Came here for a concert with friends and the layout sis not disappoint! The upper balcony seats are such a nice touch for those who do not want to be stuck in the GA pit on the first floor! The views from the venue are great no matter where you are seated! Very clean and safe as well! read more

I've been to multiple shows here and the experience is pretty consistent. I prefer it for concerts over a lot of other venues in the area. The lines move quickly, there's plenty of bar space to keep lines down and I don't typically have to wait long for bathrooms. The stage and sound are good and it's a pretty intimate venue for performers. There are venues that I specifically avoid but 20 Monroe is not one of them. Despite the ownership changes they continue to book solid acts and be a fun venue. read more

Ownership of this venue has changed, but it's still a good place for a show. I've been to several concerts since they first opened and the experience is decent. The lines tend to move pretty quickly, both to get through security and into the building as well as at any of the bars inside. I like that the stage is elevated enough to be able to see even from the back. There's an upper mezzanine with seats, as well as a VIP lounge area that includes a private bathroom, bar, and balcony, but the balcony is right next to the smoking balcony on the second level which wouldn't be my preference. Security is ever-present at this venue which I don't mind as they were respectful and not in your face. If you're having a good time but being safe, you're going to be just fine. The bathrooms are upstairs, which I still think is the worst, but they are spacious and I never had to stand in line for the restroom. They were pretty clean as well. I love that they serve snacks! They have bottomless popcorn, soft pretzels, candy, etc. They also have some N/A drink options. Overall I like this venue and look forward to seeing at least a couple shows here each year. read more

We have been to a few events here and they are fine. It's a relatively small venue which I appreciate. Even if you were seated in the upper mezzanine, you still have a relatively good view of the stage. What I don't appreciate is that they seem to nickel and dime you for everything here. Want to use the fast lane to get in early? that's an extra fee. Want to have access to the lounge? That's an extra fee. Want to use the special bathroom sorry that's an extra fee. Concessions are also absurdly expensive. At our last event, my husband got one beer that came with a shot of bottom shelf whiskey and it was $19. Also there seemed to be some staffing issues. It was supposed to start at 8 o'clock with the doors opening at 7:30 however we got there. We were told that the performer had pushed the start to 9 o'clock. However, once we were seated, it was clear the things were not running smoothly after the opening act introduced our performer, there was an uncomfortable pause before he ran out and said "sorry about that they literally just knocked on my door and told me I was up" there was no stage lighting, save for one tracking spotlight that nobody seemed to be manning because it did not follow our performer. Fortunately, he was a comedian and handled it all with humor. Between the horrible stage lighting, and no one manning the tracking spotlight it just seemed incredibly amateurish. I have been to high school performances that had a better stage crew. The biggest turn off for me, though was at the end of the night as we were filing out the staff was very rudely, directing people, almost aggressively herding everybody to get out of the building. Even those of us waiting for people that were using the restroom were told we had to wait for them outside. It was incredibly rude with no reason for need for the abrupt exit. For what we paid to attend this I do not at all feel like we got our moneys worth, but in the world of venues, you don't have a lot of choices. Overall, I give this venue a 2 1/2 stars but I'll round it up to three because they do get some fairly decent acts. read more

First time at GLC. Saw a religious band who talks about God a lot (Marilyn Manson) Great show but let's talk about the venue. It takes forever to get in that place! I lined up at 6PM for a concert they said started at 7PM I did not get inside until 7:30 and I had seats. Only negative part of the evening. GLC is really cool, staff was great (especially Ki). The sound was really really good. I have seen shows from Maine to LA and number one thing I want is good sound. Manson sounded fantastic. See a concert here. I sat in the mezzanine cuz I am old as f*ck and the seats are fire. Bar and bathroom right there but Ga is cheap and cool. read more

The venue is very intimate and allows you to feel like part of the show. There are many beverage and food counters. Beer was pricey at 12.50 a can for Stella and cash is not accepted, however the service was fast and polite. read more

The great things is they have convenient affordable parking and clean bathrooms. The staff who pointed out our seats were very friendly. The acoustics were spot on. The bar selection kind of sucked that night. I was told they normally have a full bar but they were just running premixed margaritas and less than great beer. The concert was awesome. read more

