Gothic Theatre - Gothic Theater. - Music Venues Near Me - Englewood, Colorado

My uncle wanted to see the guitarist Tab Benoit, so I offered to go with him. I was new to this venue so I gathered as much information as I could. THE VENUE The theater is small and everyone in the audience can see the performers. The acoustics were perfect for the performance without it being too loud. STAFF There were plenty of helpful and knowledgeable staff people (in black shirts) to help with any questions I had. DRINKS They have two bars. A large one as you enter the theater from the lobby and a smaller one on the very top of the balconies. If you plan on drinking bring an ID because everyone's age is checked before you enter. You will either get a drinking wristband or a big black "X" on your hand that says you can't. MECHANDISE SALES In the lobby of the theater there is a wide counter where people can purchase merchandise with the performer's name or slogans. BATHROOMS There is a stairway on either side of the lobby. The one on the right (north side of the building) goes up and to the right for the men's bathroom. The other stairway (south side of the lobby) goes up and to the left for the women's bathroom. There is also a men's and women's bathroom on either side of the little bar at the very top of the balconies. I'm not sure how wheelchair people use either of these. ADMISSION Doors opened at 7 for the 8PM performance. We got there at 6:30 and there was already about 30 people in line to get in. By about 7, that line had grown to about 50 people. According to Gothic Theatre's website, when you buy tickets you can purchase a Quick Pass. This doesn't get you into the theater any earlier, but it does allow you to skip standing in the long, general admission line so you can be one of the first to enter the theater when the doors open. METAL DETECTORS Just like the airport, everyone goes through metal detectors at the entrance. SEATING If you want to sit, rather than stand, you have two possible options. The first option is to enter the theater as it opens so you have your pick of the general admission seating available. There are balcony seats along the right and left sides of the theater that look down onto the stage. In the back the theater has three balconies that look down, directly at the stage. The best general admission seating, if you are on a date and want to be able to sit and talk and drink, are the seats at the top balcony in the little bar area. It's like a private seating area because you are at the top of the balconies with your own bar and bathrooms. The other seating option is accessible seating. These are small roped off areas on the back sides of the main floor where people who are physically challenged can sit. It accommodates wheelchairs and is ramp-accessible from the lobby. There is no additional charge to get the accessible designation on your tickets, but one of you has to be physically challenged to qualify. My uncle limps from a bad knee so I got him these tickets. Unfortunately there were so many people needing accessible seating that they didn't have seats for us. One of the staff said they usually only sell 4 'couples' accessible seating. They don't cram the accessible area so wheelchairs can move freely in and out. The staff set up another seat for my uncle and I just stood next to him on the main floor standing area. PARKING If you aren't timing your arrival so you can get great seats, you SHOULD time your arrival so you get great parking. The theater has NO designated parking. But if you get to the theater at least an hour and 1/2 before the show starts you should have two options available to you. PARKING - NORTH OF THE THEATER The next street, a half a block north of the theater is Eastman Ave. Saturdays and Sundays there are no time limits to how long you can park on that street. At 6:30 we easily got a spot to the west of Broadway on Eastman. If you are concerned about parking at night, park on Eastman Ave to the east of Broadway. Across the street from Gothic Theatre is a used car lot that is brightly lit up. It makes the east part of Eastman Ave look like it's daylight. I also saw people parking in the parking lot at a building that used to be an Advanced Auto Parts store (north east corner of the intercession of Broadway and Eastman). But I wouldn't chance that because it might be a private lot that tows cars. PARKING - SOUTH OF THE THEATER There is a private, PAY lot right next to the theater. When you park there you can pay using your phone and a QR code. When we got there at 6:30, this parking lot was already 80% full. FOOD The stress free way for see a show is to arrive around 1 1/2 to 2 hours early. Park your car and get dinner within a minute walk of the theater. There is Moe's Original Bar B Q, Whiskey Biscuit, The Crab House and Spicy Basil. We picked Spicy Basil and were delighted! All in all it's a great venue! read more

