“Not a bad seat in the house”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed November 17, 2012

My son & I saw Dennis DeYoung at the Pabst. It is a small theater not a bad seat in the house & very historic. Ticket prices were very reasonable.

“Best concert venue in Milwaukee”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed November 5, 2012

Restored to old world grace and elegance. Sound quality is great. They've really expanded in recent years to bring in more diverse acts. We've seen everything from Ani DiFranco to Hot Tuna to Steve Earle there.

“Pretty...”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed November 5, 2012

It's worth seeing at least one show in this theatre. Beautiful inside and out. Nothing like drinking a Pabst Tallboy.

“Nice old time theatre”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed November 4, 2012

The line toget into the venue was sol long when we walked up. I was thinking it would take forever to get in, but they really moved the people in and it only took minutes. Nice that they have bars on a few levels not just the first level. Also,nice to have bathrooms up in the balcony areas. I really liked the old charm this place had.
