Perfect place for a more intimate experience with the artists and crowd. Food is insanely expensive but thats just how they make extra money. Best is to go to lunch or dinner right before this place. Bring a hat and shades, the seating is in the open sun.

The show was AWESOME. The venue was average at best. The tricked us into paying more for a table seat, which when we arrived, was the same seat as the rest, with a dirty, rickety folding table, blocking the aisle way... it was ridiculous, and likely a fire hazard. The food and drinks were horrifying. A $4 tiny bag of horribly stale popcorn, a $7 “jumbo” hot dog, which was a regular store bought 25 cent dog on a soggy bun. Absolute rip-off, but other bring in good shows.

First time visit. Awesome venue. I really enjoyed how it was setup and is definitely unique for the area. Not really a bad seat in the house and plenty of leg room.

Love this amphitheater at Chastain Park. Easy to get to and easy to get out. Parking runs $20-$30. Its also nice that for most shows you can bring your own food and beverage. Ive seen Alice Cooper and Adam Sandler there. The seats are a little tough, suggest bringing a seat pad. The lawn is has some stadium seating structure instead of the typical slanted lawns at most amphitheaters. Bring your blankets. Shows typically dont start on time as they open gates 1 hour before the show is scheduled, not leaving much time for people to get in, get concessions, bathroom, and visit the merchandise booth. While you can bring in food/drink most of the time, it might not be feasible on week night shows with people coming from work. One show started over 30 mins late and they were still trying to urge people to get in their seats because the place looked so empty to the artists performing. Food and drink prices are decent, comparable to most venues.

I always enjoy shows here, even though they seem to have to end before 11 PM. I get why, it is nestled in the apparent middle of several subdivisions and nice houses, so noise ordinances will be strict. Its a little tough to navigate the roads surrounding the area, so early arrival and late departure is suggested (or the patience to sit for a bit in traffic)

Love the atmosphere and concerts under the stars. No bad seats. Come with your favorite drinks and food depending on the performance. Cool place

Common along with the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra was fantastic . A beautiful night under the star . The music , sights and sounds were terrific . Looking forward to the next event .

Its still Chastain Park no matter the name change.Parking is not that good, but the Outdoor Theater experience its worth going for to see a concert here in Atlanta.We went to see Maxwell and Ambrosia and the concert was incredible. The weather however not so much as it was freezing cold. We managed by huddling together and focusing on enjoying a great experience.Overall its still a great place to see an outdoor concert. Just be prepared for a long walk

Great small venue. Fun and relaxed. No issues going in, no issues inside. Great show!

This is my second time to come to this venue. 10 months ago I saw the Revolution 3 Tour, with Stone Temple Pilots, Bush and The Cult. I really like the venue, with the exception of the restrooms by Gate 1. They are not air conditioned. Later, I found another set that are, but just a heads up. There was great sound and you feel really close to the performers. I even got to TOUCH one of the singers I came to see. Jeff Gutt of Stone Temple Pilots. He came out into the Audience and Gavin Rossdale did as well ! It was Amazing.

This is a cute lil venue/ amphitheater. It exudes a intimate feel and friendly setting. Although the merch line at this concert had one of the longest lines Ive seen. I would hope they place more booths for customers to purchase inventory with easier practical efficiency.

Very good venue. Very high prices for everything, though

A nice stadium for the summer time! My boyfriend and I went here for a Lindsay Sterling and Evanescence concert in August, and the acoustics for the stadium were not half bad. Seating was great with a lot of leg room and a nice patio/bar area behind the stage

Hands down my favorite venue in Georgia. It just has a great atmosphere and there are no bad seats in the House. Also, theres plenty of reasonably priced parking very close by.

Still great after all these years. Live Nation invested some $$ last year to upgrade bathrooms and concessions. only negative is the old tiny inadequate video screens remain. Center Orch seats remain the best in ATL. plenty of room and good sound. Ride share arrangements are. PITA. Best to walk a few blocks for your ride home. Be aware that all shows get shutdown at present times per city ordinance. Treat yourself to a show at Chastain Park Amphitheater!

One of my favorite venues. People are always laid back an easy going. Easy to get in an out.

