- triptixmomSandy Springs, GA43 contributionsWe have taken the ghost tour of the Fox Theater which I highly recommend for visitors and natives alike. Historical information presented in a fun fashion that all ages would enjoy. Interesting to see the "back of the house" and the inner workings.Written April 3, 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- TyBearSanford, FL17 contributionsOMG. This place brings out great memories from childhood and made me smile throughout my visit. It is a must see. Allow more time than you think. If you get as excited as I did, you will want to thoroughly explore each exhibit.Written August 18, 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- DJKAcworth, GA409 contributionsSo my daughter and I have been to five covers this year, all in different venues. This was a very cool venue, not a bad seat in the house, sound was awesome. We like the shops, bathroom and food area. It's behind you so it doesn't interfere with the concert. The only complaint is that the concert has to be over with by 11pm, if they could fix that we would so buy season passes.Written September 12, 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Amy SElkhart Lake, WI168 contributionsThis is the best thing I did on my weekend visit to Atlanta. It was the second to last night of their run of the entire works of William Shakespeare. IT WAS SO FUN!! Ebony, Trevor and O’Neil did the entire show themselves. I laughed so hard my face hurt by the time we left. We didn’t eat there but that is an option. We had a few drinks which were good and reasonably priced. Everyone who we encountered was fun and helpful. I’d highly recommend stopping here!Written September 5, 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Kim BCleveland, TN130 contributionsWe had a magical night viewing the performance of Handle’s Messiah. They did a great job verifying everyone’s vaccinations and processing tickets quickly. Everyone there was very helpful and made you feel like they were glad you were there. We are already looking for the next performance we want to see here.Written December 18, 2021This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Shelley ISuches, Georgia, United States10 contributionsWe have not been to a concert in..............many years. When a favorite band was coming to the ATL, we had to go. The Buckhead Theatre was fantastic! We upgraded to VIP for a very reasonable price, and thoroughly enjoyed that option! We will make another venture there soon.Written February 11, 2020This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- gbassdavisJonesboro, GA99 contributionsThis is a fantastic, intimate little venue. I can’t wait to go back. Plenty of parking behind it for $7. They have a bar and sparkling clean bathrooms. Very funky but safe area...not scary at all. Lots of cafes and restaurants near by. It’s the most interesting part of AtlantaWritten December 14, 2019This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- misscharm311 contributionsWe went to see Kirk Franklin and Maverick City this past Sunday. Once we finally got into the venue, everything was great. But….getting in there? HORRIBLE! Prior to, I read the reviews on here and believe everything you read about the parking!
The event started at 6:45pm and we got to the parking area at 5:00pm. I had considered paying $50 for the VIP parking, but I’m glad I didn’t. We parked right across the street at the gas station for $30. We were able to quickly park and get in the already seemingly long line at 5:10pm. We thought it wasn’t too bad because the gates were supposed to open at 5:30pm. WRONG! The line got ridiculously and increasingly longer as it ended up wrapping around the whole parking lot out into the “sidewalk” area on the main street. They didn’t open the gates until a few minutes after 6:00pm. While we waited in line, we were able to watch the chaos of the “VIP” parking. It took them MUCH longer to park, they had way longer lines, and eventually some were turned away when the lot got too full! 😱
When they finally opened up the gate. We were relieved, but that was short-lived because there came even more craziness. There were signs telling you which line to get in (fast lane, bag check, no bags, etc.). The staff basically said, “Forget that!” They had their own rules for what line to get in, which caused a lot of confusion. Another point (which actually in defense of the venue), a LOT of people had the wrong size/kind of bags and chairs. When they finally got up to the checking part, they were told they had to get rid of it or take it back to their vehicle. People were very loud and vocal to complain about this, BUT it was clearly communicated on the venue’s site, venue’s Facebook page, venue’s post that day, and on my ticket information. I was glad to see them enforce their rules!
Now remember, we got in line at the gate at 5:10pm and we didn’t get through the bag check and then the ticket scanning until 6:40pm! At this point, we were thinking, there’s no way they are starting this at 6:45pm, so we went ahead to the restroom (which was pretty decently clean and fast-moving although I was expecting differently based on reviews) and to get some food and drinks. At 6:49pm, we heard cheering and music! THEY ACTUALLY STARTED ON TIME!! I though that was completely unfair to the people who weren’t able to get in on time BECAUSE OF THE VENUE!!! So people who got to the show an hour and forty-five minutes before it started and were in line 20 minutes before the gates were SUPPOSED to open couldn’t get to their seats in time….that’s just wrong for all of those who were in line behind us because I know they didn’t make it in time. Overall, I would rate the parking, and venue entrance procedures a very weak 1.
All that to say, once we got inside, I would rate the venue itself a 3 based on food, drinks, and restrooms. The concert itself, I would rate it a 5! All the negativity regarding getting in there was worth the amazing praise and worship experience!Written June 7, 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

We had seen them before at Northrup Auditorium in Minneapolis; we were so impressed my husband surprised me with main floor tickets near the stage.
Ballet Hispanico is based in New York City as not only a traveling ballet troupe, but also as a School of Dance. They are impressive! We have seen them three times now and they do not disappoint. Some of their numbers are very serious and emotional, others are humorous. This was another excellent performance!
We were Supporting Members at The Rialto during this season and went to many performances. The Rialto is a very nice concert venue with good acoustics and comfortable seating. The seats are wider than what you will find at Cobb Energy Center or Symphony Hall and more supported. The venue is very clean and parking is a short walk away, although on a rainy night it seems a long way!
Overall we were very impressed with this venue across the many concerts we went to here. Make sure you attend the Rialto Series events because there have been other event(s) during the holidays that are not the same quality.Written September 9, 2020This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

And the floor seating is just fold up chairs. Again all one level so you are SOL unless the seats in front of you are empty. They cram the seats around the balcony tables so much that I can’t believe it meets fire safety codes. That said if you manage to get a good seat it’s a beautiful venue with nice lighting and chandeliers. For reference I was seated in section 200 Row AA Seat 21. I strongly recommend avoiding row AA regardless of seat number as you’ll have the tables in front of you and will not see anything.Written December 17, 2021This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- KristiK21Florida117 contributionsI attended a show several years ago at the old location and had a great time. I was back in town and looking for something to do and my family suggested going to a show. We got last minute tickets for the Murder She Improvised show. It was hilarious. We all had a great time and I love the new location.Written November 2, 2019This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- travelbugs53Atlanta, Georgia34 contributionsFirst time at Center Stage and we thought the venue was very good. We sat in the upper section (Section D, Row F) and had a great unobstructed view of the stage (saw The Office! A Musical Parody). Got a Diet Coke at the concession stand and it was only $2! Would definitely return here to see future performances.Written February 28, 2020This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Ron CGainesville, GA999 contributionsMy wife and I attended a performance and were amazed at the variety of acts. The acrobatics were stunning. We also took advantage of upgrading our seat, worth it.Written November 1, 2019This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- d hAugusta, GA67 contributionsAttended the play Sweet Water Taste. Excellent play with excellent actors. Great message in the play, comical and witty! Friendly staff and actors as well. We were able to mingle with actors afterward. Bios of actors were very impressive! We will definitely attend another!Written August 15, 2019This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
