Its a wonderful venue, the only problem is there is no center aisle, so you have to climb over about 30 people to get in and out of your center seats.

Ruth Eckerd Hall is beautiful! Best concert hall in Tampa Bay! The remodeling has been finished and last night was my first time there since its been done. I wish II had taken pics of the entrance and lobby but we were running late. We saw STYX and they were great! Theyve still got it! Vocals were spot on!Love those guys️

Went to two concerts in the past, and this is one of the better places to see live music. Plus nobody can smoke, which is great.

Love the lobby concert series and the responsible way they are sharing music.

Weird concert experience with covid. Sat at round tables and had an appetizer tray included but price for VIP table way over-priced for the concert we got. Wonderful concert, just too short. Son, Robin Taylor Zanders, vocal range was amazing!!

Went to see Sister Hazel first mini concert since the 19 hit. Let me tell you, they were on point with safety and social distancing. It made the concert experience relaxing and enjoyable.

FANTASTIC asset to Clearwater bringing in various artists through national plays, poetry reading, concerts of nearly EVERY type of music, as well as the arts of other variousl talent of professionals from all over the world!

There really isnt a bad seat for a view at Ruth Eckerd Hall. All seats also have lots of leg room. Only issue with seats is if youre in the middle you have to walk past lots of people to get to your seats. Fortunately not everyone has to get up since in general there is enough leg room.Main thing they need to work on here is the parking! Every time we are here for a show it takes forever to get out. They need to learn a better system of merging people out from different lots and parts of lots, so youre not seating in your car for a half hour before you even begin to move!

I like the Venue. BUT WHEN YOUR DISABLED WITH WALKER and you wait and wait and out comes a beautifully styled young woman walking fine make up perfect.No limp. I was devastated. Because it was to late for me..I had waited so long. MAYBE AN ATTENDANT AT THE LADIES ROOM WOULD BE HELPFUL. Or 2 disabled restrooms there are more than one disabled person at your events. This will keep me from coming again...it wasnt pleasant sitting there

Very well done Ruth Eckerd. First concert back since COVID. Good social distancing, limited audience, felt very comfortable.

Had a graduation there... they did a good job having it feel safe.

We have seen many concerts at Ruth Eckerd from Boston to Ted Nugent they were all great not a bad seat in the house. Good prices great staff makes for a rocking evening.

My husband and I love Ruth Eckerd Hall!! I want to compliment someone that resolved my issue immediately and so easily. What a kind a personable lady. Thank you Janet Macomber! Ruth Eckerd Hall is lucky to have you!

I see shows here all the time. It’s a nice clean venue. I especially love the parking lot gators!

The new renovated Ruth Eckerd Hall looks amazing. Love the new lights in the main lobby, it all looks clean and sleek. The chairs are comfortable there are cup holders on the seats in front of your seats( wasnt sure if they were there before the update.) Thr outside draws your attention with the new frame work and lights. Also plenty of easy close parking. Great job

Great venue. Didnt look to be a bad seat in the house. The only negative was that there are no center aisles so everyone had to get to the center section my going from one end or the other. So if youre sitting on the end of an aisle, there is constantly someone making their way past you. Otherwise, a great place!

This hall is perfect for all types of events. The staff are all top notch people volunteers included. Ease of access to parking and the newly renovated lobby make visits here a wonderful time. The concierge staff are the best people Ive ever met. I highly recommend attending performances at this venue.

What an amazing Venue. Perfect Size. Not a Bad Seat any where. Sound was awesome. Seats were so comfy. Bathrooms were easy to access and very Clean. Parkimg was free. And Very. Easy to get out.

Arrive early for best parking. Excellent theater. Drinks available but pricey. When leaving if you want to head south to Gulf to Bay or to the Courtney Campbell bridge then always move to the left lanes as they open up. The far two left lanes turn left. Enjoy!!!

