Bob Hope Theatre

"won" free tickets through VetTix for the Tribute to ABBA concert. We took my parents to the show as a double date night. We had such a great time. The staff was super friendly. They assisted my dad as he had his walker with him. The theater was very clean and the seats were quite comfortable. The parking for the venue, not so great, especially for ADA individuals, but we made it work. The vibe of the decor was very "vintage". There was an old, retro feel to the theater. I'm sure there is a lot of history behind the curtains. I would definitely return to the venue as it small and intimate.

I went and saw Jerry Seinfeld here!To be honest, I had very low expectations as this is located in Stockton. But I was pretty surprised that the theater turned out so nice. The theater is beautiful.The seats are not the most comfortable, but to honest that was to be expected. We got nose bleed seats but they were not too bad. I could still tell it was Jerry down there. If there was another show at this spot that I was interested in, I would go.

First time catching a show here (Joe Satriani). Most of the close parking is on the street. Check the signage to to see so you don't get a ticket. There's also a couple public parking garages nearby.The theater is old but in pretty good shape. I was in the upper balcony for the show. It was a little cold as I had a light breeze from the air conditioning blowing on me the whole time. I could see the stage pretty good and the sound was balanced and not too loud.They'd set up a couple areas serving alcohol, beer, & wine. But I didn't partake on this visit. Nice place. I look forward to catching more shows here.

The Bob Hope is an amazing building. It's full of history and the acoustics are phenomenal.

A beautiful old style theater with lots of charm in the heart of Downtown Stockton!Most events here are great, but I wouldn't recommend a concert here. This old style theater is best for theatrics and does not have the best viewing for a concert or more modern event. Watching a play here feels RIGHT! This is where you want to be when watching a local production, play, or old movie. The atmosphere is great!

Nice historic theater Came here to watch a sold out show of Comedian Jo Koy. It was my first time in this venue. Very nice, intimate theater located in downtown Stockton. I'd say it is a city treasure! There is available parking nearby in the Downtown area and also a parking garage available but the street parking, if you can find one, is free after 6:00p. We parked on E. Weber Avenue and walked to the theater which was about a block away and two minute walk. Saved us on parking fees.The theater is beautiful and historic and is listed in the National Register of Historical Places. The lobby has gorgeous marble mosaic floor in the center and the event provided vendors that were set up serving snacks and beverages and there is also a cocktail bar. Inside the theater itself is classy with red velvet seats. It doesn't seem big but the theater has a capacity of a little over 2,000 people. We had Orchestra seats on Row O which was nice. I don't think there's a bad seat in the house. We were close to the middle aisle. There isn't much leg room in between rows so it can be bothersome when people get up to go use the restroom each time or get a snack/beverage from the lobby. The event staff were great and helpful though.When the show was over they didn't open all the exit doors. It took a little longer to get out of the building as 2,000 guests crammed for those doors. Eventually, we made it out. Overall, very nice theater and great venue for musicals, concerts, family events, a classic cinema series, and comedy.Review #1595

came here last night for the first time! pretty good venue, the seats are quite close together so keep that in mind. bathroom was clean. overall i had a good experience!**they allow small bags inside!!! their website was quite confusing about the bag policy, one page said no bags altogether and another page said bags under a certain size only. i tried calling but they have a weird automated phone system. just wanted to let yelp know so no one's confused! :)**

We went to see Britt Floyd and had a great time. This is a great venue and easy to get out of afterwards with traffic. We enjoyed ourselves!

Saw bill burr here awhile back. Excellent venue, the show was well ran, the staff did an amazing job and I would definitely recommend seeing a comedy show here. I'm sure it would be great for a small concert as well!

It was an interesting experience. We were so fortunate that after having major surgery after a serious accident that my grandson was doing well enough to attend his sister's dance recital. We were lucky to find parking close by. The line was all the way around the block to get in and so we approached the staff to let them know he was disabled. They really didn't care. The family had to go to the back of the long line and wait their turn and he was allowed to stand near the entrance and wait for them. I waited with him. Maybe they could have at least let him in to sit down and wait for them? We proceeded to the very limited amount of handicapped seats and were told that only two people could sit with him and that they would have to remove some of the people already seated there. We were lucky to find seats elsewhere in the theater where we could all 4 sit. So, now I already had the knowledge from a previous year that you are not allowed to bring in any food or drinks and so I understand that policy. I was prepared to buy a bottle of water for whatever price they wanted to charge but then found out that when you buy a bottle of water or soda that they remove the cap and keep it before handing it to you. They also open a canned drink before handing it to you. Since there are no cup holders or anywhere to put the opened drink, I can't figure this one out at all. The situation with the disregard for a handicapped individual is totally poor staff. They could have helped out just a little. The story about opening your drink and keeping the cap is just plain weird and I would really like to know the reasoning behind that. I realize that is theater policy and has nothing to do with staff. When an event such as a dance recital is held at Bob Hope Theater, we do not really have a choice except to stay home if that's the case. I would not go there willingly if I didn't have to.Make sure if you go there that your purse is not too big or you can't go in. I'm not sure what I would have done if they determined that mine was too big but I was nervous about it when I saw the sign.
