The Fillmore Charlotte

Great venue for concerts, galas, exercise events - you name it, they've done it and done it well. There's plenty of bars so you can always be sure to find a drink for whatever event you're attending. Lots of bathrooms so you don't have to wait in a long line and typically always very clean. It's a small, intimate venue - so if there's an artist you want to see, go do it! I'd recommend VIP, as you'll have a nicer view. If you don't get VIP, get there early to get a good spot because it is standing room only and no reserved standing room outside of the VIP section, which is elevated.

The Fillmore - TheftNot even worth one star. BE WARNED!!! If you purchase anything from the bar, be sure to check your bank, or credit card accounts for any unauthorized transactions. Last month November 2024, my husband and I attended a concert at The Fillmore Charlotte. My husband purchased ONE drink from the bar, however, upon viewing my bank account the next day, I saw that we were charged for FOUR (4) drinks instead of ONE!! The total came to $53.59, when it should have only been $22.73. I immediately reached out to the venue to inform them of the unauthorized transactions. I received a response from the GM, Courtney Ezell. She asked for the last four-digits of my credit card that was used (it was actually my debit card). I provided her with the information. The following was her response and final decision:"These charges are not duplicates and are all ordered at different times. We don't keep credit cards on file at any of our GA bars, which is where these charges were made. Normally if it is a fraudulent charge or misring, they are all rang up within a minute of each other. This is not the case. The drinks were ordered at different times. I cannot refund them.I am sending the receipts of all the checks".I was in disbelief!! The only thing those receipts showed were the drinks that were charged to my bank account. Of which THREE (3) were UNAUTHORIZED!!! They apparently have a bartender in their employment who is a thief. Those receipts also showed the Clerk ID numbers! That's right -- plural. The clerk who rang up my husband's drink, was NOT the same clerk who rang up the (3) unauthorized transactions! We were seated to the left of the bar, and I watched as the first clerk rang up my husband's ONE drink. He never returned to the bar, and I don't drink. During the period the (3) drinks were ordered at different times, my husband and I were in our seats. I told the GM to review video footage from that night, showing neither of us were at the bar AFTER the first transaction. The Fillmore raped my bank account of $53.59. That money was already earmarked for medication and gas. We will NEVER return to the venue. I exposed this in detail, in order to warn others. I imagine this is not the first time that theft by an employee has occurred. Remember Ms. Ezell's words, "Normally if it is a fraudulent charge or misring, they are all rang up within a minute of each other...". NORMALLY??!! So now theft is the "norm" at The Fillmore? Theft is NEVER acceptable. The GM never refunded me. Shameful. Keep an eye on your accounts if you ever attend an event at the venue, and make purchases. Outrageously unbelievable -- as if their prices aren't already through the roof!! Now you have to monitor theft.

I've been going to the Fillmore for years and seen many artists here. It'd been a while though. Parking was easy. The line moved fast with staff checking ID's while we waited. The bar line was short and service was quick. The sound was great. It was packed but that's to be expected at any show. The VIP looks amazing and I'll definitely be splurging next time I go to a show here.

Came here for a concert. It's been years since I've been here, and it has changed quite a bit. Now, the whole process of getting checked in went swiftly and smoothly. Everyone was super polite and knowledgeable. This is standing admission, so if you want to secure a good spot on the floor, you must arrive early. If not, you're really out of luck. We arrived and got in about 7:50pm, and we were out of luck. There was no way we could get into the space to try to even find a good spot. Now they put green tape where you have to be inside off so that walkways can be clear for when people need to go to the restroom or anywhere. We ended up updraging to VIP just so we could get a spot and sit down. It is further away, but you still get a good view. You're just not as close as you may want to be. Overall, it's not a bad location.

Had my jobs Christmas party here. The space is a great event space. You can do a lot with it. There were also good accessibility to bar area that was great. Stage is well positioned. They is also an outdoor space that was utilized. The bathrooms were clean. The coat check in stations were centrally located to the exit and entrance. Parking does suck so you might want to uber or you'll be walking.

Okay I've been here several times in the past 5 years but for some reason last night was the best experience yet! The staff from box office, to bar, to security were all SO FRIENDLY and on their stuff all night! Mars (our bartender) was so sweet and helped us stay hydrated all night :) I have to give the biggest shout out to security though- they went above and beyond to make sure to keep everyone safe during mosh pits and even helped people (including me) crowd surf safely to the other side. When a fight broke out they tried to calm the guy down without laying a finger on him. Well done yall. Can't wait for my next show!

The Fillmore is always a nice vibe when there's an intimate concert in town. There's at least 4 or 5 bars located throughout the venue. The huge chandeliers are my fave about this place, gives vintage!! There is limited seating but I'm guessing if you purchase VIP tickets or handicap seating tickets that's your best bet to getting a seat otherwise this place is standing room only. But I don't have a problem with that,,,just wear comfortable shoes. My one gripe with The Fillmore is when purchasing drinks they donot provide straws and I hate that. I did remember that from the last event and this time oh a girl was prepared. I brought two cocktail straws from home for my friend and myself. We sipped and danced the night away...like Ladies

I had the best time seeing 6lack last night!! The atmosphere and vibes were so great! 6lack, Quin, & Jordan were fantastic the sound the music selection everything was A one! This was my first experience at the Fillmore but it definitely won't be my last! The only thing I would say is get there early or if possible get a fast pass ( I know I will next time) just so you can get a closer spot to the front. It's pretty small and fills up fast !

Always a great concert experience! Latest concert was DVSN and because I totally fan girled I will say the whole experience was 10/10. Getting drinks isn't ever a problem, might have to wait a few minutes but it's never a struggle to get to the bar. I actually tried their food for the first time that night as well and the tenders were really good! Fries were hot and it was a great quick meal!

Love this venue! We just saw a show there and it was easy to see the stage and the bathrooms were clean. The best part though was the bar staff! Hash, Nick and Liz really made the experience. I'd go back just for them!