Staff is always nice and pretty on top of thing. It was very busy the night we were there

Went to a concert for the first time to see the Black Pumas. It's a great intimate venue. Similar to HOuse of Blues with the main floor being a standing room only section and seats in the upper level perimeter. We actually had seats and even though they were in the upper row, it was still a great view of the stage. Look forward to seeing more concerts. read more

I will never go to this venue again. I went to the Hippie Sabatoge concert with a friend and we made our way close to the stage when this couple left the front rail. They came back to rejoin this couple standing to the left of me and told me I need to move out of their spot that they had been standing in for 3 hours. I said this is general admission and there are no assigned spots and they had left so i didn't care what she said. The girls then started to threaten me, which I have on video. You can hear them saying I better move or they are going to kick my ass. The whole time the one to the left of me was elbowing me in the chest and I had both of my hands raised showing the security in front of the stage that I was not being aggressive. Then one girl goes and grabs a security guard who clearly hears her threatening me saying she's going to beat my ass. Then he tells me we need to move away from the front to diffuse the situation because they wanted to beat me up and they had already been there for hours. I moved with my friend because I wasn't there to fight anyone and I wanted to enjoy the music. What kind of security guard let's trolls like this "win" with violence and they got to stay at the show and I had to move? And since when do you get to claim an area because you stood there first? I didn't see that explained anywhere on my general admission ticket. After I stepped away I asked to talk to a manager. I met Ashley who was kind and understanding and said that wasn't ok. She did walk my friend and I to the front of the stage on the opposite side to try to make things right, however this has just not sat right with me. What's the point of having security if you let people threaten others in their face and they do nothing about it. Totally unprofessional and I do not feel safe there. read more

I saw The Front Bottoms here because they are worth flying from San Diego, CA for. This venue is newer and you can feel it. It's beautiful and has great sound quality. I did the VIP package and was blown away by our seats and the swanky lounge. Mariah, the sales coordinator, was amazingly helpful leading up to the show and the night of the show! She is so personable and attentive. I wish I lived closer because this is a wonderful venue. read more

20 Monroe is the newest concert venue in Grand Rapids supported by LiveNation. It is a great alternative for popular acts that can't quite fill an arena nor want to play at a place like Van Andel Arena or want to step it up a notch from The Intersection. My first time here was for the Hanson show. Yes, I know. They are my guilty pleasure and the 13-year-old inside of me can now die happy! We arrived just after open doors time and the line was wrapped all the way around the whole building and then some. I am glad I was able to get in with VIP access and skip waiting in line. The VIP access also gave us the ability to go into The Vanguard room which is a nice musically themed room with private bathroom, private bar, some lounge seating and a balcony outside. The only thing that was a bit odd compared to other venue is that when you walk upstairs for the mezzanine seating area the lady monitoring the area had to check your ticket every time you walked by her. I was confused at first and only thought she was there if you needed assistance with your seat and didn't realize there was a line, so I tried to walk by and was hold otherwise. Anyway, just never really experienced that before so it threw me a bit off. Other than that sitting upstairs was awesome. I am kind of beyond the days of standing on the floor next to everyone sweaty and trying to see. The seats upstairs are a good size and comfortable. The sound and lighting were great! Hanson rocked it! read more

My experience here, TRULY, gets better and better EVERY time I come! I visited over the weekend for the "monster's ball" event for Halloween and had such a blast! This event definitely exceeded my expectations.. since there was SO much going on I'm just going to list it all off.. 1. Circus performers and a man literally dancing in a costume on stilts as soon as you walk in (I would break my neck.. I commend you sir") 2. VIP room on the top floor of the event with its own bar, music, and balcony 3. Serve yourself pizza buffet with different options that you didn't have to wait in line for! (a little dangerous but every man for himself! haha) 4. Décor and performers on stage the entire time complete with a dj.(I really liked this because if this event was out of your comfort zone, you still had something to watch if you didn't wanna mingle) 5. Awesome people in some of the coolest costumes I have seen dancing the night away! (Two friends dressed up one in all silver one in all gold and had signs on them that said "Au" & "Ag" shout out to you ladies! Clever!) 6. Access to the bob from the second floor This event showed the full potential of 20 Monroe Live, they pulled all the stops and even with the space being at capacity, it didn't feel cramped! My new favorite venue in grand rapids, hands down! :) read more

