Great place to see a concert. The acoustics were amazing and it was easy to see the stage even from the balcony. The event staff were friendly and helpful. My only complaint was there is hardly any leg room between the rows.

I saw Ms. Lauryn Hill in concert and had a great time! The venue is easy to find, easy to enter, and we found our seats in no time! The security check was simple and non-invasive. The staff was friendly and courteous. Even after the show started they could be seen with flashlights assisting people to their seats. I dont think Lauryn was happy with the sound, but we heard her very well. So no sound or technical complaints from me. The next time an artist I enjoy comes to the Taft Theater, I wont hesitate to buy tickets.

We went to see Swan Lake Ballet performance at the Taft Theatre on a Thursday night. The Taft is located in the heart of downtown Cincinnati. It has beautiful art deco architecture and is within walking distance from many restaurants in the area. We had 3rd row seats to the left of the stage. It was indeed an intimate experience. I look forward to seeing more musical performances at this Historic 1928 Gem.

I cant say enough good things about the Taft Theatre. After the renovations it was brought back to its former glory. A beautiful part of Cincinnati history. We love attending The Childrens Theater performances at the Taft Theatre. There is truly never a bad seat or a bad performance. Grab a Bobbonerie cookie, bottle of water, and sit down and enjoy the show. Thank you to the staff for always making every night we attend the Taft Theatre truly memorable.

We saw That Adventure Zone here last night. The theater is a beautiful old building with tons of beautiful murals and lovely architecture. The seats are a bit narrow for modern audiences but that is really not a big deal. The acoustics are good and the staff was friendly and helpful. Great place to see a show.

Easy to get to, right on 5th. Parking all around in lots or garage. Good sight lines. I thought the sound could be better. We sat in balcony. Leg room was a bit tight. NO elevator for those who needed it. Place could have been cooler. Not my favorite place to see a concert.

Love the Taft. Great theater and cool intimate ballroom. Fantastic selection of shows, there’s something for everyone. The staff is great. Tons of parking and easy to get to.

A cool theater with some really great acts that pass through. The lower level seating is much more comfortable than the balcony area. As a tall person I had a difficulty time fitting in the balcony area seats, but was able to make it work. Plenty of parking nearby and a lot of dining options as well. The parking garage closest is almost twice the price as others on event days.

Went to see Annie Jr. Nice venue. I have long legs so luckily I had an aisle seat because there is not much leg room. Maybe there is more room near the front but the balcony had very limited movement room.

Derek Hough was awesome... What a great guy... And he is definitely Enough!!!Come back and see us again soon...

We had our first experience at Taft seeing A Charlie Brown Christmas and it was great! The service desk was friendly and all of the door staff were pleasant and accommodating! The theater itself is beautiful, but the seats are super small! Super super small. (To be expected, but in a review, it needed to be mentioned!)

I’ve been to the Taft multiple times. This year, I have attended a few sold out shows. That’s 2,500 seats for those unaware. Even with that volume of people, the Taft is a great venue. Easy accessibility in terms of parking (there’s a huge parking garage behind it so very convenient). The staff is friendly, the chairs are pretty comfortable (minus those drink holders anchored to the ones in the front of you, but no seating is perfect and I’ve had WAY worse). The venue is always clean. The sound is fantastic and I truly don’t believe there’s a bad seat in the house. Love the Taft.

This was a lovely little theater. When they first opened the doors we got in right away, very fast. The staff was super friendly. The concession stand is cash only but a lot cheaper than at other theaters Ive been to. I used the restroom and it was very clean. Definitely recommended for a good evening out!

The Taft is a beautiful old theater. The seating has been updated (cupholders!) and is comfortable unless you have long legs. There are plentiful restrooms and concession stands, and you are allowed to bring your refreshments into the theater. The acoustics and sound system are up-to-date and good. The gold-leafed ceiling murals and other pracenium decorations glowed beautifully when the house lights went down, making it easier to see the mural subjects. It was a thoroughly enjoyable evening.

