I went to church here. My sister in law brought me and my husband. We loved it! It felt like home,the churchs name was Adventure Church.

Love this theater! Small theater so you feel as if you are close to the stage. Has a cool little bar and a few tables off to the side, sometimes there are pop-up bars there that have some really cool themes!Bathrooms are a little small so I would recommend going right before intermission if you can or right when intermission is over. But love this theater!

It was Amazing! Grew up in the Tower district and the theater takes me back to my childhood. Watched the Fab Four performance of the Beatles. They were fantastic! What a show.

The theater was beautiful. The seats and aisles are roomy. There are plenty of nearby restaurants. The bathrooms are small considering the size of the venue. I would definitely recommend and go there again.

Ive over-enjoyed countless performances in this beautiful theatre. An historically significant landmark transports guests through its doors to a preservation of the 1940s. The Tower Theater is an intimate venue, which is the namesake of the Tower District which its neon beacon has illuminated for nine decades. Occasionally under promoted, world-class acts net 30% or less of it capacity in attendance. We can fix this!

The location is walkable if youre in the area. The theatre is quaint, cozy, comfy and quite lovely. There were a lot of students there when we went and they were mesmerized by the performance! Im really looking forward to Shines! next production.

Well, The Tower Theater is a local landmark and is treasured for its history and the groups and shows that play there, Rather Than because its a nice theater! It is old and the seats are that scratchy velour stuff and the bathrooms are Way Too Few.But we happily go there anyhow - it is unique and of course is the Anchor for the trendy, artsy Tower District.I wouldnt be eager to take visiting relatives (for example) there, unless they were just Tower People anyhow.

Zeperallas are awesom. To appreciate the quality sounds you have to be there. These four girls individually are very talented. They had everyone off there seats except me i was standing on it...lol. I would definently would see them again . They did a girl band proud and im willing to bet Led Zepplin are impressed to. I wish them luck. Thanks Tower Theater for having the best rock show in Fresno Ca.

We got tickets several months ago at the box office, as we were having trouble securing them online. The gentleman that helped us was very accomodating. The Brothers Four was a great concert for the 60 and over crowd!

We saw Leftover Cuties at this intimate venue and it was magical. It made me think of all the people that won’t experience an amazing show because it is so off the beaten path. Find it if you can.

The show was wonderful very entertaining.. The stinging was GREAT!! Everyone in my party was amazed! My son keeps telling me thank you mom, for the show. As for the place we ate.. OH it was good.... we have leftover for lunch... the garlic cheese fries with the sauce yum.. the Italian salad was a mountain of goodies, the bruschetta a meal in itself....The caloze delicious and last but not least the pastrami stromboli WOW!! WE had a wonderful time.... only thing bad the tower area has some of the most filthiest sidewalks I have ever seen...to bad they dont keep the area cleaner...

So much has changed in the Tower District, Good Things.... easy parking on a Sat night,great crowd, and the Tower Theatre was a great venue for the Jazz Christmas concert. This historical venue has very good seating, acoustically sound.. cozy setting & the friendliest greeters you will ever meet. My 20th time going there & YES, I would go again!

Seen Y&T here had a good time, seats are pretty small and the drinks are ridiculously expensive not a very big venue though more low key

Le
Review №74

Beware!!!! The security is weak because management has no back bone!!!! Dont bother with front row tickets because everyone can stand in front of you. Dont bother getting high prior to the show because they allow lighting up in the theatre. Dont bother buying your alcohol there, I saw more flasks than in liquor store. The music might have been great if the sound system was optimal. Theres no refunds for not being satisfied so get ready NOT to get what you paid for.

Review №75

Ive been several times over the years. Ive sat from row H to row V and many points in between. I have never been disappointed. Honestly, if there is a bad place to sit (or in my case tonight, stand) Ive never found it. The atmosphere is cozy and inviting. Great for concerts and plays with an eclectic selection of events. I like it better than any other venue in Fresno.

Saw the famous ukulele player Jake here in 2013. I recommend you get tickets early because its not stadium seating. We sat pretty far in the back and could hardly see the performance. If you see a show here get tickets early and close upfront.

We saw the Academy Award nominated shirts. This is a classic old movie theater. Seats are classic: small, not cramped, but not up to modern standards. The restroom was small, but clean.
