Only went here 1 time, but it seems like a great place. We saw Silversun Pickups. It was easy to get in, no waiting. Staff was nice. The sound was great! We went on the floor where its standing only, but there is a mezzanine that has seating. Wasnt crazy with a bunch of idiots out of control, Im sure for other acts it may be different. Great place for a show..

Awesome place. Hopefully I get to go back and do more things there.

Modest Mouse was excellent. Drinks are on the high side. Friendly staff that gets you in quickly. Sound is excellent!

Old architecture is my jam! This theater is a fun venue for concerts. You get to be up close and personal to the band. Also, it frequently has all ages shows whiçh is nice due to the variety of people. Definitely worth a visit if youre in town. Also, its near local pubs etc if youre not done in by the concert.

It was a great show and I had a good time except for the line to get water. It took 20 minutes just to get bottled water. Overall a great experience.

My first time in this iconic theater. Saw The Marcus King band. Loved the venue, lived the band, lived the people. Will be in my radar for shows from now on

Hands down the best tech n9ne concert to date!!! Amazing time and experience.

Great space for music events, fun atmosphere and good outside patio space.

Went to see Big Boi from Outkast there and had a blast!!!

As a patron its an Incredible venue, professional front of house staff, decent bar with screens of the stsge & a great sound system.As a performer the stage hands were very helpful & organized. I have to give them 2 stars though because whomever the house manager was the night the band Im in played we were treated very unprofessionally & as though we were not welcome. Ive been playing regularly for 6+ years & have been treated better at every show. Cheers

What a great venue! This was our first concert since moving to Eugene. Love the lounge area with screens of the auditorium. We didnt explore up to the balcony, but there is a second bar up there. We cant wait to come back!

We watched Hobo Johnson and the Lovemakers here and it was so good! Honestly, that is the best sound system I have heard in a venue this size!

Staff is always amazing, great venue and awesome shows. I am always treated well and everyone is helpful in getting me situated with my wheelchair.

I was sceptical about seeing a show here because I saw there were seats in most of the photos. Nothing, in my opinion, ruins a good show like being confined to a seat or trying to boogie in the space around it. Luckily the folks at McDonald Theater must feel the same as the seats were removed for the show I attended and there was plenty of room to get down. On top of that, the slanted floor had a hidden benefit - my vertically challenged wife wasnt at a disadvantage - she could more or less see over the folks in front of her and didnt feel the need to drag us to the front through the undulating mass of people.

Very awesome venue for a concert have seen Silver sun pick ups here and looking forward to see Tame Impala and then later Tech N9ne sometime this year!

Great venue for live music. My entire family had a great time!

A nice venue in an old theater. We could get right up to the front for the main act. Very chill crowd.

I always have such a good time when I come here! Such a fun venue!

Intimate setting for concerts in a beautiful venue. The sloped floor is rough on my back, but I love everything else about the venue. I wish more shows I liked were booked here.

The sound is always too loud for the venue and the music, better understanding of the venue acoustics by the sound engineers would give a better experience...

Nice sized venue. Lucky to have them. I like that the drinks are reasonably priced. $2 for water is fair ...some concert halls charge $5. Not a bad seat in the house and acoustics are pretty good. Ive been to at least 20 shows there over the years and never really had an issue.

It was clean and the employees were friendly, but having to stand for almost 4 hours while listening to the groups was a bit much.

Great place for a show! The staff was super friendly, the crowd was great and sound quality was awesome.

Very comfortable and easy in and out. Need more women bathrooms. The line never was less than 10 minutes

Great little venue. You are up close and personal with the performers.

Great concert with Jordan Davis!

Great venue! Excellent service and great music.

Great venue that host fantastic shows with a wonderful staff and good beer.

Excellent venue. Helpful and friendly staff 5 stars.

Super fun, small but intimate venue. Being able to be up close to a band and not feel piled up is awesome! Bar area was nice to have but the fact security was nice and allowed reentry was the selling point. If anything planning out your bathroom time is important, since there is limited space.

Great venue. Lots of history. But because its not in a big city sometimes its slightly underwhelming. Bring your friends more the merrier in this venue.

