This was my first time to the Florida Theatre. We very much enjoyed the show and loved the theatre. Would go back again!

Beautiful old historical theater. Sound quality is very good. The ushers are excellent at helping you find your seats. Its my favorite venue for music, comedy, and movies and shows.

Every time Ive gone has been an absolute joy. From Four Chellos to Buddy Holly and Roy Orbison Holligram they are amazing and have themed drinks for every occasion.

Great smaller venue to see a concert. Lots of history and great acoustics. Only real downside are the tight aisles and late patrons. Still one of the better places to score a great show.

We had seats front row on balcony for Scott Stapp. Perfect unobstructed view of the stage. Sound was good, lighting was good. Great show.

Sinbad was awesome and the theater treated us to a wonderful show. Ive attended many shows there and never been disappointed. Next...America and Pablo Cruise concert.

Beautiful building from the 1920s. Such a wonderful era in architechture. Elvis played a couple of legendary shows here in 1956, amongst his first solo headlining shows. The city issued a warrant on Elviss arrest if he was to go forward with his inappropriate bodily movements during his performance. It feels like this was defining moment for the venue and the whole town actually. Everywhere theres Elvis memorabilia.

The Florida Theatre is always a beautiful venue. It is currently decorated for the holidays. I was disappointed with the Christmas concert by Home Free. I paid for a Christmas concert, but they performed only seven holiday songs in two hours. The rest was their normal concert. Very disappointed with the lack of Christmas in the concert (including lighting and wardrobe choices).

The absolute best venue in North East Florida to see a concert. There is plenty of parking. Easy entry from the front and side doors. However what makes this place stand out among others is the acoustics.Even if a performer is not high on my list to see I am interested in attending if they are performing here.

This theatre is just beautiful! A historic Treasure with an amazing stage & sound! They have impressive talent visiting every year.

I thoroughly enjoy the Abba Mania show at the Florida theater. Besides the show it was really interesting to see the architecture of this building. It reminded me of the movie theaters when I was growing up right down to the seats. If nothing else you really should go out and check out the building. With it being an older building it really isnt too handicap friendly. I would go to the Florida theater again to see a show.

Was here for Sinbad. My cheeks and stomach was sore from laughing so much. And NO CUSS WORDS needed!!! Love ya Sinbad. Theatre is historical needs more leg room.

Beautiful old theater. Classic style. Great acoustics. Always has new and entertaining shows and concerts. But Needs more space in between rows of seats.

Great venue. Saw Aaron Lewis there. Section 200, row B, seats 1 and 2. Two thumbs up!

The entertainment where fine, but; too enter the theater was so discombobulated, know matter which level of seating,, there were stairs to climb. The first couple of rows of seating has some kind of structure blocking your view, stage or railings.In the lobby you dont know if youre standing in the line for the rest room or the concession stand.

Great place great view from the highest balcony they have. Air-conditioning gets five stars - you know in Florida you must have a five star air conditioner in a venue. The only reason I didn’t give it five stars because the seats are not made for grown-ups - very narrow seats and small seats. There are more comfortable seats/leg room on budget airlines. Also no ATM in the building, come prepared.

Start with beautiful, historic interior and great performances. With that out of the way, hopefully you are under 5’6 to fit comfortable into these seats. Also, you will want to be under 150 lbs. for any chance of comfortably walking through seating aisles of going into a restroom stall. Also, when seated, you will have a great view, provided you have x-ray vision to see through the person’s head in front of you. The antique seating arrangement is from the time when stadium seating was a novel idea. I will not be back until this place receives a major facelift. Stay away!

Beautiful inside! Great sound quality. Purchased tickets via ticket master and they were insanely marked up and then the seats on our printed ticket were not what we paid. Although ticketmaster screwed that up the theatre dis their best to correct it. My suggestion would be to purchase tickets straight from the theatre. Beautiful venue!

Ive been to a number of concerts and events at the Florida Theatre, and almost all have been terrific. (Probably best have been both Weird Al concerts!) Whos Live Anyway was funny, but just about should have had an explicit warning for language. It contained what I thought was an excessive amount of really quite unnecessary profanity (WAY too many F-bombs!). For me, it very much detracted from the show. Anyway, the Florida Theatre itself is a very nice venue. Its pretty crowded in the lobby and bathrooms (though theres only so much they can do about that in such an old building, and still keep the beauty and charm of such an historic place), but the theater itself is downright majestic. A beautiful place to go to a concert, and a feather in Jacksonville s cap!