GLC Live at 20 Monroe - Monsters ball view from the second floor! - Venues & Event Spaces Near Me - Grand Rapids, Michigan

Been here 3 times. Sound is good, venue is very smoothly run, quick to get inside with lots of security and efficient lines for entry drinks etc. It's mostly a large black box standing medium size venue. There is a balcony with a few rows of seating, which are built in, I haven't been up there. The drinks are really expensive. I also feel like the stage is not particularly high so it can be harder to see if you're shorter on the floor, but overall one of the best concert venues in Grand Rapids. read more

I love this place. I really do. And I'm probably a little more qualified than most to review it. See, we've now attended 6 shows at 20 Monroe and have tickets for 3 more. First, the sound. Oh the sound. It is definitely the best place to see a show in GR if you like to hear your music. The house lights are pretty rad too. It's pretty incredible to see a local band play with a national act level light show. We've now had tickets in all parts of the venue. I've found that I prefer the lower mezz for seats. The floor has been interesting. We were up front for a show, which was awesome, but another show we found ourselves in the back and the stage seemed like it was low. It was hard to see. A couple of nights ago, however, we went again and watched the last couple of songs from the back and could see perfectly well. Did they raise the stage? I knocked a star off for this combined with what I will agree are insane drink prices. $20 for a 24oz beer is beyond the pale in my opinion. The upside to the insane drink prices is that there aren't a lot of people getting out of control drunk, so maybe it's a good thing? Overall though, I am so grateful that a venue drawing national acts has come to GR. My wallet isn't glad, but we've already had an incredible time this year and I look forward to many more shows. read more

Not a bad place for a show....ticket prices can be outrageous though....$120 for Ted Nugent? Really? My girl and I seen Anthrax with Killswitch Engage here....supposedly the first metal concert for the arena. Seating was great...food was ok....burrito in a bag? We even had the chance to meet Anthrax after the show which was kick ass and sponsored by FYE music chain in Grand Rapids! But sound system, view of show and the concert acts and friendly staff is what will bring us back again!! read more

I dig this venue. It's a really nice size, so you feel like there isn't a bad seat in the house. I am super short, so the person standing in front of me always blocks my view so my friends and I headed to the rear of the venue to dance at last night's Erasure show and have a better view of the band for vertically challenged folks like me. At a lot of venues, security likes to puff their chests out and say no you can't stand there, but that was not an issue whatsoever here. Sounds like most concerts here the floor is general admission standing, which my friend said also is a good fit for this venue because you can go to the side bars and grab a drink and still be able to see and hear the band the whole time. Lots of reviewers criticized the drink costs here. Prices are pretty much exactly the same as DTE, which is where I see most of my concerts so I've gotten accustomed to pre-gaming and only grabbing one drink at the concert itself. Like DTE, it's only a couple bucks extra to get a craft beer as opposed to a Bud Light, so that's always worth the splurge. We did have to laugh at the drink special of the evening, which was named after the band we were seeing but was the antithesis of anything we could imagine Andy and Vince wanting to drink ... A Bud Light and a shot for 15 bucks. No thanks Lines for the bathroom weren't bad, the bathroom was clean and well-stocked. Sound quality was also good, although that may come down to the band itself as opposed to the venue in particular. Erasure has been performing for 32 years, so they've got this stuff on lock. While parking close to the venue is generally expensive and involves fighting traffic in a parking ramp or paid lot, we parked about five or six blocks away and enjoyed the stroll there and had free parking on the street since we arrived after the meters stopped running. read more

