I couldn't say enough amazing things about this venue. We had all the bells and whistles for the evening and everything was perfect. We were there to see Avery Anna and the show was spectacular. We purchased an upgrade to include the Lounge and Balcony seating and it was 100% worth it. Considering the show began at 8pm and the Lounge closes at 9pm it would have been nice if soda and water was complimentary for the evening. They did have some delicious sliders but it would have been nice to have a side and maybe some cookies. Other venues provide just a few more perks for the price but it was a great way to settle in from the crowd!! We sat on technically 2nd row and it was perfect. Such an amazing view and such a perfect night! read more

Great customer service from some of the workers . Wish I would have gotten the names . I would go back here for sure for a concert .

There were no aisles clear. You had to fight just to get out or back in. Security said his job was to make sure too many people got down in the pit. Not his job to keep aisles clear. Definitely a fire hazard so not safe!! read more

What a wonderful night seeing Santigold! We arrived around 7 for an 8pm show. Parking was easy, and I was so glad we were able to get a spot near the elevator. We stood outside in line for a while which wasn't great, but there was plenty of seating in the lobby once we got through security. Staff was very helpful and friendly, and someone told us about the elevator before we had to ask! We were in the seated area in the balcony. Seats were very comfortable! Great view of the stage! We didn't get to try the food (by the time I thought of it, the kitchen was closed). The drinks were pricey! Other things: bathrooms and bars on both floors, no AC in the bathrooms (or that's what it felt like), everything was very clean a read more

It's nothing like going to a concert out of a state to see your favorite artists. This past week I had the pleasure of coming here, and I had a great experience. I saw Chicago legend Common & New York legend Pete Rock. They killed the show, and I like how intimate the venue feels as well. This is definitely a great spot for concerts of all genres. read more

I want to preface that I have visited this venue multiple times in the past and NEVER had an experience like this. Everything was so disorganized and I'm truly surprised nobody got severely hurt. This review is from a concert (The Rose) on October 30, 2022- if you look at the date, October 29, 2022 was the day of the horrific Itaewon Halloween crowd crush. The concert had to start 30 minutes late due to poor planning from the staff. VIP was supposed to be let in at 6:30 and then GA at 7/7:30. VIP got in at 7:30 and the only reason I got in at 7:58 was because I was near the front of the GA line. Once inside, I was told not to stand in the aisle (understandable). So instead the staff watched as crowds of people flooded into the aisle and when asked to move they shoved their bodies into me and pushed me out of my spot. I couldn't move back into the GA area because of the influx of people and a girl with a wheelchair ran over my foot. Mind you, I was clearly standing within the taped lines of my area but she was having a moment and just slamming over anyone in her way. THEN- They opened balcony first come first serve. This started an ACTUAL stampede and once arriving upstairs a staff member blocked everybody from getting in because "they didn't have confirmation from the floor." It was one of the worst experiences I've ever had at a concert, mainly because of how the crowd was treated. I saw fathers with kids shoving their way to the front ahead of everybody else and blocking views, standing in the aisle. I saw multiple stampedes happen where the staff didn't count how many people were being allowed in a new area- a crowd surged forward, they let about 20 people in and sent everybody else back. When the people were sent back, they shoved themselves in space that wasn't there and completely crushed my friend who had been standing in her spot for over an hour. I had people's hair shoved in my face, my mouth, the feet were being crushed from every angle and lots of hands/arms jabbed in my stomach. The worst part was the day of the concert, the tragedy in Itaewon occurred where 100s were trampled in a stampede. You would think the venue would take into account a huge tragedy that just happened but instead I feared we could end up with the same fate. I did reach out to Buckhead Theatre a day after this happened and I never heard back. read more

Hi! I am about to leave the venue. My friends and I were let into the pit, everyone except me used the restroom, came back, no problem. I went to use the restroom, came back not 5 minutes later. It's a problem. I'm not let in. Right before the main band of course. I don't want to speak too harshly because everyone who talked to me was pretty nice but it's a fucked policy. I don't care if you have it in your ticket confirmation. It should be bold text in the subject header that not only is it first come first serve, but that first come is permanent and if you're screwed out of the venue you're permanently screwed. I will never, ever come back here. I decided to come here for this show because I was having a rough day at work and my friends convinced me a show would be nice. Now I have to uber to my house because the people at the venue won't even let me get to my friend to give me my keys. I actually have quite a deep disdain for this venue and I will tell everyone I come across to never ever come here and to plan on getting fucked if they do. Thanks! read more

