Its a beautiful building, old but very detailed in its structure! Its amazing for concerts! Not too small and not too big! Just enough to enjoy the show up close and personal even from the top of the balcony! And I like that there is free coffee, and have a good bar and a good mix of foods and non alcoholic drinks. Highly recommend for a show!

What a show and what a venue! I have never not had a good time at the Moore theater. Flew 2 hours to see a show here and flew home 17 hours later. Worth it! Chill atmosphere and helpful friendly staff.

I always love the antique design of these theaters. The performance I went to see was awesome! The rows arent too close together so theres enough leg room and the chairs themselves were pretty comfortable compared to other theaters Ive been to. Was very nice in general.

It was my first time at this theater, beautiful, well preserved building, good customer service, I would give 5 stars for all that, but no air conditioning, so imagine summer hot weather, I was feeling so bad since beginning of the show, I thought I will faint, so went out, sat and employee saw that I wasnt feeling good, she gave me a bottle of water, so I went close to the entrance for fresh air. I hope management will be able to do something about air conditioning.

This is one of my favorite venues in Seattle. Quality sound, and to me, there’s nothing better than being able to sit down for a show and enjoy the music. Just remember to bring your reusable STG cup for drinks.

Went to the haters roast and had an absolute blast. It was easy to get in and mostly hassle free. Long lines in the bathroom but otherwise a great experience. Its a very steep theater so if you are in the back of the balconies, I would worry you wouldnt see much. However, we sat halfway of the middle balcony and we could see and hear great. Great venue would definitely go to another show here.

First time there. Saw/heard Spring Quartet. Best jazz concert in memory. Very nice venue. Doesnt seem like any seats would be bad. Nice to have this theater for live music with reserved seating. Definitely will be going back.

Was awesome being inside this theatre. It felt like you were inside a piece of Seattle history, being here for the PAX event it was a great experience.Seating is on the small size for what would be considered a petite person but sturdy, the audio is fantastic and the stage appeared great for this event.

First time going to this venue and I would totally do it again! No seat is a bad seat but we did have good seats. I am really short so its hard for me to see when people stand up for shows, but their flooring is slanted so it really helped give me an enjoyable experience. Really lovely venue. Look forward to attending again.

Got to see Andrew McMahon in this theater. First time in Moore Theater and first concert in a theater. It was incredible. The theater is gorgeous in side and the music sounded great. It was very loud but not in a bad way. Very clean and professional. I will definitely be keeping my eye on future events at this theater.

My wife and I have been to this location several times to see some first-rate musicals. The interior design is a throwback to the Art Deco days of Hollywood. The sound quality is amazing and the sight lines from most of the seats are great.

Great experience for our kids to go see Dan and Phil. The theater is being renovated but is not a problem.Ive attached a photo of us waiting in line during constructing to show there was no problem.Is a beautiful, old style, theater.

This is a stunning theater, with cathedral ceilings and seated rows, this is a gorgeous venue to attend events in.I went to a concert here, and although I prefer concerts to be standing, I thoroughly enjoyed the experience at the Moore. I had balcony seating, and had a fantastic view of the stage, as well as ample room surrounding my seat. Restrooms were nearby, as well as concessions that sold beer, wine, and snacks.I watched Andrew McMahon in the Wilderness perform, then have the honor of meeting him back stage afterwards... It was an unforgettable night at The Moore!

I recently saw a live show of Stuff you should know at the Moore and thoroughly enjoyed it. Well the theater itself isnt the nicest or easiest to navigate. The hall has beautiful architecture and the view even from the second balcony is quite nice. Id warn that if youre afraid of heights the second balcony is not for you

Went and saw a fun comedy show here and it was well worth the price. We left crying from laughing. I would say to get become 5 stars adding a little more food selection would help or at least telling to customers to eat before rather than our lady saying there was food inside. But other than that it was a beautiful building with an awesome show.

Review №22

Acoustics are a bit off. We went to see whose live is it. Funny show but hard to hear the lines at times. Laughter and applause really drown out the speakers. The seats are angled pretty well but if youre not tall enough you might have a problem seeing past those in front. The balcony is high up but with a decent view of the stage. Seats are very small so get ready to feel cozy. If you dont bring a bag you skip a lot of the searching but honestly it wasnt a slow line to be searched.