Beautiful venue. Easy to find and plenty of parking. The show was amazing. The facility is easy to navigate and we found our seats easily. They have a bar lounge as soon as we entered. Getting back to our cars was smooth and leaving the property, even with all the traffic, was quick and painless. I will definetly be back again for another event. Great experience overall.

We saw Gladys Knight tonight. Not a good show, it was SENSATIONAL. We have been to this venue before and it never disappoints. Great staff, great seating, always a pleasure to attend a show. If you havent tried it, you are missing out.

I always like to see concerts at REH. Great sound, great seats. Id love to play there!

What a beautiful theater. We saw Kristin Chenoweth and it was lovely. I dont think there is a bad seat in the house. The Ushers were great and friendly and parking upon entry and exit was the most organized Ive ever seen.

So I paid for my tickets to Lindsey Stirling MONTHS in advance and they said were allowed to film for the FIRST 2 AND yet some A-hole from security was trying to touch me and to tell me I couldnt film.Has NO IDEA who I am how many followers I have how much I paid for my tickets and that he obviously wasnt listening when they said that for the first two songs we could film--But, I WAS.I do a lot of things with the media I have a film and radio background. I appreciate artists. Ive been in SAG/AFTRA for 20 something years. I AM A voice OVER artist, producer, director. Done a lot of things in my life and what I dont appreciated some F ng person from security and trying to pretend I have no right to record when I was given permission for the first two songs.People who are bad employees should be fired immediately because they do not listen and they dont know how to appreciate the people who are fans in the audience pay the tremendous amount of money for the tickets and were told that them right to participate in the first two songs and then stop recording which I immediately did.

Theyve done a lot of improvements, food was good place is clean as a whistle. The volunteers were all professional. We saw Gladys Knight she was excellent. The sound was just right. We go to a lot of shows . Cant wait to go back.

Seen many great shows here. Never had a bad time. The halls sound is great.the staff is helpful.

Great place for concerts and plays. They also have classes for adults and children. European style seating (no aisles). Great acoustics. Not a bad seat in the place.

Beautiful theater and staff was very friendly and helpful. Went to see a Críss Angel Show. Excellent seatings. Parking is free and easy. I will recommend to leave early or leave 1hr later after the show to avoid a headache to leave the theater. I stayed 1hr and it was a breeze leaving the parking lot after that.

Incredible staff! Even during construction the staff make parking and navigation incredibly easy. Always offering friendly faces and guidance to seating and even rideshare pickup areas. An excellent venue!

Fabulous venue for all forms of entertainment.Ample parking, both fee and free were available.Comfortable seating (I am a large person) with plenty for handicapped individuals.Restrooms exceptionally clean.Security check moved quickly.Highly recommend.

Great place to see a show. Saw stomp! And our seats werent the best, pretty up there and close to the back but the show still looked and sounded great so Id imagine it can only get better!

We were at the Joe Bonamassa concert on Feb 25. Joe was amazing. The venue was not. We pad $300 per ticket for 3 seats. The entire concert we had people getting up to go get drinks. This was happening in the row in front of us as well causing people to stand in front of us and blocking our view. As the evening went on, the people in our isle were so drunk they were falling on us going back and forth. I tried contacting Ruth Eckerd admin and did not get a response. This was the second event we went to there in the past 2 months. Martin and Short seemed to be free of this type of activity. The bar should be closed during the concert. I guess the Halls desire to make more money superseded the experience of their patrons. Dont think we will be back.

This is a GREAT venue to see a show! Small no bad seats at all! I saw RENT Friday night was FANTASTIC! Also went with a friend who has minor disability walking and the staff was SO accommodating! Great job Ruth Eckerd! And p.s. I love your old oak tree lit at night! Perfect photo op selfie takers;)

This is a small venue with a big venue attitude . parking, well be prepared to walk unless you elect to have valet parking. The acoustic are wonderful probably because it is a small theater. The employees have a smile and give great service. If you want to see your favorite groups come to this theatre, you wont be disappointed.

Always a good venue to present some of the very best artists on tour today. 2100 seats, and they are ALL good visually and acoustically. Whatever your taste, if it’s presented at Ruth Eckerd Hall, you’ll see and hear the best !