Came here for the Trampled by Turtles show recently (saw them here also in 2018). Okay small/medium venue with decent acoustics. The Fast Pass options for getting to the head of the line and VIP section are an absolute rip off and DO not get goaded into getting those. I have never had trouble waiting in a short line getting into shows here and the VIP section is just a private bar on the 2nd floor (so not ideal if you are in General seating and want to secure a clutch spot near the front of the stage early, which I always do and honestly not necessary for the bar aspect, even if you want a drink quickly.) Parking is a bit of a luck of the draw in this area. There are very few street spots and you will likely need to park in a paid lot. I lucked out and got one of the last spots availability at the little hotel across the street for $20 but don't know how many times I would have had to circle around if that didn't work out. Drinks are what I've come to expect at shows run by Live Nation: way overpriced liquor options, but at least really good selection of local beers. They have two large bars in the entrance hall and one small one inside the concert venue. The one real downer of my most recent show experience was how packed they allowed the venue to get. It was difficult to even walk to the bathroom they stuffed so many people in the venue -- very different from my experience seeing the exact same band at a crowded, but not claustrophobic show in 2018. read more

Very old school venue. Made me nostalgic for shows back in the 90s. Nice sound. General admission. A smaller venue so makes concerts seem more intimate. Helpful crew but going through security to get in can backup. Make sure to bring a clear bag to make it faster for you. They have a bar as you go in that seems nice though I did not go there. read more

This venue was great! Not too big, parking garage right next door and felt safe. Staff was friendly and helpful! Loved the old theater feel with the glowing lights, the sound was also fantastic. I ate food from the upstairs VIP lounge and it was excellent! The bartender upstairs was fantastic also. Would definitely recommend! And I hope to attend more shows here! read more

I came here for the Eric Bellinger The Rebirth concert over the weekend. The weekend prior, I did a dry run (drove to the actual venue) to basically find parking. I will be honest to say parking can be limited and difficult to secure. My purpose for going ahead of time to see where the actual venue was so I wouldn't get lost. The previous weekend Feb 24 & that Monday Feb 26th, I called the venue number twice to ask about the parking, no one called me back. On the actual day, I still circled the street a couple of time to ensure I was parking in a secure place. There's a Bank of America across the street BUT you do have to pay to park here. The parking amount was 20 dollars for most of the nearby lots. DO NOT just park your car and not pay, you will be booted. I found parking down the street for 20 dollars. The same was for parking in Bank of America. I've heard there's street parking but I didn't see any near the venue. I found out this information from a young lady who I was standing in the line with. She's was so nice and helpful. This venue is incredibly small and does have a limited capacity. Google search mentioned it fits 1800 people in total. The general admission is standing room only which is okay but you do need to wear comfortable shoe wear. Be mindful to get there early in possible so you can get closer to the stage. Me and my friend were in the middle so we had a good vantage point of the artist(s) and stage. If YOU ARE CLAUSTROPHOBIC do not do general admission. Folks will be ALL in your personal space to the point they may obstruct your view and won't care that they are doing it!! Pay the extra dollars to do balcony or VIP if available!! I paid for expedited skip the line and could not use it. I bought two for myself and my friend. I will not do that and already mentioned this to the venue! Lastly, there was no INDICATION of where the fast pass was located. It was all just one big line and it took a while for the line to start moving. Although I did not partake in any drinks mainly because I didn't want to lose my spot, my fiend did have their margarita drink. She said it was good and it was 20 dollars but she discovered from her card company that she was overcharged for the drink. Nice venue for underrated artist but always plan ahead and do full research before going. It will save you a headache and time. read more

Great small theatre which is nice for a more intimate setting. Alcohol and food available. Friendly staff.

A very good place to see a concert. Nice sized bar and a decent sized floor. Decent parking around the area.

Love the way the floor is sloped so you can see from the back easily. Staff is awesome. Only complaint is the tiny shots at the bar. 10 bucks for like half a shot is crazy. read more

I came here for a recent "Be Our Guest" Disney DJ Night. My friends and I were worried we'd have to get there early due to the crowd. We ended up being slightly late & arrived after the start time but were through the line within 5-10 minutes. The venue itself was very breezy and there was ample walking room between guests and it was easy to return to your spot after grabbing drinks or going to the restroom. The event organizers created special cocktails that were super strong. They were good, just very strong. The bartender was super nice to me! Also quite expensive! The bathrooms were easy to find and very clean, and had multiple stalls. As a woman, that's a must! read more

Hubby and I went to see Mother's Finest Saturday past for our anniversary. I like the venue. It's small and intimate. Yes the chairs are old and the drinks are high. But it has great acoustics and we all partied like rock stars. We will definitely return if it's someone we like read more

