There is no bad seat hands down across the board it is the best venue to see any band. The performances that Ive seen there are incredible the Acoustics of that venue is incredible if youve never been to the small Church AKA mcglohon theater you owe it to yourself to find someone you like and go see them. Lucinda Williams you were incredible your band was incredible and on your second encore when you took us to church priceless

Old venue that used to be a church. Stained glass windows remain giving added character. Medium size theatre offering good views all around. Staff very helpful and friendly. Sound and acoustics were good, lighting good but shadowy on subjects minor retraction.

Great venue and all seats have good views

This is such an intimate place to see and hear someone perform. I only wish the sound system was a little better and the building maintenance was improved. The paint and some plaster are damaged in the stairwells. Still well worth going.

Beautiful theater centrally located. Not a bad seat anywhere. It is a smaller venue which makes for a more personal experience. Note:if youre a bigger person or one with wide hips, seats may be uncomfortable.

A very nice venue. Seats are a little close very limited leg room. Able to view stage from any angle. There is a large theater and a little theater. Needs to update bathrooms.

This has always been one of my favorite concert halls. Originally church in the early 1900s, the sound is incredible. Kudos to the architects for keeping as much of the old church feel (like the stained glass windows) as possible. THE best place to see a concert in an intimate setting, bar none.

I went to Terrance Young and Jeanette Harris concert and I was in tears( tears of joy and excitement). What an excellent concert. The theatre was an intimate setting so that it can be truly enjoyed by all.

It is a beautiful refurbished building with outstanding acoustics. I was surprised to learn there wasnt accomadations for my party of 5 with a gentleman with a walker since we were sitting in the balcony. Otherwise o wouldve given 5 stars.

Being a fan of the smaller theaters I love McGlohon because of not only the size of the theater but also the friendly staff, the proximity to easy parking and the same amenities that the larger theaters have.The outside of the theater doesnt say much. It looks like the entrance to a modern style building that is snuggled next to an older Church entrance. When you enter the actual theater you can see the West wall adorned with stain glass windows making for a picturesque atmosphere.This theater serves some light refreshments, beer, wine and some cocktails (cash bar) and the easiest place to park is 7th Street Station which is a two block walk. There arent as many restaurants on this end of Tryon as you would see further South.

Beautiful theater. Went to the She Says public discussion and it was my first visit. Thanks for having such a great space!

This is a wonderful small old church theater. Not a lot of knee room in balcony.

This place is beautiful and during a concert the music really surrounds you! I do wonder if this use to be an old church?

Absolutely beautiful building, nice staff, and very clean.

Its a nice theater in uptown, the balcony has a surprisingly great view and is much closer than I imagined. The staff were all friendly as well. On the negative, it seems a bit run down and it was confusing to get to our seats. In one door, out another... still, Id go back again!

Boney James was fabulous! He plays his sax as if he were personally playing to me. What a performance!

Fantastic... this used to be a baptist church. Still has the stained glass windows.

Excellent! Boney James was awesome!

I liked the venue size, however seat were tight, signage was miss leading.

Really beautiful venue. If you get there early, there is a parking lot right in front of the venue. Its pay to park, but you only walk 40 feet. Worth it. There is also a nice pizza and wing place a half a block away that is great. There is also a neat, quiet little Asian restaurant near there as well. Both excellent dinner choices within easy walking distance. Makes for a simple evening out with parking, venue, and food really close.

Always a great place to see musical artists in an intimate setting.

Cozy with comfortable seating. Not a bad seat in the house

Small intimate venue, not a bad seat in the house. Lovely acoustics.

We recently visited this theater to see Preacher Lawson. Its an older establishment, but seems clean and comfortable. I dont think there is a bad seat in the place. I sat in the center balcony area.

Cool place. Very comfortable, great seating

Great entertainment; Justin Hayward of the Moody blues!

Beautiful old church turned into a concert hall!

Great show at a very nice venue. Nice theater. We saw a couple of shows there and it’s a nice size. Not too big or small. Good acoustics.