It is a great venue for classical or jazz, but they seem to care more about potential revenue than what is a good fit for the venue.If you are going to open a venue for a country concert you have to be prepared for the attendees and their expectations. As they obviously did not I will be back. It became rather uncomfortable as no one was told in advance that it would not be a normal concert experience and those who wanted to enjoy themselves as expected were reprimanded by staff.Even the band had to ask staff to stand down to allow people to enjoy themselves.A serious disappointment!

Saw INCUBUS here last November and I’m pretty sure Aziz Ansari like 6 years ago. Very amazing venue. So beautiful. Very nice acoustics INCUBUS sounded just like I had imagined. Great staff working the event and honestly the beers in there are pretty decently priced I think I was paying just 5 bucks for White Claws. Hope this helps!

Beautiful art deco style. Not a bad seat in the place. Great sound system and close parking.

Small family friendly theater. Easy to get in and out. Seats were comfortable and had a good view of the stage. It was nice to find out snacks and drinks that could be purchased there were allowed in the theater. Planning to go back for other shows!

Went and Watched Double Dare live here! Event space is super cool, has that historic old theatre vibe. Drinks were decently priced, and not too expensive for a venue. Parking can be tough though, there are several garages somewhat close but closer parking would be appreciated!

Really cool environment. Very historic theater with a lot of character (look up at the ceiling in the theater). Sounds acoustics were fantastic for our comedy show. It’s still cash only (I mean, come on it’s 2019) which caused an excessive line at the ATM and longer than should be concession lines. Overall a great theater for a comedy show.

ABSOLUTELY SMASHING, I DONT KNOW HOW BUT THEY FOUND ME WAS A BEAUTIFUL EXPERIENCE AND I WANT TO EXPERIENCE THEM AGAIN. RYAN LOOKED ME IN THE EYE A FEW TIMES. THAT WAS FUN.

The theatre is a bit old, though not run down. I went for a music concert there. But I dont think it is the ideal location for concerts as the acoustics were bad. The lighting was good. The air conditioning was not functioning well and we were all sweating like pigs. The seats were small and cramped. I am not sure if you pay more you get better seats. Its a good place for small events but definitely not music concerts.

The theater is nice. The box office situation almost caused me to give it a 4. But, overall, it was a nice evening.

The entire building is beautiful. The concession was fast, very simple and moderately priced. The facilities are kept up pretty well for their age.

The Childrens Theater is awesome! Having their plays at the Taft is the BEST! The taft theater is so beautiful and a great place to see plays.

The theater was easy to navigate and everything seemed to be in good working order. It also looked like most of not all seats would afford a decent experience. We attended a childrens theater event and all staff were pleasant with the kids (and hiccups that come with them). Looking forward to going again.

Old theater, but overall good experience. Annie Jr. was a great production. Great job Cincinnati Childrens Theater!

Great thing to take the kids too. It is so family friendly, wheelchair accessible.

I’ve visited the Taft Theatre three times for concerts: The Pretenders, Ghost, and Adam Ant. It’s my favorite venue for concerts. I’ve greatly enjoyed my experience every time. The ushers are friendly and helpful, the drinks are reasonably priced, and the cost of tickets is very affordable as well.

Seating if pretty tight. Not a lot of leg room, even for a shorty. But it has a nice ambiance and feels very classy!

This is an old building, but with its own character & charm.

Took two of our grandkids to see Annie Jr. . Great show, cast, and fast paced. All entertained with no chance to get bored. Highly recommend this experience.

Had a wonderful time watching Tiffany Jenkins, very clean and nice place. easy parking.

Good venue. Have been here twice in the last few months. Parked on the street directly in front both times (an hour before the show, not bad)

Great place for a field trip! All the kids had a great time, wonderful rendition of Charlie Brown Christmas. Clean and organized outfit.

Love coming down to the childrens theater performances at the Taft! The building is gorgeous, the staff is friendly, and everything is always clean!

Great venue good sound. Along the seats are great.

Saw the McElroy family live for My Brother, My Brother, and Me and The Adventure Zone and it was an incredible venue! It was beautiful, the walk out with the crowd wasnt too bad, and overall its a fairly spacious, well, space, and I would come back again.

The play, A Charlie Brown Christmas, was excellent. The lighting and accoustics were great. Our seats in the balcony were the best!!! A beautiful building. Highly recommend!!

