Kimberly M.

Forest Hills Stadium has such a rich history, and I was excited to experience DMB there. The sound seemed a bit quiet as the event started. There are not the same amenities as newer venues, but there is not a bad seat in the house. The smaller space makes it pretty easy to navigate from getting in to exiting. Staff were plentiful and helpful.

Amazing venue
Kim C.

It's like being back in time. Architecture is jaw dropping. Built in 1923 it was originally designed to be a tennis stadium. Who knew... In 1960 the space was converted for concerts and live events. The place feels special, previously hosting iconic groups like the Beatles, Bob Dylan and Rolling Stones. Its electric vibe still carries strong today. Tonight Shawn Mendes long awaited show did not disappoint. He lite up the night with all his fav's and even took to the crowd to add next level with his Houdini appearance mid show. As he pop out of nowhere into the upper tier crowd and surprised everyone. Truly a fabulous night

The stage and the seats

What a great spot! Easy on and off the LIRR. Good choices surrounding the venue. Easy egress and entry. I wish more acts would play here!

First time at this venue. I saw Chappell Roan and the sound quality was great. I enjoyed their variety of food options but they absolutely need more seating to eat. Many people were eating on the dirty ground as there are not enough tables. I was lucky to get a seat. Food prices were standard venue price gouging - $20 for chicken tenders etc. There are ample vegan and vegetarian options too. There's a massive amount of bathrooms that are clean. This is a huge win for a venue like this. The bleacher seating isn't the most comfortable and I wish that was actual seats with backs. Every staff member I interacted with was friendly. The train situation when the concert ends isn't great. Not sure why the LIRR entrances were closed so we wound up walking to the E train. I'd come back to this venue if someone else I like performs.

Absolutely love this stadium. This is such an iconic venue, small and intimate, yet large enough to get great sound, and there is not a bad seat in the house. Even the "nosebleed" seats are equivalent to the level 100s somewhere like Madison Square Garden. I've been to many concerts here and I've been lucky enough to see acts like Tom Petty, Sofi Tucker, and many independent bands I've never heard of. Everything is clean and well organized, with a nice faux grass space and many food options right before heading into the stadium. FHG likes to run their mouths continuously trying to close this place with their complaints, but it ain't gonna happen!

A little quiet. But the lights and TVs were huge for Jon Bellion. Easy to get into. All the staff are nice.

Forest Hills Stadium is a 100+ year-old 15,000 capacity-seated venue in Queens. Cool Facts: The U.S. Open was previously held at Forest Hills Stadium & concerts began at this venue in the1960's. It is close to 1.) Jade Eatery and Lounge (Asian- Fusion Cusisine), 2.) Near Long Island Railroad's (LIRR) Forest Hills Station, 3.) blocks away from various other eateries, stores & hang-out spots & lastly 4.) minutes away from the E, F & M trains at the Forest Hills -71 MTA Train Station. We visited Forest Hills Stadium last week to see Kaytranada live in Concert! Kaytranada performed 2 sold-out back-to-back shows & we attended the concert on 10/6. Arriving at the stadium, we first went through security & then staff scanned our tickets via the AXS App. There are multiple food / beverage vendors & a merch (shirts, albums, posters, etc.) for sale. There are unisex bathrooms. Individuals that purchase General Admission Floor Tickets are guaranteed floor/ standing access that is closer to the stage. We had General Admission Bowl Tickets & were on Tier 2 which consists of bleacher-style seating. Once we selected a stairway entrance, we went up and chose some seats. At Forest Hills Stadium, patrons choose their seats if you not in the floor area & are in a tier w/ seating. The concert was electric from beginning to end! Sam Gallaitry, Channel Tres & Kaytranada were all phenomenal! Every song, especially all of Kaytranada's music reminded us this was not just a concert, but a party!!! We were dancing the entire show! Kaytranada's "Bubba" Album is my favorite & it was one of the many great albums that got me through while working remotely from home during the height of COVID-19. When song "10%" blasted through the sound system, it reminded me of how grateful I am to have made it through that time. Everyone at Forest Hills Stadium had the times of their lives. The icing on the cake was Kaytranada & Channel Tres performing "Drip Sweat". Overall, A Great Show! Please bear in mind that if you attend a sold-out show @ Forest Hills Stadium, you run the risk of being in an area where it gets overcrowded. People that came to the concert late were standing in the walkway areas instead of going to find seats that had a less-than-desirable view of the stage. Security mentioned that this has ooccurred because it is a sold out show. This can cause a safety hazard & the hope is that Forest Hills Stadium can do something to address this concern. Other than that, we had a good experience. Website - foresthillsstadium.com Instagram - @foresthillsstadium

