Went last night to see the wizard of oz. Beautiful theatre with friendly staff. So good to be in a theatre again

Went here to see Steel Pulse. Can honestly say I had very low expectations. I was very surprised to find a very cool venue in a really old Deco theater. Seats were really cheap too.

This Historic theater has been well taken care of!

Great place for a photo shoot. Very vintage

I went to Fox Theatre on Feb 16 to see Tiffany Haddish perform on her tour called She Ready. After the show I had the opportunity to meet her and take a pic with her as well as with the comedian women who opened up for her, Marlo Williams and Aida Rodriguez. It was a great night as all the comics delivered and put on a great show! A night I will never forget. The venue was perfect as it was not super packed. They were all nice people to meet.

Saw the Nutcracker preformed by the Moscow ballet, and a Charlie Brown Christmas live on stage. They were both great!! But set on the historic Fox theater made them magical!! The theater is beautiful, and reminiscent of an theater set in an old movie. Beautiful old sweeping staircase, ornamental ceiling... its just gorgeous! If you havent been inside, buying a ticket to see anything in that building is worth it!

I work as an activity coordinator at a local facility. The staff at the Fox have went above and beyond to help me and our patients have a great time whenever we are there. Very appreciated. Wish the restroom was a little more handicap accessible.

Big old movie theater built in the heyday of the Hollywood Studio System that has been restored close to its original glory. Now with digital projector and great sound system. Venue for eclectic assortment of films and live shows. In downtown Bakersfield with lots of free night parking and close to good restaurants. Check out its website for details and schedules.

Fantastic cold spot to watch venues great sound system! Not a big place a small spot which makes it very great for an intimate show for whatever band. You may enjoy the seat.. Also a spot to watch some older movies that you may like as you were growing up.

Great art deco theater, good price on tickets for movies. Refreshments reasonably priced as well plus you can buy a beer to watch your with ++! Variety of events from re- run movies to live concerts. Floor seats and an upper balcony with pretty comfortable seats, great views from all seats.

What a fabulous gem from a bygone era. Charming theater with a balcony and red velvet seats. We got to see Dwight Yoakam play and he rocked the house

Nicely restored movie palace from the heyday of the Hollywood Studio System. Large venue with digital projection as well as sound system. Varied music acts, entertaining shows, very eclectic movies selections. Easy night parking. A block or so away from the restored Padre Hotel and a few good restaurants. Part of the slow recovery of the Bakersfield Urban core.

I love old theaters and Fox theater is beautiful. We watched a rock concert. Like watching concerts at Fox because its more intimate and seats are closer to the stage.

We saw Bert Kreischer tonight and the show was great! The theater was an amazing place. Great atmosphere and a good layout for the seats, the floor slopes so that everyone has a view. Their numbering of seats is a little confusing though.

One bathroom on the main floor. Unisex. If you cant climb stairs have a strong bladder and hopefully your knees hold out while you wait.

Beautiful, historic theater. Many restaurant/bar options within walking distance.

So amazing inside and outside, pleasant staff, smells great. I am glad this area is about! I Believe I watched a picture here in the 1990s also

Very cool old place. Hard to imagine it was ever in danger of being torn down... what a tremendous loss that would be

The Fox theater is one of the most historic landmarks in Bakersfield and definitely worth a visit if youve never been. The inside is beautiful with long flowing curtains and swirling architecture. It almost takes you back in time when visiting. And there are constantly new events and shows taking place appealing to a wide array of entertainment seekers. Please go visit if you havent yet!

Great venue with a lot of interesting history and architecture. So glad this classic has been restored to us and is able to host some amazing concerts like Joe Bonamassa! Restrooms are upstairs, no elevator.

Loved watching White Christmas on the Big Screen! Very Nostalgic and Awesome especially sitting up in the Balcony. It doesnt get much better than The Fox Theater!

I love the Fox Theater but wish that they wouldnt serve beer during concerts as the locals cant seem to behave themselves after theyve had a few.

This historic landmark is amazing! It has an old Hollywood feel and is super pretty and enjoyable for any event! It also has great acoustic sound so its an awesome venue for a concert! We loved it

Always a Great place to see a Concert!! Here are some pics from front row Kenny Wayne Shepherd below.

Great historic thearture

The Fox is a Historic theater with a really beautiful art deco theme. Seating is comfortable and almost all the seats are good. It is a small theater so you can still see the stage even from the balcony.

Such a great venue! Drove all the way from Los Angeles to see Shinedown recently and just loved it! Beautiful historic place with friendly staff. Will be back for sure!

Seen one of my favorite bands perform Iration! Was an amazing historical building.

