Roxian Theatre

This is an amazing venue! I have been here multiple times for different genres of live music, and every experience has been great. It is conveniently located to the city, has available parking, and is easy to get in and out of. Once inside, the renovated theater has plenty of seats, restrooms, bars, everything! They really know what they're doing here. Most recently I went to the Punchline show and it was freezing outside. Everyone had big coats, so I was glad to see they had a $5 coat check. They have a full bar with lots of beers and cocktail options. The sound is always great and you can see from anywhere in the venue. I will say it is a tight squeeze for a metal show. I saw August Burns Red a few years ago and the pit is not big enough to accommodate that type of music. Overall I really love this venue and am so happy to have it in Pittsburgh!

So, I made my first trek to the Roxian Theatre in February 2025 to see Jay and Silent Bob. I had been intrigued about visiting sooner for a Pink Floyd laser show but was hesitant based on being in McKees Rocks. It was dumb, and I should have went.So my wife and I arrived about 20 minutes before the doors opened. There were easily 75-100 people in line. They had workers checking ids if you wanted to purchase an alcoholic drink. Once doors opened it was very efficient to get in/thru security. Venue is pretty amazing overall. The restoration was done very well. Seats were tight, different drink options were available. As others said there is a $30.00 parking lot option behind the theater. I parked elsewhere. I felt safe before/after the show. I wouldn't pregame around here before a show. Definitely a quality venue for a show. I would certainly return.

There are a lot of artists I like who play the Roxian so I am grateful to them for helping bring these groups to town. However, there are a few things I just don't understand: For starters, why do they insist on a process that creates that longest lines relative to venue size of any stage in the area? I spoke with an employee who was even more exasperated but said he has given up on his suggestions to improve it being taken seriously. In any event, when there's a packed house, as there was last night, and it's a rainy night, prepare for a long, wet wait, and get there early if you don't want to miss the first band.The second item that just annoys me is the sound guys blocking the view of the band for a very substantial part of the crowd. The control area is in the middle of the venue, and there was little chance to squeeze into the front area last night, and the sound guy insisted on standing all night, so everyone in our area was treated to a night of the back of his head.A few tweaks could make this one of my favorite venues in town.

The staff at the Roxian Theatre was phenomenal, especially the young lady in the box office who was so helpful!

After 1st time visit not sure ill be back. Theb venue itself is clean and great sound (a little too loud for how small of a space) but with few issues. There is no parking when we thought there may be more street parking. We had to pay $30 to pay in a random lot. Also I'm shocked the bathroom is all the way downstairs which isn't very guest friendly. There should be a better way to organize the standing room only spots. You couldn't walk away to get a drink or restroom without losing spot. We got there early and had a place along the railing and afraid to move. I left with a sore neck, back and feet.

I came to town specifically for a show here recently. My experience was a solid three stars. Not the best but not the worst either. It started when we got there shortly after opening. There was a crazy long line, but I was really impressed with how quickly the staff got everyone inside. They had someone working the line checking IDs and enough staff to keep security moving smoothly. Considering how many people there were, they did a really good job. The inside of the theater was similar to one in my home town, just more squished together. One thing I didn't like was that the restrooms were down a long staircase in the basement. I can say that they kept them clean, though. As for the production and sound, it was alright. A lot of people were complaining that it wasn't loud enough, but I still used my ear plugs, so it was plenty loud enough for me. The folks at the bar were nice and the drinks were as expected. I think I spent roughly $12 on a High Noon. I wasn't a fan of the canned water either, but they did have free water available. I even noticed them handing it out at the front of the stage, which is always a nice gesture. The security was pretty friendly at the end of the night getting everyone out. This venue wasn't the best for the show I went to, but I can see it being nice for others. Worth checking out.

A small venue that seats 2,000 people. Newly renovated. Only food sold at this venue is chips and popcorn. However, there is a bar on both levels. Bathrooms are big and on both levels so no need to worry about a line. Recommend parking at the shopping center next to the venue so you don't pay for parking. Only things that was super irritating and disappointing was our seats were the first row in the west balcony and there was a cage/bars on the wall in front of us so we couldn't see! (See photo I posted, I lifted my arm up to take photo) This was disappointing because the show we went to was a podcast taping where they sat on the stage the whole time so we just couldn't fully see them. Strange that wouldn't be recognized when building the venue. We talked to girls on the opposite balcony as us and they had the same issue.

Really great venue.Love the layout and ease of access.Long entry line for the show we attended but it went quickly. Security were efficient and effective.Amazing acoustics.

We had a great experience at The Roxian. It's modern and clean. We had balcony seats for the Thrice show, and our view was perfect. Every other time I have seen Thrice, I've been standing, but now that I'm old, it was really great to be able to sit and enjoy the show. The sound was great, and I definitely appreciated the thorough security checks before and during the show. Bathrooms were well lit and clean, merch was easy to get, and others in my group appreciated the bars on each level and the direct to seat ordering. Would be glad to return!

This was our first time at this theater. First, parking is difficult. Some people were charging $30 to park. This isn't downtown Pittsburgh. We parked in an existing lot where the old drug store for Walgreens was located.When you enter to the right is the restrooms in the basement. To your left takes you up to the balcony seating. We had general admission which is on the floor and then in the pit near the stage. That's where we went. it's awesome seeing a big star and being like 5 feet from the stage. The feeling is unlike anything.I included a photo that Gavin Degraw posted and yes I was in every photo. When you're 6-7 that will happen. Place was great. The concert was awesome..
