The Kessler Theater

Beautiful theatre and wonderful atmosphere for a night of great music!The Kessler Theater is a focal point of the Bishop Arts District! It first opened as a single movie screen theater for the local folks in Oak Cliff. While it remained closed for decades after extensive structural damage, the Art Deco marquee is shining brightly once again!Highly recommended taking a trip to Dallas to see your favorite artist!

Wonderful area and atmosphere! All of the employee's were helpful. Great patio and drinks something you can you'll have and in intimate

Came to the Kessler to see Dezi and had an awesome time!This is an small venue in Bishop arts with a bar at the entrance and an intimate seating area for shows (seating I'd guess ~150 ppl, including the U-shaped balcony).The seats were comfortable and there is an area to reserve if you have a group. Sound was great, room for dancing at the front by the stage and all the staff we interacted with were awesome (especially the bartender Scottie who mixed up a delicious tropical cocktail for me) .They don't have food but you can order from PhD next door.Had a wonderful time and I'll be checking out other acts here because I love the venue.

I really enjoyed this venue. I was able to catch Hermanos Gutiérrez here and it was phenomenal. It's small but love they do tables in front of the stage. Seats behind the tables and even standing balcony. Great selection of beers and complimentary water stations if you're not a drinker. They have an outside patio area with tables to enjoy drinks or chat before the show. There's verrrrrry limited dedicated parking behind the venue so arrives super early if not you'll have to park somewhere in the neighborhood.

Went to Hotter than Hell Burlesque for my bachelorette party . Absolutely loved the whole evening. Drinks were reasonably priced. The crowd was very enthusiastic. And the show did not disappoint. I even got a shout out from the Emcee. I'm already making plans to take my husband to the next performance. Thank you Kessler the environment was even welcoming to my religious mother.

I'm giving this place 5-stars based on intimacy and ambiance as well as old-time prices. We came here last night for the English Beat concert and immediately began planning our next visit. The place is small and takes you way back to a simpler time with its welcoming feel and Art Deco-themed set up. The bar staff was friendly and served up cold beer at low prices. The theater interior was small yet accommodating of a good crowd. No matter where we would have stood we would have felt close to the stage. Seeing this legendary band perform here made it a better experience.

Great intimate venue with good acoustics, fair pricing, comfortable seating and clean bathrooms. Caught a great blues show featuring Mike Zito.

The woman who claimed to be the own Decided to.come across the street on to someone property n felt Entitled to tell someone to.move there car n when she didn't get her way she got in the woman's face n push her n guess what the so.called owner got her ass handed to her the cops were called n nothing was done about the situation she need to leave ppl.alone

This is my favorite music venue in dallas. Intimate, and the crowd is so respectful. If you love live music this is the best spot in town. Bartenders are great too.

Be very cautious when buying tickets . Go directly to home page . I over paid with a third party and i was so disappointed . The staff is not very helpful to first time visitors. The actual venue is amazing . It is very intimate and the crowd is very respectful .