I enjoyed seeing Little Big Town. I felt very comfortable with the seating. Plenty of concession stands. The entrance is crowded but flows well when doors were opened.

This is a awesome and organized place. This is the second time Ive been and both times was great! Seats are a lil small and close together but its to be expected for an older theatre!

Gr8 intamat setting. Had a gr8 time with my girlfriend. The only thing I would change is the bar area and how disorganized it was 2 get drinks. 3 lines 4 1 bartender is ridiculous. But I would go again definitely.

I love old venues! Saw John Cusack, he was wonderful. Only wish they would have enforced the no photo rule...and quieted the group of women that had too many adult beverages!

Great place. Good view no matter where you sit. Lots of character and easy to find.

Taft Theater is a fine venue with helpful ushers, however do not use the adjacent SP+Parking. It has just one exit lane with a single automated teller. Audience members trapped there waited in line for an hour just to pay and exit. On big event nights, they need cash-only parking lot attendants. There was also a back up afterwards at the parking lot elevators with no option to use the stairs.

Classic old school theater love it has a bar

Saw MBMBaM live and it was a lovely venue. Leg room in the balcony is a bit tight.

Love this theater. It’s beautiful and a great venue. The staff accommodated me needing handicapped seating and we had a great time!

Visited the Taft Theater for the childrens theater production of Jungle Book. We sat in the balconey. There is not a bad seat in this theater, since it is a smaller intimate theater. The history and historical beauty of this building are worth a visit.

Beautiful theater but very tight seating and they added large cup holders that are right where your right knee hits. Its always hot in there too so dress accordingly

Always a great time with the family!!

Comfortable place to see a concert with your family. Easy to get to and you can park right nearby. The acoustics were very good and we enjoyed the concession’s drinks and the fine chocolates. The rest rooms were not too packed and the lines went quickly. Nice old theater well maintained.

The location is easily accessible with plenty of area parking. The attentants are polite and accommodating. I didnt see a bad seat in the house. My only qualm was the seat to seat ratio. If I can feel your body heat and I have nowhere to rest my elbow, Im uncomfortable.Will definitely be back!

What an amazing venue!! Easy to get to, plenty of parking options and lots of good food near by.

Nice venue overall. Ive seen a several shows here and the view of the stage is good no matter where youre sitting. If you have long legs at all, spend the extra cash for floor seats because the balcony seats are way too close and youll be spending the whole show trying to find a comfortable way to sit. Thats my only complaint though!

We attended a Beatles tribute band ( Fab Four) concert and had a wonderful time.

Not a bad seat in the house! Great acoustics, easy in and out, comfortable seats, and very helpful Ushers. Looking forward to my next event at the Taft Theater!

Nice place. Very old building with interesting architecture. Plenty of nearby parking garages. The pic is of Walk The Moon Playing at the Midpoint Music Festival 2017, which was great!

Beautiful theatre and a relaxing venue. Went here for a concert and it has a close intimate experience. Not a bad seat in the house. Make sure you take some time to look at the architecture.

I love the Taft Theatre. I have always enjoyed my visits there. My last visit I had the pleasure of seeing Ledisi & Melanie Fiona in concert. They were amazing of course. The atmosphere was perfect. If you go, you wont regret your experience.

Awesome Wilco show! Great sound and cold beer! Also loved the 3D screen behind the band!

My first visit to the Taft. Clean and comfortable with decent acoustics. Houndmouth was excellent.

Beautiful theater that you can tell they remodeled every inch with love when it was done. Great sound. My concert there was amazing.

Came down for Rumours of Fleetwood Mac. Security moved efficiently, pointed to seats, obtained drinks with plenty of time to enjoy show. Used Will Call and was super easy, quick! Great show, wonderful venue!

The best place to see a show in Cincy! Like Buddy! Utopia May 10th!

Went to see Annie Jr. It was great and sitting in the balcony was not bad.

Been to two shows in the last month! Loved my seats both times. Don’t think there is a bad seat in the place. More intimate setting and easy to get in and out.

Great place to see these guys live! I had a great time!

