I have no reason to love old buildings as much as I do, and this one is pretty special. It’s definitely the kind of building you wouldn’t expect to have survived till now, and it’s also hard to see it. By which I mean, go inside to see it.

Beautiful brick venue! Open, inviting, spacious. I went for a beer + cheese fest and it was the perfect space.

Do not pass up an event at the Cyclorama There are several major annual social events throughout the season (Covid excludes) and any opportunity to mingle under this glittering rooftop will be glorious. The cavernous circulars space s so stylized. It as the epitome of High Victorianism. While the venue is not the lap of luxury, the accommodations are sufficient. The cyclorama falls short of the contemporary luxuries we come to expect when we go out for a night on the town. The place is grand it feels like is should provide its patrons the lap of luxury., I’m sure someday it will. I can remember The Park Plaza before the Ivan’s Trump modernized it Or the Waldorf-Astoria before its latest few hundred Million dollar renovation. It falls short on bathrooms, the coat check, and all the digital updates we have come to expect in the 21st century. I wish I could say that it’s their absence that gives the Cyclorama is charm, but it does not. but don’t let this discourage you. When it comes to a good night out on the town. perhaps I’ve had too many. 5 Stars for the Cyclorama

The space was nice and open. The event was a wasted use of this nice space, and did not do justice to the fine brick interior. It was nice to play all those cool video games and see Anamanaguchi live, but this venue should be used for much, much bigger events.

This art show is a lovely mix of realism, abstract art, and sculpture. This is a small intimate show with ample opportunity to talk with gallerists and artists.

I visited the Cyclorama to see Nick Caves AUGMENT. It really was quite fantastic and the venue is perfect...spacious and well lit. A lot of fun and interesting walking around discovering different features and characters in the design.

Nice venue. The shape of the space helps people mingle and there are no bad seats at an event here. Charming exposed brick walls, and artistically decorated bathrooms give it that extra vibe. Great place.

At once warm and industrial, the cyclorama is bricked walls and floor with wooden roofing. Large windows let in natural light but it is still a darker venue. Its sufficiently large for most events with capacity over 1000 people.

A good space for the Boston drink craft beer events. Worth a visit during one of those events.

The place was ok. With two people with back problems, a lot of stairs and no chairs to sit down. The event was called Phantom Gourmet , about 30 wine vendors and only about 10 food vendors. Not all showed, and one of the food vendors had little cups of movie popcorn.. .seriously? Had fun with the women I went with, but not at all impressed with the event. Made us stand outside in the cold, did not open doors 1 minute early. Wouldnt let some in due to their purses being too big! What were we going to steal, the popcorn? Only good food was the chicken pot pie. And not only were the wine glasses plastic but didnt even say Phantom Gourmet on them. Drove all the way from Western Massachusetts for it. Ugh. Not at all impressed

Nice open space for events. Went there for Phantom Gourmet. It was warmer than I think they expected. A/C was not cooling the space considering how many people were in the space.

Review №47

This is a beautiful and stylish mid sized venue, in an attractive area. The layout encourages tables around the border, and would probably make a nice social dance venue. Parking can sometimes seem impossible, though, and its at least a few block from the Back Bay T, so give yourself some time to get there.It would be really great if, given the number of family events that happen here, the venue could install a changing table. I hate to take a star off (so I wont), but it would make it much more pleasant for the many parents who I see at events here (and, of course, me too).

Review №57

Came here for the craft beer festival (free tickets!) and it was a great location for that type of event. lots of space to set up stands and also for walking around. they could have put in another 2 rows and there still would have been a good amount of room. Not sure if Cyclorama cut off the number of breweries, or if there just werent that many who wanted to participate.The bouncer told us that there wouldnt be enough time left, because we showed up around 1:30 and the last call was at 2:10, but we tried everything, bought candy and had photos taken!

The Cyclorama is an auditorium that is used for numerous events. I went there for a local brewery festival and it was a great venue. I believe it was originally built in a circular fashion with a dome to display a work of art that wrapped around the canvas in a full circle.

Went for an event. Very nice space. It got a little stuffy towards the end but that had to do with the event being crowded and a horrific cold snap making the heaters overwork

Review №68

Hosted a very large event at this location and ran into constant issues with staff and management. As a restaurant owner and event coordinator, I have worked with a lot of venues, and this is one of the most stingy and uncooperative. We were supposed to be running annual events here, but I will be taking my business elsewhere, and I suggest you do as well. They are not worth the headache.
