I went to a concert on Nov 7 and there was no enforcement of social distancing (6 feet between parties) and no one was required to keep their masks on. Instead, there were approx. 2 feet between parties and everyone took their masks off when seated. COVID does not disappear when you are seated (at a concert or restaurant) and having people sing with no masks on is how this virus spreads. The venue itself is nice, but their handling of COVID is abysmal.

One.ofmy.favourite venues ins city chuffed with them: its an intimate setting. An old cinema. renovated into. A music space. Bar in the lobby.is reasonably priced. Ticketing online only you arrive they have a list with your name, number Of tickets etc... Parking what you would expect on 19th street. Tickets are reasonably priced. A good choice for an intimate show. If the AC were stronger I would give 5 stars

Great show. Manage to social distance without feeling it

This is an awesome musical venue! The sound is great and there isnt a bad seat in the house! We have gone to see lots of shows there and have more shows we cant wait to see!Steve and Angie both went above and beyond on our last visit with their kindness and took care of us perfectly because of a mistake I made!Thank you Steve! Youre awesome!Thank you Angie! Yall are the best! See you soon!

The staff at The Heights Theater work hard to make sure you enjoy the artist you came to see! Friendly staff, great bar, and a nice little venue to relax and enjoy music. Theres parking at the theater as well as across the street at Southern Dental. At first I was confused because the event said parking at Southern Dental anytime after 6, but their sign in the lot said theater parking anytime after 7. All was good though.

Small intimate venue. Almost like seeing a show in your own living room. Sound quality is good. Seating is VERY LIMITED. Perhaps 75 seats at most. Standing space on the floor will accommodate maybe 250 or so. If you see a band on their schedule that youre interested in, this is definitely the place to see the band UP CLOSE. I just saw The Black Lillies and Jonathan Tyler& The Northern Lights. Fantastic show. I plan on going back for sure.

Quality shows and performers in a relatively small venue, pretty good acoustics, decent bar, friendly staff. Some shows are seated, some standing. I wish the let you download tickets ahead of time to streamline entry and transfer, especially since you have to pay the online processing/convenience fees anyway.

Nice little intimate theater for a concert. Drinks were reasonably priced and the show we went to had seats for everyone. Only slight negative was seats were a little short on padding, so they got fairly uncomfortable by the end of the night. Would definitely go back

Easy entry process, friendly staff, and drinks werent watered down! We had standing room only tickets and they were perfect. The stage was the right size for the venue....not a large crowd with a small stage. Oh, and clean restrooms!! Had a great time!

Honestly? Houstons best kept secret venue. Went to see The Paper Kites last night and the venue is perfect for an intimate concert with whomever is playing. The space is beautiful and historic with a strong sense of age to remind visitors of the timeless Heights aesthetic. Parking is free and bountiful and the workers are pleasant, warm, and welcoming. I only wish I knew more of the acts that play here! But because I love this venue so much, I might just find myself back here for the heck of it. Cannot wait to return!

My man, Robert Cray! This musician rocks my soul! The venue was great! Small enough that every spot was a great view! Bartenders were pleasant. They served quick and tasty beverages! Parking was easy. Will definitely attend other events there.

Small venue ripe with potential to connect with the entertainment. Looking forward to upcoming interior renovations. My personal wish is for movie theater buttery goo dispenser to drown the otherwise dry popcorn with. Assorted flavored salt that is already available is appreciated!

Such a retro theater feel which was great. Staff in all areas were professional and helpful. 4 stars is for drink prices. $6 for a bottle of beer. $12-$15 for a regular drink. That was a bit disappointing after $50 ticket price. Eat before you go here. Entertainment area was intimate. So glad for the experience.

Intimate live music venue in north Houston located in an old neighborhood movie theater. Bars located upstairs and downstairs. Small food selection. Most seating is not reserved, so dont be late. Great place to see live music in H-Town.

Great! Drink selection had a good variety, I even found a new favorite drink! The venue and bathrooms were nice and clean. It was a great time!

Cool old school venue. Seats upstairs are not great on the second row and bad mixed drinks. Restrooms were out of TP.

Drove in from out of town to see Joy Williams and would definitely come back here again! This venue holds a good number of people in it and you still have a good amount of space to walk around to the rest rooms and bar area.

Place isnt big but good for little private concerts. Saw Pedro Capo there and enjoyed the place

Lost dog street band had a great show here

I have been to several shows at this location and the performers have been average to very good. There is an occasional problem getting the microphones balanced and satisfactory. The tickets are pricey and the drinks overpriced. The staff however has been consistently rude and stressed. It seems like overall they don’t smile and seem to dislike the patrons and their job. The staff spoils the experience for what could be a great venue and music show. Young folks with attitude on the staff and mature adults looking for an entertaining evening.

