The Roxy Theatre

Groundbreaking history makes this theater special. Way before he was Neil Old, Neil Young opened the theater in 1973. A few years later Marley recorded Live at the Roxy there, though, let's be real, it wouldn't have made sense to record Live at The Roxy anywhere else. It hosted the original U.S. run of Rocky Horror and the first Pee Wee Herman show. Celebs like Lennon and Nicholson hung out there- I saw Colin Farrell the last time I was there. He was in crutches. I think he got beat up by a critic.

I am writing this on my way home. This is a wonderful intimate venue with the capacity to fit 500 people. That being said, it can get very hot. I highly recommend wearing very light clothing because even with the AC on, its still extremely hot. but there is a bar in the back and if you ask the bartender for a cup of water, she'll give you a nice cup of ice water for free. It was a nice respite from the heat. I also recommend going to the bathroom before entering. They only have 2 rest room stalls in the little restroom for women and it gets cramped.But apart from that, you can get a wonderful view of the band from anywhere you stand. The sound quality was epic, and the band performing was incredible. Highly recommend going if you get the chance, but keep this in mindOh and get an uber, parking is terrible.

Have seen some great acts here since 1995. The staff and security are top notch. Never have any incidents or issues at the Rox.

It's the iconic Roxy, and that alone makes it cool.Yes, it's small.Yes, it's warm/hot inside.Yes, it's kinda funky...But it's THE Roxy!During my recent visit, I found parking across the street for $20 easy, the staff efficient and the facilities fine. In all, nothing particularly noteworthy good or bad.However, being close to the stage in this small venue was awesome! And the sound was thunderous - BIG sound for a small place.A few $15 24 ounce Sierra Nevada brews and I was off to the races.4 stars for The Roxy, what a night!

Fantastic venue - big enough for a sizable party but small enough that you can enjoy the performances close up! Came to a special event here and had a great time. You can see the stage from any seat in the house. Staff was courteous and attentive. Parking is a problem. Most close by lots charge $20; there are meter parking spaces on the street but they are hard to find! Waiting in line can take a while too. Security was tight. You may want to come early. But overall a great theater.

I've been to the Roxy twice now and it has the throne for my least liked venue.If you think "small venue," there are some pros that come with that- fairly quick security- good views of the stage regardless of where you are- intimate setting to feel closer with the artistWell, you will potentially get none of this at the Roxy.Both shows I attended, the Roxy couldn't get everyone in (people who showed up on time, mind you) before the show started so a good amount of people missed beginning of the show. They have one metal detector and one bag checker so... even with a capacity of just 500, they're doing those 500 one. At. A. Time.Speaking of capacity, I want to know where that 500 entails. Both shows I attended were sold out. Most recently, a portion of the venue appeared to be closed off for VIP- maybe like 20 attendees and additional 5-10 staff seemed to be in that area that was wide open in the back. That leaves like 470 people for what looks like 3/4 of the venue. Staff are constantly yelling at you to move or squish in so they can clear a walkway which is fair- it's a safety hazard to not have one. BUT squishing in feels unsafe so if you MOVE you can end up like... in the hallway in front of the entrance where you get no view of the stage... and ofc if you're that far, there is no intimacy with the artist.You would get some fresh air though! And that's something that's sorely missing from the main venue area. I know we have to sound proof but that's the hottest, mustiest, sweatiest, least ventilated venue I've ever been to so plan accordingly.There were signs for $20 parking which would be its only plus but I'm sure it's super limited so I don't know how great a perk that is. All in all, probably not a bad place if the show isn't sold out.But if an artist I didn't LOVE played at the Roxy, the venue it self would make me reconsider attending.

Went to see Black Smurf and IdontknowJeffrey at the iconic Roxy!The good: Workers were all very nice! Scanned my ticket quickly and I was in. Bartender made my drink strong and was also chill. I was right next to the stage and the sound was great! Bathrooms were surprisingly really clean as well.The bad: $4 for a water??????? It was so hot in there I felt like I was gonna pass out. Parking is a mess but thankfully I just walked there from my hotel.All in all a pretty good experience.

music production here sounds great! bartender JASON is awesome & we're sooo glad to be able to be served by him. honestly, the man was moving swiftly across the bar counter tending to every thirsty patrons from left to right. people who stood in line would have something nice to say about him. He works very hard, leaving no one disappointed. DEFINITELY one of the coolest bartenders EVER! Roxy Theater! PLEASE GIVE HIM A RAISE! will definitely come back!

Security was awful and we're not checking everyone! When inside crowd from that event were smoking inside weed and vaping and had minor children in the venue! I was there a few minutes ago with my daughter thinking that the rules posted on the venues website and outside would be followed but was very shocked at what I saw! I will never attend any events there again or allow my children to.

Fun time but white guy with the yankee hat and grey nike jacket on stage was mad weird
