One of the best days/nights/birthdays/shows off my life!!! Beautiful venue, beautiful, funny people. I dont know if I can top this one. Thank you Agora for hosting and thanks to everyone involved including my lovely date Nicole and my two new really good friends Victoria and Kaitlyn!

Overall good venue. The acoustics are above average but do tend to produce some reverberation and a slight tinny sound at higher volumes. I have no experience for anything other than music shows here so I cant comment on any other types of entertainment. Staff is always excellent! Easy to access and has sufficient parking at a decent price.

The Agora was a truly Amazing host! They Completely blocked off both levels of Suite B for us. They also had security all entrances. The security team was absolutely great. They were all very professional and also very polite to all of the concert goers. They staff was also attentive to keeping our space clean. The photographer was also very polite and respectful. And a huge thank you to I believe it was Chris for setting it all up and making everything possible especially kinda last minute! Big thank you to all you such a great night we will definitely be back thank you!

Much smaller than I remembered, but well kept. Plenty of parking and easy to find. The restrooms were easy to locate and very clean. The bar area is well kept and offers classic beverages and mixed drinks. The staff are all pleasant and will help you find your seats. The balcony area is older and the steps could be tricky for someone without the best balance so I recommend you only purchase floor seats if you have a handicap or problems walking/balance. We really enjoyed the show and had a great experience.

A Cleveland staple for a great show, what else needs to be said! Went to the atonement tour show( KILLSWITCH ENGAGE, AUGUST BURNS RED &LIGHT THE TORCH)!Had an amazing night, looking up what else is going on here this year, definitely going to be back!

Staff super friendly and very amazing atmosphere. Saw ABR there in in July2019 and it was awesome. If your drinking it is way pricey...10 bucks for one beer....whew. Bathrooms clean enough and ample parking. No close handicap parking though but it is accessible indoors to certain areas. Seating and standing room. Bouncers so nice. Great time.

This venue is absolutely mind blowing. From the beautiful historic architecture, to the acoustics of the the theatre. Even full of people and music, its hard not to appreciate the venue itself. The Agora staff is incredibly friendly. This is a wonderful place to see a show. Much better than huge venues. This is personal and gives you a more individual feeling.

Weve seen quite a few shows here. The last one being Game Grumps live. The staff knows how to get everyone in and seated in a timely manner. A well managed place

Went to Sabaton /Hammer fall concert here. They partner with AXS for ticketing which was easy and convenient. Sound and lighting was great, staff know how to run a concert for moving people in and out of the venue.

This is a nice mid-size venue. It isnt a stadium where youre watching a massive TV the whole time and its not an intimate living room where youre in everyones way when you get up to use the restroom. I photographed a ton of concerts here, including Tech N9ne and from that POV I cant complain one single bit.

First time to The Agora. Went to see Brothers Osborne. Great show. This place has a rich history in music and has been recently updated. Beer prices about what you would expect. One fan got a little out of hand, but the security was on it very quickly. We had a great time. Definitely will go back.

Pretty good venue for a concert. Pretty much all the seats are good. Not really handicap friendly though. Lots of stairs

The Cleveland Agora is a great place to see some of the smaller and more affordable music tours that come to town. My wife and I have gone to 5 different concerts here, and the sound and seating was always great! After the concert, there are also tons of places downtown to get a bite to eat. The parking is also very convenient, and right behind the venue.

Nice staff and plenty of options at the bar, although drinks are expectedly pricey. Also, parking was $20(cash only) Went for a chill concert, and was not disappointed.

Been here a ton of times. Always a good time and a great view from almost anywhere in the building. Sound is generally very good. Only downside is no re-entry and parking is overly expensive if you cant find a spot on the street.

Saw August Burns Red here. Had a great time.

Went during the 2019 Cleveland Winter Warm up. The people I went with ended up ditching me, but I still had a blast. Strangers were awesome. Music was absolutely great. Cant wait for the next show!