Great small music venue. Not a bad view of the stage in the whole place.

Favorite venue to see a show in Houston with the balcony is open. You get such a great view of any band and the sound quality is astounding. Drinks are a bit over priced, but still tolerable. Parking is available across the street, too!

This is a gorgeous place. A friend of mine had an extra ticket for the Bacon Brothers show so I took the invitation. The exterior has a vintage feel and the inside was clean and welcoming. There is reserved seating right in front of the stage, chair seating on majority of the floor, balcony seats, annddd seating towards the back. Even though the chairs are close to each other, I wasnt uncomfortable. It kind of gave you the chance to talk to your neighbors more. Great show, the sound was superb, and I cant wait to go back.

This place is fantastic.The acts and atmosphere are outstanding.The staff is very friendly.I have seen over 10 shows here and they have all been very enjoyable.I would recommend this place to anyone who wants to see an artist in an intimate setting.

Very cool place to see your favorites! Great time at The Church.... 29 years later, I saw them again!

A great small venue where you can feel a part of the experience from every seat. Love the lobby with bar. Folding chairs for seating are not the most comfortable but a great experience overall.

Saw blind pilot here. Really loved the show. Fantastic little venue. They had some electrical issue that delayed the show, but it was so very worth it.Will go back

Beautiful experience I got to watch the Waltrip Bands perform. Also Mayor Turner and Mattress Mack paid the students a visit. It was a great night !

Really great venue for live music.

Interesting mix of bands. We found two that we absolutely love to nights in a row (but the rest of the years schedule wasnt anyone we knew) just the right size for small-medium bands. Second floor lets you sit, not crazy expensive. Excited to go again.

Amazing show and venue @jamestownrevival

I love the venue, the location, the ambiance. My major complaint is with the consistency of the sound quality. It is a bit hit or miss. Sometimes the low end is missing, sometimes its muddy, and sometimes its perfect. Since times the vocals are over saturated, and sometimes they are over powering the rest of the mix. Please go to this venue, it is really a great place to catch a show, but I really hope the sound gets better.

One of the best music venues in Houston. It is the perfect blend of large size and coziness. It is large enough for big music acts to come through and play it while still being small enough to always provide a great, intimate experience. Sometimes it is a bit difficult to get a drink due to line length. I usually buy an extra when I am at the bar but they should really increase their serving capacity.

Such a great venue to catch a show. Really not a bad spot in the place. Up close and personal.

Nice and small, with decent acoustics.But its feels odd (glass on bathroom door?) and forced. Another gentrified building in the Heights, not very authentic.

Great restored old theater. Intimate, good sounds, great staff, and a wonderful place to hear live music. There shows are so diverse so there are many choices for our next visit.Go with a date... Get a couple of couples together... Just a night out for friends... It all fits the bill.Cant wait to go back.

Been here for several shows. Had every ticket option they have. Ive found that (for me) the GA option is not my favorite. Its really awkward if you dont get there early enough to grab a seat. Reserved tables & the suite ticket options are the best if you want a guaranteed spot to sit & enjoy the show.The staff is always friendly. There are no drinks permitted outside so if you are a smoker or just want some fresh air during a break in the music, you have to leave your drink unattended inside. Not that I dont feel safe at the Heights Theater, but Id rather just take it with me. Parking isnt an issue normally. There is a bank a block down that allows you to park there (after they close) for no fee. Im sure Ill be back to enjoy live music soon!

Awesome quaint place. Need to serve bloody Marys

Great sound. Not a bad seat in the house.

My favorite size for a concert venue (~500-1k), and this is among the nicer versions Ive been to of that size. Good beer selection, liquor bar appears reasonably well stocked. Well be back for anything were interested in, and some speculative ones too...

Excellent small venue for seeing your favorite Band up close .

Great venue, great location, friendly staff, and ample (free!) parking. Dont miss a chance to go to a show here!

Great venue to hear music. First rate bar. Totally enjoyed our first visit

Great little venue. I hadnt been since they remodeled it all. Sound level is very good, I didnt feel like I couldnt hear for the next two days after seeing a show. There is seating on the terrace and standing on the main floor. I like that they keep the bar out of the show area.

Beautiful old theater space with good sound and sightlines. Would definitely go back.

What an intimate venue and Zack and the staff are amazing. We had the privilege to see the Devon Allman Project there.