The Theatre is an older performance venue that has had some of the most famous performers. Though the years I have seen Pearl Jam, Train, Billy Idol, The Cult, and other type entertainment. It is a smaller venue which I prefer.

One of the best things about seeing a favorite songwriter (Mat Kearney) is attending the concert at the Moore Theater, the oldest in Seattle. Just magical to have these theaters and glad to have a chance to enjoy a great concert there.

Review №28

If your favorite band plays here, make it a point to see the show. There isnt a bad seat in the house, it feels like an intimate venue, even though it seats 1,800. There photos show the view from about mid way down from the back. This show was Walk Off the Earth and it was fantastic at the Moore Theater.

Review №29

The venue is great. Its an older building so seating is a little tight but you will have a good view even from the balcony. Parking in the designated parking garage is absurd and they only have 1 exit scanner for prepaid parking. It took me just under an hour to get out of the garage.

Cozy theater. We saw Stomp. They were excellent. Every seat on the main level is a great seat. We were about half way up, row L.

Review №33

STOMP at the Moore! Besides the festive atmosphere of lights in downtown Seattle, the Moore theater was such a positive venue. Touch of old school and not so big that you can be out of touch with the stage. STOMP was the perfect show with only the dancers, sound props, and no electronic instruments. My wife turned into a little kid again. The whole audience was engaged and delighted. Memorable.

Awesome detail and architecture. C.S. Lewis play was fantastic! Despite the 1907 wooden chairs being fit for that era at the Moore Theatre; Everything was wonderful!

Another Seattle great music venue. Built in 1907. Try the bar downstairs. Nobody really knows about it.

Review №39

Old school venue, with incredible sound. I attended a Nickel Creek concert here with a pal and the house sound was amazing. The venue is an old school theater, so they really pack you in. However, this added to the charm. Id love to go back to this Iconic venue.

Pretty theater, but there was little to no organization to the seating. A section was closed last minute and the staff didnt seem to know how to handle that. Seating became basically a free for all. The seats on the balcony are un-cushioned wood with no drink holder.

Had a great time seeing Animal Collective. Place was rocking with a bunch of art kids. Those weirdos are the best. Got a bit hot in the rafters on that warm summer day. But it will be great in the fall.

This gorgeous historic theater is a fantastic venue! Not only is it breathtaking stylistically, but it is well run and the acoustics are sublime. If you have a chance, catch the historic tour. You will get a sneak peek into the history of, not just the theater, but the cultural development of Seattle. Its two hours well spent! Highly recommended!

Went here for the boygenius show. It’s a really good venue for certain things. It was a little weird to see three rock bands here, but the sound and presentation were excellent. Would probably be better for a play or comedian, but was still a really great experience.#music

Such a great historic space. I was lucky enough to get a tour. The history of the building is really amazing. The little passageways and old underground bath house under the theater was really cool to see. I loved all of the historic memorabilia in the lobby.

Great venue for a show. Super expensive drinks, but that goes without saying for anything with the name TOM DOUGLAS associated with it. Would definitely go back for another show, and yes, Id still have a drink.

Review №52

I loved the concert but the venue is older, has no leg room, and very vertical. Do not sit on the second balcony if you have any fears of height. I like the acoustics though, the staff were also nice. Great for cheap tickets, but the bottleneck getting down screamed fire hazard to me.

Review №53

The historical aspect is interesting, but you have to step around a lot of people lying on the sidewalk and urinating against the walls before you can gain access to the theatre. The balcony is very steep and a hand rail would be helpful. I get it - dont want to block the view.

Ge
Review №54

Its a beautiful old theatre with picturesque ceilings an chandeliers. A good place to listen to music. I just saw Ray Lamontagne there and the acoustics sounded good. There are 2 balconies and you better like stairs if you use the top balcony.

Parked at the Westin and walked a few short blocks. Late parking for $10.00 was a great option. Had time to enjoy a sparkling wine and head to our seats. The show started a few minutes late, but not an issue. The bathrooms were super clean and the employees are super nice.They take credit cards for snacks and drinks, so no worries about not having cash. Great crowd, great place.

Fun intimate venue in the middle of Seattle, the parking garage was a bit hard to find while following the gps but we eventually found it on one of the side streets. Theres two levels of seating, the chairs are atleast comfortable than most places. They sell snacks, drinks both Non-Alcoholic and Alcohol. Small bathrooms. Reccomend this place to anyone who loves a good laugh without the hassle of too many people surrounding you. It was a blast getting to see Maria Bamford in person, with seats so close to the stage!!

