Westside Pavilion

Pros: Beautiful setting in the Sierra foothills. Feels like your at a concert in a large Meadow/camp site. Cons: Bring cash, ATM's are very slow. Exit strategy to clear out parking lot was horrible. Traffic became dead locked for about 45 minutes after the concert. Tempers started to flare, parking lot attendants didn't seem to be concerned about clearing up the traffic.

Smokey Robinson was a bucket list show! What a great performer to see live at such a beautiful outdoor venue. Comedian Tom Papa opened and was just the icing on the cake!The Westside property is a gem of a place hidden in the foothills of gold country. Wouldn't pass up an opportunity to come back for anything. Plus they have Indian tacos & beer.

We attended the Bad Company concert here and enjoyed it very much. It's a little smaller venue than Ironstone but reminds me of it. There was plenty of space to throw out a blanket and chairs. Lots of clean restrooms, and easy shuttle pickup. Somehow we ended up leaving out the VIP line as we went over along the right side near the stage to get a closer look. It turned out we got out of there super fast. Sort of a hassle bringing chairs through the casino from the parking lot though and we didn't gamble as we had the chairs in our hands. I suggest a spot to hold chairs for concert goers. Other than that a great time. They sounded awesome!

I attended the Justin Moore concert on Memorial Day weekend. After driving for hours I was so excited to finally see Justin Moore. As Justin Moore was singing his second song a security guard on a power trip told me I needed to exit where I was and tried to grabbed me by the arm. He told me very rudely I needed a wristband. I tried showing my ticket he refused to look at it. Waited in line for a wristband and I was told my ticket doesn't require one. Wow!!' Go back to same guards where the entrance is and they refuse to help me. Apparently I needed to go through the lawn and ALL the people sitting on there. For some reason the guards said it's "not their job" to tell me where to go, I guess just to kick me out right? AND Where I was Standing before was right where I was supposed to be!!!!The kicker??? As I was leaving, waiting in line for the shuttle one of those guards was waving, smiling and then yelled "do you have a problem"I told him I couldn't believe the way they treated me and he told me it didn't matter. He was right, I emailed the venue and they could careless. I wasted over $300 on concert tickets to get treated like I did something wrong. Will never waste my money with Black Oak casino again

I've been to 3 concerts here so far and it a great venue. Tickets are reasonably priced and they have great food options and drinks as well. You can pay for general admission and bring low back seats. It's a very great outdoor venue. It is less than a mile away from Black oak casino do you can shuttle to the venue and avoid the parking. Afterwards we gambled and had more drinks at the casino. Definitely recommend!

When we first arrived, I was pretty impressed. The lawn seats were inexpensive and yet still decently close to the stage. Food vendors were fairly priced, there were a ton of outhouses and they were CLEAN! My only complaint about the venue was the event staff. None of them had the balls to move people out of the walkways, where they were congregating in front of all of us who were sitting on the lawn WAY before they even arrived. They made some half assed efforts to move people through, but when they ignored them, they gave up. They need some more assertive staff! We ended up getting way too irritated and left early. On a side note, I've never seen so many tatted up, raunchy women in one place

Beautiful surounded theatre in beautiful Tuolumne, and great sound, also great screens for viewing artists. The reason I am giving three stars is because of the staffs rude and overall unfriendliness. Security is also rude and unfriendly. Midland was a great group to see here. Will return again. Just won't be talking to any of the staff now that I have been here once and know what and where things operate! Customer service should still exist!!!

Came for the Bush and Live concert last Friday night. It was easy to find our seats, the beer garden area staff was awesome, there were a ton of food vendors (we didn't eat while there because we ate at the buffet at the Casino before coming, so I can't comment on the food quality; but it smelled and looked really good). It's your standard outdoor area and there are sectioned areas. We has seats and thought it was a really good show and place. It was pretty far for us to drive so I rather stay closer to home, but if the right band played, I would go back. Parking is terrible to get out of, but that's at all shows these days.

Attended our first concert on September 4th 2018 (Collective Soul and Three Doors Down) General Admission was $40 per person.Getting there is easy- the road signs are easy to see and provided good directions.Plenty of free parking. The parking lot is covered with wood chips to help reduce dust.Getting through the gates was easy (we got there about 20 minutes after gates opened). Our bags or pockets on lawn chairs were searched which is fine and to be expected. Staff that we interacted with were polite and efficient.There were a number of vendors there selling food. I got a wood fired pizza ($14) that was the size of probably a medium pizza at a regular place. It was yummy and I was very happy with it. Hubby got BBQ ribs that he LOVED and had so much leftover. They were a bit pricey but he didn't mind at all.There was also ice cream, Indian tacos, southern comfort food, burgers and hot dogs. If you're drinking alcohol you need a wrist band (free- they just ensure you are 21). They offered beer, wine, local cider and some mixed beverages. Lots of porta potties that we're being constantly cleaned. Lots of hand washing stations. The sound was good and we could hear the performances clearly.Ok...now for the two negatives. The show started late (about 30 mins)The seating is awful. The whole area is on flat ground so there are bad spots to sit where you can't see either because you're so far away or because there is a walkway in front of you. Staff tried to enforce the "no standing" rule, but a lot of people had a hard time with it because...well...it's a rock concert and they want to rock! If I could recommend anything to the planners, it would be create hill...or build more of an amphitheater type setting so we all have better views. We are excited to have another venue close to home rather than having to drive to Sacramento or the Bay Area....but I would really hope that the seating situation can be improved. I don't want to pay $130 just to be close enough to see.

I had such an amazing time at the Westside Pavilion watching 3 Doors Down and Collective Soul. Since I was VIP I was able to go to a secluded area designated for only VIP guests. In the VIP area there were very clean bathrooms and super short lines to grab food and drinks! All the staff members were very helpful and caring. The show was absolutely amazing! There was a short intermission between Collective Soul and 3DD, which was perfect timing to grab another drink. Over all, I would recommend any one to Westside Pavilion! A super cool and fun environment for a fantastic show.