I really enjoyed seeing Adam Ant perform at The Taft Theatre. Its been many years since I have been here and I am very pleased with the upgrades. Thanks for the air conditioning too!

I’ve lived in Cincinnati my whole life so I’ve been to the Taft multiple times. This year, I have attended a few sold out shows. That’s 2,500 seats for those unaware. Even with that volume of people, the Taft is a great venue. Easy accessibility in terms of parking (there’s a huge parking garage behind it so very convenient).

The venue is always clean. The sound is fantastic and I truly don’t believe there’s a bad seat in the house. Love the Taft.

Great place. Seating is like a movie theater, a bit tight but not bad. Architecture is absolutely beautiful.

We love Taft but the balcony seats are soooooo close together! Im not tall and I was smooshed. Thankfully it was only a 65 min show this time.

Very nice venue. When being used as a concert venue, hallways are Jam packed! Very hard to maneuver around, the actual ballroom/theatre where concert performs is very nice. Great view from any seat.

We love this theater! It’s small enough to enjoy the surroundings and also has unique performances. We saw Chris Tomlin and had seats in the very top row, only complaint is that it was sooo hot.

Beautiful and well priced. Could use better handicap entrances.

Awesome night great place to see a show

Great theatre and wonderful staff.

Went there to see Colin Hay perform. We sat in the orchestra section and had a great view of the stage. Honestly dont think there is a bad seat in the house regarding view, but that brings me to the seats. They rows are too close - think airplane close. Concession pricing is much cheaper than at Paul Brown or GABP but not really all that cheap. Work on the seating and everything else will be okay.

Really great theater, I was in the back corner and still had an excellent view

Not a bad seat in the house. A beautiful historic building with so much character! Love that there are so many upcoming events here.

Better than usual downtown cincy experience. Event parking was 5 dollars and close by. Easy to walk to.

The Taft is very nice, classic theater. Seating is great. Not to sound cliche, but there really is not a bad seat in the house

Show was good. Theatre seating is awful. No leg room for 6 foot person. Sat with knees pushed into the back of the seat in front of me. Also air conditioning not working well. Very hot in balcony.

Beautiful venue. Not a bad seat in the place!

Perfect every time! Great staff as well.

Beautiful venue. Planning put wedding there next year!

Nice venue, but being barked at by staff and run through a metal detector is not a great way to start an evening. I get the need for security, I guess, but Ive had more pleasant experiences with airport security.

Fleet Foxes were great. Crowd needs to stand for a concert!!!! Venue is always good. Saw Bela Fleck here when I was a kid.

I reccomend sitting in the balcony. There isnt a bad seat up there. It is an old building and that shows. The bathrooms are tight, but at least there are bathrooms on all levels.

Its a great atmosphere to engage all ages and introduce cultural diversity and the Arts to everyone!

Grest for kids as well... Already known for its refreshing variety of satire, music, and show . The Taft theater also caters to younger theater goers with, with fantastic performances like Marry Poppins.

Always a good place to watch a show. Beautiful old architecture make it visually pleasing along with making the atmosphere seem more upscale.

Can you see a show at the Taft theater you feel like youre friends with everyone there. its pretty cramped but its still a very great place to see a show Ive been multiple times and would recommend to anyone going there. I would recommend wearing something nicer than jeans and a t-shirt though its a little more upscale its nice its the theater for crying out loud.

We saw Lauren Daigle here for our first visit to the Taft and I absolutely loved it. I would go back in a heartbeat. The environment is really unique and there are good seats everywhere. The variety of drinks is plenty as well.

The cast in the play was great. Every one was very nice

Best food, beer and service in town. Made for a great start to the night!

Taft is a nice older theater with great acts and shows. Not sure bad seat in the house!

Gladys Knight was excellent. Taft Theatre seats in balcony are so tight u wish u were on on an Allegiant flight. Im 54 and my knees were jammed into seat in front of me. 10 stars for Gladys! 2 for Taft and smart usher who told me to hike up to the top and stand

Awesome Theater! Great service. Not a bad seat

1st date night in yrs caught Lewis Black great show...as SCPA alumni taft theater holds many happy memories for me!