Intimate venue. Not a bad seat in the house.

I love the vintage feel of this spot. Its a great place to have eclectic and unique presentations or events.

This is a beautiful old theater. And the show was fun for the whole fam.

Exceptional performance space in uptown Charlotte! I have enjoyed many performances in McGlohon Theater and spirit square. They have excellent artists and the ticket Prices are affordable. I love the balcony in McGlohon and the old stained glass windows, from when the building was a church in the olden days. The stage is very close to the chairs and when you sit in the balcony you have an amazing time!! I have seen several musicians while seated in the balcony and it was wonderful! Typically they serve local craft beers and some wines and some liquor drinks in the lobby. They also have had interesting art exhibits in their lobby. I appreciate this entertaining space and its definitely a favorite in the Queen City! Youre also across the street and in walking distance from several restaurants uptown. I typically suggest parking in 7th Street deck since its a short one block away from the theater.

Beautiful venue, great staff!

Had a blast with friends at the Tony awards night.

Great acoustics cool place I will attend another show

One of my favorite venues in uptown Charlotte, this theater is an old church and has great Acoustics, not to mention you are so close to the performers you can almost touch them! If you have a show you want to see and it happens to be at the mcglohon theater, I would highly recommend getting tickets early and being in the first few rows, it is definitely worth it!

The Open Mic events that are hosted there every couple months are amazing and FREE. Great talents. Also the building is beautiful and artsy.

Nice cozy venue, clean with friendly staff.

Great show ina wonderful venue!

The theater itself is nice, small. Good venue. Parking sucks.

We watched the Assia Ahhat concert. Wow, she really put on a show.

Beautiful, intimate concert hall with great acoustics. Not a bad seat in the house.

One of the best venues I have experienced. Great acoustics and very intimate. No bad seat.

Nice venue. Ample leg room. Didnt have toilet paper in the bathroom though. You would think they would have someone monitoring the bathrooms on a concert night.

Very nice theater. Great seating throughout. No bad seats in the house

Went there for church service. Loved it.

My favorite theater in Charlotte. Perfect size for viewing a show. Every seat is good. Love the old seats and strained glass windows. Absolutely beautiful.

Beautiful structure. Not one bad seat in the house. Seats are a little tight Dont bring anything extra.

Love the space and location! Love going to the cellar for a drink before a show and heading quickly over before it starts. FYI, there are seats that are somewhat obstructed by thin beams. The tickets will post a disclaimer so be sure to read info about your seats prior to purchase!

Went to Tab Concert

Great venue! Beautiful interior. Loved the stained glass. Not a bad seat in the house but be warned...this is not large people friendly seating. You will get to know your neighbor very well! Also EXCELLENT, friendly staff!

A historic church that has been transformed into a theater. We saw Rob Bell here. He was awesome as usual.

I had a training at this theater and enjoyed it. Nice little theatre for smaller productionsHad the feel of a old Broadway theatre. When I went it was super cold so you may want to bring a light sweater just in case. Prepare ahead of time and get there early because you may have to walk a while from parking spot. Depending on which door you go in to Spirit Square, it may take you a couple of minutes to locate the theater.

What a great place, the Acoustics are awesome, seating very very comfortable very well organized clean, very helpful staff

Nice clean facility! Staff professional.

Always a good time at the theater! Ushers are friendly, environment clean, refreshments at a reasonable price and the shows are always awesome! They also offer many free events to make theater accessible for everyone!

Lovely little theatre, great acoustics.

Beautiful and great acoustics but needs a re-furb badly.

A really beautiful, albeit small theater. The seats are a bit cramped, but small price to pay to enjoy a show in such an intimate and characteristic venue. It IS and old church though, so if you want to avoid places of worship, Id skip this location.

Keb Mo was great!

One of my favorite theaters in town!!

Always a great place for a show. Historic church setting. Stain glass windows, beautiful sanctuary. Sound system is great, any seat is great. Parking deck and preferred parking lots less than a block away.

