This charming theater is located in the thick of the heart of downtown Gilbert. As far as I could tell, they don't have a parking lot but there is plenty of free street and surface lots close by. Just a few minutes away by foot. All theaters have their pros and cons and Hale is no different. It's a intimate theater that probably can seat a few hundred people tops. Which means there really isn't a bad seat in the house. Well, let's talk about the seats. The space between seats is pretty cramped if you're tall (I'm 6'2"). Let's switch gears again. Concessions consists of snacks (no hot food) and beverages. During intermission, they bring a cart out to the stage so you don't have to go to the lobby. Nicely done! Reasonable prices too for a venue. The lobby area gets pretty packed right before the show. Rather than messing with the traffic jam, I went to the other side of the theater and went to the restroom there. It's a one person restroom (not ideal for a venue) but the restrooms by the lobby are larger. I saw Catch Me If you Can at Hale. Looking forward to my next visit!

We went to see the Turnpike Troubadours in mid December and it was a circus. A line literally around the block to get in because the metal detector wanded every single person before entry. Did I mention the pat down everyone got as well? It was painfully slow. Then they ran out of beer. How do you run out of beer (and all other alcohol)? We're talking cans of beer - you can stock as much as you want and what you don't sell you save for next time. Honestly, I've seen better run backyard BBQs than this fiasco.

Had a great time at this comedy club this weekend. We came to see Mohanad Elshieky, a comedian I…read morefound on TikTok a few years ago. I was happy to see him make a stop in AZ and was excited to get tickets. Prices were fair and easy to purchase online with will call pickup at the door - alphabetized by last name. We found parking nearby and there seems to be plenty of it (personally I would avoid any paid lots and stick to the free ones). The club itself is small and intimate; we were sat at the table right in front of the stage next to another party, but thankfully with a chair buffer in between us. I'm guessing when the tix sell out, it would be more crowded. They do have booths in the back for vip seating. I love that there's no drink minimum here and that complimentary cold water is served. I tried a slice of one of the pizzas and I liked it, it had shrimp, artichoke, olives and other toppings. Service was friendly and available. The host, opener, and headliner were all funny and we enjoyed our night here. I got hot during the show but may have been all the laughing. I'd come back and see another show!

It was nice to have options to choose from, from salad to pizza to appetizers. I appreciate that they were not strict about a menu item minimum tonight. That actually had me more motivated to order! I decided to try the Caesar salad. Unfortunately I didn't love it. The romaine was fresh and crunchy but there was too much dressing and didn't love the glamour so only ate about half. Server was so sweet and attentive. She was really lovely. One thing that was very off-putting was the both behind ours. The group there was so loud. One woman in particular seemed intoxicated and talked loudly u to her friends throughout the show. She made multiple very rude and profane comments towards others guests and the comedian. I would have really appreciated seeing staff/management address this, out of respect for the performers and guests. I observed several guests look back at the loud table multiple times throughout the night given ongoing distraction so just a bit disappointing that this went unchecked. Nevertheless staff were very friendly and kind.

PARLOUR DOOM Came…read morethrough on a Saturday night and this small bar was packed and only took about 50 people piled in there to fill it up. The place was not called ROOM for nothin. It felt about the size of a Master Bedroom. There were two 'rooms' actually; the main room and a smaller adjacent room, which would be like a big walk-in closet to this Master Bedroom. The big room had a few standing tables and the small room had some chairs and couches with tables that you can actually sit at. The smaller room contained a mini bar area that that you can also sit at, but was not being used to serve at the time. This master bedroom had a Master of Ceremonies playing music, but he was definitely a Master of Disaster on the turn tables. This D.J. had a pattern where he would play a song and maybe 20 seconds into it, people would start feeling the music, but then he would switch the song. Talk about killin the vibe! Well, there was no cover charge, so maybe that's why there's a neon sign in there that says "No Free Vibes". It was like they were the Vibe Nazis. The other atrocity was how he was tried to mix the tracks. He was trying to mix songs from every genre of every decade. The DJ was overlapping newer songs with older songs, maybe to cater to the age range of the crowd, but the result sounded like he was just messing around for the first time on new turn tables he got for Christmas. He tried to mix songs which didn't even go together or have a mixable beat i.e. 'Macarena' and 'In the End' by Linkin Park. This abomination was an insult to the artists and fans of music in general. To make things worse, the DJ tried to hype the crowd by talking over the mic intermittently, but all he accomplished was interrupting the songs. I almost had second-hand embarrassment for him. It would have been better if he just had a recorded track of songs and just played the preset music. I think you are better off paying for your vibes elsewhere if you want to dance or hear music. You would think, getting people drunk makes everything better and more fun, right? Well if you can't get them drunk because the bar service was taking such a long time, then you are gonna have a lot of bored, sober customers. I did not drink but all I know, for the rest of my group, it was taking 15 minutes to get a couple simple cocktails. You could probably walk to the liquor store across the street and chug a beer quicker than you could get a round of drinks. This place has potential. It was not a bad space overall for a lounge type bar. The décor, aesthetic, and lighting gave it a nice ambiance. They just need to get adequate staff to serve the drinks and play music.

Our visit to the Majestic Gilbert 8 was a phenomenal experience!…read more We purchased our tickets ahead of time for the new Spider-Man movie, only to realize we'd accidentally bought them for the day before. Thankfully, the superheroes weren't just on the big screen--they were working at The Majestic too! The staff made changing our tickets incredibly easy and had us happily on our way to enjoy the movie in no time. The drinks and popcorn were delicious, and the theater itself was clean, comfortable, and welcoming. All in all, this may have been our favorite movie theater experience to date! Thank you for turning what could have been a major headache into a minor hiccup and helping us enjoy such a lovely afternoon. We can't wait to come back!

The staff seemed disorganized, rude, and the overall time management was terrible. We waited an incredibly long time just to get our popcorn, while people who were seated after us had already been served their full meals. That shouldn't happen, especially considering how much you're paying. Overall, it was a very disappointing experience.
