I had been wanting to try Empress forever and finally got to this yesterday for the LaRussell residency. We really loved it and it's like a mini Fox Theater or Paramount theater. Lots of nice classic detail and nice bar and good audio quality. Recommended

Went to see the tribute to the BeeGees. First time there since they converted from a movie theater. I didn't realize how beautiful they made this place. The place is like an old style theater but with a modern lounge area. I recommend to come down and enjoy it sometime

The food ran out on New Year's Eve at 7:45 pm. It began serving at 7:30. The staff is rude and dismissive. For $200 per couple I expect more. We won't go here again. And the manager doesn't respond. Perhaps go for the music but not for dinner.

When they have a good act for the lounge or a big show for the main room, it's a great place to go. I recommended highly if there show has the entertainment that you want Wednesday Thursday night live music is great. Recommended highly

Went to see a jazz guitarist that I really enjoy for just $10! The performance was on the lounge side. The lounge area has a bar, sofa, and tables and chairs throughout. It was a very intimate setting, felt like watching a jam session in someone's home. They had a pretty well stocked bar and the bartender knew how to concoct a perfectly crafted dirty martini. I didn't notice any food being served nor any waitstaff, seemed to be a small operation on the lounge side. They could use a refresher on the decor, it looks rather dated. Nothing major just an update on the chair covers and mirrors alone would do wonders for the space. Overall a nice spot to catch some live music at a nice price. Live music in the lounge area on Wednesdays.

This place would honestly get 5 stars because the ambiance. But there is a particular bartender there named Diane that I have constantly heard gossip about guests and coworkers. I avoid her at all costs because her drinks are not consistent and honestly she's rude and not pleasant. All the other ladies that I have seen work the bar are gems. I'm not sure how this one squeezed her way in.

My first time going to the Empress Theatre in Vallejo was on April 20th.The venue was elegant with very good acoustics to hear the marvelous voices and orchestra during the performance of Porgy and Bess!An adjoining restaurant was perfect to purchase drinks and snacks during intermission!

Great place for concerts and various venues! Empress isn't a large theatre. This provides good seats for everyone.