S.P. Waltrip HS had an amazing jazz performance to kick off the holidays! The staff was amazing and great service

Amazing venue with a great atmosphere. Will definitely go back when we have the chance to!

Really great venue for music at a personal and up close level.

Intimate and comfortable. Look forward to next event at this venue.

Venue was nice and the sound was great. Bartenders were fast and very friendly. Would come back again soon

Fantastic small theatre, a hidden gem. The acoustics were wonderful. It appeared that there was not a bad seat in the place. Staff could not have been nicer. There is also a bar and some limited but good and reasonably priced food which you can order at the bar. (If you are vegetarian, ask them to convert the cheese & meat plate to an all cheese plate - they are quite accommodating.) Water was free which was nice. Free parking very close too. Neighborhood seemed safe. We look forward to returning.

Great venue for any type of music you enjoy.

Great seating especially in balcony. Always enjoy catching our favorite musicians here.

I actually traveled from Oklahoma to this venue for a concert and boy was I surprised. This is probably the best venue I have had the pleasure of going to. It is a clean venue with polite staff that has a great atmosphere. The venue is split into two floors with the pit being on the first and the second floor having seating around the edge of the main room with great views of the stage. It is also a smaller venue leading to a more personal connection with the artist on stage. Brilliant place and I will return if I get a chance.

My sisters and i saw Big Bad VooDoo Daddy.They were off the charts!! The crowd was great, everyone had a great time. I love how the old theater gives you the feeling that you just stepped back in time. Cant wait to go back.

The almost always have good, intimate shows. Plus, the heights is a cool area to walk around before/after the show.

Excellent venue. Not a bad seat in the house. Multiple full service bars with reasonable prices.

There was not any food options for me (they were out of thier hummus plate,not even a bag of chips) they have an extensive craft beer/drink selection yet no list and the bartenders acted sad to be working and not happy to help. The ladies behind me had thier phone screens on filming the entire time which made it hard to concentrate on the show. The sound system went out and so Gary Nicholsen played acoustic,luckily he saved it. Ray whylie hubbard was awesome,however we wont be back to the heights. Bougie older people doing whatever they please ruined it for us along with the lack of organization inside the venue.

Pretty nice venue. The staff is nice. Drinks are regular price. This place has a slightly different feel than other venues, cant really describe it though, like a different atmosphere..

Have been to many performances here...wonderful experience every time. Excellent acoustics and great view from every seat. My only regret is not coming here sooner.

This place is a Houston treasure. Great acts, intimate venue, passable food and drinks and amazing acts for a great price.

I love small music venues like this one and Heights didnt disappoint my expectations. It is an old movie theater from what I understand. There are table seats up front then general admission seats, there are also gallery seats in the balcony. Anywhere you sit would be a good view honestly it just depends how close you want to be. I saw Trevor Hall there and the energy was perfect for that show. There is a bar that had decent prices on drinks for a venue.

Saw the black lillies here, was a great show. Enjoyed the venue as well. Planning on going back for other shows soon

Comfy environment and great performers all the time

Perfect place for concerts in Houston The venue has great accoustics, not big. NIce bar outside of the concert loung. Great artist performing year round. No need to bring tickets printed, they do guest list and ID!

I adore this venue for live performance. Perfect size and lovely staff.

Great small venue. No obstructions to the stage. 2nd floor has seating.

Charming mid sized venue. Great margaritas . I dont think theres a bad seat in the house. Fun place. I look forward to coming back.

I went there on Sat. Aug. 18 to see Bruce Robison and Kelly Willis. The venue was amazing. Clean, spacious, comfortable, excellent sound and lighting. Great view of the stage and the show was great. Thanks for booking this act! Staff was polite, helpful and friendly. Zak was especially gracious to answer my questions. Great job folks--A plus for effort and delivering a fine entertainment experience. So glad I went--hope others will go and check it out. They are booking great acts so check their website often.

I love this venue. There is a decent sized open area in front of the stage for standing, when they dont have tables out, or you can pay a little extra and sit upstairs in the reserve gallery. Theres a bar both up and downstairs, so you rarely have to wait long. Overall a great place to take in a concert.

Fabulous venue for am intimate show.

Love this place for a quiet, low-key night out. Recently saw a folk band perform here and it was perfection. Small venues for music are the best.

First time here to see Kishi Bashi, staff and venue was great, very Home-y

Great theatre & very friendly staff.

