Crescent Ballroom

Great spot if your into small venues for music, there restaurant is good too. They have general disco and Britney nights but I saw Michelle branch there and was planning to see sookie Waterhouse but I missed it. They have great service, I would recommend ubering because there's really no parking. The drinks are good , and the food is good .

Maybe people have had some nice experiences here because they were likely seeing bands or artists they liked. Perhaps the food is even good if you have the time or there aren't so many people. That being said, I am joining what is clearly an ongoing list of complaints against security. The night I was there they were clearly on a series of power trips. This is common from looking at other reviews. We got told we couldn't go through an open exit that everyone was leaving out. When we asked why the guy immediately called for back up because he was so scared of one guy and one girl. He escalated the situation from the start and wanted to kick us out even though we were leaving the concert anyway. I've never seen someone in their 20's think they can push whoever they want around like this. I was able to contact Crescent about my concerns, but they were quick to defend themselves and ask me what I was going to do about it. Of course there isn't a whole lot to do other than never go here again. Moral of the story, don't be surprised if your night gets ruined because of some loser security guard with bad facial hair and no plans for the weekend. I'm glad to say this experience was a while ago and we have not gone back.

I've been to Crescent Ballroom a couple of times and I've always had a great experience. Their food is normally pretty good but today for some reason it wasn't as good as it normally is. I got their carne asada, chicken tinga, and chicken aspon tacos and they were decent but my girlfriend's quesadilla was burnt and pretty flavorless. I think in general this place is really only good for tacos but today wasn't that great. Also we ordered some drinks as well and there was barely any alcohol in them. If you're gonna charge 14 dollars a drink, I want my full shot in there. The staff are decent and the place is pretty cool because they have a concerts in the back so if you're ever feeling like dinner and a concert after, you can do it. Pretty decent date spot. I'll come back again because I've had good experiences in the past but unfortunately today was just not up to par.

Come here several times a year for shows. Good place and space. The food is pretty decent but it does get busy around dinner time so be prepared. Nice outside space and music venue

I love love these nachos. They're my absolutely favorite. My other fav is the numero uno burrito. I add jackfruit to both (cuz why not?!) and drown it with the green and red salsa I come at least once a week. The service could be a little better as I def have to remind my servers to bring things sometimes but I'm usually chilling alone or with a friend so it's not too bad.

First looks, you know you're going to have a good time the second you walk up to the doors. All smiles and attentive service when you get to the check-in area. There's live music on the patio, then you have the restaurant/bar area, and alas... The crescent ballroom. A quaint room big enough to host concerts and other musical events. The food is unexpectedly delicious. I say unexpectedly because I was really just here for a concert. I didn't expect to have tacos so delicious that I'd order more. I didn't feel up to drinking this night so I ordered a Mocktail. I was so glad they had a dedicated menu for a yummy drink without the alcohol that wasn't soda.

I've lost count of how many times I've witnessed the mesmerizing performance of The Ocean Blue, but this is undoubtedly their second mind-blowing show at this venue. Trust me, the vibes here are off the charts! The acoustics? Absolutely killer! Though I must admit, the staff can be a tad curt, and the drinks might leave you thirsting for more flavor. But hey, let's focus on the bright side--they constantly bring in phenomenal bands that rock this joint to its core!

Vegan nachos with jack fruit are so so good!! Definitely coming back for those again! First time I went, I went for a concert, only complaint I have is the lady who was checking tickets was very rude.

This was my first time at Crescent for a concert - I had attended the random trivia night years ago, but I was pleased with it as a show venue! Crescent runs like a well oiled machine - you get through the line quickly, get your wrist band, and you're inside. You can see the staff everywhere - cleaning up, delivering food, security for the show, etc. The venue itself is small and intimate, but doesn't feel too tight. Lines for drinks and bathrooms were never long. I will say that the bathroom could use some love pretty early on in the night (not enough toilet paper, wet floor, etc), but that's pretty common during concerts. I have another show I am attending there next month and I'm definitely looking forward to returning!

My visit was back on Oct of 2021.I'm from LA and I found myself here due to a mistake.I was on my way to see Arlo Parks perform in L.A. I was waiting until the last min to get the cheapest price on tickets. While driving I saw a price I liked and hit the buy button.I get to Echoplex and realized the ticket date was wrong. Time expired to buy tix for the LA show so what I clicked was for tix to see her in Phoenix!!!Just so happens a friend just had a baby who lived in Mesa so I hopped a plane next day to see Arlo perform and to see the baby. I thought this was an awesome venue to see a concert. Anywhere you stood was a good spot. Had no issue with long lines to grab a refreshing beverage.It's also a restaurant but I didn't get a chance to try the food because I was there to eat. Overall if I were an up and coming performer seeking 200-300 capacity place to play my gig, this would be the go-to venue in Phoenix
