Dos Equis Pavilion

Went to a concert here for the first time. Parking and entering was pretty easy, despite there being a line, but it went fast. Security staff are nice when they check bags etc. when you walk in, there's a ton of stands for food and drinks- although super expensive. I had tickets for the lawn, which was nice! There's food and drinks stands towards the back, and it was easy to find a spot with a good view. Everyone was respectful of each other's space too. The concert itself was great! Was able to hear the singers and instruments perfectly! The only downside was getting out of the parking lot at the end. It took about 45 minutes to just get out of the venue parking lot. But grateful that the Parking was free

Want to see Glass Animals here, and it was the first time attending it event at this pavilion. The parking was pretty easy to find in the beginning, and the security was a breeze to go through. there's a lot of places to buy food and drinks when you walk in and there's also places to purchase things when you are seated. The seating area and the lawn is pretty well-maintained and clean.

I came here for a Bush concert with my husband and son. We had a great time. Parking was convenient and the staff were friendly. I liked the seats we had, they were close to the stage. I enjoyed the variety of foods that they offer. We had Pulled Pork Nachos, French Fries, Pizza and lots of beer. Everything tasted amazing!!! My favorite item to get were the nachos!! Dos Equis Pavilion is a vibe! We all enjoyed ourselves.

Dos Equis needs some work to improve the venue. The location has a benefit being accessible on the DART. However if you arrive by car or Uber/Lyft, it is a nightmare. Take the DART.The sound production is not amazing. Also, the mikes kept dropping on the performers. This is simply not professional at this level. Continuing for these issues to occur will drive artists away.You can only purchase through Live Nation, which charges super high fees. Sometimes Dos Equis offer specialty pricing on certain shows so that is nice. The seating is good and even the lawn seats are not bad. They have food in house since you are trapped and cannot get other options. Nothing healthy though. And the prices of the food and drinks are not ok. Base this how you want- security getting in was intense. That may make some ppl reassured. That may make some ppl super scared by the very intense experience to get through. This is not a rating of the performers. This is a rating of venue management. I prefer a smaller venue, Dos Equis is at the high end in terms of volume so I want to see Dos Equis improve, continue to bring in high quality acts. Let's take this feedback as well as the other fellow Yelpers to heart and get some improvements here.

Security:Their security wasn't as stringent as the venues in Houston, but I found them to be thorough and reasonable. They allowed each person to bring one large water bottle, provided that it was sealed and not frozen. We also brought sunscreen and a large sheet for the lawn area. Others brought in their own stadium chairs. Check the guidelines for your particular event before going. Food and Drink: I didn't purchase alcohol, so I can't comment on it. It was pricey though. A can of water is $5, which is typical, but ridiculous. I bought several the first time because it was August and during a heat wave, but after that we brought our own. The food MUST be mentioned. We bought two Campisi's pizzas for about $12 or $14 each plus a tip. If I had taken a bite with my eyes closed, I would have sworn I was eating the box. Whoa, SUPER BAD.Merchandise: Super expensive. Expect to spend $50 or more on a T-shirt, and when they ask you to sign, a tip is requested too. I always give something, but geez. Lawn tickets:Pavilions are my favorite type of venue, and I especially like the lawn seating. It creates a festival-like atmosphere, which is a bit more friendly and casual than being packed in at stadium. If there's someone in front of you who is constantly flailing about and won't sit down, you have the option to move! You have a little more space to move around, and can have a blanket and/or short stature stadium chair. Chairs are available to rent, but a lot of people brought their own when I was there.Sound Quality:I've been here for three concerts: Beck, 50 cent, and Rob Zombie with Alice Cooper. The sound quality was just okay. For whatever reason, the sound quality wasn't as clear as it is at Cynthia Woods Pavilion in the Woodlands/Houston. Parking:Dos Equis has a lot of free parking, so that's a big advantage compared to other venues. I suggest parking in a grass lot outside of the fenced area if you can. Getting out after a show requires a lot of time and patience. Also, watch out for people bringing T-shirts to sell in the parking lot. They will approach your car from the front, requiring you to slam on brakes or hit them. I don't understand why security doesn't put a stop to that. It was especially bad at the 50Cent concert August 2023. Ants:My one major complaint was that the lawn area needed to be treated for ants, so we ended up with bites on our feet. Constantly slapping ants, especially in the dark, isn't my idea of fun. Dos Equis should take care of that pronto! TLDR: Lots of parking, lawn tickets are awesome, reasonable security but look for specific guidelines for your event, do NOT get the pizza. Watch out for ants!

Janet Jacson was awesome! However, my experience at Dos Equis Pavilion was dreadful. Too many long lines coming and going. Long lines everywhere! The lawn was overcrowded and could've been a fire hazard. This is how people get trampled at concerts, overselling tickets. The parking lot was a disaster after the concert. My friend and I sat in our parking space for 30 minutes as we weren't even able to get out of our parking space. Where was the staff directing traffic?! The chaotic traffic issue and outside the pavillion was completely unnecessary! Logistocal failure based on greed.Side note: the burger, fries, and Whiskey peach tea I had there were excellent.

Fun concert spotLots of shade if you buy a seatSummer time ... but a seatAdding more characters not much to say

This place is ok for concerts. Usually the headliners are big names, so you will usually get a good show from them - but damn, if you aren't going to risk your safety, your sanity, and your future trust in humanity as a species every time you come here. Getting in and out of this place is a goat rope. The bottlenecks you have to squeeze through are atrocious. The facility itself is okay - but never again will I do lawn seats here. You have to leave it completely to use the restroom - and if the lawn is crowded, good luck finding your way back to your spot in the dark. Seats are good - and the views are decent from any seat in the house. The staff in the seating area can be salty, but when you see the people they have to deal with, it's understandable. I often have to curb my temper at some of the idiotic behavior that concerts encourage. All in all, this venue is a necessary evil. I have seen some amazing shows here. And I will likely return, dammit.

I love seeing live music here. It's our favorite so no complaints there. However, the food quality is poor. I usually eat before the show but today I didn't. Decided to try Trejo's Tacos . Spent nearly $35 on some small street tacos with zero flavor and chips and guacamole. The chip and guac tasted fine but very little guac to chip ratio the tacos were bland, cold and yucky. First and last time to get Trejo's Tacos.

It's hard to separate the artist's performance from the quality of the venue itself. I went to see Hozier on April 28th and the venue was conveniently located and had abundant parking, but the facilities didn't seem to be capable of hosting that number of people. The microphone went out mid-way through one of the first songs which detracted from the experience, and the lawn was muddy from recent rain. I wish the facility owners had thought of a way to put in ramps or some other means of protecting concertgoers from slipping because I almost fell down a massive slope of mud. There are really no lights in the lawn and people were too cramped to be able to sit comfortably or go down to the bathrooms/concessions area easily. Bathrooms were dirty and jam-packed. Food and drinks were greatly overpriced and the affiliated service was fine.