What a beautiful venue! I came to Atlanta for a concert recently at the Buckhead Theater and had a great time! From the pleasant staff, the good acoustics and the (shockingly) clean for the entire show restrooms - it was a great experience. The food options weren't great - but it's not really designed for that and drinks were fine and priced normally for a concert venue. Say what you will about Live Nation venues, but they are consistent in the product they offer and that's a pretty good thing. read more

Came for a comedy show and it was actually pretty straight! The joint was clean, everybody was rushing to get people seated but they were still friendly though. Because it could have easily been they could have been mean to you or at least a little bit discourteous because there were so many people but that didn't happen. They had a couple of bars at the first floor area, and I don't think they handled that as well as they could have because the lines were at least 10 people deep in each bar. Maybe they needed more bartenders, but it did not break the expanse for me. Upstairs at a bar too so that kind of save the experience lol. Everything was all good, everybody was super cool, the staff was friendly, I would go to another event there. read more

I had an amazing time seeing Ayra Starr play perform here tonight. Everything was good vibes. The only thing I wished would've been better were the drinks at the bar. The mixed drinks that were sold about $20 a piece were well, overpriced and watered-down. The Buckhead signature drink should've have 4 shots but I tasted as if there were only two. The drink itself isn't a tasteful one and I wouldn't recommend ordering it. Perhaps try the strawberry vodka lemonade one. The parking garage is a bit small but there was parking behind the theater for about $30 conveniently (by cash or cashapp payment). read more

Nice venue.!saw Grateful Dead allmans !! Good time nice people. Smoking on outdoors .

I was at Buckhead Theatre many moons ago for a Christmas party of the then tech unicorn that I'd worked for. I remember enjoying the space then and I got to return this past weekend to check off a bucket list item. AT and I bought tickets in January 2020 for the La Oreja de Van Gogh concert that was planned for June 2020. We all know what happened between the two months, subsequently leading to the cancelation (but really, just a rescheduling) of the event. I ended up taking the refund, since I didn't know when concerts would happen again. Thankfully, it wasn't too long (in the grand scheme of things--though this damn pandemic has been too long as it is). Anyway, one of my favorite bands of ALL TIME touched down in Atlanta this first weekend of November and literally blew my gotdamn mind (alongside my sister, since someone had to stay at home with our kid :P). I always thought I would go to Spain to see La Oreja de Van Gogh or maybe Miami or Latin America. And I may very well do that some day. But I'm pretty frikkin' pleased that I got to see them at the intimate Buckhead Theatre, right here at home. The night was pure magic, thanks to the venue and the amazingly talented artists. Por eso esperaba con la carita empapada a que llegaras con rosas, con mil rosas para mí. read more

Mark and I had Friday night date night here this past Friday. We saw All Hail the Silence, Men without Hats, and Howard Jones. Because the venue lacks their own parking we utilized a parking app to prepay and reserve a covered spot across the street. We arrived one hour before show time. The line to be scanned by security moved fast and they were thorough and efficient. It made me feel safe and able to enjoy the show. We paid for reserved seats on the balcony. Row FF was perfect and we enjoyed the views. The sound was perfect. The seating was clean and spacious. The seats recline and have convenient cup holders. Service at the various bars was friendly but drinks were overpriced. Bathrooms were clean and kept clean during the show. Security staff were effective and kept the crowds in line. Dancing and extended standing was not permitted on the balcony during our show and that was fine with us. Patrons on the balcony could come and go as they pleased and go downstairs to dance. The entire venue was clean and well kept. We recommend this place and the reserved balcony seating. read more

been to a couple of concerts here in the past, this specific one OMD was great, such a good time, but the review is about the place, so here it goes, they have a great acoustics for concerts, they have an upper sitting area and a downstairs standing area, parking is super practical with several parking lots around, and after the concert is so well located that you can walk to a nice restaurant for a good meal afterwards, all in all great times every time I've been here read more

Came here to see a show on a Saturday evening. It's an older theatre which could be transformed from standing room or seated. They have chairs that are easily stackable. FYI, the drinks are PRICEY! Two drinks cost me close $60. The realization that i had to pay for simply being in Buckhead definitely set in but once somebody is on vacation prices don't matter so definitely chalked it up to experience and finding out in real time. If another show was held here, i would come back. read more

Good theater. But a lot smaller than you'd think. Although it can get quite crowded. There are some tables and comfortable couches to seat, est and drink while you're waiting for your show, but evidently is a bit pricey so it's better if you eat somewhere else before you get there. Got charged 20$ for parking in the street for the show I went. So I guess you can expect the same. read more