Amazing night with Benz Mayday , tech 9 and Krizz Kalico

Worst venue security ever. Front rows seats yet security would not keep people from standing in front of us, at the stage, completely blocking our view. We left early because we were tired of having drunk, rude & inconsiderate people blocking our view. We could not see the band at all. So so sad....drove 3 hours to be disappointed. Never again.

Excellent venue for a concert. First time at the Fox, with REO Speedwagon. Comortable old-school theater seats, balcony available, and our floor seats were awesome. The staff does a great job preventing seat poachers and the over-inebriated.

Have loved this theater my entire life!

Awesome looking old school theater! Recently refurbished. Many concerts and events have been held here for years.

Beautiful theatre. I love visiting old theaters. The details are lovely.We were there for a concert. The air conditioning was poor and it was very hot. The drinks were limited to water, soda, and beer. I wanted a mixed drink.During the concert a earthquake measuring 7.2 hit. Although the place shook and equipment swung around, nothing fell.The people running getting customers in were rather unorganized but kind.Overall I enjoyed the event and the location.

Love the look of the theater makes me want to dress up in the days of judy garland clark gable Marilyn monroe in a glamorous dress ... ok back to the present we saw a show pretty cool. Golden Dragon Acrobats

Great theatre to go see a show good service

Enjoyed the well decorated labby of the fox theater. And also had an amazing time listening to the Grammy award winning Gregory Porter. He has an amazing voice and story to tell in his music. I would love to go back to more shows there..

Great historical place. Watched the Russian Ballet this last weekend. Great show.

Enjoyed a blast from the past, Three dog night at the classy and iconic Fox Theater. What a great venue.

No matter where you sit, its still pretty close. Just saw Neil Young from the balcony, great show and venue!

Great atmosphere. Dont pull your phone out in front of security or they will toss you out.

I loved it they serve you right at the counter and the staff is very energetic and enjoyable it kinda reminded me of that show Cheers

Beautiful theatre. Only downfall is we were waiting in line for nearly two hours for a friends graduation so we could get good seats and a ton of people just cut in line. Entering and exiting the theater was a disaster. In the event of an emergency is would be horrible to get out of building. The rows are also very narrow walkways and you dont have much room while sitting unless youre very skinny.

Clean. Great historic venue. Needs more bar staff!

Fantastic show the Chinese acrobats were visually entertaining and we had a really nice time sat right in front. That was slightly scary when he was stacking the chairs. But that made it even better.

Very nice and well designed seating. Some venues have no leg room but this has a good amount.

Great show we really enjoy the show

My first time and I loved it ! Joe Bonamassa concert was best I ever saw and hope they have him back again soon

While my husband and I were in town visiting family, we caught The Grapes of Wrath, original film, showing for only $5 each. The theater is a Bakersfield treasure. Seating is ample and comfortable. It was quite chilly in the theater, so bring a sweater! We enjoyed our balcony seating, which offered a great vantage point for the film. Staff was friendly and restrooms were clean. We wouldnt mind catching another movie or show here next time we are in town!

They always have good shows at the fox.

Saw Wynonna and the big noise there, She rocked it

Great. Service Christmas service at the fox Rez church.

Nice quaint theater low in production and musical

Great place for a concert or event. Gorgeous building. Great staff.

Ron White... rescheduled in Oct 2018 (NO notification from Fox). Cancelled show rescheduled date Apr 2019 (again, NOTHING from Fox, but note on box office that it was a scheduling conflict). Oh, 3 Dog Night cancelled as well, but no fees returned on either show!! Sorry, Fox...will pay extra to drive to LA.

Great seats...great show!

Nice theater, too bad the sound system was terrible.

A beautiful theater. Kept up with older decor.I personally grew up with this theater. However in winter, bring your warm jackets, maybe a small blacket.

Awesome place. It would be better if the seats were upgraded.

The first time I experienced Dwight Yoakum live. What an incredible concert!! What a group of amazing musicians!! Dwight Yoakum is the best!!!!

Hope everyone enjoyed watching the Back to the Future movie, my dad and i had the honors to bring the Delorian time machine to show and let people take pictures in. Thank you to all who donated in saving from the fox tower! Downtown wouldnt be the same without the fox theater. And because of everyone who donated the legend lives on. I recommend going to this place because the screen is gigantic, the prices are unbeatable and its an experience that can take you back into time!

The interior is beautiful and the music events are always a good time!