Super nice and clean theater. Love the sloped floor..give us poor short people an equal shot at a good view! The staff was super friendly and helpful. At first I was confused about not being able to take drinks down onto the main floor, but as the night progressed and I realized I wasnt kicking empty cans and cups and wasnt sticking to the floor, I grew to appreciate it.

I had the BEST time of my life.

Such great acoustics and for those that love to dance this is the place. I was dancing thrill they closed the doors! Bar, multiple restrooms, easy and quick entrance. Great experience!

From staff at the doors, to the sound on the floor, this place is a great experience. 10/10 Im going again when someone is there I want to see.

Great venue. Well run and low in drama.

I wont tickets to a show there on the radio. It was a magician so I brought my son with me. I am disabled and use a walker which i could not get to our seats in the balcony. I told staff and they went right to work, finding us another seat and even walking with me there to make sure I was ok. Our seats were on the floor and we had a perfect view. They even let my son go ahead of others to meet the show performers. They were so kind and accommodating, and I didnt even pay fro my tickets! It was an amazing experience and Ill definitely be going back.

Saw the dirty heads! Nice venue.

I liked the concert that happend here

Good venue but few bathrooms and super tight rows

Love love love this concert theater! Downtown can always be kind of a rough experience. When it comes to a having a great concert, I am always excited when they decide to book at the McDonald Theater.

This is a great show location. I like the atmosphere. Theres not a lot of exit room on the way out so you gotta shuffle out like a Hurd of cattle. But the staff was great. The bathrooms were clean even towards the end of the show. The sound from the balcony is great but not as good down below. I look forward to more shows here as long as they keep on booking talented musicians!

Good atmosphere. Everywhere you stand you can see the stage.

One of my favorite small-ish concert venues! Very similar in size to the Roseland Theatre in Portland.

Been here for several shows! Has a good size without feeling disconnected from the acts. They are still one of the largest in town so they get all the performers not quite large enough to fill Matt Knight. Gramatik at McDonald still goes down as one of the greatest things that Ive experienced, second only to seeing a Ganja White Knight and Zeds Dead sell out Cuthbert on a fall evening. If you see something here you want, dont hesitate to come!

My husband & I purchased Row 4 seat 3 tickets months ago. We thought we were getting great seats....Found out these seats do not exist...they ripped them out & you have to stand. Horrible for us because we are both 60 & I had a boot on for an ankle fracture & he is handicapped with 2 previous knee replacements. Just a heads up ...unless you like to stand & dance. It was horrible for someone with an aircast because there are no railings to hold on to to climb all the stairs to get a seat in the balcony. The staff were completely unsympathetic to our handicapped status. I felt like a sitting duck because I could not traverse the stairs unless I had a hold of someone. We moved here from Phoenix & the IKEA theater in Mesa puts this place to shame. They went out of their way to help me when I had a fractured foot there. Shame on this place is all I have to say.

Great guitarist Robin Trower

Best night Ive had in a while. Saw Young the Giant in concert. Legs hurt after standing for so long. But thats just part of the experience!

This is lovely old building, and a nice theater.

Standing and dancing on the floor with seats up in the balcony. Although it was rebuilt after a fire in the late 1990s the layout reminds me of the Georgia Theatre in Athens Georgia which was stop for somebody famous fans going through Georgia. Sound system was good

Best venue for concerts in Eugene

Amazing Atmosphere.... (get it?)

Sound ok, show was good, can only drink upstairs and in bar, if it is an all ages show. There is an area to smoke outside the bar area as well that is covered with chairs and porta potty.

Cool Venue, would have liked seats

I lived the concert and also I used to go there as a kid for Saturday matinees.

Been to some awesome concerts here

My favorite venue in Eugene, quick entry. great location. bathrooms are always clean and easy to get to. bar with TVs showing the stage is next level, good drinks, fun bar tenders and comfortable seats, beautiful stage and balcony.

Beautiful historic building right in the heart of downtown Eugene. People watching for days

Atmosphere was amazing as always!

I went during a Weird Al Yankovic concert and the sound was terrific. It has a cozy atmosphere and great prices on concessions. The seats are comfy and you can always see the stage because of how the seats are oriented.

Historical venue is awsome.