Ive played in this stage, and Ive been in the audience many times over the years. This is by far the best concert venue in North Florida. The acoustics are fantastic, the staff is attentive and helpful and there isnt a bad seat in the house. Love this place.

This is one of the best places in Jacksonville to see a show! We had VIP for Rumours of Fleetwood Mac last night. I was blow away with the the whole show!

They have no food, and charge 2.00 for a .25 bag of chips. I recommend having popcorn and hotdogs. Please just get a food license.

Saw the Wild Kratts Live and it was great! My daughter loves them! As far as the theater, in my own personal opinion, they need to cater more to children when a show is playing for kids. They didnt have much at all in the way of snacks and drinks for the kids and were selling alcohol at a show for children. Pretty distasteful if you ask me. Up your game guys. You probably would of made more money for the theater if you would have been actually thinking about the children who were there to see a childrens live show. The Wild Kratts were Awesome!!!

Great old theater. Good sound and view. Cramped seating where we were for the Nutcracker and steps are pretty steep and poorly lit. I understand the theater will be remodeled and when that is done, I think things will be nicer. Still a great venue for various shows.

Historic theatre hosting contemporary performances and special events. Plenty of nearby parking on street out in paid garages. Never had a problem with ordering tickets online and picking up at will call.

A historic theater that has great concerts! Parking is also easy and cheap. Tonight we enjoyed Lords of 52nd Street and Little River Band.

Nice place for a concert. We saw Dave coz and friends. However the seats are old and uncomfortable.

Be careful booking tickets. Clicked on VIP and didnt get charged for it. At no point was it clear that what I clicked on was not VIP. Happened to many others around us in the theater

Awesome shows Lords of 52nd street and LITTLE RIVER BAND

Absolutely stunning inside! Gorgeous theatre, very friendly staff.Great view from any seat.Very reasonable drink prices, however I’m not sure if that varies based upon performer

Great place for concerts and plays. They have done a good job partnering with other locations to have more exposure. Please consider updating the hall. It needs some work

Sound proof is great,decoration is pretty decent but the theater itself looks really old, especially the chairs... I will give a 7 out 10 as a grade

Theres no such thing as a bad seat here! The theatre is beautiful, and the sound system is amazing. I love when my favorite groups play here instead of the larger venues!

Very nice experience. I enjoyed my experience for the Nutcracker as well as Art exhibit. I have not been disappointed with my experience here.

This place is tops period, the seating is like the theaters of the 506 and 606. Nothing like the later humongous sports arenas where nobody knows your name or even exist!

It was amazing! Great show, friendly staff, and beautiful theater!!! Went to see Arron Lewis!!! The only thing that wouldve made it any better wouldve been an autograph and/or picture with him!

My first visit here was to cross seeing Dennis DeYoung off my bucket list. Great atmosphere, wonderful acoustics, vintage decor makes it a fantastic for music and more! If your favorite artist comes to Jax, hope they come to the Florida Theater!

Very beautiful theater. And I got to see an amazing talk given by Professor Jordan Peterson!

We watched the Moscow ballet perform the nutcracker. Its a very beautiful historic building. Im excited to see what happens to the structure when renovations begin.

The intimacy of the theater is awesome!

Without going in to great detail, I had an issue with my child during a child-themed show. On a whim of desperation, I contacted the box office and was actually met with a real, live human being with a soul. The customer service at this venue, quite literally, astonished me. Would absolutely recommend for shows and groups every time. Excellent experience.

Came here for New Years Eve 2019. What a beautiful place. Saw J J Gray and Mofro. Great show and venue

What a great night for the 50th anniversary of Woodstock!OSteen VW was Proud to have Sponsored such a great event for Jacksonville!!!

My son loved his field trip here. We will definitely be watching their calendar for more shows.

Such a beautiful theater, with so much history. Have seen several shows there and enjoyed every one.

My favorite place in Jacksonville to see a show.