First time I had been here in 12yrs. What a complete difference. It used to be dark, sticky, grimey, and stuffy hot/humid ...NOW it is clean, open, airy and FULLY A/Cd! It was a great experience (almost shockingly unexpected!) I had steeled myself expecting the OLD venue ... it was any thing but ... what a great restoration! If parking had been a little more convenient/free it would have a full 5*s.

Saw Lord Huron 7/15!! Fantastic venue with great sound, and I had a better view than Id expected! Air conditioning, clean bathrooms, and plenty of parking, too ($20 for adjacent lot). The show was AMAZING!

It had been 25 years or so since I stepped foot into the Agora to see a show or play there, and what they did to transform it is amazing. Only drawback is that parking is in on Prospect, and the entrance is on Euclid and there is no clear path around the building, and its dark.

Best Venue in Cleveland . Best staff all around . Truly feels like family and home . Great shows but if you drink I’ll warn you drinks are expensive . When You booze you lose lol

Having been back several times I appreciate the work that they did but I still miss the place I knew from the 90s... :)And the polished floors in the pit make for an exciting time once the beer starts getting tossed around.. save yourself $20 and park on a side street as well!

Amazing venue. The building itself is beautiful, and the seating/standing room is great. The floor is separated into three tiered areas so it super easy to see the stage no matter where you are. If you get a spot with a railing youll have something to lean on during the show. Staff were super friendly and fast to get people in. Clean bathrooms are a plus.

Came to Agora to see the Wu-Tang Clan. I had Opera Box seats. Great view. Extremely pleasant, and helpful employees!The vendors merchandise selection was horrible.The guy outside on the street had way better T-shirt’s!The main problem ... The Sound Man!!!The soundman was horrible. So horrible in fact, that Method Man STOPPED the show, just to tell the soundman how bad he sucked!Therefore, some songs were very hard to hear. Couldn’t hear the beat. Couldn’t hear their voices on some songs. It robbed the room of the energy, and you could tell that it weighed on them when they ended the show at 90 min, no encore. No nothing.Just a “Peace”.I haven’t seen Wu as a group in Cleveland, since they were last here almost 20 yrs ago.House of Blues did a great job.Agora on the other hand, may have cost us a better show ... and that’s a shame. Especially for $200/seat or $100/GA.Fire your sound engineer!(PS. Why not consider having a VIP/Waiter service for the private Box sections?)

First time the since the renovation and it was really nice! The ushers were efficient and polite. The bathrooms were clean and the lines for drinks were fast. I had to knock off a star because our second level seats were TINY. Im 56 and my knees were PRESSED into the row of seats in front of me.

Beautiful place! Staff was extremely helpful and informative. Accoustics are great as well. Great place for a great show....thank you

Saw a great band. Venue was nicely restored, and well maintained. Expect to spend a lot on drinks. Pregame for sure. $36 for two tall cocktails, $20 for two Guinness.

Excellent place to a show no matter what the genre ! I went to see a metal show and it was great they did a nice job making this place great again. The restrooms they really made fancy . I enjoyed myself immensely. The only Qualms was the beer prices 9.50 for a Bud light kind of steep. If your gonna mosh if they spill beer on floor it becomes very slippery. Staff super nice I’m impressed! I attended Napalm Death show

This place never fails! One of the best places in CLE to see concerts. Chris Z. is rad , the staff is rad, and sound is awesome. Always a good time at the Agora!

I went to see a live pod cast here just recently,but Ive also attended a handful of concerts here. The staff is always super nice and Ive never had a bad experience at any show. I love that the venue is on the smaller side, it makes the shows that much more personal. And let me just say the And Thats Why We Drink live cast was amazing. And the staff made the meet and greet move along efficiently but without making you feel rushed when chatting with the hosts. Ill definitely keep attending productions here.

