Gorgeously restored to its former glory, the Lyric Theater provides a stately, yet intimate, setting for plays, talks and concerts alike. Clearly a lot of time, effort and money has gone into creating this beautiful space - and it was most definitely all worth it.I had a great time seeing Marc Broussard perform here, and the acoustics were fantastic. The accommodating bar and spacious foyer add to the comfort of attending a show here. Highly recommend!

Was there for the Jay and Silent Bob Reboot and it was such a great venue! We were sitting in the loge section and had a great view of the stage. Was my friends first time there and they were totally impressed by the renovation!

This was my first time visiting The Lyric and certainly wont be my last. What a beautiful, intimate venue! It sounded so great in there. So grateful for all those involved in the restoration of this theatre. What an asset to our city!

My seat was in the LOGE SECTION (Mezzanine) Center Stage on the first Row. Leg Room and Seat size was very good. The Theater is absolutely gorgeous! They have a Bar for Beverages and Candy but no Food.

What a beautiful old Opera House! Saw Taylor Hicks in a very intimate setting!

Amazing. I was taken to the Alabama Theater as a kid and never knew the Lyric was there. When I heard that they were trying to raise money to restore it, I was enamored. This was my first chance to go and it is absolutely gorgeous. I am so thankful that people spent as much money as they did to restore it. Being in the younger crowd, it makes me happy to see other younger people enjoying old things and historical venues. Im so glad the Alabama Theater went from sticky floors, ratty seats, and a projector that didnt work because they didnt have any funding to the beauty it is; and even moreso that the Lyric went from being boarded up to being restored to its former glory.

Saw a high school choir perform here. The theater is beautiful and seems pretty old. It could have used a few more seats for this venue.

We loved the Lyric! It was like stepping back in time for some quality entertainment with Tommy Emanuel and Lance Allen!

We had front row in the Loge, decent leg room. Row behind us had literally NO leg room.

Omg! I love this venue! I attended an Apocalyptica concert that is 4 guys with cellos who were covering Metallica songs. The sound was amazing and the layout and staff were amazing.

Beautiful theater and great view no matter where you sit. My only complaint is that there is very little leg room in the balcony. I am 56 and my knees pressed against the seat on front of me. Maneuvering sideways helped, but when there are people on either side of you its nearly impossible to get comfortable.

I had a great experience at The Lyric! The building on the inside is beautiful and historic. I really loved the craftsmanship of the interior of The Lyric. The history behind it is mind blowing because I realized while there enjoying the beautiful interior, there once was a time that I would not have been able to enter the building from the front door. But to be able to enjoy my favorite jazz artist Brian Culbertson from the first row 2nd seat was an amazing dramatic experience. Go enjoy The Lyric, it is beautiful!

One of the most beautiful theaters I have ever visited! The history of the Lyric is amazing! Alabama is lucky to have this theatre restored

A beautifully restored nostalgic theatre. Step back to 1914 artistry and acoustics. A quaint venue for an up close entertainment experience!

I bought tickets through Ticketmaster. They told me they would be at will call. I contacted Ticketmaster 3 different times to confirm. Once arriving at the theater, they claim to know nothing about it. After arguing, they let me in but put me in much worse seats than I purchased. I was supposed to be in Opera box 306 and I am on the back row on the floor. Customer service is poor. But, Ticketmaster was great! They went out of their way to make it right.The theater is beautiful, so they get an extra star for that.

Incredible acoustics led to a great time at the Marc Broussard show. His voice in this theatre was incredible.

Awesome setting for Church Christmas program. Beautiful on the inside. Glad to be able to enjoy this wonderful piece of history

Lovely place. But if you are over 510, do NOT choose balcony seats. You will not be comfortable. But.... Great view.

Attended the Kevin Smith screening of Jay and Silent Bob Reboot and got to meet Kevin Smith backstage! Beautiful building, intimate seating!

I love Mac Powell his musicians to great Jason and all the guitar players or phenomenal. Ushers were very helpful and interesting.

This is a great place for smaller, more intimate shows. The theater is beautiful and the staff is very friendly and helpful.

This place has been beautifully restored! The event staff are terrific. The layout is impressive. There are a few minor things that could be performed but also arent noticeable. Some interior glass was chipped and a bit of the stairs and wall upstairs but overall this is still the best theater available downtown. Hopefully itll be well maintained for years to come. The concessions are nice and clean too! Dont miss any opportunity you have to see this piece of history.

I went to see Black violin which was excellent. it was a fundraiser for links. the tickets were $100 I set upstairs and that was awful. seating was too tight and made it uncomfortable and difficult to enjoy the show. I had to fold my scarf and put it between my knee and the chair in front of me just to relieve the pain. it was awful. I do think the theater was very pretty.

Beautiful venue! We had the Opera seats, and my short self couldnt see over the balcony. Other than that, it is a great place for a show!

This theater has been beautifully restored. If you have a chance to attend an event here, go and support this historic site.