Hope they are able to open soon.

There really did a great job with the update. Loved the nice big open space with a modern feel and look. The jazz duel was a nice touch while waiting for concert to start. I also like the fact that they added a bar with really good food and snacks. Way to go Ruth Eckert Hall!

Three of us went to the salute to Vienna. Yes it was a lovely night out and the special treat to hear a full orchestra but the music were unfamiliar to the entire audience and not as entertaining as we had hoped.there were two selections at the very very end which were wonderful and engaged the audience. But we probably wont buy tickets for next year unless we know exactly what pieces will be performed. There is a certain expectation to that performance and it was not met.

Update: I went to a sold-out performance of the Kingston Trio, with 2100+ others. I was almost the last car, and most patient driver, and I still got out within 30 min. Try that at another venue!Original:I dont think there is a bad seat in this auditorium. All have good view of the stage and good sound. You do want to be careful to go into the correct side (east or west) because there are no aisles that let you get to the other side once you go up the stairs. The seats are comfortable enough, and there is enough room for later-comers to pass by. Even though we took the elevator, we had to either go up or down stairs to get to our seats. I could not believe that they serve food including popcorn!We enjoyed the performance so much that I got on the website and made a list of all the things I want to go to in the next six months-- Kingston Trio, 112 yrs of Broadway, etc. My calendar is full!

Great venue with a helpful staff. Ruth Eckerd has events that appeal to a broad range of people. Over the past thirty years, all of my experiences here have been enjoyable and inspiring. Recently celebrated my 14th wedding anniversary by taking my partner to the showing of The Last Jedi as accompanied by The Florida Orchestra! He loved it!

High-quality performances in a comfortable 2,200 seat theater. Although under construction on the main entrance, access has been relocated to the East side of the building under a beautiful huge oak tree laden with southern moss. Staff are helpful and friendly.

First class venue. Well thought out, acoustically sound, and not a bad seat in the house. My new favorite place for concerts!!

Ted Nugent was AWESOME!!! Part of the facility was under construction but caused no inconvenience. The only drawback to the facility is the seating is one constant row - even though we had aisle seats we were interrupted too many times to count to let others pass.

We have been here several times. They always have a good variety of shows. The staff is always helpful & friendly. They actually have a decent amount of parking & it is free. The main entrance area is very nice.

Love this small or maybe middle size theater. Every seat has a,God,view

Always a great night out. Shows are the greatest with all the top entertainers. The new lounge inside provides comfortable seating and tables. A bar for refreshments is on hand and entertainment creates a relaxing atmosphere.

They put on many great shows here all year long. Sounds great even if youre in the back its quite an intimate show seating is very comfortable.

First time seeing a show here. The venue is a small older theater with tight aisles. If you have a middle seat you have to walk from the outside in. With that being said I liked the sight lines and the cozy feeling. The sound was also nice. My only con was the parking situation. Not so much when you arrive but when you leave. Very circus like.

CHICAGO WAS INCREDIBLE. Ruth Eckerd Hall always has great shows.

First time to visit. Parking and getting in and out of the Hall was so easy thanks to the well staffed parking assistants. The event hall was amazing. No such thing as a bad seat. Tickets prices were well worth it and cant wait to go to see another event there in the future. This place is a hidden gem. Perfect experience.

A beautiful venue for concerts and shows.

Great venue. Traffic flow after the event is expedited by well trained personnel facilitating excellent movement. We had seats down front and visibility and acoustics were phenomenal. The staff were knowledgeable, amiable and professional. Great venue.

One thing I look for when going to a venue is convenience. I found it. For my generation this venue offers up some of the best nostalgia you can find in the area. My experience was awe inspiring when I watched Unnamed preform. Just an outstanding overall experience.

Gorgeous venue and very nice sound. .my only advice is to hand out cough drops to those who need it !! Heard lots of coughing between moments of silence in our session and it was quite funny but distracting the actual performance. The staff was very helpful and felt safe and secure the whole time. Pictured is the smoking section or out door section within the venue out back.