100% not my favorite venue for a concert. Came here to see Geoff Tate and while doors were at 7p, we got in line at 7:18p and it wasn't until a little after 8p by the time we got inside the venue. The merch line was way better in that we only waited but maybe 5 minutes. The bar service even more so. While there were only two bar staff, we were served right away. The downside? Visibility to the performer sucks unless you are front row balcony or front row on the floor. Because there is always that one beanstalk that creates the "wall". It has to be a pretty big, amazing performer to get me here and Geoff Tate is just that. The audio was clear and his vocals, superb! read more

Not a bad little venue. I though the ambiance was really nice. The side walls were kind of this art deco painted facade that makes you feel like you are in an old David Lynch movie and the ceiling had red ambient light streaming through. Merch table was easily accessible and right at the front. The check you with metal detectors when you get in. Really easy to bring anything you need. Two bars. One downstairs and one upstairs. Some bad spots to stand downstairs but upstairs had some pretty nice little spots. Unless you are a die hard about being right near the stage, I would recommend going upstairs and grabbing spot early if possible. read more

It's crazy hot in there and the greedy owners won't fix it. AEG sucks. Add a fan to suck the heat out.

Incredible space. Acoustics were on point. Lighting was fantastic. Staff were friendly. As for parking, I would recommend doing Uber/Lyft, carpooling or getting someone to drop you off. Security moved fairly quickly. They do check IDs and give out wristbands or X your hands. The lady checking my ID even wished me a happy belated birthday. The space is beautiful and designed effectively. There are clean bathrooms on the balcony and there's even a bar, although our shirley temples weren't great. However, I like that they reduce plastic waste by reusing the cups that they use. Get here early if you want a good seat on the balcony. Or even just a seat. It fills up quick. The theatre was sold out so once the floor was packed everyone came flocking to the upper levels. Never once did I feel hot, thanks to their great working air conditioning that I felt throughout the show. I love the colorful walls and the entire aesthetic. The Gothic is truly one of a kind and a fantastic place to see a artist. read more

Well I'll be damned. Gothic Theatre is another incredible place to see a show in Denver. After driving by Englewood's infamous marquis numerous times, I finally had the opportunity to see one of my favorite working bands a few weeks back and the show was amazing. All Them Witches w/ Blackwater Holylight (2/5/22). Having seen both bands before I knew what I was getting in to. Maybe it's the combination of many things. The excitement of seeing bands on tour again, going to a new venue, etc. The adrenaline rush of live music is back and it makes me SO happy. But holy cow, the sound here is top notch. More similar to the Ogden than the much smaller Bluebird (which I've stated in the past as my favorite club in Denver). Hmm, after one show Gothic won me and my friends over. We were just so impressed with how both bands sounded. It's a testament to the artists obviously, but also to the sound engineers and the venue. Security was a breeze. Coat check was easy. Bathrooms are both upstairs. The circular bar made ordering beer fairly fast (for a concert venue). I hope more of my favorite bands add Gothic into the mix! read more

I'm going to write this review as a praise for the staff. They were nice and it's never easy to work security when the concert is primarily fangirls. While I was waiting in line, a staff said I heard him (Eric Nam) during rehearsals and he sounds really great which is awesome because it makes our job easier. There was a nice female staff that helped me put my VIP bracelet on and the Covid vaccine checks went smoothly. Be nice to the staff and they'll be nice to you. I had the staff members tell me that no matter what happens, I'm the first in line and the first to enter. For context, doors opened at 6:30 and I got there at 5pm and parked in the neighborhood behind the theatre. There were lots of parking available in the neighborhoods and there's no time limit after 5 read more

Went to a Gavin DeGraw concert and had the best time. Venue was loud but not overbearing. The line was long but went quickly. Gets super hot in there when it's so crowded. My water which came out of the fridge was not very cold at all I think they had just stocked the waters before the show. Did not go to the bathroom so not sure about that one. Love how there is free and close parking. Also plenty of places to eat and drink nearby. read more

