, inside and out. The crowd was large but not too rowdy. We sat in the Center Grand Tier and it was an amazing view. The show was truly indescribable. The seats werent too bad. We didnt try the concessions because the lines were insane. They allowed us to bring water in which was very cool! Overall great venue.

First time visiting the facility was seeing Shen Yun this year. Great performance, and I advise anyone to take a chance on watching this great company put on a show.As far as the facility itself, the views seem to be great from everywhere, but thats just my extrapolation based on where we sat. It holds a pretty good crowd, but can still be considered cozy. Nice atmosphere, nice staff, smooth entry process. Definitely will see something else there, given the opportunity.

Review №85

Nice venue, comfortable and good sound. But got very frustrated with ushers as they told multiple families to just sit in the wrong seats. Instead of making ticket-buyers sit in the seats they paid for, the ushers just moved people around saying it must have been oversold. That was pure laziness. Other than having to fight for a place to sit it was a good experience.

Went to see Shen Yun dancing was so nice. It was inspirational, learning experience, peaceful, calming, beautiful, Theatrical, Funny, ALL IN 1 SHOW. Step out your box & enjoy. I would go again, maybe next yr. I believe they come once a year about this time. 1st time at Cobb Energy Performing Arts, nice spot & size, not to big. I believe just about any seat you pick is a good 1. I just dont like to be too close but I had a good seat. There is no pictures or videoing allowed. MUST SEE SHOW!! Lovelife

Great venue, good acoustics, well trained staff helps you to your seats and stops people from coming in during performances, which truly helps make the experience better for everyone. They have a parking garage nearly attached to the building and despite having a full house, it was still pretty easy to get in and out. The only downside is the bathrooms, especially for females. The lines were massive and you can tell that they were not designed for the building to be at capacity and have tons of people wanting to use them all at once (such as during an intermission). Otherwise everything was pretty excellent. The box office was also very outdated. They required me to pick up my ticket because it was lost in the mail instead of just letting me download it on my phone like any other place has done since before 2010. Food and drink options were limited to the point that I couldnt buy anything (no healthy options, only low quality drinks, etc) and way overpriced, especially given the low quality.

The show started on time and there were greeters at our entrance who pleasantlygave us brochures and assisted us with our seating location. I was pointed out by the host comedian and the lights immediately went up so that he could see me.