Great place not for the handicap or the ones with knee or back issues its very hard to clone the stairs the concert of Chicago was great

Great venue...pretty much any seat in the house will have at least a decent view; sound is of high quality. Seats are not the most comfortable so recommend bringing some type of cushion that you can get for concerts/games or a blanket for padding (if you intend to sit for most of the show). Some shows allow you to bring outside food and drinks, definitely check beforehand as it is very much worth it! Free parking is available if you go all the way to the venue entrance!! There is a ton of paid parking further out that I think people see first and end up utilizing.

Great venue in a nice safe neighborhood but not much parking space and no free parking lot.

A concert under the Georgia night sky. what can be better? taking it Easy with Lionel Richie. Chastain is the perfect venue. bring a small table, a big honkin jar of sammich pickles and youre all set. someone brought enough pickles for everyone in the section. why?!? check their schedule for your favorite artist, bring a cuddle buddy and enjoy. pickles...really?

Fantastic venue where the sound is great every where. We went to a concert 3 years ago and now we try and go to 2 summers series shoes every year. Yacht Rock is a staple!!!

Smallish venue (big plus) and great vantage point from just about any seat. Bring a cooler and eats, hang out and enjoy some good music. What else could you ask for?

We went to see Charlie Wilson Friday night and had a great time! We will be back! Sound and lighting was great! Venue is nice and we got there about 45 min early to make sure we had a close parking spot for $25. Open cooler option is perfect, so you can bring your own wine and food! Hopefully we can catch Maxwells concert there this month!

There is no bad seat here in terms of sound. This time we had lawn tickets. The stage is far as you can see in thr photos but the sound was good.With some concerts you can take your cooler bit with others you cannot. So check before you go.I wish the restroom is more easily accessible from anywhere.Overall this is a smaller buy nice venue.

Lionel Richie concert with all I thought it should be. It was amazing

Great view, great song quality. Some concerts allows you to bring a cooler and food, which makes it an amazing experience.

I had fun while there but the seats were so close to one another it made me grateful the event wasnt sold out. Staff was friendly and helpful.

Great venue. Seat set up is fabulous. The Bush and Live show was killer. Ease to get around is ok. Bathrooms are maintained, but a little far from seats. Alcohol is pricey. So is the parking. You are basically parking at the schools and nearby parks for a $20 to $25 fee.We were really impressed with the young kids offering rides to the venue for tips on their golf carts. That was very helpful and such a great business idea.

Great venue. Cant wait to go to another concert here

All the years I lived in Atlanta and this was my first time at Chastian. It was nice and cozy with great seating. I didnt feel stuffed in since there is walking room between the aisles. Now getting out is a challenge. Follow the exact same path you used to get in. Police escort traffic in and out. I will definitely go back!

I’ve been here for Boyz II Men & En Vouge, and Charlie Wilson. Great venue!

I like the acoustics in this park and the staff is excellent. The seating is very tight for anybody that weighs over 100 lbs. I was too close to a lady I never met before on a warm July day. There was a few empty seats in front of us so we moved down for more room.You can bring water, food, wine and up to a pint of liquor. That is one of the best things about this venue.

Enjoyed the Isley brothers last night. Ron Isley still going strong.

Love this outdoor venue! The fact that you can be outside and bring your own food and drinks is exceptional in this day and age! Seems like most seats are provide a great view! They bring in a variety of acts!

Loved this little tucked away concert venue. Very clean, bright, cheery atmosphere. Very laid back environment. I loved the security staff! The vendors were also friendly as well. Everyone was super helpful with navigating the venue, and the bathrooms were fairly clean for servicing so many patrons. Would return!

Went to the Charlie Wilson concert here and it was very nice. You can bring your own food and drinks if you like. The seating was decent. It can be hard to find parking but they did have people on carts that will give you a ride up the hill for a tip.

Great Amphitheater lots of legroom not a bad seat in the house

Went to the The Cult/Bush/STP show. Parking was $25 and $5 for water! That is way too much for the event. Bathrooms were clean. Our seats had backs, but were very close together. I would recommend bringing a cushion. Still had a great time and the staff was pleasant.

Superb! Common w/ the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra was remarkable.

The venue and concert were everything. The parking was horrible. It was my first time there, so I know now how to better prepare for parking and traffic. I also know where to always sit for rain or shine performances.

Awesome concert venue!! Sound and acoustics are great. Food is decent and not overly expensive. Good beer, wine, alcohol selection. Not a bad seat in the house.

Atlanta’s best outdoor amphitheater! Intimate setting, usually allows you you bring your own snacks and drinks!