DISGUSTING display from multiple female "security" guards last night. My husband and I were minding our own business when a belligerently drunk woman started screaming at me about how I am a racist because I plugged my ear when she was screaming into it. The woman proceeded to harasses us throughout the entire duration of the show commenting on how we are white and started fights with multiple others near us. We even witnessed her push another man after calling him a racist as well. This woman enjoys the entire concert then decides she is going to work up some fake tears to tell a security guard that I called her a racial slur... NOT TRUE . When we were confronted by the security guard I mentioned the woman was wasted and completely insane and she proceeds to tell me she wasn't drunk. OH REALLY? So, I didn't witness her down multiple drinks and falling over for the last 2 hours? She refuses to ask anyone else around us what happened when we told her there were multiple witnesses and escorted us out. When I asked her if she is removing us because we are white she basically looked at me blank acknowledging that, yes, this is why we are the ones getting kicked out. Other security guards started making comments and accusing us of being racist as we left without having any context of what happened. They were extremely unprofessional and it felt like total reverse racism bullying behavior. Will not continue to support this venue after this incident. read more

One of my favorite intimate denver music venues. Total retro art-deco style and pretty centrally located in the heart of downtown Englewood. I know it was recently purchased by a large corporation (shocker..), so I'm not sure how it's changed since I was there in fall of 2022. Go early if you prefer to sit during a show. There are only a select number of seats along the railings that get snagged pretty quickly. read more

I'll admit, I'm not the insane music lover who has a favorite band and sees them play multiple times a year. There are many times when I don't' see a concert at all within a calendar year. This one however, has been one for the books. Maybe it's just because some of my favorite artists have come to Denver or maybe my tastes are changing and more is interesting to me - who knows. All I know is I truly dig the smaller venues. Recently I came to the Gothic to experience the Band Perry (along with Lauren C and Chelsey F) and it wasn't entirely what we expected, but was fun nonetheless. PRO's:  + Venue is conveniently located in South souuuuuuuthhhh Broadway, making it close to home!  + Great pre/post bar options are close to the venue, making for a great start or end to the evening. + Venue is large, yet intimate with a dark interior, plush seats (if you're fancy), a two tiered deck of seats and a large GA area for standing and dancing! + Full bar - with plenty of beer on tap, wines and a larrrrrrgeeee selection of liquor! + Staff seems to manage the crowd well. From entering the door, through the metal detectors, and the packed bar, Gothic staff run a tight ship. + Often times, artists will allow for guests to meet the band and snap photos - in a staged area! CON's:  - The parking is atrocious. The lot and street fills up fast. Best bet - to be dropped off. - There aren't THAT many options, within walking distance. - Who you see and the time you arrive totally determines how packed the space can be! - Drinks are super strong and pricey. I opted for a vodka soda with lime and it was a whopping $11. Word to the wise: don't bring your own alcohol. They don't like that! - It's obvious they don't always enjoy their jobs, as they can be a bit pushy and confrontational. - If you head outside for fresh air, there is NO-RE-ENTRY. Although the pros and cons balance each other out in this case, I know I'll be back to experience the greatness that is the Gothic. read more

Completely upset at my recent experience here! We came late to the after party with Seven Lions my best friend's hubby has a heart condition and wears a defibrator. He has to have his medication on him at all times along with his medical ID. First the staff was amazing! Kudos to them hands down y'all are amazing! We need more people like yall! however old Mr. grumpy pants didn't like it and as soon as my friend pulls out his medication he starts flipping out saying that my friend didn't listen to him when he said to get everything out your pockets. That he was hiding drugs which we had none! He didn't even given us a chance to explain everything he just kicked us out! Yelling and being irate. Made a horrible scene. I get it gets overwhelming but if you just calm down and let people explain maybe life would be a little bit better for you Mr. Old Grumpy Pants!! read more