This place is my favorite venue ever. And Ive been to hundreds of concerts and plays all over the United States. This place is intimate without feeling crowded. The seats are old school red velvet. And the antique stained glass windows are so special.

A great venue. Very personal and up close. Situated close to the heart of uptown Charlotte with easy access to dining and other attractions of the city. Worth a visit to Uptown Elevation church services on Sundays. Not a bad seat in the house except behind some of the structural pillars. Definitely alot of flavor.

Lovely venue for a beautiful performance.

Absolutely beautiful theater! Such wonderful use of sacred space. If a church cant be a church anymore, filling that space with beautiful music is second best! We were there for a Jim Brickman concert. We will be back!

A really nice, intimate place to hear music.

Very quaint theatre. Great acoustics for this small venue.

What an amazing, intimate venue to hear Mac Powell and The Family Reunion. Beautiful old church with stained glass windows and excellent acoustics.

Lovely place. It has been years since I visited. Will plan going back for an upcoming event.

We saw Blind Pilot perform here a few months back, and we loved both the concert and the atmosphere. The stained glass windows are gorgeous and add something a bit unusual to this Cicero venue (a former church/cathedral). Good acoustics (at least where we were seated). Easy to locate. Plenty if nearby parking.

Pretty cool Theater but they have NO elevator for disabled guests to access the balcony! We were not told this and purchased balcony tickets. Because was not ADA Accessable had to be reseated on to main floor.

Saw a great show from Banff Mountain film festival

Went to a concert during memorial weekend, it was an awesome experience

Beautiful theatre but make sure to sit downstairs if youre coming with someone who isnt nimble on the stairs.

I performed in this theater, and it is a great experience for those who have a passion for acting! North Carolina may have one of the best theater conferences in America!

Great accoustics and excellent view of the stage.

Ive been at this theatre before with its lovely intimate space but the seats are really small and the rows are very tight. It would be great if they could keep the charm of this venue but update the seating arrangements.

Spirit Square is always a great place for different events. The McGlohon is very large with balcony seating. Parking can be a pain, unless you are lucky enough to get one of the few spots on the property (there is a fee of course).

Great atmosphere for taking in some music with friends.

Great place to see a show. It’s cozy and has a great feel. Good sound for an intimate environment. Great seats anywhere.

The theater itself feels old and tired (its also the location for Elevation Church Uptown services) though the rest of the building is in better shape. Staff and volunteer ushers at the Blumenthal Arts events Ive attended have always been very pleasant. The location is very convenient with plenty of pre-performance dinner options nearby.

Historic and lovely venue for shows and music! Really not a bad seat in the house!

I have been many times and enjoy myself

Small venue with great sound

One of my favorite theaters in CLT! This theater was previously a church - the stained glass windows are still in the building. It gives an intimate atmosphere.

In the past few years,Ive seen some really good shows here.I look forward to increasing my visits.Really good sound for a mid size venue.

Enjoyed it. First time going

Lovely evening with Mark OConner Band

Very beautiful venue

Helpful staff, clean and loved the stained glass windows. Small intimate venue

I love the McGlohon! Its intimate and there is not a bad seat in the house. The only reason I dinged it by a star is the price of concessions is too high.

A really nice, intimate venue!Graham Nash looking good at 75, too.

Really GREAT show!

Cool venue, acoustics are awesome. Apparently the bar is a recent addition. The prices were pretty reasonable and the show (marc brussard) happened to be awesome as well :)

Remarkable music venue. Saw Allison Krauss Oct 2nd 2018 through Music With Friends. Everything was as good as it was an possibly get. Acoustics & ambiance of this venue is probably the best for hundreds of miles!Five Stars

Lovely small theater with great grand details. Balcony center seats are good enough for any performance without breaking the bank.

Enjoyed the production; excellent volunteers; perfect view and amazing acoustics. Immediate access to parking ticket and convenient and no fuss parking. Extra treat to have photo op with touring group following show.

1st time, great show, drove from Raleigh.

As always the show was wonderful. So much talent. Loved every minute.