My girlfriend and I came here for their New Years Eve celebration and paid $60 per ticket. Upon arrival we were greeted with complimentary champagne, which tasted like bottom shelf champagne, but hey it was free. This was just the beginning of the night - Booze - relatively cheap. Which was good, considering the venue is owned by Gilmore which is famous for its club "eve" inside the bob, that charges a heinous price for a shot of liquor diluted in water! Venue - extremely unimpressed with the decorations and the interior of the building itself. For the decorations they didn't really bother to dress the place up for one of the biggest bar nights of the year next to the day before Black Friday. Literally a bag of balloons suspended over your head and some white linen on stage. I figured with how much they're making that night in revenue they could of ran to party city for some more white cloth or something to festive the place up a bit more!? The interior of the venue literally looks like my middle school auditorium laced with canary yellow drapes. For as new as the building is I'm surprised at how dated it already looks.... yikes.. someone needs to fire their interior designer because they're stuck in the early 2000's... it may seem little, but to me that's such a turn off. If I'm paying money to come celebrate I want the place to look a little more upscale... Overall nothing about this event was more exciting than a overcrowded house party with no official dress code. One person is wearing a double breasted suit and bow tie, and someone next to him looks like they crawled out of the clearance section at Kohls... safe to say I'll opt for another venue next year to celebrate. read more

This venue is one of my absolute favorite venues. They constantly have top notch shows in town. I've seen Regina Spektor, Ben Folds, Jimmy Eat World, Colin Hay, and am getting ready to go see Marilyn Manson at this joint. The only thing I wish they would change is to put some restrooms on the first floor.... it's totally weird that the only restrooms are on the second floor... it seems like an afterthought at best. Oh and here's a secret... the Mezzanine is worth every penny. read more

Last night seeing Daughtry was my first time being in this new venue. Everything from the check-in for VIP to the end (getting help to know which exit took us to food) was easy and staff was exceptional! This is an amazing place to see a show! Mallory on the event staff was super nice and helpful. There are numerous places to purchase beverages (which might seem pricey, but are comparable to any other venue or ball park) and some food options (pizza slices, brats, pretzels, pulled pork). One of my friends started feeling not so good, and a staff member helped her immediately! The security at the front was on top of any disturbance and kind to the rest of us trying to enjoy the show :) I would definitely recommend this venue to ANYONE and will be back in November!! read more

This is the most expensive place in town. $20 for a large beer is ridiculous. There is no parking close that isn't expensive. The lights are great though! The staff at 20 Monroe is a lot of new to the industry folks and customer service varies greatly from one person to another. So, If you don't mind spending over $100 a person to see a concert, no matter who's playing, then this spot is for you. There are much better venues in Michigan, with much lower costs to attend events. I can't help but feeling ripped off by Live Nation after seeing shows here. read more

Honestly, this venue is just what Grand Rapids has needed in terms of entertainment. I've often found myself disappointed with only a few relevant big names coming through the Van Andel every year and only a few more moderately successful/better known artists coming through the Intersection. As a mid-sized venue, it brings in the best range of national artists across all genres that can be found in GR. I can't speak for the quality of the bar and drinks, but it's still new and clean inside because it's such a new venue. I didn't interact with the staff too much so I can't speak for them, but I really appreciate the entertainment this place has been bringing in. read more

Love this place! I first came here the first week they opened and saw Shinedown. I was there again last summer to see Tesla, and then again last night to see the Blugrass Bands. They have made some major improvements in the time they have been open. They get everyone in the door quickly and the staff is very polite and professional. Nice, clean place with comfortable seats! Drinks are a bit costly, but you expect that at a venue like this. I will be back! Bring some big names! The Bluegrass bands were not all that great, but some great shows coming! read more

GLC Live at 20 Monroe - Love this place! I first came here the first week they opened and saw Shinedown. - Venues & Event Spaces Near Me - Grand Rapids, Michigan