I love the side balcony's and the bar balcony is the best , wrought iron railings , tables and stools. The sound system is tweaked in fucking perfect, I can't wait to go back , except all of the employees are hateful and treat patrons like shit , in all reality the urbanite employed their need a swift kick in the a$$ , the patrons are the bill payers , y'all better straighten your shit out because your big brother theater building is coming back to life to show you how to put on a rock show, that's rite the Lamar is giving a venue lift, , the Lamar theater built in Lamar Colorado in 1908 , and hosting live performance theater up into 1943 , the Atlas Theater company bought the Lamar after the competition's theater , the Pioneer burned to the ground. Under new ownership the Lamar Theatre Had good success as the baby boomer generation enjoyed all the amenities , myself watched Looking For Mr. Goodbar at the ripe old age of 15 as the Hollywood pg-13 and R rating system had been instituted, more to come on the Lamar as we build back the 27 ' stage , install all the bells and sound system whistles, throw in a bar with 6.0 alcohol, frozen drinks , beers and well.a mosh pit and dance floor will be the newest yet simplest creation , a VIP Balcony with full bar , side seating will consist of couches and loveseats with only 44 theater seat's remaining, The Gothic is pretty cool, but like all black , dark Gothic things it dies with the atmosphere, read more

We saw the Viagra Boys and the show/venue was incredible. The venue is beautiful and large enough to throw a huge banger, but small enough to feel like you're at an intimate experience with your favorite artists. The venue itself is great. Everyone we engaged with was extremely helpful and patient, despite the shrimp-fueled Viagra Boys shenanigans. Gothic Theatre has top-tier lighting, hazer, sound, etc. The venue is really kitted out for technicians that know how to use it. The VB show was absolutely wild. Shoutout to the staff member who very kindly asked *someone* to smoke outside instead of lighting up a bowl in the venue. Appreciate that *that person* did not get kicked out for being an idiot. I will be back here for a show soon. My wife and I had a good laugh reading some 1-star reviews on the way home from the show. (But if you're planning on eating nearby first, get some reservations!!) read more

Beware if parking in adjacent lot. It is a pay lot. It's not obvious, and they will send you a parking ticket for $50. Myself and the other concert goers parking there are the same time didn't see the info and thought it was a free lot. If you dispute it, the company says they have adequate signage. read more

The WORST venue I have ever been to. Denver did us dirty for the show we attended. Horrible. If you go and go early, be ready. They don't give you any water or any way to obtain any water. People were passing out and the "my cousin Vinny" look-a-like who loves to bark orders to prove his manhood was so condescending. No food offered. The ambiance is sweat, rotten plaster, and misogyny. Fuck this place all the way!!!!!! read more

So crazy to hear other stories of this out-of-control staff. Absolutely shocked they haven't cleaned house after my experience and the others I've read on here. Long story short: Bouncer that was already cruel and forceful all night (even to my parents, who just wanted to see a show and had to watch the staff's violent behavior firsthand) used excessive force on my brother, who poses no threat and has suffered from serious back issues, and threw him out for no reason, nearly tossing him down the stairs in the process. If you value your personal safety, stay far away from the Gothic Theatre. read more

This is a great venue. Sorta reminds me a bigger theater in San Francisco but in a much smaller a scale. If you haven't been here and you've been to the Summit Music Hall which is my favorite for now. The main difference for me between the two is the tiered viewing. Of course the higher you go the closer you are to the bar:) what's important to you? :) The show starts at 8. I thought when we arrived at 7:30 we would be early. Not at all. People were there sitting at the choice locations. Meh. Whatever. A couple of times there was a loud squeak in the mike that was unheard of but otherwise I like the acoustics here. The opening act was a band I never heard of. The main act was a girl I never heard of: Angel Olsen. I appreciate her in person better than when I checked her out on Itunes. Even her opening act was great albeit not my friends and I Style. The staff at the theater was very professional did a great job of screening people. Fast and efficient going thru the metal detector. Parking. Now that is a problem. They have a parking lot. If you're looking at the building it's on your left. It's small and tight. Or street parking. This is another venue discovered. Awesome! It's a bit far for me but discovering new places is always fun! Thx chuck! read more

The Gothic was an awesome venue! Small enough to feel intimate but large enough to not feel social anxiety. Getting there early for a balcony seat is key! You have a great view and a place to sit. I did not enjoy waiting in line in the freezing cold until the doors open at 7 whether you have a ticket or not but I get the purpose of the policy. The bar was conveniently located in the middle of the venue with fast service! The staff is a well oiled machine and very friendly and efficient. Bathrooms downstairs and upstairs. The show was amazing and the sound was perfect! Can't wait to see another show here in the future. read more