Great outdoor venue with great free parking unless youre not toooo bright and try to get there 30 minutes before they start playing! HahaPlenty of drink and eat options and even chair rental if you want!highly recommend

If you attend a cooler concert its fantastic. You can bring in your own food, drinks, etc and tray table for a fun evening that saves you hundreds over other venues when you consider the high prices of food and drinks at most concerts. Merchandise is the same high prices tho.

Fantastic venue. When I say plenty of seating room.... There is PLENTY of room and more!

Its a great space. Get yourself a raincoat if its raining though. There is very limited area with rain cover.

Nice venue, very good acoustics. Excellent show from 10,000 Maniacs. Now that Live Nation has their fingers in this location its only a matter of time before it becomes cost prohibitive to attend a concert there. I know of extremely long term ticket holders that are bailing due to Live Nation now being involved in the business. It was fun while it lasted.

My wife and I seen a retro 80s show here a week ago and I really enjoyed everything about it. The show was great. The buildings layout was as really nice and convenient. Restrooms are a short walk away with plenty of room (mens room). Drink stand by the restrooms and food stands with drinks available as well right around the corner. The sound quality was real clear and the stats where comfortable. I seems some seats came with tables and extra chairs for picnics. This place was definitely worth going to and we will come back out here again, for sure! There was also a merch stand. I didnt go to it, so I cant speak on it. But there was one! Everything was clean and all the employees where very kind!

This was actually my first visit. Its a great venue. Parking was easy (a bit expensive 25$) and the seating was surprisingly good. I didnt have great seats -or so I though- but I could still see the stage clearly. Also, the aisles were wide enough that people werent crunching your feet trying to get by. All in all - great place!

IT WAS GREAT. I get to say I saw one of my favorite artists of ALL time, COMMON!!!! He was amazing. Nice open venue. Seats were surprisingly comfortable. I think the LiveNation crew could of operated a little smoother but other than that it was awesome.

Up close and personal. Saw Earth wind and fire, and the Isly brothers , bring your Own dinner, get a table. Or buy your dinner and drinks. Really nice

This place is SO TUCKED AWAY and I love it! Food was cheap, the lawn seats provided a great view, and the atmosphere was very chill (as chill as Adam Sandler stand-up allows). I definitely cant wait to visit this venue again. The only downside is getting there & getting out - its a little complicated and hard to navigate, especially post-show. I would have appreciated more staff assisting at the shows end.

You can bring your own food and drinks, which is good because the offerings there are overpriced. The outdoor arena itself is pretty nice, with designated seats.

Beautiful venue that lets you bring your own food and wine. Great for a romantic evening under the stars listening to great music.

There is not a bad seat in the house, just saw collective soul, 3 doors down and soul asylum. Very very good.

Love this place! Great concert venue. Great staff. Convenient parking $20-$25. Concession prices are ridiculous though!

I attended my first concert at Chastain earlier this week and highly enjoyed it. The venue is nice, as were the acoustics. They had decent food and drinks, even though they were overpriced. Theres a good deal of parking close by, but it is tough to get out because of how tight everything is in Buckhead.

Great outdoor concert venue with ample free parking options. I also appreciate the extra security though the pat-down process made me feel like a criminal. I also took offense to my mosquito repellent being confiscated though other patrons were allowed to bring in weed and blow big clouds of smoke all night.

Ive had the pleasure of performing at this venue several times. Its a nice open air Amphitheater and the catering is off the chain! Great audiences too!

Excellent seating arrangement, not a bad seat in the house. We had great box seats. Parking was $25 for a few hours is a bit on the expensive side but worth it for me as we were able to quickly leave. I would recommend 2 major upgrades that can easily be applied: 1) Add bigger screens- at least 5 times bigger and 2) Need a covering, awning or canopy over the amphitheater for rain and sun protection, even if it is retractable. If these are done, you will see every event sold out and satisfied patrons! They can really afford to this this. Otherwise, it is worth a return revisit!

I love Chastain but the parking and the line waiting to park is TERRIBLE. If your show starts at 7:30, get there at 6:00, trust me, you wont be sorry! We heard Anthony Hamilton from the road because we sat in the parking line for an hour, we didnt get to our seats until 9:00pm...lesson learned.