I do not quite understand the negative reviews here, so here is my objective opinion. Venue - I have heard it is modeled after a House of Blues, so it is designed for convenient access to bars and minimally obstructed viewership. The overall design is wonderful and their lighting and audio are also great. Security - Yeah, it exists. No, you cannot bring pocket knives or anything that could realistically be used as a weapon. Pat-downs, yes they perform them, get over it. It's a music venue that offers space for 2,600 people, so I am not turned off even the least bit by their level of security. Also, they have been very professional each time I have been to a show. Oh, and if you can't maintain yourself while drinking in the venue, there is a likely chance of being removed. In my mind, the security does a great job of what they are there to do, mitigate risk. Bars -There are multiple bars and they are always easy to access. The larger shows will obviously have more bar traffic, but each time I've gone, the wait has been less than expected. I will warn you however, the drinks are pricey. Seating - There is plenty of multi-level mezzanine seating and a standing bar area on the upper floor. There is also a ton of GA space on the main floor. Extra Perks - It is connected to the B.O.B. so you can cross over when your show at 20 Monroe is over, and you do not have to pay a cover to enter the B.O.B. Greatest venue, no. Great venue, yes. read more

I revisited the venue and had a better experience. The Violet Femmes was a great show. The mezzanine were much better than the seats on the floor, however there were no floor seats at this show. The sounds was great from where I was seated. My only complaint was the drink prices. Just outrageous. $11 for a Founders beer, when I can get the same one for less $5 just up the road at Founders itself. After that I decided for a mixed drink. It had to have been the worst Manhattan I have ever had and the one I paid most for, $16, it was watery and bland. I'll go back, but I will be sure to get drinks before or after the show next time. read more

20 Monroe live is a cool place to go in Grand Rapids with good acoustics. Go in the VIP line, they take anyone. We got right in with ID and we're not VIP. The security likes to shine flashlights everywhere. Impressive lineup of concerts. Grand Rapids needed 20 Monroe live! read more

My partner and I planned a mini-vacation and drove from Ann Arbor and got a hotel room in Grand Rapids just to see one of our favorite bands play at this venue. As we finish getting our wristbands outside and try to enter the venue, a security guard randomly pulls my partner out of line and harasses him about being drunk and kept asking "are you okay?", but NOT in a nice way. The irony is that due to a medicinal condition, my partner cannot drink alcohol and we were both completely sober. Later when my partner got overheated (which can trigger his med condition) and took a break near the door, the same security guard tried to give him a hard time. The security guards were watching and even following us all night and neither of us had a drop to drink nor disturbed anything or anyone. Aside from the bullheaded security bros, this venue was great. The sounds, seating, and decor of the venue were fantastic and I would *maybe* make the drive back to see another show here but I do fear that it may not be worth the drive if we're threatened to be denied access by security again. TL;DR - Venue is great, but security guards are such bullies that it almost completely ruins the venue for me. Would not recommend driving to a show here from out of town as you may be denied entry based on the mood of security - even if you've done nothing wrong. read more

Won free premium tickets to a concert here last night. We showed up later so we didn't have to wait in line. The premium tickets allow you to enter their Lounge that has a private deck, bar and bathrooms. The service in the lounge was a little off-putting. The bartender hovered and didn't offer any suggestions. The seats were great and I would definitely recommend assigned seats. read more

The Good: * 20 Monroe Live is conveniently located in the heart of Grand Rapids. * You can access it through the 2nd floor of The BOB. * When the show is over you can drink at The BOB with NO cover charge! Score!! The Bad: * Absolutely no pocket knives! Not even the kind of pocket knife that you only use to open the mail! Beware - you either are advised to throw it away or walk it back to your vehicle. Security is not helpful nor are they friendly. * Now let me tell you about the seating -- if you are in the mezzanine section - be careful! If you had one to many (over priced) cocktails and your walking back to your seat -- you get the feeling that you could possibly fall over the people in front of you. No joke - since the row in front of you is so low. * As you've read in other Yelp reviews - the drinks are super over priced! * If you decide to wait at the 2nd floor entrance in The BOB - (which is better then waiting outside when it's snowing) it becomes super disorganized and super congested! * Ticket prices are just like the drink prices -- super over-priced!! Will I be back: That depends on who 20 Monroe Live can get to perform. read more

I went to see Miike Snow on June 23rd 2017. I had seen them earlier in the year in Detroit and they had a rockin' show so when they came to GR absolutely I wanted to see them again! The line outside moved quickly when the doors opened, very impressive! The inside is nice and spacious and I love how it is connected to the BOB! However, I feel the lights, and maybe it was just the show, could have been better. The crowd could have been dimmed more to put more emphasis on the bands lights they had. Overall, I will go back if a band I like comes in town. read more

Great venue for the smaller concerts rolling through town. Standing general admission with seats above. I prefer general admission. Not a bad "seat" in the house.

