Bernie Sanders today. #Awesome

This venue is a beautifully engineered location which offers a deep sophisticated feeling with its wood paneled walls and warm soft lighting. The outside area is as beautiful as its interior atrium, convention halls and theatre, and it is a great place to have local pop culture experiences with acquaintances in the heart of the city.

Brought my kid for the symphony. Cause around here people think symphony means marachis. No room for a seat, understand and I prefer let other parents go. It is a very nice place. Just that between the medic, police, security, some other asshole they at least decided to let me stay and wait. I understand scary times and kids. But its like a police convention here. I was going to be left outside with the bums outside. It was disheartening. Thank goodness I really dont have any feeling cause then theyd have a small dent.

Not bad, but the rows are really long. If you sit near the aisle youll be having people pass all night. Sit in the middle and dont drink a lot a fluids... IYKWIM.

Its a wonderful place for local events. Located in the downtown area. Has its own parking lot at a reasonable price. Handicap accessible.

Elegant facility, tremendous design. The City of El Paso needs to restore this iconic, world-class showcase! It has great potential.

I saw the Russian Ballet at this venue and enjoyed it very much. I was in the absolute front row and was scared at first that I wasnt going to be able to see, but it was ok. Friendly, helpful staff, and the ballet was wonderful. I would definitely go back.

Beautiful Theater with great history. Needs lots of love and attention.

Review №16

The venue was nice, perfect for the event. Small enough to feel intimate and part of the show. WHICH WAS GREAT. Kim Walker Smith is absolutely an amazing, anointed talent, Big Daddy Weave was, well, Big Daddy Weave, all that I expected. Sarah Reeves and Brandon Heath are upcoming talents. Wonderful voices and true to the message, Jesus.

Very nice venue! Very clean, well organized. There were lots of vendors for alcohol and even some snacks. The security did a fantastic job making sure we were all safe. There were plenty of staff members around the building, helping people find theyre seats and answering any questions. Also, the bathrooms were HUGE, clean, and well stocked.

Dream Theater rocked the place

Review №30

Theater is nice but seats are TOO close ( rows) to each other..... When you sit your knees practically hit the back of the room ahead....... If someone needs to get out, the row had to get out so they could...... Was easy to see the stage.

Seating is tight, no cup or drink holders.Depending on the show ticket prices are up there and the ambience does not match three rate you pay! Its old and outdated.Needs allot of remodeling. But it does bring interesting acts!

Review №38

Very beautiful theater, came here a couple times for concerts and loved it regardless of where my seat was located. Very little to no free parking nearby but the garage allows free parking for handicap and Disabled Veteran plates. Drop off/pick up area up front is very poor.

Review №39

I am very dissatisfied with this place. The seats are too short. There is no one to direct people to their seats, I helped a few people and this is my first time here. The drinks suck, $8.00 for a splash of Jack Daniels, TABC should investigate for under-pouring. This is the last event I will attend at this venue, The Plaza Theater is 100% better, they know how to take care of their patrons.

Can we please have an update in here? Looks like 1965. Just gross and grimy-looking. Smells like a gymnasium.

One of the most unique places you will ever see. The building is shaped like a sombrero! Classic style theater. Great acoustics! Performing a magic show here was so much fun and the crew was very helpful. Must see while in El Paso!

Very long row. If you sit on the ends, youll be letting people pass by all night. Narrow exits. good views from 2nd tier.

Review №57

I very like the venue. However, I was on the balcony and for any reason the roofs teathre was decorated with some flashy garlands than did not let me see the complete stage and the big screen.

Review №58

The theater is a medium sized venue that serves the community by providing a place for various performers to ply their crafts. We went to see Jerry Seinfelds stand-up comedy routine and it was excellent. The only complaint I have about the theater is that the seats are on the smaller side and do not recline so sitting for long periods of time can become uncomfortable.

Review №65

Extremely old and .small venue for concerts

Da
Review №66

Not a good place to see a concert. Pet peeve is that each aisle in the tier has access only at the extreme ends so people are constantly making you get up so they can get past you.

Ro
Review №67

Great venue. Seats were offset enough so someone with a cowboy hat in front of me would not obstruct my view

da
Review №68

Very poor staff was rude and did not want to help. The family restrooms do not even have changing area for infants which is unacceptable. High recomend another venue for future events

Tr
Review №69

If anyone leaves their seat for a drink, everyone will notice. Ruined a good show for me. When people leave youre row, a bright light will shine in your eyes. Seats are too close to the seat in front of you. Passer- by-ers are annoying. Just stay in your seat.

Review №77

Spend the extra money to avoid the balcony - the acoustics in the balcony are terrible. We figured since we were seeing a comedian it didnt matter we couldnt really see. But there are only big speakers down by the stage. We left halfway through a Kevin Hart show () because we couldnt hear anything.

Was disappointed. ..DeBlasio spent most of the concert letting the band play their solos...I understand hes trying to give them their moment of glory but I didnt pay to hear their solos but rather payed to listen to DeBlasio...Very disappointed