It's tiny theater but it's one of the classics here in Denver. Like other theaters like this, the shows don't go very late but there's lots of good food options in Downtown Englewood so grab a bite after a good show. They have some bar stool seating upstairs so get there early if you'd like a seat. Parking does suck so be careful and read all the signs so you don't get your vehicle towed. read more

My 1st time at The Gothic last night to see Mad Caddies with my husband and friend. The atmosphere was amazing, sound system was perfect. Staff were so nice and friendly. I have back problems so I sat on a little ledge. An employee saw me and said I could sit in a chair! This person ( I wish I remembered the name), could tell I was in pain. He had no idea how much I needed that! I was able to watch the show, great view of stage and I was comfortable ( actually not a bad viewing spot anywhere). I have been to Mission, Filmore, Red Rocks... and the staff here was the best by far! Would HIGHLY recommend catching a show or two there. I know we will be going back! It was a long drive after a long day but so worth it. MC , service and ambience were amazing! Thank you to The Gothic for making it a great experience! 10 Stars! read more

I've been here countless times, it's normally five stars through and through until this experience... If you keep reading... First of all: Weyes Blood and Vagabon were incredible. However, two of the staff wound up harassing a few of us who were waiting in line for merch. The artist who opened the show, Vagabon, was coming out to greet the people at the merch table and two lines formed the wrong way by accident. There was one for meeting Vagabon and buying their merch coming in from the left, and one to buy Weyes Blood merch coming in on the right. Well one of the older women, who had long black hair and was working the door scanning the tickets this night, decided to harass the guy in front of me and slammed down a stanchion to indicate that he should not touch it or go past it? Apparently she was fussy over him blocking an entrance but just LIT HIM UP super quickly and was not at all being fair. I believe she was being ageist just because the guy had a tone she didn't like or something... called him childish. The patron in front of him was like "what just happened?" The person behind me was like "she is being so aggro" after she slammed the stanchion down ... we were all confused. She told her coworker, who had a hoodie on and had a big white beard, about the "problematic" guy in front of me, and the guy proceeded to come over and harass ME! Like literally yelling at me "If you do this again, you'll be thrown out!" I'm like, "Do you hear yourself!? You are harassing me!". He proceeds to aggressively usher me towards the end of the line on the other side to make it only one line instead of two and ALSO slams the stanchion down to indicate where to go. After he was done yelling at me, the women who started this whole episode was like "no the other dude" after watching him harass me instead. Surprise! He all the sudden chilled out. Like wtaf? What is with these people being so aggressive and slamming things?? To really wrap up the mess, the person running the merch table was like "you are not going to harass our customers like that I have zero tolerance for that and I am definitely reporting you!" and profusely apologized to us all waiting in the now "correct" line. What happened? Clearly a miscommunication. Could it have been avoided? Absolutely. Should we tolerate harassment at a music venue like that? Never. I was shocked. It distracted me during Weyes Blood because I couldn't stop thinking about how unfair they were being and how I almost got thrown out for literally standing there. Yikes... read more

Super cool venue!!! But the security, specifically a shorter man with a buzz cut, was EXTREMELY RUDE and unreasonable. When I went to the lost and found to locate my missing phone, he inexplicably kicked me out of the venue and never explained why. I followed all the directions of the staff and did exactly what the overly aggressive security guard told me to, but he still bullied me. The guy should be disciplined for absolutely terrible customer service. read more

