Blackbox Theater

While I don't live in Charlotte, I do visit fairly often and almost every time I do, I try to check out a show. My first time visiting Blackbox was a few weeks ago for Ghastly with friends and with it being a Saturday night I expected it to be rather busy and take a minute to get in... nope. It was a breeze. As was grabbing a drink at the bar. This place is exactly what it sounds like, a giant black box inside. There's an upper and a lower level and the area the DJs played in was kind of in a weird place. The backdrop and what actually looked like the stage was way behind the DJ and it definitely threw me for a loop. The sound had some issues, as at some points of the show it was so loud that the music was distorted and hard to listen to. The crowd also was not the best. Very young, some came across as way too young, especially when I was in the bathroom watching girls so wasted they couldn't walk crawling to a toilet to throw up. Not a good look. Being that it's located near absolutely nothing and after the experience I had, I doubt I will check out a show here again. Bummer, but there's better music venues in Charlotte.

I've been to several events at Black Box. The sound/bass is too loud and distorted. Luckily they sell earplugs. The drinks are overpriced.

Awesome show not too crowded. security was friendly to us, there's free water or bottles for purchase.

The staff is absolutely hostile. Bad vibes all around. The venue is also in a terrible location (straight up sketchy). Save your money and skip it! I see live music all the time, all over the world (clocked in at 173 shows last year!) and this is hands down the worst experience I've ever had, which is saying a lot. The parking lot lackey had a napoleon complex and the door guy was screaming at everyone for no reason... we were all just patiently and neatly waiting in line. What a welcome! It seems like everyone who works there is miserable and they want to make sure you are too!

Perfect spot for dancing. Thank you for bringing big name DJs frequently. The EDM crowd always has a welcoming vibe. Bartenders make the drinks strong here and the womens restroom has never been out of tp, bravo ! Each employee I have interacted with has been nice and my friends and I are grateful for a nightclub on this end of town.