Great place and proud to have a venue like this in Grand Rapids. Went to the sold out Young The Giant show. Sound quality was great, the venue is spectacular and I spoke to the light manager for the band who said that this was one of the nicer venues he's been to. Things to keep in mind: * you may have to wait outside in line for a bit while they everyone gets through security. * reserved seating is upstairs and the view is great. * plenty of bar locations so getting a drink was quick and easy ($8 for a 16 oz beer, $12 for a 24 oz beer... Goose Island IPA). Not a bad seat in the house. Bottom line: the sound quality and light show were excellent! read more

They run you through security and go through your purse. They won't let you bring in a pocketknife, yet have no place for you to store it, and will not let you leave it at the ticket booth. They told me I could throw it away or walk it back to my car, which obviously there is no parking right there and you have to walk in. (What is this: a concert, a courtroom, a matter of national security?!) This is after waiting in line for a long time (explained by the thorough security checks). As if I'm going to walk back to my car, then back to the venue, then wait in that line again, and what--miss the show anyway? The sound sucks. It's either not set up or not run correctly. I have heard this opinion independently from the mouths of several musician friends. A beer there costs $12. TWELVE DOLLARS, that is insane. Including tips, it would cost me about $60 to have four beers! We asked if they had a place for my mother and her husband to sit because they are getting older and certainly not used to being out or awake that late, they said we could pay $40 extra dollars per person to "upgrade" their tickets. If you leave, you cannot get back in. At all. I did leave. I was ticked. Horrible experience. I would give it 2 stars because they do book good bands, but those bands coming to town does me no service, as I sincerely doubt I would ever go there again. You can tell they are just trying to make a ton of money and are not at all concerned with the experience of their customers. read more

Worst venue I have ever been to for a show! Seating is so tight on the floor, that you can't even shrug without hitting the person next to you. The only bathroom was up a double set of stairs. Bar and Concession staff we're rude/disinterested, and the bar lacked basic liquors/mixers, and prices were very high, even for this type of place ($16 for a very low end half pour of scotch). Will not EVER buy tickets for a show here. read more

So I took my family down to see the pixies at 20 Monroe live not too long ago this wasn't the first time I was at this venue I have many nice things to say about it and a few constructive opinions as well first of all the good stuff What a great new venue Grand Rapids has it's a perfect size to fit between the intersection and the vanAndel and even DeVos Hall. 20 Monroe live has definitely in the past year brought in fabulous concerts for every genre taste, good job to you for that. I'm also happy to see that many concerts have a variety of age appropriate opportunities whether the 21 and up , 16 and up , or all ages. It's nice to have the opportunity to bring the family on occasion to a great concert I've listened to the pixies. Since the 80s and now my 13-year-old and 16-year-old had the opportunity to experience them as well. I also appreciate the fact that my 13- year-old daughter and I were able to to get right up front and I kind of mentioned to the people standing around us that it was her first concert like this and that she was only 13 and that I had a cane due to my handicap and for the most part people were very polite to us not to knock us over. Finally kudos goes to the fact that downtown Grand Rapids lost power A few hours before and were able to get the power returned before the show started and the show went on. Now for my two cents in regards to suggestions I wonder how many other people were like my husband and myself here we spent about $250 for this concert and we decided we wanted to have a few drinks but once we saw The cost of a beer at nine dollars each we said you lose 20 Monroe live we won't drink at all and will buy concert shirts instead maybe you should consider lowering the cost of your drinks just a little and we would've spent more of our money with you. Next probably should do something about your bathroom situation pretty hard to find any downstairs lucky I am handicapped there was a bathroom I was allowed to use. And as far as the night of the pixies concert there were so many people out front and the doors open late and it started raining and you could have possibly brainstormed a way to get these people that paid a lot of money for tickets into the venue a little more quickly so they wouldn't get soaking wet. AnyWay thanks for a great show i'm sure I'll be back. read more