Beautiful venue! Theres no bad seats and staff super friendly!

Bernadette’s customer service skills deserve a review. She answered my call with a smile and went above and beyond to help me get the best possible seats for my sons birthday present. THANK YOU BERNADETTE!!!

I had a great time watching the rising stars. Some great acts gave their all for this event. I cant wait to see next years activities. Also, there were a silent auction, drinks, and food before the actual event began. I was able to network too.

At the event I went to it was dimly lit. Its a historical theatre, therefore, some of the beautiful architecture seemed to be depleting. The stairs to go to the upper balconies were steep, and the chairs were very small. Other larger people were having trouble fitting into them. At the enterance everyone was being frisked, scanned with a wand, and bag searched. It seemed like over kill for a 9 O clock arts awards ceremony. Alcohol was being served though, and 9am for $12 average price.

Great experience! Thoroughly enjoyed the Babershop Harmony Societys Mid-Winter contests.

Beautiful Theater!! No bad seats at all, we were on the balcony with two children and they could see perfectly! Cant wait to go again, thanks fl theater!!

Great concert with Grace Potter. She is a beautiful shining star in this wonderful theater. Thanks Grace!

Charming venue. The details in the architecture are amazing. But if youre going there to see a show, then things like the seats matter, too. There is little to no legroom for a six-footer like me. And the visibility is reduced as you go back into the balcony (the first four rows of the balcony are called the loge, but its all balcony.)

What a great theatre. It was a little tricky to find but parking was easy. The theatre is absolutely beautiful and recreated to mimic theatres of old with gold paint and carvings and stained glass windows. Acoustics were outstanding. Attendants were efficient and knowledgeable. It was a wonderful experience and we will certainly return for other shows.

The venue is AWESOME! Drinks are expensive but thats to be expected! Saw Lil Duval and he put on a great show following his hosting of the BET AWARDS. Theres not really a bad seat in the house! If you have the opportunity to catch a show in this venue I highly recommend you take advantage! Just make sure to park in a parking garage!!!!

I enjoyed looking at this beautiful scenery beautiful colors and the set-up and I loved the concert of India Arie the most of all I am so proud to be part of this I actually waited for 15-20years to see her... I wasnt able to get to see her when she came to Baltimore MD but I thankful to see her here in Jacksonville Florida. This was a blessing to see her Thank you so much.

Great experience always a good time. We have been to see Chris Botti twice, Daniel tiger LIVE and many more we love the Florida theater!

I saw Gordon Lightfoot here . The theater is beautiful. They have beer and wine to purchase and plenty of toilets . We enjoyed our concert here .

Be careful of the stairs though! My daughter took a tumble. They are old and steep.

Beautiful vintage theater. A pleasure to attend performances here. Very rare these days an historic building as a performance space. The Reverend Bob Grey famously picketed Elvis Presley here in 1956. Now THATS history!

The place was awesome.

Everyone should go to this threater it is a real beautiful building the architecture is really special.

Love the acoustics but the seats are entirely to close. Gives a whole new meaning to rubbing elbows.

Gorgeous building! I didnt have any unexpected fees for anything. The Florida Theatre website informs that there are parking garages and gives you the prices/ price ranges and their distance from the theatre for each one. We went to see Aaron Lewis, one of my all time favorite artists! The show was amazing, except everyone sitting in the rows in front of us (all 49 rows) wouldnt stay seated. They kept getting up and down, usually 5 or more people would leave a row to get a drink, theyd come back, then another group of 4 would get up and all leave to get their drinks...it was an on going thing without a break from start to finish. And you know when one person has to leave a row, then everyone else in that row needs to stand up to let them out. This made for my experience a little unpleasant. I couldnt enjoy or even see most of the show. Its not the venues fault, but it is something that may need to be fixed eventually. Maybe getting servers...honestly, anything to help keep the guests in their seats would make it an even better experience. I enjoyed how fast they got everyone in, even while wanding all guest and their purses. The guests constantly getting up and standing in front, without a care in the world was my only bad thing to say.

I have been coming to this theater myEntire life. More recently I’ve been on several field trips with my children. The staff was very accommodating to us and make it a fun place to be. And if they have beer too for non school events

Great show. He walked out on stage and didnt stop for over an hour!