First time at this stadium to see Kaytranada on a Friday night. Many food options! We had rockstar chicken and it was good but could've been better if it was fresh. You could tell the chicken tenders had been sitting out. Bathrooms were busy but the lines moved and they were pretty clean when I went at the start of the show. I love the layout, you pretty much get a perfect view from anywhere in the stadium. Lots of stairs to climb unless you are on the floor, so beware. They do have people coming through the sections selling drinks so catch one and you won't have to go back down to refill!

They're lying on the seating map about obstructed view and also aisle seats. I've done obstructed view but let me know what I'm getting into. Live Nation venues are less stressful, with enough bathrooms that you can guzzle Liquid Death without worry (except for the difficulty of getting to places like Manasquan or Mastic Beach). The entry process was brisk. Egress is another story, especially if you're way up in the bleachers. Apparently because of the ongoing wars with NIMBYs, everyone's corralled into one street when leaving. LIRR is slightly quicker than the subway if Penn Station is vaguely on the way, but the time saving is reduced by an 80s Limelight/Palladium line.

Amazing staff accommodation to my gf with spinal bífida lead her directly to where she needed to be . Large array of vendors great seating overall except for parking a great experience . All the staff was a blessing.

Love this stadium. Went to see Jungle and signed up for the golden orchard VIP area. It was lots of fun. Played ping-pong and enjoyed a few drinks prior to the show. Seats are free for all within a certain section (based on your tickets). View is average and sound is great! Will definitely come back for more. PS - really cool to walk past the tennis courts on the way in. PPS - they also host other events - fit for foodies!

Line up

There are significant pros and cons for this venue. Pros: - good acts - good concession options - multiple water bottle refill stations - close to the train station - good customer service Cons: - almost impossible to park a car near the venue - you will probably have to stand if you want to see the show - there can be long line at the bathroom - you will want a seat back (extra cost) if you have a seat in the upper bowl

Ask the Community - Forest Hills Stadium

Attending eeeatscon tomorrow does anyone know how the 70-20 Yellowstone blvd parking is?

Are there different genres of music artists that perform here? I know it's obviously based on preference but I'm not seeing anything too enticing for the 2024 calendar?

Check the website

I know that taking the train is recommended but can anyone recommend a decent parking garage in the area?

The venue is located in a neighborhood. We arrived early and drove around and found a spot on the street for free. We also grab a slice a pizza at Mikes Pizzeria before the show. We had to walk a few blocks. It may be more difficult to find a… 

Do the ushers check if you're in the correct section, row, and seat when sitting in the upper bleacher sitting level?

Yes, they definitely check and direct you to the correct seat. After the concert has started they do not.

What food vendors are at the stadium?

Were you expecting sushi or the jerked chicken? You got a craft beer guy, paper carton wines, the usual Italian rice balls, chicken and fries, burgers and a hot dog vendor or 2. There's the Good Humor Ice cream guy, pre-made popcorn in bags, and a… 

What time do concerts end? Or is it up to the performer?

I've been to a few shows and none of them went past 10pm. Since the stadium is in the middle of a residential area I believe they limit how late the shows end.