The good: Great artists. Decent sound and acoustics. Comfortable seats with excellent sight lines. Convenient location. Lovely restored building. Smooth and friendly pickup of “will call” tickets. The bad: Was asked to leave mezzanine seating area shortly after show ended (Monty Montgomery, 8/9/2018). Confronted employee about directive and was directed to speak with “manager” downstairs. Employee spoke with manager before I arrived downstairs. Upon meeting the “Manager” and as I started to share my experience, I was asked to leave. I proceeded to walk out the front door and to “add insult to injury “, manager asked security to escort me out. I’ve never been asked to leave a bar, restaurant, theater or any public place in my life. Completely bizarre, unexpected and “off the charts” inappropriate response and behavior on the part of the manager. I didn’t raise my voice, nor use profanity and only consumed one adult beverage which was before start of show. I’ve only experienced this kind of behavior in the past from people with mental health challenges and/or drug abuse problems. My suggestion to the Ownership of this theater is to take a good look and consider other options for this position. Looking at the other reviews, it doesn’t appear this is an isolated incident.

One of Houstons great music venues with an incredible lineup of performers!

Awesome venue! Very intimate... not a bad seat in the house. Balcony seats are nice because they have a private bar with no lines. Shows start promptly so don’t be fashionably late!

Turnpike troubadours were amazing and Matt the Electrician was an added pleasant surprise. The venue was so quaint and small enough to feel personal but big enough to hold a good crowd. Drink prices were about what you would expect for a night out.

Well during white linen in the heights and all I can say it was nothing that special

Love this place!! Strong pours!!! Tab Benoit show was FANTASTIC last night!!!

We saw BJ Barham here in February 2019. I bought tickets for the upper balcony and that made a world of difference for us. We could easily see the stage and the sound was good. We had drinks and an appetizer at the upstairs bar. Both were good. It is a great, historical building with good acoustics and clean, updated bathrooms.

This is a wonderful facility with an awesome staff.

Beautiful venue for a wedding. Love the art

Very nice venue, one of my favorites. When compared to others around Houston, the shows at the heights are usually a little nicer dress. Feels a lot like “date night” for some shows rather than going to a concert. Clean bathrooms and usually the artists sign merch after the show.

White Linen Night in the Heights. DJ playing dance music.

Saw the Milk Carton Kids. Loved the entire experience. The venue is small and intimate - - every seat is a great one!

Totally Awesome... I went to see Daley finally and was happy with the venue and services. See you guys soon and keep up the good work.

Took in the Son Volt concert at the Heights theater. Its a great venue for a concert with pretty cozy confines, and mostly decent sight angles.

First time in awhile visit. Henry Rollins had a full house with standing room only (in fact the walls were lined with those standing). The show was great. The only down was the temperature. I was ether hot or cold, never seemed to find that balance. I admit, I preferred the cold over the hot.

Awesome show and venue!

If you like small places and good music. Gotta go. We sat in the balcony. First come first served on seats

Saw Aunty Donna here back in February. It was a fantastic show and the venue added to the experience. It was cozy and well designed. The bar was fairly priced at well. Im looking forward to my next trip to Houston if I can stop here again. I recommend this venue.

This is always an awesome, intimate venue for any performance. Great staff, fast bar service so you can get back to the show, and great lineups.

A really cool small venue. They have out water before the concert which was great.

A bit conflicted here. The venue itself is good, the acoustics is decent, and its right-sized. The flip side if it is that the seating on the balcony is configured badly. The front row is where you want to be if you are not facing the stage. The row of high chairs is positioned such that the view of the stage is marginal, and will be blocked by the people in the front. Air-conditioning is many areas is quite anemic.

Went there to see Mike & the Moonpies, had an absolute blast. Its in an old movie theater that has been refurbished from the ground up, but they saved old architectural details and kept the 1930s movie projector. The general manager is very friendly and a wealth of knowledge and passion for the theater who is glad to tell you all about it. Will be going back for sure!

We came here tonight to see a long time friend, Peter Bradley Adams perform. We ordered two single Pinot Grigio and two single Bourbons. So the performance was pleasant of course. The female bartender was subpar. Not only was her attitude disgusting, but she overcharged us two drinks. The owner threatened to call the police on us when we complained of the service. Omg so we are very normal everyday people and we dont like subpar service and when we called out the abusive language of the bartender we were threatened. This place is a joke. The service is horrible. Go somewheres else.

Like this place. Informal setting but nice. Bar with drinks permitted in seating area. And look for designated parking in some of parking lots of nearby businesses. They have actually posted signs saying Parking for The Heights Theatre after ... PM. We had a slight misunderstanding about our tickets (forgot them and the had misspelled the name) but it was quickly and politely resolved to our satisfaction.I am looking forward to our next visit.

Great place for a show. Not one bad seat.