Agora looks great. Nice to be back. Greta Van Fleet was tremendous

Went last Friday from MI to Cleveland to see Delain with Amorphis and Anneke. They were awesome to see. Also this is the best venue Ive been to for a concert, the crowd was just amazing as well. I hope to come back for a other show soon.

Looks absolutely amazing! Love the renovations!

Went to see TREMONTI. Super cool place to see a concert. We sat in balcony. I could see everything, great acoustics, comfortable seats. Best venue I have been to this year. Parked right behind the hall which was well lit and safe. Rocking great time thanks!

My wife and I, over the last couple years, have traveled alot to attend different shows. From Columbus to Detroit, Lancaster and Bethlehem but this venue in Cleveland, The Agora Ballroom is probably the nicest venue we have ever been to. First of all, parking is right behind the venue and it was only $20 which isnt too bad. The venue inside is big and spacious. Large bar , nice sized room for the merch and the venue portion was big with a nice balcony as well. We saw Underoath, Dance Gavin Dance and The Plot in You on 12/1 here and the show was fantastic. Probably will start driving here from Pittsburgh for more shows.

Smaller venue with awesome shoes and great people

Hot as hell on some events but is the best experience I had I love this place.

When I was part of a real ghost hunting team, we went there for an overnight investigation. At one point in time one of my investigators had missed a step while going down the stairs and twisted her ankle after the fact we all still continued on with the investigation. Later on that night. We had set up a Hello Kitty karaoke machine that I bought so we could stand up on stage and sing as a trigger to draw out paranormal. While my friend who twisted her ankle was up on stage singing I was lucky enough to catch a photo of The Man In The Yellow Coat (ghost). He was in the upper middle of the balcony looking to be holding a concession cup. I figure he was probably just watching over my friend checking up on her. Many people have claimed to see The Man in the Yellow coat With their own eyes, but I leave I am the only one to have captured him in a still photograph. I guess during one of their shows the bouncers were outside talking about a popular ghost hunting team that had investigated there And then quickly change the subject to my amazing picture.. the conversation was overheard by my boyfriend who immediately yelled out i know her lol!!!

Fantastic, historic, Cleveland theater. Saw Greta Van Fleet. Great show at a great location. The AC worked!

Love this venue! Bad Religion was awesome tonight.

Great venue, was able to get nice and close to the performers. Stone Temple Pilots and Tyler Bryant and the Shakedown were amazing!

Excellent service. The staff were all friendly and courteous. Im disabled and use a walker. Parking staff were very helpful in getting me access to the venue, and inside the staffers made sure I was comfortable in the general admission area. I was able to stand and lean on the railing through most of the show, but they also gave me a chair, and checked on me.

Decent sized theater but small enough to make it a more personal show

Weve always had a great time there. Intimate setting for concerts. Definitely a staple of the Cleveland music scene.

Great time on my vacation

Great concert venue with a really atmosphere. There are no bad seats here and it always gets great shows. Drinks can be a bit pricey, but no different than other venues. Definitely come here for your next concert.

Great theater! Saw Alter Bridge abd Dirty Honey...amazing acoustics and nicely restored venue.

Unorganized as hell staff rude and unprofessional. Paid for early entry the did not honor that door supposed to be open at 5 or 530 I forget but they didnt let us in until after 7. Said that early entry pushed back until 6 that didnt happen earlierI was first one there at 4pm. Paid almost 300 for 2 tickets I didnt know this was standing only unless you were someone special. BE PREPARED TO STAND FOR HOURS AND HOURS Left us out in storming rain for hours. When doors opened the let everyone push theyre way in no matter what ticket you had. VIP Meet and greet was unorganized once they finally got things together it was well after midnight when we got our pics taken with artist. The sound was good artists were good. Venue overall experience sucked.

The new renovations are paying off. Ive already gone to two concerts in one month. Great pit standing room, and an elevated standing room with railings to hold your drink. Great sound and amazing architecture.