This was an awesome place to enjoy the Stuff You Should Know Army. One little detail: if you’re taller than 6”2 (182cm), the 2nd balcony is pretty tight when it comes to legroom.Otherwise, awesome theatre for a great evening out.

Nice, intimate venue. Looks like there have been some renovations and refreshes done since I was last there. Looks good! BTW, if you have issues with heights dont get tickets in the upper balcony. Its QUITE steep!

Thank you to The Moore Theater for hosting an evening with Pete Buttigieg who is running as a Candidate for President of the United States 2020. Upon entry into the lobby I was in awe of the size and scope of the building, which continues in to the Auditorium. The artwork and architecture is intricate and beautiful, taking me back to a time of true caring and craftsmanship. My whole experience was spent on Cloud Nine, with Pete, but I do appreciate and love this building.

Review №63

I was pleasantly surprised by this cute little historical theater. I had never been to a concert here before and we had a great time! The seats are comfy and the view of the stage was great. They really didnt seem to be a bad seat in the house. Parking for the theater was quite easy, refreshments are available, and security was everywhere.*I would like to mention that if you are sitting in Box Seats it can be quite difficult to see the stage you will have to lean over the side to get a good view.We had a great time and I look forward to coming here for more concerts in the future!

Years ago I seen some great stuff here. It,s one of the great spots for the Arts we still have. We do need more like this wonderful place for those who enjoy a good time. I long for the past were things where young in a time with no cell phone,s we all found the time to have fun. Rebuilding our dreams is money well spent.

It was amazing. Except a few factors, my friend and I where too hot and she felt like she was going to puke. Adding on to that, the staff wasnt very kind. But hey, I was there to see Dan and Phil, it focus on everything negative. Bravo guys! You made it!

A center for live performance in Seattle. Historic decor and architecture, but I feel that the sound system is greatly in need of updating. Harsh and distortions abound, making musical performances a bit difficult to tolerate.

I saw Mitch hedberg at this theater. I love the antiquity of the venue, its character and holistic atmosphere it brings to the show. The size of the venue is perfect, feels like a great big show without the million of crowd making it a comfortable experience. It’s in the heart of Seattle making it a great spot to get food prior to event or hitting a night cap at close by most finest nightlife in the area.

Review №78

Its beautiful inside! But it was crazy hot & stuffy. Plus the fact that we got yelled at, begged from, & freaked out on by the cities vagrants, drunks, & druggies that lined the sidewalks the two blocks, or so, that you have to walk from the parking garage on 3rd & Stewart to the Moore Theatre. It was nice that by the time we left the Moore Theatre & were walking back to the parking garage, that the area was clear & we felt safe to walk to our car. (Since that is the parking garage that the Moore suggests you park at, I felt that it should be part of their review.)

I enjoyed my experience at the Moore Theater. However, this theater has a policy in which normal people who do not live in the state or surrounding states are not allowed to buy VIP tickets to their shows. At all. Period. Them and Ticketmaster descriminated against us for where we live and because of this we were not able to have the experience we wanted to have and were willing to pay for. The intentions of the policy are good, but the lack of accomidation, customer service, and ability to implement any solution to assist us I find to be appalling.

Great acts; getting in isnt too hard as all the buses stop nearby and bag check is quick (bring only empty water bottles!). The one thing is that leg room isnt great; tall folks and the longer-legged may be more comfortable in an aisle seat.

I would call this a cozy venue. If your are tall, expect your knees to hit the chair in front of you. The upper section still has a decent view of the stage, but its a steep climb.

We went for Pee Wee Hermans Big Adventure Anniversary tour. We arrived at 6:30 for the 7:30 show. We each purchased a very expensive beer after a long wait in line. Had to pay an extra $3.00 for cups so that we could bring them to our seats. About 45 minutes into the show, we went for a refill. Guess what? Everything is shut down. No bar service, nothing. We still have another couple of hours to go. The only offering was luke warm decaf from an airpot. We were freezing cold when we arrived, and sweating by the time we finally bailed early. I know it is an old building, but the staircase down to the restrooms was scary. Cell phones were held hostage in little locked bags. What a weird night.