June 2022* S U M M A R Y I came here for the Adekunle Gold concert. I had a great time. From where I was standing there were great views and I didn't feel squished. T H E L I N E Finally a venue that does not hold the line! We arrived about 40 minutes after the door opened and there was barely a line. It was really easy to get inside the venue. First you went through security, which made me feel really safe. And then you showed your tickets and you were in. Took less than 5 minutes. T H E B A R The bar is what you can expect at a concert venue, though I wish that we would upgrade our standards just a little bit. They had a three tiered alcohol bar from bottom shelf items like Bacardi to top shelf like Hennessy. With that you could mix in cranberry, orange, pineapple juice or sour mix. Unfortunately you couldn't get any true cocktails like a Mojito or old fashioned. The bottom shelf was 10$ and the top shelf was 22$ for a shot and a mix in, with an additional shot ranging from 5$ to 7$. The cups were medium size. I ordered a double rum shot with cranberry and it was OK. For a double shot it didn't seem that strong though. They also had food options like popcorn, nachos, and maybe pizza? I didn't eat anything but the prices seem to be under 10$. T H E E V E N T So obviously the event will definitely depend on who you go and see, and for me this was a concert. I like the venue for a smaller sized concert. I feel like it was very easy to see. I was standing on the second level next to the accessibility chairs and I could see clearly. So I really appreciated that. It was a bit hot but that is to be expected with so many people in the same room. R A T I N G 1 start off because I wish they would have better drink options. read more

I'm obsessed with the new Buckhead Theatre--it was my first time seeing the renovated space (a reborn Roxy Theater), and I was super impressed.

Went to the Buckhead Theatre for the first time for a show this week with a friend . It was a great experience overall. Just a forewarning: there is a parking deck directly next to the theatre; however it may not be for everyone. We were in the theatre from 8-10:30 and paid $18. I believe it was free under 20 minutes and $2 after every additional 20-30 minutes. The theatre also had bars upstairs and downstairs with even more options upstairs. Service was great and bartenders were friendly. Overall look of the theatre is regal but intimate and really enjoyed the show. We stood in GA and people were respectable and the act was great and could easily be heard throughout the building. Definitely would recommend seeing a show there if you get the chance! read more

Buckhead Theatre - Entrance of theatre - Music Venues Near Me - Atlanta, Georgia

One of the best music venues in Atlanta, if you can get past what a pain the parking situation is. If you are coming on a weekend, you won't be able to find street parking and are best off ubering or, unfortunately, paying for one of the lots behind the building. They keep capacity reasonable and there is plenty of space to get service. The lobby is beautiful with two full bars--one on either side. I've never had to wait very long for service. Prices are reasonable considering the drinks are double or triple the size of typical drinks, and they do custom featured cocktails depending on the bands, which is fun. GA is on the main floor but doesn't get too packed. Upstairs is assigned seating that feels like a VIP experience even if you just have a regular seat. Super comfy seats and you can easily see the stage from anywhere up there. There's also a separate bar upstairs that never has much of a wait. Great place to catch a show. read more

Really enjoyed this venue! My first in Atlanta... Definitely will be back! Seating locations are all good... I believe, I was Row W.. in the back.. It was definitely a laid back place.. All employees were very helpful and seemed to enjoy being there themselves... Can't beat that!! Building is very secure with plenty of employees! Great audience participation... Small crowd feeling!! Only drawback are the seats. They have the straight back with little padding.. Can become a little uncomfortable. Other than that, we really had a great time. Took my 2 older nieces to see Margaret Cho!! Omg!! read more

I traveled from out of town to see Hanson at two back to back shows at the Buckhead Theatre. The location was convenient with a parking garage right next door and several food options within walking distance. The main reason I want to leave a review though was the amazing staff. Hanson fans can be a little intense (I feel like I can say this because I'm one of them), and we're not always met with a welcoming reception. I've been to shows in other venues where the staff seemed indifferent or flat out rude to us for showing up early, asking questions, and just generally caring about where we end up inside the venue. I really appreciated that every staff member I encountered over the two days was professional and kind. Those of us there super early were even given coffee and donuts! I didn't get everyone's name, but David the business admin was fantastic. Thank you for a great experience and for making us feel valued and welcome. We'll be back. read more

I went here for a concert. The had at least 3 bars open (upstairs and downstairs) and they served food. The premium drinks were $20. I don't know the cost of the food or bottom shelf drinks. The bathrooms were large and clean. I got tickets to sit in assigned seating in the balcony. I would have had a great view had other concert goers not crowded the rail of the balcony. Security asked them to move several times but to no avail. I got there early so I could park in the adjacent parking garage. It's not a big garage so not many spaces. If you want to eat/drink before going into the venue, there are restaurants within walking distance. Only very small purses were allowed and no weapons allowed. No re-entry either. read more