Ive been to many a shows at this venue. Im never disappointed. The staff is kind, the security is pretty good, hell they take care of their patrons pretty well also. Im coming back to see Killswitch, so see you guys soon!

Good sound nice and clean. The drinks are completely over priced and watered down. My wife missed light the torch the band she went to see because they would not let her down because the band was playing. She was extremely upset.

Love this historic venue! Clean bathrooms. Friendly bartenders.. always love coming here. Brings me back to my childhood. Id give ten stars if i could

New favorite place to see a concert. Clean bathrooms with short lines. Enough bars to make getting drinks quick. Easy to get in and out of the parking lots.

I only gave it one star rating because unfortunately theres no such thing as zero. The staff is completely self absorbed and has no interest in providing a pleasant safe experience or venue for the public .I would caution you against putting yourself at personal risk by coming to the establishment . Its worth traveling much farther way to see the group or entertainment that you seek. Or unfortunately go without seeing them at all as opposed to subjecting yourself to this venue

Love the Agora. always has the best artists. bartenders are awesome. this place is ALWAYS fun

Ive been here many of time and its always a comfy environment.

Cool music venue, definitely go catch a show here

Nice small venue that packs a superb sound I came from out of town and it was super easy to get to I would highly recommend checking out a concert here you wont be disappointed

Always a good time at the Agora. It was a bit crowded during my last visit, but there were no issues. However, their beer could definitely be cheaper.

LOVE THIS PLACE! Gives u a good chance of meeting the bands! Personable and the staff is great!

This is my second favorite venue in Cleveland. Always good acts coming through. Very versatile. Staff isnt very friendly sometimes...

The place was really clean, the bathrooms were great but they charged 9$ a beer, the floor was way too small for a metal show they should charge separate for the floor.

A close, intimate place. Well organized and put together. Great staff. Great experience.

Great theater, best place to see a comedy show for a big venue

New renovations/updates look great. Still one of the most enjoyable venues in Cleveland as always

The remodeling is amazing only down fall is not having the restaurant operational next door and the seating for the upper balcony is super close together

I recently went to a concert at this venue and the overall experience was okay except for a two things. The landmark Agora sign in front of the building was not lighting up completely and the restrooms were very dirty and need to be updated. [UPDATE] The Agora issue was addressed.

First time we had ever been here. Its super nice! We had great first row mezzanine seats.

Really nice place but make sure you eat before going on to watch a concert. You cant get back in later

Great venue, staff were all very nice. I liked that there was a whole separate room for the merch tables instead of congesting a main lobby area. I didnt like that parking was $20, although to be fair this might be par for the course for this area of Cleveland. Also, it seemed like there wasnt enough space for general admission, we were all packed in like sardines. I would recommend getting there when the doors open and getting a general admission seat in the very upper balcony or paying for a reserved seat.

Venue was clean (minus a few drunk people spilling their drinks on the floor), great sound quality for a rock concert, staff was all friendly and helpful. Definitely will be going back for more concerts!

If your on the mezzanine on the front row be aware they will tell you to sit down. They just dont want people getting hurt. There is an atm in the venue. Smoking area is designated. Very spacious and the sound is pretty great. There is a good amount of parking and it is pretty walkable. If you stay at a hotel it is best to uber there to avoid street parking or the rush of people exiting the venue.

Pretty decent little venue for seeing concerts. We found pretty good GA spots to stand in. The sound quality was decent enough, and they have plenty of drink options. I kind of thought it was in a weird spot of the city, but overall it was a good experience. I would definitely attend a concert here again.

My pep pep always brings me here for a kidz bop show. Every year. It brings me great joy to share this with my pep pep, and learn about the universe together.

The venue was a perfect size to be able to see the show from every angle. Courteous staff and loved that they continues to serve drinks even after the bands were done. I will be back!

Would be nice if they had seats..but all over experience is nice

Moderate sized, old school venue with okay acoustics for a big room. Great bar service. Coat check. Smoking area. Chill security. Its in a run down area, so no nearby bars/restos, but safe parking.