We purchased seats, and we ended up in the very last row of this theater,. Even though we were in nos ed bleed area, we almost had center row seats. The music was not to loud, and the performances were excellent. The acoustics were excellent. There was no bright lights shinny in your eyes, and the voice entertainers could be heard very clearly. Ushers were stationed throughout the hall in case of emergency. Soft drinks, and snacks are available at this theater.

Great venue. Theres not a bad seat in the house and the acoustics are top notch. One of the inside ushers was rude while yelling at people looking at merchandise to keep them moving along when it was not clear that you were not supposed to stop.

A great place to see a show. Not a bad seat in the house and very comfortable chairs. The staff members are friendly and helpful. The pre-show dinners are pretty good too! The snacks and beverages - both alcoholic and non-alcoholic - are comprable with an airport or professional sports arena in terms of price and selection.

I have not had A bad seat in this venue ever. The acoustics are great too!

Great venue with a grill and bar for before show snacks and cocktails. The most legroom of any theater I know. The new parking design is far better if you have a history with Ruth Eckerd Hall.

Love the venue! It is beautiful and the acoustics are phenomenal. There are no bad seats viewing wise but the rows without breaks are annoying when you are up and down for people either entering or leaving your row.

We saw Lindsey Stirling. Really nice venue! Looks and feels comfortable, since they updated the inside. Parking was easy. Leaving was a nightmare. I dont know if there is a solution but, the system they have in place for everyone wanting to leave at the same time... doesnt work. At all! Dont plan on rushing out of there, if you need to be home at a certain time, like I did.

111 years of Broadway!! Sold out afternoon concert. They will be back next year. Fantastic performance, wonderful staff and volunteers, easy exit.

I’ve been able to see a few different shows here and have loved it every time!

Very nice performing arts venue. We were on holiday in FL from Wales, UK and it was a real bonus to catch the B52s and OMD whilst on holiday. Comfortable auditorium and a good view from the seats. Only criticism is that there is no middle aisle so there was a bit of toing and froing from the audience to exit to the loos during the gig! Nothing major though! Had a very enjoyable time.

Great sound auditorium. Easy to get to each row. Parking easy. Outside entertainment before doors open a nice plus.

Thanks, it was for those from Johnny Mathis era, great voice now, great voice then. Great time shared by all. The place is fabulous a must see and experience once.

All the staff are extremely helpful, friendly and professional. The lobby renovation is nicely done. They really, really need to divide the seating into three sections, like Mahaffey. Really.

The Air Supply Concert was terrific. They were so good and they walked through the audience singing The One That I Love.

Love this place in a lot of good concerts there

Very excited to be a member of the Ruth Eckerd family! Incredible shows at an awesome venue, Rock on

I have had season tickets for the Coffee Concerts for 7 years. They are wonderful! The Ruth Eckerd Hall is very nice; I have enjoyed every show I have seen there.

This is my favorite venue in the Tampa Bay area. Comfortable seating with lots of legroom. Good acoustics. Easy access.

Pretty decent venue. Theyre doing construction so parking was a bit messed up.

Acoustics were awesome, seating was great, very friendly

Although this hall brings in an amazing assortment of performers, parking is a nightmare, and the long rows of seats with no aisles make for a dangerous situation. In case of fire or terrorist attack, everyone would be dead. I am amazed that the Fire Marshall allows these long rows with no reasonable way out. Going to the bathroom during a performance is terribly difficult, as you need to wake past 50 or more seated folks in a very tight aisle. Not a pleasant experience for folks with limited mobility.

Small but perfect!!! Big enough for great sound and small enough to be cozy. Had a great time!!!

3 things: super comfy velvet seats, classic midcentury architecture and pre-party in the back courtyard with $30 booze bracelet, food truck and live music--all made for a great evening with friends. Pod Saves America looked and sounded great on stage. Ushers were friendly, upbeat and helpful. Easy parking and didnt take a long time to leave the parking lot afterward.