The show was amazing! Common, powered by the Atlanta Symphony, was fantastic, not to mention an amazing venue to see it in.The symphony orchestra played perfectly alongside him while we skipped around a journey in time from 1992, to not even released yet, to made up off the tip, and back.He peppered in some Resurrection andI Used to Love H.E.R., tossed a little Light from Like Water for Chocolate, The People dropped a hello from Finding Forever... Not too mention Testify, Go, Glory, and some wicked freestyling... The list could go all night.Borrow a dollar? You could have em all Son!Great show, and a great time.

Great venue for concerts. I enjoyed watching Santana and Deep Purple 4ock this joint.

Great place to see events especially in the Spring and summer. I always have a great time.

Very nice venue. Plenty of clean restrooms. Handicap accessible. Loads of adult beverage choices. Great layout with ample leg room. Only negative issue was zero healthy food choices.Mark Knophfler rocked!!!

Great spot! Not really a bad seat in the house!

It was a nice place. We went there to see Earth,Wind,and Fire in concert there a d we had a great time.It was my first time being there and I enjoyed it very much.It was a beautiful place.

I was pleasantly surprised by this venue. The seating is spacious and the weather was truly a blessing. My husband surprised me with tix to watch my favorite singer Charlie Wilson for our 19th anniversary. My love for Uncle Charlie has been instilled into my sons musical repertoire, so our youngest joined us and we had the time of our lives. The Amphitheatre was clean and accessible for all. I look forward to another experience at Chastain. Thank you to the staff and the performance was perfection.

First time my wife and I been to this place and we loved it. Traffic was heavy but moved quickly. Parking is $20 across the street and you get can get a ride on a go cart. We tiped the kid $5 bucks. Free parking is at the venue but you probably have to get there pretty early. You can bring your on food and beverages in a cooler but always check on the website before you go. We were 15 feet from the stage which had tables. They are a little crowded but you get use to it. The sound was amazing not over the top. We had fun.

Best place in the entire Southeast to go watch live music. Pay for a picnic table, pack a nice lunch bottle of wine or some beer and it becomes a lovely evening out. Parking is a bit of an issue and traffic around the area gets busy, plus they have to shut it down early because its right in the middle of a nice neighborhood.

Great place to see a show! The layout is really cool. The drink prices are ridiculous though as they are at most places like this, only they are even higher here. $15.00 for a beer! You are allowed to bring a cooler with your own sometimes, so check online before you go.

Parking is the biggest headache at this well established and historic venue. Get there early. Occasionally patrons are allowed to bring in their own outside food and beverages. Still one of Atlantas best outside venues.

Excellent flow. Even though this event had to have everyones phone locked up....entry and exit was perfect and quick. We had close seats, however looks like all seats are good seats. We Ubered to the venue, nice and easy! Excellent sound for an outdoor amphitheater.

Such an amazing venue! It is a little bit in the middle of nowhere suburbia, but this is hands down my FAVORITE concert venue. It is small, parking is easy, the music sounds great, and there is literally not a bad seat in the place! Even sitting in the very back row, you would have a very good view, and close, too! Plus, the seats are spaced far enough apart to allow for tables. Not all concerts there allow tables, but for those that don’t, you end up having soooo much legroom! I’ve never been more comfortable at a concert in my life!

The show I attended here was great but as far as the staff goes I believe that I had a very different experience compared to some of the other reviews. The staff was extremely rude and hostile. When I walked in I was greeted by a fairly kind staff member who told me that I could take pictures in the venue before the show started but that I couldn’t take pictures during the show. Once I got to my seat I decided to take a picture of the EMPTY stage but as soon as I pointed my phone I was yelled at by an old lady who said that we were not allowed to take pictures. I agreed even though I was still confused because the first staff member told me I could take pictures before the show. A couple of minutes later the person that I attended the show with went to get a drink but was gone for a very long time so I decided to text her to ask where she was but as soon I pulled my phone out the lady came up and yelled that had she already told me that I couldn’t have my phone out (she did not. What she said was I couldn’t take pictures) and said if she saw my phone again that I was going to be kicked out. It is also important to notes that at this time there was zero signs around the venue stating that we could not have our phones out before OR during the show and the sign stating that we couldn’t have our phones out during the performance did not pop up until 15 minutes after I was yelled at. Almost everyone around me had the exact same experience with the lady after I did most likely due to being given inaccurate information by the employee at the entrance and the lack of signs. I think everyone there shared in my uneasy feeling throughout the whole show because we felt that if they even saw a peak of our phone that we were going to be kicked out. I will never be attended a show here again.