If Pee Wee Herman and Joseph Stalin ever joined ranks to run a night club, it would undoubtebly be The Gothic Theater. Recently, a tour of triplets made their way to Denver. Unfortunately for their fans, they ended up at the last venue where 1990's technicolor dreams and public drinking fountains go to die. With no descript website on what to expect from this "iconic" location, fans were told that check in was at 2:00 pm. While it was explained that parking may be hit or miss, most chose to uber or lyft (some at 11:00 am) and hope for the best. Due to the tardiness of staff checking in the pre-teen to twenty something girls, hope was all they had. As they stood in the sun for countless hours they were told to "make ze zingle line" as the staff was worried about the traffic so close to those huddling under the shade of the scant trees while dying of thirst. Once inside, albeit late, young girls were shoved into further lines, at least indoors and out of the heat, to be told, "Move along ladies, keep going" while meeting their much-anticipated celebrities. Parents who dared to go up to the bar to get their children water were greeted by a sweet blonde, dressed like a grade school crossing guard, were told that the bar would not open until 6:30 pm. At this time it was 5:00 pm and most of the children had been standing outside since 1:30 pm with no hydration. (Did I mention that they would not let you bring water bottles inside unless you emptied them out but could then fill them at the water fountains circa 1920?). Even though the bartenders are there, they are most certainly not there to serve you. Which you will understand once they have noticed you are the only parent at the bar at 6:15 pm, desperate to get water for your daughter. As they ignore you and serve all others first, who came after you, you will finally receive your four overpriced bottles of H2O. Served up by two middle aged, bitter bartenders, who I can only assume wear vintage Beatles T shirts and make their kids eat off of paper plates. Once inside, the girls were allowed to smash each other up against the gate in front of the stage. Not to worry, the girls looked out for each other, and as young teens fainted from dehydration and hours of standing, their friends carried them out. (The bar, the only sanitary place to purchase water, still was not open.) Contemporary music continued to be blasted as the crowd, who by 7:30 pm had proven they were loyal fans and had paid over $250.00 each for this "incredible" experience, were told that the show would be starting late as all the General Admission needed to be let in before the show began. Of course, this was only fair. 8:00 pm and the show is off! It was great! Even though the boys had to race through and even had to sabotage a Jenga tower to bring the show to a close so as to end on time at 9:00 pm. $900.00. 2:00 pm to 9:00 pm. No food. No water. Starving and exhausted by the time we were home at 10:00 pm. All for a 1 hour show. I would rather stay home and gorge on Taco Bell with a chaser of ipecac syrup before I would ever attend anything at the Gothic Theater again. read more

I made my first visit to the Gothic Theatre when my cousin and I went to see Andy Grammer a few weeks ago. Let me say, this is a small, yet lively venue, which makes this a fun place for a concert. We found our way to the balcony where the view was amazing! There are rows of bar countertops with stool seatings, so if you arrive early enough you can find a seat! It was packed when we arrived and found ourselves standing on the balcony, but it's a small space, and you can see the stage from almost any seat in the venue. The light and sound system were perfect for the size of the space. Although there is literally no parking for this venue, which can be tricky, I would definitely come back and see more concerts here! read more

The staff at this places are incredibly rude and will flat out assault people for no reason. Some 200lbs. man kicked me out of the disabled seating area because I didn't look disabled enough (I have scoliosis and chronic pain) and then body blocked my exit to another area of the floor for no reason except to power trip. Fast forward to later when it was time for a Meet & Greet-- which I paid a damn lot of money for-- and the staff rudely corralled people who were just trying to line up as if everyone was intentionally trying to cut the line. I went to the end which was almost out the entire door and another staff member informed me that having a VIP pass meant I got to go to the front of line. So I shuffled back to the front just to encounter the 200lbs man with an attitude again who told me my VIP pass meant nothing and said I needed to get out if I didn't have the meet & greet arm band. Which I did, and then proceeded to explain that his coworker directed me to the front. This man interrupted me, talked over me, started treating my poorly again because apparently paying $130 for a VIP Meet & Greet meant nothing to him. I got frustrated and next thing I know this dude grappled me and screamed in my ear about how I "can't talk to people like that." He bruised my arms, his wanna-be cop bouncer buddies pushed me out the door in -10C weather with no jacket and without my car keys, and one of them kicked me in the crotch. They refused to get my jacket and told me to "come back tomorrow." In a town I didn't live in. In the freezing cold. Do NOT. EVER. Come to this venue. IT IS NOT WORTH IT. They kept my partner's debit card, too. These people need to be sued and this place needs to be shut down. It's not a fun space to be in and this is not how you treat people that invested over $200 in what is clearly a horrendously unprofessional business. Edit: The same man that another reviewer published the face of in a photo is the person who assaulted me. read more

