Headliners Music Hall

It's been years! I came back to Headliners for the Dolly Disco and to celebrate the Louisville Pride Foundation and its food pantry. Parking was organized by the venue and a charge of $5. IDs were checked for each person, plus we were wanded and bags checked, even small ones.Service was fantastic, from those that checked us in to the bar. Opening a tab was easy and I never waited more than a minute to order a drink. Music was DJ'ed for this event and filled the venue. The bathroom doors felt the bass for some songs. BTW, bathroom was in great condition.Limited seating so be prepared to stand during the evening. Upstairs and main floor to view shows. I don't remember Headliners feeling like more than an older industrial building but last night it felt upgraded and had more of a personality with wall artwork and lighting. Would recommend this spot as a good venue!

How did I give Headliners only 4 stars way back in 2014?!?! Correcting this immediately!Headliners is a local treasure. Maybe I'm a bit more sentimental because I don't go to as many shows as I used to or it could be because we almost lost Headliners during the pandemic -- but this is a local venue that should be valued. It helps give Louisville a soul.I most recently went for the VHS or Beta reunion show. And I appreciate that I was able to buy tickets easily online, get in without standing in too much of a line and find a good place to stand even though the show was sold out. Headliners is one big room that's largely standing room only, unless you can snag one of the chairs in the balcony. And even for a sold-out show, it wasn't too hard to get to the bar to get a drink as well. Headliners brings in so many great acts -- acts that have gone on to the big time can say they've played here as well. Headliners, you have my heart! And I hope you realize that Louisville loves you as well!

Headliners is an awesome venue, no can deny that, but BE WARNED:I was the DD and order a few sodas through the course of the night, all were from the soda/fountain gun, not cans....I was shocked to see my bill was $16. I asked why when the bar tender said "oh we don't do free refills" I was in the Service Industry and still tipped 20% so I spent $20 on 4 tiny, fountain drinks stuffed with ice. I'm so mad I'm laughing LOLAre you all serious? How can you possibly justify charging $4 PER refill?!?! No signs saying sodas were not free refills as this is an industry standard. What a joke. Seems like you are trying to make up costs, but this is WRONG!!!Management....look yourself in the mirror for real

At Headliners Music Hall for the 89.3 WFPL Presents The Moth StorySLAM. YES! The Moth Story Hour we hear on NPR stations across the U.S. originate locally. There is not a Moth StorySLAM in Indianapolis, so off to Louisville (closer than Chicago). Full Bar available. There is also a seating area upstairs. The acoustics were good, although I was there for a storytelling event, I'm sure it's a great spot for an intimate musical performance.

Came here to see Wet Leg perform. It's a general admission venue, but seeemed that there was a balcony section for VIP. The bar is in the back. Two reasons this isn't a five-star venue: - the set up of the venue doesn't work. They have merch that is right at the entrance/exit, so when you have a sold out show, there is a line for merch blocking the exit. - it was freezing. We came on a wintry night and it was very, very cold, even with a sold out audience size. I do love their program that they use to resell tickets. Instead of going to StubHub or Ticketmaster, they use a third party service, so it's safer and more secure and the prices aren't insane. Good venue!

Headliners is a general admission concert hall capacity is just under 1000 with eight large round tables and balcony seating with cocktail tables, the remaining is standing room only. A large bar without barstools. The bar service is very good and well staffed. We were happy to enjoy a medium sized patio with out tables. The stage is awesome!!Sound system is great as well as show lighting. Note; lot "parking very limited" with a $5 fee. No street parking.

I never write reviews but for the people who are under 21 please read this before going. The people at the door are quite incompetent & the methods for checking if someone is underage needs A LOT of work. You'd think they would give underage people a wrist band (like they do at PLAY dance bar) but no, they use a marker that's about as potent as a crayola washable marker to put "x" on hands & act dumbfounded when it gets washed off after using the bathroom. When the guy pulled me out he asked if I scrubbed my hands & I said yes because thats how washing your hands after using the bathroom works. He then asked for ID because "my eyes looked glossed over" but that's generally how my eyes look after I take my meds, I gave him my ID then he replied with my birth year & I responded with yes because this is the same ID I used to get in (my drivers license). He then said I could not go back in for whatever reasons he came up with on the spot THEN was reluctant to give me my drivers license back AS IF it was a fake ID. Moral of the story I will NEVER be coming here unless theres some sort of revamp because honestly that experience alone was more than enough for me to blacklist this business in my mind.

They take all the right precautions before entry so everyone has a good time, the right price and always a great show.A Louisville gem.

Headliners is a great concert venue. It's small, so no matter where you are, you're near the stage and you can see and hear. In all likelihood, your ticket was no more than $30. The type of people Headliners draws tends to have a reasonable pricetag.The negatives are kind of true at every concert. You stand the whole time... It's 200 degrees in there... The beer is like $8/per... All that sucks. Or I'm getting old. One of the two. Probably the latter.Checkout Headliners. You'll enjoy yourself. Stand near the bathroom. That's where the fans are.

Ambiance is good. But I'm definitely there for the band not the bar. Remember to bring cash for parking!