My all time favorite venue !! I’ve been to about 15-20 concerts here in the past 4 years of living in ATL :) outdoor, beautiful night sky, fun when tables / able to bring in your own food/ drinks (this isn’t for every concert. About to go see Earth Wind and Fire for the second time :) saw Jimmy Buffet , Sting, Lionel Richie And many more!! LOVE IT

Dont really like this location. Its really old parking sucks avoid at all cost unless you really want to see somebody that is in concert

Totally appreciated the golf cart service that went around the entire parking areas near the park so that those who were parked far off would not have to walk as far and be delivered straight to the front gate. I also appreciated the fast lane for T-Mobile, and the options for food if you forgot to pack any.

Attended Frankie Beverly and Maze show it was awesome! Theres really no bad seat in the house. I sat in the orchestra center section with direct view of the stage. Glad we were able to bring small cooler with food and drinks.

First time. Venue built in 1944 wide aisles, comfortable, cozy. Very incredible to watch Robert Plant.

This place is easily accessible and traffic flowed smoothly although there was a great amount of traffic. Once in side theatre the seats, restrooms, and concession areas were easily accessible as well.

Very nice place. I went to see Charlie Wilson concert. The staff working was very nice and warm. I would love to go to another event there.

It was a good venue for the concert I went too.

Charlie Wilson was AWESOME! El Debarge still sings amazingly. He needed backup dancers or something to enhance his showmanship. Great Show!

Great place! First time there a month ago, was there to see the isley brothers which was a hit. Man the years he called out threw me for a loop and how old but still able to bust a tune was surprising. Great place hope to visit again for another concert.

Went to several concerts here over the years, seating is Great, Sound is good, service is slow. Takes forever to find parking

Great venue. In the middle of a suburban neighborhood which makes traffic going to and coming from the venue an issue. Staff was friendly and helpful. Bathroom facilities were very clean.

Last night I saw the Bush concert. It wasnt a bad venue but alot of stairs. Smoking area is up the stairs out front. The Shirt vender is literally in the middle of the place. Going to the bathroom is kinda hectic. Other than that the atmosphere was good.

Saw Mark Knopfler. Great venue with excellent sound. Weather cooperated fortunately. The concessions are very nice and efficient and the restrooms are very clean.

I’ve only been to two shows there but already my favorite venue. Cozy and old and beautiful. Parking and in/out were a breeze when I went.

The Acoustics are terrible. Concerts are very short because of residential sound ordinances. And if youre sitting on the floor people are going to be talkin and more concerned about the food they brought than hearing the actual concerts. This was my seventh concert at this venue and I need to learn never to return. Its fun to have a picnic but if you really into the music for the band thats playing youre going to hate Chastain

First time here to see Josh Groban and Sarah McLachlan. Great venue. Easy parking and walk. Beautiful surroundings. Great atmosphere for summer outdoor concert. Awesome acoustics. Loved it!

Beautiful amphitheatre! Just wish there were more speakers so the shows can be louder.

Always fun. Liked the upgrades to the food area

Venue is horrible, lack of adequate parking to accommodate all customers who have purchased tickets at the venue. The worst part is the concert I attended was not even sold out and some people came by uber. Despite all of this, traffic was backed up getting to the venue just to find parking. If you arrive on time youll miss nearly the entire concert in traffic just to find a parking spot. The only options available are literally parking on the street or parking a mile away and walking to the venue.In addition, once you make it to the venue entrance there is no organization at all, so be prepared for yet another wait. Also, they require you to open your purse and any bags to check for security and scan your entire body with a detector for weapons. Ive never experienced anything of this magnitude going to a concert, I felt like I was getting booked into prison, with the exception of not having to give fingerprints.Lastly, the audio is horrible in this place and the biggest disappointment was they didnt even have the side projectors on displaying the stage/show so that anyone not within 20 feet could actually see the concert.On a positive note, the few moments we did manage to catch of the concert the artist we saw was incredible, just raw talent.

The 1975.. Awesome Show!!

I loved the Common concert. The cost of food and beer was high. But thats to be expected in a concert venue. But there should be responsible cost for others who may not have or may not want to pay inflated prices. Give consumer more options.

My first time there. Went alone. Met a nice person that needed a ticket and i had an extra one. We had a great time. There for the Isley Brothers concert. Would go again. Parking is a beast.

Very nice concert space for an outdoor show. We had a great time. Would definitely go back for another show.

Parking was $25, which I think is excessive. We were not allowed to bring in food or snacks