I was really surprised by how many awesome bands come thru to this place. I've seen Phantogram, Future Islands, Wax Tailor so far and will most likely be here many more times in the future for more shows. The venue is small but offers different levels for viewing. It's easy to get a spot up front by the performers and people aren't pushy. I even had a gentleman pull me forward to stand in front of him because I was probably the shortest attender there. Thumbs up for courteous people! Downside is there's 1 bathroom (I think). read more

Such a great venue. Aged but clean. Intimate. We saw Steeldrivers here. Great concert. Most important for this review though is that the staff was excellent. Bartenders were very fast and courteous. People, make or break reviews. These people showed out. read more

I live quite close to the Gothic Theater and it makes me so happy to have a live music venue in Englewood! Surprisingly for such a small venue, they have some really good acts come through all year long. I have seen artists like Cut Copy, Diplo, and Robert Randolph here. Most recently I saw Big Freedia and it was a great experience. The bar staff really move people through so you don't stand for too long without getting drinks. They have a lot of drinks in cans: beer, white claw, Infinite Monkey wines so you don't have to rely on mixed drinks or paying for top shelf liquor. The venue itself is very small but with tiered standing it is easy to see, balcony seats are also available for larger shows and provide awesome views. Check the Gothic's calendar out and see if there is an artist coming and GO! read more

I attended Muzzy Bear March 29, 2019. I had a blast at the show. I always have fun when attending shows at the Gothic Theatre. Great sound, clean venue overall, friendly staff, and you guys have a lot of big artists. 1 star review was for the bouncer/security guard who used excessive force on me and kicked me out for absolutely no reason. Here is what happened: I was talking to a new friend who offered a hit of her Juul. I went to smell the Juul pod to double check and make sure it was only Juul not THC or whatever else. I wanted to makes sure it was an official Juul pod because I am currently 599 days (19 months) sober and clean from all drugs and alcohol. So after smelling and making sure it was just nicotine I took a drag. About 10 seconds later I was surprised from behind and put into a full Nelson by a staff member. He was yelling at me to leave. I just assumed that Juuls weren't allowed. He then claimed I was doing cocaine. I was in the front row of a show with about 50 people in it, why would I be dumb enough to do that. Even if I wasn't sober I would go to the bathroom or away from staff members to do something like that. That's not the point. He treated me like I had a gun or weapon and was going to attack people. I would just love to hear a response from an owner or GM as to why he treated me like this. I was genuinely scared. Not that hard to tell if someone is on coke or drugs. You look at their pupils. I know that's not his job. He had some suspicion that I was doing something illegal in his venue so he kicked me out. It's fair, but a full nelson while yelling into my ear that I was doing coke. INSANE. I'll be surprised to get a response from management. read more

The venue is great, but unfortunately, the staff is extremely pushy and rude. Lighten up a little bit

Over the years, I have been able to experience several different types of theatres for live ska/punk shows. This was one of the most cozy venues I've been too. There are 2 levels with an open center area at the foot of the stage for skanking/moshing. There were bar stools with back scattered around the lower level which is tiered and on the upper level. This is nice for those of us who weren't out skanking to the ska tunes (stupid bad ankle). The crowd was pleasant, and the bands were great (of course). The acoustics also were very good. The parking around the theatre isn't too bad. It's residential, and there are signs up for 2h parking 9-5 M-F, so on a Saturday night, I had no problem finding a close spot. I really like this theatre. I wouldn't mind driving up here again if there's another band I'd like to see playing at the Gothic. read more

A bit divey, but intimate as can be and definitely a fun place to see a show. The mezzanine offers good views of the stage with plenty of seating upstairs. There are tables downstairs at the back as well, but if you're downstairs the odds are you want to be on the floor and close to the stage. The drinks were reasonable and sufficiently strong. Will definitely be keeping my eyes open for another show to see here. read more

See all

horrible staff. I was told to go f@#$ myself because I was holding a cup they wanted me to put in a recycle bin. And that I was also a piece of shi@ because I was about to walk away with a cup I paid $10 for. People at the entrance were cussed at because they were trying to buy merchandise. The staff clesrly didn't have the area of merchandise marked off properly. But the staff proceeded to belittle and cuss at the patrons trying to enjoy the show. read more
