Goodyear Theater

What an awesome 1,400 seat venue. Very clean. Historical feel. We saw the comedian Nick Swardson. He was hilarious!! There are two bars one when you initially have your ticket scanned and one just prior to entering the seating area. The line got very long very quick. I'd recommend coming a bit early. Get a couple drinks so you don't have to stand in line again! I also don't think there would be a bad seat in the house.

We did not eat. But we had a cocktails while watching a comedian. Place is cute and cozy. Stopped at the brewery on way out. It was a nice spot too. Self serve so can't review the service lol.

Beautiful theatre! Had a great time watching Ashley McBride here recently. Great acoustics, very comfortable seating as well they're super roomy. Nice concession stand and bathrooms were very clean.

Looking for a smaller entertainment venue with fantastic acoustics? This is it!!!! OMG! First time attending a show here, and will definitely come back. There are no bad seats here and the staff is super helpful. Very friendly and the staff we interacted with seemed to really enjoy working at Goodyear Theater. Enjoyed both the opening act, Magic Alex, and the main act , Arena Rock Show. It was great to hear two Ohio groups in one night. Great music from both acts!

I've been to the Goodyear Hall on several occasions, both to test for my 1st Dan Blackbelt in Taekwondo (I am with Asian Sun), and to watch several of my friends earn their blackbelts at varying levels.Parking was a bit tight, especially when they started to redo the parking lot (I believe they are expanding it). There are two sets of bathrooms downstairs, however I have found that the ladies bathrooms leave much to be desired. During the last blackbelt testing I attended (to see my friend earn his 5th Degree Masters Blackbelt) back in August of 2018, one set of ladies rooms was locked and inaccessible, and the other set had only 2 of the 3 stalls available for use, as one of them was clogged up and dirty. This was obviously an inconvenience for both the people renting the facility who were running the testing, and the people who were there to watch the testing and cheer for their friends and family.The rest of Goodyear Hall is generally clean. I have one concern when it comes to accessibility for wheelchair bound folks, although I'm not sure if it posed a problem for the particular event I was attending. However, I would be curious to see if they have elevators and wheelchair accessible seating next time I go.

I absolutely LOVED my first visit to the *newly renovated and accessible to the public* Goodyear Theater to see the amazing Miike Snow. It was super easy to get there taking 76-W (basically right off the highway) and while their website says $10 parking is available, there was no parking charge for this event at a lot right next to the building. We had only to walk a way down the sidewalk marked by the cool "East End" arches to find the entrance which leads one through a modern 'corporate' type hallway. (No real surprise here knowing the building was formerly for corporate Goodyear use.) [Side note: I had to ponder though whether this location was the one I used to take my Grandpa to for meds... anyone know if the former Goodyear employee/retiree pharmacy was here in the 90s/early oughts?] Regardless, about midway down the hall we saw the entrance to the theater including a small band of security staff and a bar. We were fairly early (and I didn't come packing a handbag) so security was a breeze to get through (they merely scanned my ticket, no ID check at this stage for this show) and provided us with a wristband which I presumed was for re-entry BUT they also stamp you if you step out for some reason. Inside this entry way was a small vestibule type area with a bar/small treat shop and where the restrooms on the main floor are located. (I don't know if there are also restrooms balcony level because I don't think that area was open for this show.) If I remember correctly, you then go through a couple sets of doors to another inner entryway with doors to both the 'main' floor (orchestra seating and pit) and with a stairway up to the balcony level. They had one bar set in the little vestibule under the stair here and then the merch table was directly opposite. It's entering the actual theater that will really take your breath away with the GORGEOUS architecture and dramatic lighting (at least for this event!) The theater itself was lovely with ample walkways, what looked to be plush vintage-look seats, and a small-ish pit in which we could stand/dance during the actual show. Pit was awesome because we were so very close to the stage and it felt a little more intimate to me but, then again, I like to stand and move around. I can understand not wanting or even having a pit if it wasn't a dance performance. That being said, I was never questioned about whether I had a pit ticket or not - we just walked on in because we knew we were supposed to be there and while it filled up pretty well it was never cramped or even at what I might think would be capacity. (So... some shows you might be able to get into the pit without having pit seats, I dunno!) Again - the lighting the architecture, the 'feel' of the space and the closeness of the stage are all amazing so when the show began and the acoustics were killer as well I was super excited. I mean, you'd expect it to be but you never know.Service was great at the available bars (although only a couple served liquor) and I don't think I waited in line more than 2 minutes for anything. Domestic beers (PBR + friends) were $6 and 'Specialty' beers like the New Cleveland Palesner tall were $7 so I stuck with the latter. Maybe a bit more than expected but consistent with other music venues (unfortunately.)This renovated theater is a WONDERFUL addition to the N.E. Ohio concert venue scene and I'll definitely be keeping my eye out for future events. Perhaps my fave new indoor venue!

Criss Angel show the MINDFREAK!! Great seats great venue, first time here. Just the right size for this type of show!!! Awesome

If there was an option for no stars I'd pick it!We have had two dance competitions located at this place and security is wayyyyy to strict! I'm not one to be made at someone for doing their jobs but they make it impossible to do anything! Very strict with food, not allowed to use elevators, wouldn't let my team practice their dance anywhere, will tackle you if you have a coffee in your hand past 10:30, men can't even go into the hallway to get out of the building bc it's close to the stairwell to the hallway with the girls dressing room which is behind doors, and not to mention parking is super far from the front main doors they expect us all to go in and out of! That's just complaints about security!The Stage is super tiny! And carpets are disgusting! Looks like someone died in a few spots!If you are going for a concert maybe it'll be okay, but omg do not go there for any kind of sport's performances and competitions! Worst experiences I've ever had! Will not be coming back next year to any competitions that go to this venue! 5 thumbs down!

First time at this venue and it was great, not a bad seat there. Really enjoyed the show. However, while trying to leave the staff was very rude. They were yelling at the staff to get out of the bathroom while there was a line and were yelling at the rest of the party waiting. Just very rude customer service. Could make or break continuing to go there.