Love the architecture! Ive been several times to attend many of their fun shows.

Beautiful venue. The seating is great and even sitting all the way in the back you still get a great view of the stage. Hosts some very very entertaining acts here. I saw Ghost perform at this venue and it was hands down one of the greatest shows Ive ever seen in my life. Perfect atmosphere. Great acoustics.

Ive loved this place since I was a kid, sand we went to the movies there.

Saw The Manhattans and The OJays. It was an awesome show. Gonna miss the OJays since that was their last performance in Jacksonville.

Festival of laughs was hilarious, really close seats and NO where to put drinks. Other than that it was nice

Shows have returned with limited seating.

Its a very old building so the history is interesting. However, the chairs are quite dated and uncomfortable. Overall, a good venue.

Beautiful venue with a very friendly staff!

Beautiful older theater that is well kept. It always has something different going on there.

Its been years since Ive been to the Florida theatre. I recently went to the Peppa pig show with my niece and it was wonderful. The ushers were patient great about getting everyone to their seat and since its not a huge theatre there really isnt a bad seat in the house. I would say if you are afraid of heights to stay close to the landings when choosing your seat. I do tend to get a bit of vertigo when sitting higher up along with the steeper steps going up to those seats. Other than that its definitely one of my favorite theatres.

We saw Steven wright, and the show was great! We will definitely be back️

Went to see The Nutcracker with my grandsons school. Beautiful place. And Fantastic Play...Wow!!

Florida Theatre is a great venue. The comedian, Sinbad, puts on a great show. Check him out the next time he is in town.

Beautiful example of Mediterranean revival/art deco design. A little more TLC, some small repairs here and there is all SHE needs. Acoustics are great and not a bad seat in the house.

This cozy theater is the perfect venue to enjoy anything from a band to a film (which is what I was there for).

The best venue in town for a concert. The little river band was awesome

One of the most iconic music venues in the Southeastern United States. Honestly, is an honor to even sit in the building...

This place is great and the staff is always awesome. There is not a bad seat in the house. You can really feel the history and nostalgia when you go here. Even before the show starts, just looking around at all the beautiful artwork this place has to offer is worth it.

Fantastic venue! The staff is awesome. My wife lost her phone. They were so courteous and nice as to find it and hold it for us on lost and found. Such honesty is rare these days. Especially at concerts and other entertainment venues. Thank you Kathleen for being so awesome!

Great place me and my daughter visit there for a play to see Stuart Little

This is a beautiful place! Saw Brian Regan last week and he was absolutely hilarious. The lobby of this theatre is stunning very romantic lighting.

Wonderful place, people were great. It needs some work but its great

Always a great Venue.

Saw Rhett and Link live! They were an amazing show, but Id said the Theatre could keep the AC down since it was hot all night. Friendly security and volunteer staff. As always the venue is a beautiful piece of Jacksonville history and architecture which I hope is preserved for many many more years to come.

Went to see a country concert here. The building is beautiful the staff friendly. Seating is not the best. Kind of squished and if your by the wall the whole row of people have to get up to let you out. Now to the concert the entertainers were excellent however the sound was almost distorted. I dk if i will attend an actual concert here again. Something else yes.

This is an excellent venue for live music. Convenient to downtown and hotels.

Florida Theatre is a great venue. Have been there several times for movies. This was our first time for a live performance. Unlike movie audio I thought the accoustics were lacking. Although I was comfortable in the seating, I had so much trouble understanding Sinbads dialogue that I cannot truly say that I enjoyed the performance.

This was great saw Jamey Johnson here and he put on a great show but its cool to look around at the years in that place. Its def a cool piece of history

Pricey for overrated performance. Furthermore, After the show, we were herded out and we werent allowed to re-enter to visit the gift shop. Overall, am underwhelming experience.

Saw John 5 n Queensryche Great show!!!! And to top it off the 49ers r going to the Superbowl

What a wonderful historic venue. The upcoming refurbishment will make this Jacksonville jewel shine even brighter!

Beautiful place. Awesome acoustics

Went to see a Black Violin concert there on Valentines day. What an amazing theater!!!