Went to see In Flames last night, which was a spectacular show. I havent been to the Agora since it has been remodeled. I would like to say they did a bang up job. Its so clean now. They moved some bars around, new sound systems, lights, bathrooms, paint, the whole nine yards. The Agora is my favorite music venue, period. Great acoustics and sound whether youre in the ballroom or the theatre. With the remodel its all the better. Beer is priced what you would pay pretty much any place else. Might be best to drink a little before you get there if youre strapped for cash.The only downside is parking has gone up. Make sure you bring cash to park. I paid 15 last night. Other than that, you will have a grand experience.

Had so much fun, love how the agora is very intimate - but then again, I was front row :)

Got to see NSP and TWRP!! Was a beautiful venue and the bands were Killer!

Amazing venue. Fast lines and fantastic views. I love seeing concerts here!

One of my favorite music venues in Cleveland due to a large parking lot in the back of the building as well as the large amount of space indoors.

Security is top notch, they scanned my heels to see if they were steel toe...? Lol drinks are expensive. One drink was $17 and youll spent about the same for parking as well

Beautiful theater, went for a comedy show, great seats on the balcony, I am sure concerts here are amazing. Skip the line at the bar at the entrance, go to the one up the stairs.

Went here to see Bert Kreischer when he was in town. Drinks are priced the same as what you would pay at a sports game, and parking is a bit of a mess. Id recommend parking in front of the theater or down the block to avoid being blocked in at the free lot next to the theater / avoid paying $20 to park behind the theater.

Venue was beautiful and the bands awesome. The acoustics were excellent, most importantly

Only thing missing was a lit marquee outside with the bands name on it. Otherwise, place is outstanding

Its big on the inside n they always decorate according to what event is taking place. Ive been twice now and its always a 10/10 experience for me. Its a very clean, well organized place for any function.

I’ve been here for rap concerts, rock concerts, and even a wrestling show for WWE’s 2015 NXT tour and, trust me, The Agora is accommodating to all styles. Most recently I was able to stand as close as possible to see a beautiful acoustic Myles Kennedy set. This Cleveland venue is equally as awesome as House Of Blues.

Love the small concert atmosphere and closeness you get to the performers here. Their recent renovations make a beautiful space ! Only reason it’s 4 and not 5 stars is the priceyness of drinks !

I love seeing shows here. Comfortable seats, good views and good sound any where you sit. King Diamond Rocked

We were here for a comedy show recently. I think the venue is absolutely beautiful and very welcoming. My only complaint is that they had three employees seating every single person and it seemed very disorganized. The line just to get seated was backed up all the way past security.

Saw the Raconteurs here a few weeks ago and what a show. The venue is great and the teared GA standing areas gives you multiple great views. The alcoholic beverages, like most music venues, was a bit more pricey than youd like to see. Overall, great sound and beautiful stage

Had a Blast at The No Limit concert. Sound was amazing

Fun time. Ween rocks. The Agora renovations are impressive.

As always, the Agora lived up to my expectations and went beyond, with encouragement, ensuring I had a spectacular time enjoying Strange Musics performances on my birthday! The staff was efficient and courteous, even letting me know they had eyes where I was feeling uncomfortable at a time, which assured me they care about my experience. Ill definitely return!

This is a great venue, I thoroughly enjoy my experience every time I come here.

Absolutely ridiculous prices on drinks. Was charged $17.00 for one watered down vodka cranberry. Service was poor and bartenders were unfriendly. Extremely disappointed and will not be attending anymore events at the Agora.

What an amazing venue. Very intimate setting for concerts and comedy shows.

First time going to the Agora. Had a great time. Sabaton and Hammer Fall, put on a hell of a concert. 10/27/19. Staff was very friendly and helpful. Would definitely recommend the Agora as a venue to see concerts at.
