Prior to visiting the Agora I had heard really great things and after attending my first show there, I'm happy to report that all those good things rang true. I came with friends for a Tape B show on a Friday night in December. Getting through security and having my ticket scanned was pretty smooth. To my surprise there's actually two stages inside, the main stage and another smaller one. Splitting the two is a large lobby area and bar. That's where the merch booth was along with the restrooms. The restrooms were small, but the lines moved rather quickly, which is always important in my opinion. I'll add that the bar staff were super fast at serving me and the prices were exactly what I would expect. I liked that in the main stage area there are multiple levels, ensuring most attendees got a really good view. Mine was great the entire time! I never made it upstairs, but I heard the balcony is really nice too. All in all, I would totally go to another show here!

I love historic venues like the Agora, and was excited to see my all time favorite artist there recently. Entering the venue was quick and seamless, and the lobby areas were large and accommodating. Bar prices are steep but I expect this from most venues. They had a coat/item check for $5, which is handy if you don't want to hang on to your concert poster all night. The bartender I ordered from was really friendly and when I asked her about it, she recommended we not walk back to our hotel that was less than a mile away. Luckily we were able to get an Uber very quickly after the show. I didn't feel unsafe but was told by some locals that it's not in the best area.The bathrooms were clean and I never had to wait in line. Our show was general admission but didn't feel super packed. I'm glad we got a chance to check out this venue!

I haven't been at the Agora for a while. So it is so nice to come back to my old haunts. The metal/punk fans like myself can really enjoy a good show here. We came for the BabyKlok tour, feat. Japan's own Babymetal and my teenhood band DethKlok. We get checked-in pretty quick then we bee-lined it to the merch table. We buy some cool shirts and got a tag ticket for 5$ to keep our merch in safe keeping as we rocked for our lives.Bathrooms we pretty clean and peeps got in and out easily. The bar was staffed well and people were able to chill and drink before the show. They served food if you were hungry but we had some snacks before it. So we were good.The show was amazing! The sound was clear and the screen was clear. THAT MATTERS PEOPLE. Dethklok is a animated show and I needed to see those visuals in HD! The sound was insane. You could hear the singers clearly and the instruments even clearer. I respect that. 5 stars.

The Agora was a fantastic little spot. It felt cozy but comfortable, not too large of a venue but not crowded either. Stage view was great from just about everywhere! Accessibility to the bar was good, much better than at a larger venue, and the staff were top notch. Overall, a great place to see a show!

I love the old theatre vibe mixed with the industrial updates. There really isn't a bad spot in this place that you can't see the stage. The bars are very accessible. The bathrooms are a decent size. The line outside was very long before the show so if you have a gen admission ticket then get there early if you want standing options.

Great check in experience for a show at this venue. They honored the early entry line by allowing early access and making a fast, seamless experience with the fastest entry I've had into a venue. Didn't try the bar or concession as I secured my spot on the rail by the stage. Otherwise, it was a great venue to experience a concert. Looking forward to another visit in the future.

Hands down one of the best places in NEO to see a show. It's beautiful, historic, and spacious...almost cavernous. Some of the best shows I've seen have been here. Drinks are ridiculously expensive, so drink beforehand if you want to save money. That's the only reason I'm docking a star. $48 for 3 large white claws and a a small bottle of water is absolutely ridiculous .

Came here to see Ashnikko perform and was blown away by how gorgeous the venue is. The staff were incredibly friendly and the security guards even handed out cups of water to keep everyone hydrated. An incident broke out in the audience and security immediately took care of it. I hope to come back again in the future!

Excellent acoustics. Great looking venue. Exhorbitant prices on adult beverages. Very hot and uncomfortable the higher you go in the balcony.