Very nice facility with easy entrance off McMullen Booth. All open lot parking, no garage. Cash Bar available before showtime. Very tight seating. Make sure you pee before the show starts

A little dated, but this venue has hosted a whole lot of great bands

Excellent intimate venue. There are no bad seats. Get on their email list for special show discounts. Clean, beverages are not devastating to your wallet like sone larger venues!

Omg...the remodeled Ruth Eckerd Hall and it is truly amazing...I was blown away. Go, support them. They are an area treasure.

Steve Martin and Martin Short was great. My friend who is blind had a lot of laughs, and we had a great time talking to guests in the crowd

Signage is non-existent, I had my elderly mother with me, walking all over due to no signage/direction. Better know what entrance you need to get in otherwise youll be wandering all over.

Went to see Gladys Knight.Great view no matter the seat. The seats are a little small, so you are rubbing elbows with the person next to you, but non the less a great spot! The box office staff are always nice, friendly, and very knowledgeable.

Beautiful venue and free parking on site. Id definitely see another concert here again.

Just attended the Salute to Vienna concert. Concert was great, but so many people recording with cell phones!!! Due to there being no aisle with continuous seats, the ushers are not able to stop it. I had to ask the guy in front of me to put his phone away!! Do something about this management.

Visiting Ruth Eckerd Hall this day was a day to enjoy the sounds of Motown first time ever going there but had a great time was surprised to see soooo many elderly people there of the Caucasian persuasion that really enjoyed themselves and it was just the audience that was sprinkled with a little pepper LOL but good time overall.... we had a great time the performers were awesome

Went to see the Royal tour with Yes and Asia...while the construction may be an issue, it doesnt affect the excellent acoustics of the theater. The seats were comfortable and the aisles roomy enough to get by without stepping on toes. All the attendants were extremely helpful and pleasant, as is usual. A great venue, and a marvelous concert experience!

Just attended a Law Day luncheon with the Clearwater Bar Association in the Margarete Heye Great Room.The room is an excellent meeting & dining space for mid sized groups.Our luncheon was served a salad course, bread, and an entree of chicken, fingerling roasted potatoes and sauteed fresh vegetables. Plus desert of either fresh cut fruit or a slice of raspberry cake.Every part of the meal was tasty, including the chicken breast, which as we all know is usually dry at these kinds of venues... Not here! I was pleased with the juicy well prepared protein.All in all, a great venue with great service, better than average food and a very pleasant atmosphere in the room.

A good event location. Clean, friendly, and generally a subdued crowd. Takes some time to get out of the parking lot but great besides that.

I loved it. Easy in and out. Great show by Joe Bonamassa. Will definitely go back.

Entire experience was PHENOMENAL! The venue is beautiful and LOVE the size! Makes for a much more personalexperience. Just wish people would sit and enjoy the show instead of constantly coming and going; sheesh, its only a couple hours. And please have some respect for the artists and those of us who came to see them and save the chatting for later (Im really sorry the people behind us are having all those family troubles, and the people in front of us had such a lousy meal...) Oh yeah, and by the way, Joe Bonamassa and Band/Back-up gals, YOU ROCKED THE NIGHT AWAY!! WHAT A SHOW!!

Excellent acoustics. Newly remodeled.

Clarity of the sounds & our group had great seats.

The show was great.. The staff was really helpful and nice and parking was excellent

Excellent venue. No matter where you sat you saw everything on the stage. Super friendly and helpful staff

Everyone who works there is super nice and helpful. Food was pretty good for buffet style.

Just an incredible place to go hear a concert! Easy to find easy to get in and out of! You will enjoy yourself!

Ruth Eckerd Hall this good he seating is great because no matter where you are you can see the show thats going on the acoustics are not too bad for a showI would recommend going there for concerts are going to thing.

Amazing facility - beautiful, quality performances. Been going here since I was a kid. Always a wonderful experience. Magical.
