Pabst Theater

We love visiting for A Christmas Carol every year! It's the perfect way to kick off the holiday season. The decor is gorgeous and the shows are so fun!

We saw A Christmas Carol at Pabst Theater last night and it was great! Beautiful costumes and amazing actors. It was quite a performance!I've also been to Pabst to see Goo Goo Dolls in concert, which was also amazing! I like the size of the theater (although I wish there were more than two restrooms available for women) and I love the history and decor. With that said, the seats are small and there is not much legroom. Sit by someone you know on both sides because you'll be cozy with them for the next couple of hours. Tip: make sure to grab dinner before or after elsewhere; Pabst only offers cookies, candy, and popcorn along with various drinks.

The Pabst Theater is truly one of the most stunning and iconic venues in Milwaukee! From the moment you step inside, you're transported by its old-world charm, with gorgeous chandeliers, red velvet seating, and intricate architectural details that make it feel like a piece of history. There's a real elegance to the space, yet it still feels intimate enough to connect with whatever performance you're seeing.I recently attended the Entitled Housewife show here, and it was an unforgettable experience. The acoustics are absolutely incredible--whether it's live music, comedy, or theater, every seat in the house offers a great view and perfect sound quality. Even sitting toward the back, I felt like I was right in the middle of the action.The staff is also top-notch--welcoming, efficient, and always ready to help. The whole evening was smooth from start to finish, from ticketing to the concessions. Plus, they've done a great job of maintaining the theater's historic feel while offering modern amenities. There's a certain magic that the Pabst brings to any performance, making it much more than just a venue.Whether you're a local or just visiting Milwaukee, catching a show at the Pabst Theater is a must. It's a beautiful blend of rich history and world-class entertainment that will make your night truly special. I can't wait to return for my next show!

The Pabst Theatre is such a lovely and beautiful venue in downtown Milwaukee. For the past ten years we have been going to the Christmas Carol, it's now a yearly family tradition. Each year the production is changed up a little bit to keep it exciting and fresh. Many of the cast members are the same year after year and they are wonderful performers. Milwaukee is lucky to have the group of theatre's and lively theatre in our city. We enjoy each year and support theatre and live music. Enjoy

The Pabst theater is located in downtown Milwaukee. There are plenty of parking garages that are around at an affordable price. It is a smaller theater which makes it great for a concert. Getting in was quick and they had plenty of employees helping you tp find your seat. I purchased seats in the lower balcony and they were comfortable and there were no obstructions. The acoustics in the theater are amazing, so hearing the performer you could really hear them. They are handicapped accessible for those that may need an elevator. The bathroom is located in the basement with plenty of stalls. They have bars on all levels I visited the lines move quickly. It's a perfect size for a big enough yet still feels intimate theater.

Visited Pabst theater for the first time last night to watch the Spiderman Symphony show! Upon entrance, the theater was pretty small, but had multiple levels for seats. The staff were friendly and the theater was clean. Popcorn ran around $6.50 and they also had cans of beer for $8-$9 each. I was super excited to watch the symphony perform and had high expectations. The symphony absolutely crushed it and blew me away! I had watched the 2023 spiderman movie in theaters, but having a live orchestra was a completely different experience. There was even a DJ on stage who absolutely crushed it. Overall, was a good experience, would recommend.

I love the Pabst theater for its quaint and old-school theater vibes. Any spot in the theater will give you a good view of the stage. The check-in is always seamless. They have two bars to order drinks at when you get inside with a sneaky, happy hour for 30 minutes about an hour before show starts.

Great pint sized venue to see your favorite artists, not a bad seat in the house, has a capacity of approximately 1300 people. 3 levels, plenty of bars to choose from, friendly service, an elevator exists if you struggle with stairs. The only thing about this venue that seemed off was that the men's room line was way longer than the ladies room line. I have never seen that before, it was a first, not sure why; and it did not matter which bathroom you tried, it was the same at all of them. Parking nearby is a non-issue, easy to get in and out of town, one of the great things about Milwaukee.

The interior of the theater is ornately detailed and impressive.The staff, save for a few ushers, were not impressive. One of the middle-aged women tending bar couldn't perform basic arithmetic, almost gave me back too much money in change, then chose to tip herself from my change without my consent. When I repatriated my money, I swear, she was starting to cry because she was frustrated and not good at her job. Last I saw her, she was being consoled by a male colleague. That woman was a fine representation of the staff, generally.I have no intention to return. There are other nice theaters in the state with better staffs.

Historical ambiance & great drinks. I've seen many shows here and keep coming back! We took a short Uber from our hotel so we didn't have to deal with parking. If you end up on the 3d floor it may be a little challenging to hear a comedy show.
