We arrived to the parking beside it at 7:10 pm on a Thursday night.We were able to park quickly, and close to the elevator. Parking fee was $12. We head to level 3 where all the theaters are at.Our e-tickets wouldnt come up so they printed us hard copy.The theater is cozy but tight. Drinks were expensive! Like $6 for a water bottle!But the act was fun!Surrounded with lots of restaurants.

Improvised Shakespeare was amazing! A must see (although it is different every night). Our show was call Dont Go In There! - suggested by an audience member. Total laugh riot!

Great, intimate theater space with good sight lines everywhere. Talent was solid and Id love to see a show here again.

What a wonderful, intimate theater! The seating is well-placed and comfortable. I think any seat would lend itself to easy viewing of the stage.

The Garner Galleria Theatre is a fantastic space for intimate performances. Unlike many of the other theaters that make up the Denver Center for the Performing Arts, drinks are allowed in the venue and served throughout the performances. Service is underwhelming and, no doubt, the product of having a captive audience. The bartender on my last visit was excessively rude. Nevertheless, this is one of my favorite theater spaces, and a joy to have in Denver.

Connected bar is super cute and the theatre itself is great. Comfy chairs with wait staff! Not a bad seat in the house either

Fun show and great experience. Went to see First Date with my girlfriend, and had a blast. I was concerned at first that the show experience would be diminished with the wait staff coming in and out of the theater area, but they were like Ninjas. You hardly knew they were there, so there was no degradation to the show experience. Awesome time!

Really enjoyed the intimate atmosphere of this smaller theater. Saw the Improv Shakespeare Company and had a complete blast. Recommend to everyone.

Fun intimate theatre. Small tables, small stage. They serve drinks while you watch their productions. Usually good,fun entertainment.

I love small theaters and this place is perfect for intimate shows! The tables are so convenient and I like that you can be served (drinks) while seated.

This is a great little theater in the Denver Center for Performance Arts complex. Just over 200 seat with table and drink rails.

The performance was hilarious! Comfortable seating however extremely understaffed. Waitstaff skipped over our table several time....took 40min to get a drink.

Exceptional experience at this small theater, great cast and venue. This was my first time visiting the Garner and I had a fantastic time. I was very impressed with with play quality and cast, and cant wait to see what is offered at the venue next time. I would even go back to see Xanadu again!

I love this theater. It is a much more intimate environment. There is table service for drinks and a limited number of snacks. Personally, I prefer to sit at one of the bar rail type seats rather than the small tables. The productions Ive seen here definitely play into the smaller, closer audience.

Great venue. We watched a comedy musical and had a wonderful time. The place is a little too warm for me. If you run cold, you will feel nice and comfortable.

Quaint theater with drink service available. We were in the back row and due to some empty seats, we were moved up to the middle rows to fill in for the performance.

Saw Xanadu here with my wife. Small theater, but a fun layout that allows for audience interaction/participation and no bad seats. Would absolutely go back to see a show in this theater.

Intimate theater, not a bad seat in the house and acoustics are fine. But as is usual for places like this, the seats are crammed together, drinks are slightly overpriced as well as the snacks . Even so, I would still definitely see another Play or performer at this venue.

I have been here a couple times for some musicals. It is an interesting layout. They have enough seating for those who are early to be able to relax before the musicals start.

Was a small but very fun theater. Actors were good and singing not bad.

Review №39

A cosy, fun theater with an adequate wine selection. The cast of Xanadu was full of energy and really captured the over the top fun self seriousness of the 80s perfectly. Others expecting something gargantuan and Brechtian would rate this lower than me, but I found the cozy and personal space close to the stage one in which the illusion could be more easily preserved and this is what made my night. My date and I had a wonderful time

Review №43

Firstly the show was great! So this review isnt knocking that the talent. My primary issue was table service and seating arrangement. We waited 30 minutes after being seated before getting up to get our own drinks (5 minutes before show time), meanwhile others who sat after us had received drink service before us. That and the table seating is so cramped that its kinda awkward even at the 4 tops. I get the vibe, but itd be great to have a bit of follow through, or know that there is no during show drink service or no drink service if you get your own before the show.. While the performance was great, the atmosphere I was expecting from other reviews fell short.

Hard place for parking!! Get here early tho park in the DCPA garage. The Garner theater is directly to the south of the garage.The theater is a smaller intimate venue for smaller productions but is a great experience. Drinks are served before and during the show, as well as some food items.

We love the Galleria! If you prefer to enjoy performances in a small cozy venue, this theater is not to be missed. Simple snacks and drinks are available in the theater, and the distraction and noise from servers during a show is the only reason I dropped off one star. If youre ok with that, itll be a five star venue for you!

Review №67

Cozy, intimate theatre downtown. Despite the small venue the shows are always spectacular. The wine is very below average, I tried the Sauv Blanc, the Chard and the house red, all dissapointing. We like to sit at the stage front tables, as opposed to the row-searinf towards the back of the theatre. Great location, parking garage just steps away and plenty of food/drinks options right around the corner.
