Stereo Live Dallas

I had a 3-star experience but have empathy for people who had 1-star experiences and am going to say that the execution and attention to customer experience on the venue's part are such that the worse experiences are to be expected here.First, I think it's very predatory to charge as much as they do for things at the bar. $13 for a can of Dos Equis? $8 for a La Croix? $7 for a bottle of water? Say what you want about scarcity and economics but this is just a miserable way to treat people. Pregame, bring a flask, do whatever you have to do. Cocktails are $18 and served in a small plastic cup and are mostly ice. Just unbelievably bad value there.The Aoki show had an absolutely miserable parking and traffic management situation. Abysmal.But the worst was the complete lack of line management. The line wrapped all the way around the building. It was raining. There was no covering of any sort so anyone who was standing in line was just getting soaked. What if it had started completely pouring? Again just a terrible lack of planning or concern for the customer experience. And it WAS pouring a little before we got there. Why wouldn't they have something figured out for this? You don't care if your patrons are standing out in the rain?They did not have anyone monitoring the line. It would have moved much faster if someone had been walking the line reminding people to have their IDs and tickets at the ready. Furthermore, there were actually 2 lines, and one of them was wrapped around the building while the other was right next to it and at one point was being fed by the same wraparound but then started to have people bypassing the long line and walking straight up. Staff had no signage and no way to make this clear.If anyone who works here ever bothered to attend a concert like a regular patron does, they would probably see these things pretty easily.Once inside we did not have any problems but I avoided getting ripped off at the bar and went upstairs where it was less crowded.It would be nice to have some venues that care a little bit more.

Two hours just to park and another two hours to get into the building made me miss the show. The staff was very rude. I see peoples reviews are getting deleted after being submitted. I want a refund. It's not our fault y'all over sold a show. We purchased tickets in advance and were turned away after spending $15 on parking and $200 on the show. This is the worst experience I have ever had at stereo live and I won't be back ever again. Yall were causing extreme traffic delays on a busy street in the rain. It was very dangerous. This event was extremely unorganized.

Pros: 1. The best electronic/dance venue with the loudest sound system.2. Has the hottest EDM artists at affordable prices3. Multiple shows every weekCons: 1. This is a very crowded place. It could use better armed security for disaster prevention.2. Bathrooms are in need of a huge renovation. Last show I went to, only 1 out of 2 stalls were functional in the men's restroom. Both the men's and women's restrooms are too small and too dirty.

Went to see Eli brown here. Great show. No issues with staff. Drinks are pricey but hey they're trying to make a living

I love to see a show here but the bar selection is maybe the worst in the world. So fun as long as you don't like to drink well. Lazy buyer.

I would say Stereo Live Dallas is one of the more unique venues in the area. I really like that there are two stories to view the show from. I always end up going to the second floor here. The tickets were super affordable, parking was only 10$ during this event. Overall a great experience, it was not super crowded (despite how the photos look, I was never squished).

Shoutout the manager- we are obsessed with him!! We told staff about how we had been scammed from a nearby venue and they were so quick and nice to accommodate- literally turned our night around. Bar staff didn't know about our shitty night and were so sweet as well. Honestly, what a kind way to end 2024.

Management and security are terrible rude and unforgiving, let me explain:I went with a group of 4, including myself, with 5 tickets total. One of the individuals I was with had left their physical ID in the car (because it's a passport). They brought a photo of the passport with them to the front of the venue, 3 of us had already presented our IDs and were scanning our tickets while the 4th was denied entry due to no physical ID. At this point, I was stepped right inside the doors, I had driven all of us, so I had to step out to unlock my car for the friend to grab his passport. Upon unlocking my car and returning to the front with the valid extra ticket (I had 5), security denied me re-entry. I explained my situation cordially, and the security called his management. After waiting 5 minutes, management came out of the building and yelled "What do you want?". I explained again cordially how I had to step out to unlock my car and I had another unused ticket for myself. The manager looked over and said "Do you see those f**king signs?", pointing to the no re-entry signs. To keep it short, he said i could not re enter the building that night and to go home. I told him my friends were inside and he said "well maybe they'll be leaving with you" and rushed inside.I'm baffled and disgusted. I have no recourse aside from this review. I want change, even if it's just adding explicit verbiage on the re-entry signs instead of being intentionally vague with no explanations.Don't bother coming if you don't have a physical ID, if you even set a single foot outside that door, you will be kicked out and possibly berated by the staff. Honestly, this whole place just screams "scam" - stay away!

Cons:It's in a shady area.NO metal detectors or emptying your pockets. Gated Parking is $13-26.The show start time was confusing, and even then a shitty DJ that wasn't even mentioned in the show was there for like an hour and a half.Security didn't catch some jackass getting onstage - TWICE!You do NOT want to be at the front, you cannot see both screens.Everything was poorly labeled around the venue (where to park, towable zones, entry, prices, etc.)It's a cash grab.Pros:Small venueLoudGated parking (without the price factored in)Oliver Tree*I did not visit the bar.*

They post their artists & tickets on eventbrite. Parking is 8-12$, two lots for parking.they always have great EDM/Alternative/House Music artists. It does get a bit packed on the weekends when an artist is well known butOther than that so so fun to come here w friends and good prices on tickets, I would say pregame in the car bc bar is a lil pricey
