The Echo Lounge & Music Hall

We came here last night to the Indigo De Souza concert. I really liked the venue. It was newer and the smoking patio was really nice. I liked that they had local beer deals for $6. That's a steal at any concert venue. The security was extremely thorough. My fossil Sydney bag was fine, I think they allow 12 X 6 X 12 bags in so as long as you're not carrying a larger size tote bag you should be fine. Security even looked in my altoid tin which I thought was funny. All I had was mints in there but I've never had any other security look inside so it gave me a laugh. Anyway will definitely come back to events held here. Parking was the lot next to the venue and only $12 which is pretty good considering the location.::Editing:: because I was reading some other reviews so I just wanted to add that at the concert I attended last night there were at least two hydration stations that I saw, one next to the bathrooms and one at the bar.

Nice venue. The drinks are criminally overpriced. $14 for a canned seltzer that's $4 at the gas station.

I came here today with my husband for a shrek rave! Over all we had a great time! The dance floor area was spacious, there was never a long line for the bar. They had themed drinks, which I found to be pretty cool! The restrooms were clean and easy to find. They also had a patio you could go outside and sit at which was nice because some places, if you step outside you are not allowed back in.Over all the ticket prices were kind of expensive (90 dollars for 2 people?!)The drinks were also overpriced. $38 dollars for two drinks! The drinks were not even strong! All in all, it was a fun place! I would probably be back despite my few qualms.

Very nice venue in a great location but you can easily miss it. It's an intimate performance space. Downstairs is standing room only. Upstairs has a few rows of viewing seats and several tables and chairs along the sides. Excellent clear sound system. Every seat has a great view of the stage. The stage has a great view of every seat. The artists were able to see and interact with the audience on bout floors. Also a small patio area with tables and chairs just off the main area. Catch a concert or two...you won't regret it!

Love love love this venue! We purchased GA for a show so it was standing room only. They have a balcony area with tables and chairs as well as a roped off area with tables and chairs on the main floor. We wanted to upgrade our tickets upon entry and they did provide that option, which we would have loved to do sadly there was only 3 left and we had four in our group. They also serve food, we didn't get to try it but it looked delicious! Next time we will for sure book a table and try some yummy food! There really wasn't a bad area in the entire venue as far as viewing purposes, we could see from everywhere. Staff was very helpful and drinks were really cheap!

I recently went to see a show at the Echo. I purchased the valet (worth it) the pre-show(a joke) and the show ticket.The pre-show was an absolute unorganized pointless joke. We were let in only 20 before everyone else. There was really no point in purchasing the Pre-show.Sri is in the lounge were overpriced and options for those not drinking d driving were water and sparkle wasted with was in a can and $6.50.The food is low end bar food at best. You get better food from a food truck at the fair.So the Pre-Show: There is no real benefit.The venue. Within the first five minutes the pot smell was overwhelming. If I could've gotten a refund at the door I would've. Last I check weed was still illegal in Texas. But because of a cowardly manager and owner, there was no enforcing the law. There were also kids at the concert I attended.Y'all want our country to change and be better but you cowards can't even ensure the law is followed in your establishment and protect kids from being surrounded by illegal drugs.I hope the venue is looked into by the authorities and shut down.The performers were amazing. No reflection in them.

Last night was my first visit to The Echo lounge and music hall. The venue is easy enough to get to with it being immediately off of the access road. Parking seems to take place in the Maverick's parking lot, for that building next door ... but I had someone picking me up/dropping me off. I will give the venue the credit that it was well kept up inside and they seemed quick to come clean up spills as they happened. As well everyone I interacted with seemed nice, and usually if there was an issue they were very honest with an immediate "Not my call, its the higher ups that made those calls." So the staff get theirs issues and are quick to try to help within the realm that they can. First issue we ran into was there isn't a good pick up/drop off spot. The night I went it was the two driveway spots that had a gate locked, so a number of folks ended up just having to pull to the shoulder on the access road. With place that seems like it could have a high rate of drop off for all ages shows or rideshare due to it serving alcohol it would be smart to have a better set up for that. I didn't see valet being offered either, even with it being mentioned in an things to know before your show email ... So, my only guess is that the closed gates meant the drive way for Valet and Rideshare drop offs are one in the same and if valet is closed there is no where for rideshare to go. A complaint out of hydration safety for folks attending shows: they would not let folks bring in SEALED water bottles. I had to open and chug or dump the water inside. Ok, I get it but many other venues allow for sealed. They said I could bring in the empty bottle and refill it at refill stations but there was none. At the bar they wouldn't give cups of free water. Other venues nearby will either let you bring in SEALED waters, give out free waters, or make sure they have refill stations. Given the number of videos online of people overheating during shows, making sure folks have access to water to stay hydrated. The practice this venue had, shows me the higher ups only care about getting your money from the ticket, parking and bar. The merch booth took cash but the venue itself is card only, and they will happily load it on to some sort of gift card at vip services. I get it, but its a post-covid annoyance. The merch line ended up cutting thru the crowd on the floor and around to the bar near the door. Making it sometimes tough for folks to know what was the line and what was just folks watching the opening band. During both bands there was sound technical issues. The first band we couldn't hear the singer at all. During the headliner the sound went completely out during one of their most popular songs. I won't write off this venue completely, as things may change from show to show, and this was only my first visit to it. I'll plan on driving myself next time due to the drop off issues and make sure to have waters in my car for before/after the show.

This place is a mess. Paid for parking. Right after I paid another car was leaving the lot saying that a Dallas Mavericks employee was threatening to have everyone towed. I went ahead and parked and spoke to another parking staff worker and was told by them, "we're working on it." What is that supposed to mean? Made it really difficult to relax and enjoy the show worrying if my car was going to still be there when the show was over. Security was also unhelpful and not very pleasant with multiple unnecessary bag checks. The only positive experience was quick and friendly bartenders. The rest of the experience was Trash. Will not be back. If you value your vehicle and do not want to have to worry about being towed while watching a show then avoid this place.

We came here on 3.8.23 to check out Inhaler, an up and coming Irish band - their lead singer is Bono's son. The setting is great for an intimate concert - meaning small but good for getting around. There are plenty of bars surrounding the floor, and it wasn't murder to get from the floor to the restroom and back. The sound was good and the lighting was extraordinary. Compared to other concert spaces we have been to, we loved this one. I would come back here for a show in a heartbeat.

I love this venue! It's a very intimate concert venue that gives you a better experience. We were able to actually see The Fray rather than having to look at a huge screen. The drinks were great, and the churros were the bomb! In line, we were assisted by Kristi K. She took great care of us and answered all our questions, as we had never been to the venue before. We will absolutely be back for more shows!