Great concert venue. Friendly staff.

I have been going to McDonald theater all my life. As kid and teenager lots of memories catching a movie there with my Mom (1941) and last movie I saw there was Twins with my oldest sister in 88, yikes. Now its more memories and reminisce everytime I go to a show there and have seen many, many shows there. Last one was Piff freaking hilarious. Thanks McDonald Theater. ***Please Support Your Local Businesses***

Went to see Hannibal Buress, pretty cool place

If you want a good concert venue with tickets you can actually afford, this is your place. Also a very nice bar and smoking patio built in, and public transportation right next door.

Great sound and nice options for viewing the performers. Staff was helpful and good at there jobs. Long lines for drinks and bathroom, about a 20 min wait.

Upstairs is 21+ which I really appreciate. Plus, the acoustics up there are Amazing! Really won me over. Great shows all the time but tickets are a bit to a lot overpriced in my opinion.

Love this place. Front row balcony! Easy walk to food and drink and right by the bus station.

Pretty good but where were the french fries?

One of the best places in Eugene to see modern touring artists. Lobby is small, but the stage and balcony provides plenty of space. Snacks available for purchase. Full bar with ID.

Great venue. Not a huge fan of a separate lounge room for consuming adult drinks

Would be 5 starts if the beverage prices were reasonable. But great staff and atmosphere for any show.

We love going to Reggae shows. We love the staff .

Very fun wish they only had bands like Switch Foot who performed there.

Staff is very reasonable

Gravy was amazing, the venue is always a good time

Super chill, friendly venue with a great vibe!

A classic Eugene venue. Awesome staff, usually decent sound for a hall of its size, and a great balcony seating option for 21 and over. Shows vary widely and cater to a vast range of music etcetera. Decently priced refreshments both alcoholic and non, especially for a music venue. The building is historic and shows its age a little, but its a very nice room to see a show.

Our first time attending a show at this place we seen Robin Trower building is really nice very big and the performance was fantastic.

We really enjoyed seeing Weird Al here in concert. We had front row balcony seats and the view was perfect. (The balcony had short railing so dont sit here if youre afraid of heights) The bathrooms were clean and you could still hear the show if you had to get up.Take caution outside the theater as there are a lot of homeless or beggars who loiter.

A fun experience

First time at this 1925-built theatre and its beautiful! I saw Weird Al and Emo Philips and the acoustics were fantastic for both music and spoken words. Theres not a bad seat in the house.

Its a rockin venue, just wish I werent so short so I could see the stage better.

Love this venue for shows.

Sound quality was great for Robin Trower. I really had a great time.

This was an awesome venue, my experience was perfect saw the Dirty Heads and have no complaints except the line to the bathroom that was insane!

Cool old theater, Ive seen some good shows here. The seats in the balconies are extremely cramped. I stand at 6ft, and I felt wedged between my neighbors, unable to shift in my seat because of having so little leg room, and unable to spread my legs far enough to make space for myself. If youre able to get floor seats, or dance in the isles I recommend that

Awesome show daekstar

Neat place with good shows. Drinks are a bit pricey. The venue is showing its age.

I love the way theyve taken this historic movie theater, which is a unique treasure, and made it into a great concert venue. The one thing is that there is basically no backstage, because the space used to be for movies, so its hard to work. But from an audience perspective, its just a wonderful place to see live music.

Small, clean, well run theater.

Just loved this place.

Great theater with good sound and excellent staff! Piff the magic dragon was awesome!

First time at the acoustic bluegrass jam and ill be returning every Tuesday from now on. Top notch pickers and an excellent bar with friendly service. Great venue!

Great acts. Awesome decor, and great smoking patio. Expensive drinks is the only bad, but what venue is not. Devil Makes 3 was stellar, and Get the Led out great to. Enjoy....

Are great venue to see a show.

Saw Tom Segura here. I love the venues charm but it could use a bigger or more organized bar setup and I hope they had an ADA bathroom because the one I used had stairs to get in to.

A fun place to see anything.

Great venue. Been going to shows here my whole life.

Saw the welcome to night Vale show all hail the glow cloud and had an amazing time. The theatre itself was small and clean but the bathrooms were a little janky.
