Such a cool venue!! Clean and service is always wonderful, my fiancé and i went and seen noah cirus .
Amazing, intimate venue. Excellent acoustics. Well stocked bars upstairs and down. The attached taco bar was delicious!
Went for a concert yesterday, beautiful architecture and sound quality. It was a great experience, with a refreshing closeness to the bands, and I hope to see future concerts there. If your band is going to be there, you won't be disappointed.
The main floor slopes down from the stairs to reach it toward the stage, allowing for anyone to be able to clearly see the stage. It wasn't open during my concert visit, but there is at least one balcony and maybe even a higher balcony as well. From the lobby on the main level was a bar to the right, and the bands had tables to the left for selling merchandise. This level had tables for disabled to sit at and enjoy concert experience, with stairs that went down to the main floor.
Bathrooms in lobby, with sign saying additional available. For male restroom at least there is one seat and one urinal, the seat is not segregated if you are the shy kind.
Parking was available via city lots and garages nearby, and plenty of shops and restaurants to enjoy in the historic mall area. This includes an attached grill, although we didn't check it out during this visit.
Really difficult to find. There was no lit up or eye-level signage in front, just a chiseled stone facade way up high which, again, had no lights on it. Nice enough theatre inside, though ONLY the lower floor is ADA accessible. I walk with a cane and sometimes can't climb stairs, and there is no elevator up to the balcony where our seats were. On the positive side, even in the back row of the balcony, we felt like we had a good view of the stage.
Had a great time! The people checking tickets and IDs were very kind as well as the bartender. I don’t like crowds much and the balcony was a perfect place to lean and watch the concert. The floor of theater looked angled so that people in the back could still see decently. Plus, there’s the parking deck nearby thats easy to use! Overall great concert experience.
A great venue to see any band or show. Not a bad view from anywhere in the house. Great snacks and drinks available at multiple locations inside. Super helpful staff makes it quick to get you in and they make sure you're well taken care of all night. Can't wait to go back for another show. Loved Yam Yams and Pigeons Playing Pingpong up close and personal.
Attended a concert here, The Leg Warmers. Ticketing and admission was easy with no hassle. There are two bars serving drinks, one on the main floor and the lower level. Overall it was a great venue for the concert with good amenities and easy admission.
I always feel safe when at the Jefferson for shows. The staff is really aware and keen on safety and the service is great!