Good show, no security for out of hand people though

Went to the Iration concert at the Fox Theater last night, it was awesome

Any seat in this house is AMAZING and if you have the chance to witness an event in this venue: jump at it! Admittedly, having a front row center seat to your favorite concert, theatrical production, etc. is exciting, but if you find yourself in what you thought would be the nosebleed section, youll be pleasantly surprised. Yes, even in the Bob Uecker section, (take it from a seasoned Uecker-section ticket holder) your view will be unobstructed, the sound quality is symphonic and youll have an overall better gauge of the entire event--audience reaction and the overall experience. So leave the binoculars at home (unless youre planning to count the individual whiskers on someones face) and enjoy a spectacular time within this historical piece of Bakersfield. If youre seated within the last few rows of the floor, the venue is small enough that whatever is going on at stage level still translates well to the very back row of the room. And the balcony section is split into two levels that graduates to steeper seating in the back. Again, thoughtful design in a small enough venue so that whatever is happening on stage translates to the very back of seat of the balcony. Sit back and enjoy your event no matter what seat you may end up with at Historic Bakersfield Fox Theater!

Saw Grease there tonight and it was awesome! Sound was good, except when the visiting cast member tried to use the microphone. The film looked great and I loved hearing the whole room sing along to one my favorites. We had a great time!

The nostalgia of the Fox theater matched with the excellent service and epic music created an experience that we won’t soon forget. If you love the feel of old Hollywood or downtown Bakersfield the fox is where it’s at.

Nice historic place to see a show

Saw Joe Bonamassa in concert...heavenly night!!!

Watched Psycho with my teenagers and it was an amazing experience. We sat in the balcony.

Met Kevin and Dave awesome time

Amazing place ver beautiful. Concert amazing. Just that bad part was the staff didn’t let anyone dance when they singer would ask ones to dance staff wouldn’t let them.

The Fox has definitely upped their game! I love all the special movie events they are having. It is always clean and the staff are friendly. My only issues here are that I wish they would offer more selections at the concession counter. It is limited. Since they are serving alcohol it would only make sense to have more food options. Also, if you use a walker or wheelchair you will have some difficulty navigating the restrooms. They have a very small restroom downstairs which there is always a line for and the larger restrooms are up the staircase.

Beautiful, historic....you name it! Amazing!

Great show tonight, the theater was beautiful, made me remember all the Saturday matinees I watched as a kid. We are those same kids, just with grey hair!

Good venue. Hot in the balcony. Dont pay for VIP. Its not worth it.

Very nice place. Lots of security, makes one feel safe. Very polite and helpful staff. Definitely recommend.

Good venue, great concert ( Kansas ), mile long line for refreshments. . Need to work on that.

Its so awesome! Like it was when I was little when my my dad took me to see Disneys Jungle Book.

We saw Steve Martin and Martin Short here. It is a gorgeous theater! A treasure. We were in the second dress circle and the sight lines were great.

It’s a beautiful theater and I’ve always enjoyed coming to this venue for various shows and events. The bathrooms are decent. Only disappointment is that the concession stand doesn’t have hot cheese for their extremely salty or unsalted pretzels.

Great time seeing The Nightmare Before Christmas! Always special on the big screen!

Amazing historical theater. Worth getting a tour!

Every seat in the house has great sound. Best place in town for a concert !!!

I visited this venue for the first time in early June. Saw an amazing concert and the place felt homy. I will definitely return

We went to see Los Angeles azules it was such an amazing night. Great vibes loved the sound and energy

This theater has a way of bringing entertainment to life. Whether its a movie or a concert definitely a place I would go to again.

Love shows at the Fox. Sit up close as balcony gets talkative. And concession open during show which sucks if catching a legend with aholes in and out of doors constantly.

First time at the Bakersfield Fox Theatre for the Travis Tritt concert. What an awesome venue! The line wrapped around the corner (to G Street) due to lack of security but they explained why they were wanding everyone for weapons... I guess this will be the new norm for our society but I do appreciate the Foxs efforts to keep us all safe.Looking forward to the Dwight Yoakam concert next month.

Any place thats hosted the Wu Tang deserves 5 stars

A historic place and hosts many events.

When I was younger, my gymnastics class would before here at the Fox theater. I always had an amazing experience and memories at this location. I come often for movies to help support Fox. I loved the idea when they played the movie E.T. this past Friday, the people working there were people with disabilities. I didnt notice until they mentioned it before they played the movie. Cant wait to see what movie they have next!

Nice old place was very Cold inside. Of course the snacks are very expensive, $4 for a drink, $4 for a candy, $4 small popcorn. Attended WOMENS CHRISTIAN summit BRAVE !

Nice restoration. Had a good time.

Place is great. Saw Kansas here

It is 100 years old and still beautiful

Nostalgic 1940s decor. Great sound . A Bakersfield classic.

This is the 2nd show we ha e seen in this theater. The seats are comfortable. We sat 1/2 way back on the Orchestra section (bottom floor) and were able t to see the entertainer extremely well. Would advise against paying for the first few rows. The way the stage is raised you have to continually look up. Concession stand has reasonable prices.

Makes one feel they are stepping into the past.

Great experience. Concert and customer service were great.