One of the most beautiful buildings Ive ever been in. It was worth the admission price to see and experience the theater, and I got to see the Big Bad Voodoo Daddys.

Such an exceptional venue! The restoration of the structure is impeccable and absolutely beautiful. I highly recommend going to look at the before and after pictures it will blow your mind! There is not a bad seat in the city. The acoustics are amazing. Overall definitely my favorite place to see a show in Birmingham.

BEAUTIFUL venue...If you get the chance to see a show here-TAKE IT!

This theatre provided a very nice atmosphere for the concert that we attended. The restoration of this great piece of Birmingham history is simple amazing. The photos displayed in the theatre of this restoration makes you appreciate the rich history of the theatre. It is worth a visit if you enjoy seeing a concert or performance in an amazing piece of history with modern conveniences.

Venue looks great after the renovation. Seating is comfortable with lovely architecture, just wish concessions had more to offer

Awesome venue! And beautiful! Seats are tight but oh well it still rocks.

Beautiful reminder of the elegance of the past!

Really nice, historic place to visit. Only knock on the place is the lack of signage to find assigned seats. Ushers were helpful though, once one became available. Not set up well for handicapped patrons.

The Lyric was amazing, beautiful and fun. What a great time!

Saw Post Modern Jukebox, awsome show

Incredible venue and an amazing staff. Would recommend it to everyone!!!

Great staff. Excellent experience as always

Me and my wife went to see Steve Earle on May 12, 2018 in this beautiful theatre! The staff were very friendly. Would love to see more shows at this venue.

Beautiful theatre. Super friendly staff.

Old, vintage vaudeville theater totally renovated and beautiful. All seats are good and none are more than 60 from the stage. Concert sound is impressively clean.

What a beautiful building and friendly staff.

Saw Jim Brickman and it was a great venue for his performance

This is one of my favorite theater renovations. Theyve done an excellent job with it. Every concert Ive attended has had decent sound. The refreshments/bar is also decent.

A very special historic theater in the heart of Birmingham. There isnt a bad seat in the house.

The Lyric is a fantastic venue. I have been both a visitor and a performer there. It was restored in 2014-15. It is simply beautiful. The staff of the Lyric are friendly and extremely helpful no matter if you are a visitor or performer. I cant say enough about the Lyric. Birmingham is fortunate to have a great place like this.

Great newly renovated nostalgic theater. Love attending any event here.

A beautiful venue. We have never had a bad seat. Saw Taylor Hicks tonight and he was awesome as usual. His voice is perfect for the Lyrics acoustics. Those long notes vibrate in the rafters and go on and on. Loved it!

Atmosphere was great. There was not a bad seat in the place. Great for a small concert like we attended.

Beautiful and well kept old theater, not five stars because I didnt have room for my legs and Im only 511.

Beautiful old-style performing arts Theatre. Well kept up.

Not a bad seat in the house! What a BEAUTIFUL venue! The staff was amazing....so nice and knowledgeable about the place! My 1st time there but NOT my last. And the ramen shop 2 doors down is open late for post show food!

Jim Brickman was amazing

Gorgeous venue. Think mini Fox theater in Atlanta. Classic look/design, beautiful sound and intimate setting.

Dont get me wrong, but this is a great place to go see small venues. Acoustics were great with all seats just about 60 feet from the stage. It is an old place but beautifully refurbished. Best seat are lower seating and the first row balcony. Other seats are tight. If you are tall or long legged no leg from. Nothing to eat, just snacks. Coffee was excellant. During the intermission, potty lines are long for both women and men...but move quickly. Steps but no elevator. Show was excellant see the Jim Brickman Christmas show.

This theater was alive and well during the Vaudeville age! Its rumored that Charlie Chaplin performed here. That being said, the acoustics in the theater are fantastic! It is small and intimate. The facilities have been updated nicely, whilst paying homage to its incredible history. If given the chance, go see a show!

No bad seats. Fair liquor prices. Great venue.

He Lyric Theatre is breathtaking. The new owners restoration was absolutely superb. If you get a chance to see it... GO!

Went and saw mbmbam and whose line is it anyway here and both trips were fantastic. Good drinks and service.

Beautifully restored and relatively small theater. Im not usually fond of concerts in venues where there is only seated attendance as here (no standing/open floor), but due to the size of this theater Ive found this lends itself to intimate performances and a great experience, especially if you can sit downstairs close to the stage. Great viewing as long as you are not in the very first couple of rows. The only small downside is that the refreshments this places serves are a bit limited.

This is a very interesting venue, and the restore is fabulous! The best part was the band Apocalyptica! Their performance was pure perfection once again! Love this band.

Beautiful venue with good acoustics even without the often excessive amplification. Have enjoyed numerous events there, However, the tickets have higher add on fees than theaters in NYC, Atlanta and Birmingham. Plus, our latest tickets for Three on a String does not allow a print option. The only options are text, will call or additional fees for mailing hard copies of the tickets. Guess they are saving a tree branch by eliminating paper copies.