Yesterday we stopped in for some food and drink and we saw that they were setting up tables for an event. It looked beautiful. We were told that they were closed due to the event so the wife went to use the restroom before we left. While waiting, I started talking to a very friendly guy named Joe about the Knicks. Funny enough, he turned out to be the owner. When the wife came out, I asked if we could just have one drink at the bar since we came all the way out there, and Joe told the bartender "Let these two sit and order some drinks". We sat, drank, and talked to the owner about business and life in general and it was one of the most pleasant times we've had at a bar in years. We are fans of Cityview (and Joe) for life.

Is it the most impressive view of the skyline? No. But that's not where this place really shines. What truly sells City View Rooftop is the space. It's incredible. You could easily host a full on graduation party, baby shower, or just about any event you can think of THEN add that you can see the Manhattan skyline. The indoor outdoor layout is beautiful and works perfectly for summer, spring, or even a crisp fall day. The sound system is great, and there are seven or eight screens along the wall showing different visuals, which adds to the vibe. Service was excellent throughout our visit. And finally let's talk Shirley Temples. As a self proclaimed Shirley Temple connoisseur, I can confidently say theirs were chef's kiss.

The wife and I walked into Villa Russo to meet with KIM in March of 2025. The wife and I had a vision for the theme of the party. Well let me tell you, Kim had samples AND PICTURES of those samples at ACTUAL events. These things made the decision making so much easier because you did not have to visualize anything. It was already there in pictures. To say that Kim led us by the hand and showed us the way is truly an understatement. We believe she went above and beyond what was necessary. We were a little nervous planning a big event like this. Having Kim alongside us every step of the way was such a relief. Whenever my wife had a question about the event, Kim had an answer. THIS WOMAN KNOWS HER BUSINESS!!! When we arrived for our event, we had Justin who was running the room and Riswan who was assisting him. At bartender, we had the sweetest young lady by the name of Minerva. Minerva knew everything as far as what attendees wanted to drink. She was very quick and sweet. Justin is a superstar. He communicated with me about everything and with the help of our DJay Roger, helped move the party along smoothly. Then you have Riswan. There was nothing he would not do for my family and friends. Upon arriving at Villa Russo, guests were welcomed by an antipasto platter. Super delicious and super gone quickly. Food is the perfect ice breaker. For our salad we chose the Caesar salad. The pasta course was rigatoni a la vodka. A BIG HIT with the guests. For entrees, our guests chose from Shell steak, salmon, chicken francese or eggplant rolatini. Everybody raved about the food and especially the service. If any of our guests needed anything, Justin and Riswan were super quick to respond. The truth is there is not enough space for words to really say how grateful we are to everyone at Villa Russo. From Kim literally taking us by the hand and making our vision a reality. to Justin, Riswan, Minerva and Roger, our Djay, Villa Russo AGAIN, DELIVERED a most memorable night for us all. EVERYONE felt welcomed and had a superb time. The food was fabulous. The ambience was perfect. The night, the most memorable we've had. Thank you so much to everyone at Villa Russo for making our night one to remember. We are truly grateful.

The bi-level bar and lounge was dark, swanky, and seductive. It would make an excellent spot for dates or groups of friends, like mine. We started off sitting at the bar, as there were no large tables available upon our arrival. However, after about 15 minutes, the host approached to tell us that he could actually seat us. I picked up my glass, which was wet with condensation, and it slipped out of my hands. I was able to collect it with only a minor spill, but the host insisted that the bar staff make me a new cocktail in case the glass had chipped at all. It was a considerate gesture that I greatly appreciated. Plus, since I had already taken a few sips, I was thrilled to get those back in a new glass! In terms of my cocktail of choice, I had opted for the Hot Tijuana Tease, a fiery blend of mezcal, blanco tequila, chile poblano liqueur, and lime juice. So, it was essentially a spicy margarita, and it was excellent. There were clean, crisp notes of peppery heat balanced with layers of robust smoke. My only complaint about the lounge was that the bathrooms were beyond tiny. There were two unisex stalls in a very tight alcove that also included a cramped sink counter. It was awkward and uncomfortable to share that space with another patron. Aside from that, the Hide Rooftop was a beautiful place with a friendly staff and interesting drinks.