Very nice venue that can definitely give you a up close and personal performance. The balcony seats are quality give a good view of the stage. The newly renovated bar area and entrance a very appealing.

Beautifully appointed and gorgeous. Acoustics are amazing and other than the lower balcony seats, I am not sure that there is a bad seat in the house. Love the historical significance and designations throughout the building.

Lovely historical theatre with slightly uncomfortable chairs. Enjoyed a presentation presented by the Birmingham Bar Association. It was an interesting and educational event in a wonderful venue.They offer pricing discounts for students!

Beautiful atmosphere! Saw my favorite, female Gospel artist, Yolanda Adams, here in February. Awesome experience!

Beautiful historic theatre! The Opera boxes are wonderful and its so great to see how beautifully restored everything is!

Remolded Beautiful saw Yolanda Adams she was Awesome!!!!

This was my first time to the Lyric, and it is beautiful! Our group sat in the highest nosebleed seats to watch Taylor Hicks, and still had a great view; it is a very intimate setting. My only complaint is about the lights. I dont know if Taylor Hicks has his own lighting person, or if they are controlled by the Lyric, but the stage lights kept flashing into the audience. At first it was just a few times each song, but after about an hour (out of a 2.5 hour concert), there was almost constant flashing right in our eyes. I actually put on my sunglasses, but no one else had theirs with them. All 7 of us left within 1/2 hour of each other.

Typical place that advertises falsely and now people are damaging windows and destroying the building right in front of pedestrian view.

The Lyric is beautiful. The Pink Floyd Laser Spectacular was indeed spectacular!

Great venue. Beautifully restored. Small enough that there doesnt seem to be a bad seat in the house. Theres no hassle for the smokers to go outside and re-enter. There is a small bar for drinks that is adequate. I ordered a beer that was cool not cold but the bartender gladly switched it for a mixed drink. Theres only one or two places within walking distance around the theatre to go after the concert. There are several paid lots in the area that range from $5 - $15 for parking.

Very intimate and beautiful theater. We werent prepared for how small the Lyric is compared to other venues. We had great seats on the floor but I imagine there isnt a bad seat in the house. Cant wait to see more acts at the Lyric!

Great venue! Beautiful theatre with awesome acoustics.

The Lyric is an absolutely beautiful theater. With three tiers of seating all close to the stage it has an intimate atmosphere and the venue itself feels small yet not crowded. They have clearly done a great job with the refurbishment and I loved my visit there. I would definitely return if given the chance. I would say that the Lyric is probably my favorite venue in Birmingham right now.

Beautiful theatre. Amazing acoustics. Not a bad seat in the house.

Beautifully restored historic theater. Nice acoustics. The balcony seats may be a little small for larger or taller people but overall a great venue to watch a concert in

Beautiful theatre - will watch for other events there!

Ornate & beautiful! Happy its preserved!!

Awesome venue. Easy parking. Handicap seating is a great view of the stage. Staff was very friendly. Adult beverages were reasonably priced.

The Lyric Theater is a testament to determined entrepreneurialism in our city of Birmingham. I have been very fortunate to have seen the restoration of this wonderful facility from the start and if nothing else good comes from its existence this restoration has been good for my soul. It shows that almost anything that is not dead or destroyed can be restored to vibrant health if given enough time, attention, and money. Way to go Birmingham Landmarks and all the players involved. Oh and by the way...this is a wonderful place to view a performance.

This is a gorgeous venue! Great for music concerts.

Great sound. Small seats. Try ro get a seat on the end. No bad seats in the house.

Lovely theater. Great venue.

Beautifully renovated, friendly staff and a great bar!

Nice theater. However extreme overpriced cocktails at the bar.

Amazing theater to be in and look at. Youll love the feeling of sitting in the audience

Love this beautiful theater.

First time at this beautifully renovated theatre. It was great, the service and experience both!

So pretty! Event staff very nice

Beautiful old theater great sound no bad seats

Great remake of an old theater

Great staff & nice place

Beautiful Venue, with comfortable seating and polite staff.

Excellent evening with a purpose. Awesome Entertainment and Cause with Yolanda Adams

The Lyric is an old vaudeville theater that has been restored. The acoustics are excellent. It is beautiful. It is a small, intimate venue. Great place to see a concert.

Great! Great sound. Beautiful place. Will be back.

Beautiful, comfortable, we sat in row L on the floor and we could see and hear great!

Beautiful venue and the sound is amazing. Small and intimate setting.

Stunning architecture from a by-gone era. Built in 1914 as a vaudeville venue, and meticulously renovated circa 2014 ! A must attend venue where acoustics are phenomenal and theres not a bad seat in the house

“Amazing venue!”The Lyric is beautiful. It is such a nice venue with amazing acoustics. Vintage Classic remodel with taste and care to keep it close to the original. A must see! Drew Holcomb even unplugged and stepped out with his acoustic and no mic...it was so crazy good!
