    candles lit on the steps
    Alison M.

    Beautiful old theater right in the heart of Granby! I can't believe in almost 20 years of living here I've never been.... Last week for date night we attended a Candlelight Concert of the Nutcracker and old Christmas carols. It was beautifully decorated and all aglow with thousands of candles. I liked the side bar area - the old-world feel (think opera house 1890s) and the various opportunity for set-up and party hosting as well as the stage for the performers. Parking is super easy nearby in one of the numerous downtown garages. No complaints from me! Charming.

    Visited for Candlelight concert, nice venue for this will see what other events they have Didn't have any food or get drinks from the bar due to timing

    Went to the adults only escape room dinner challenge. Tickets were purchased via eventbrite, included participation in the challenge, 3 drink tickets, and a dinner buffet. The decor inside the theater was actually nice. I liked the elegant yet dark and mysterious vibe it gave. We were paired randomly in a group of other people to do the challenges with. Regarding food and drinks, you technically only receive two drinks with your ticket purchase rather than the mentioned three since one drink was a challenge itself, a Bloody Mary, (0/10) none of us in the group drank it because it wasn't good. You did have the option to purchase more drinks throughout the night at the bar though. I had a wine and a vodka cranberry (7/10). The buffet was just ok, food lacked seasoning and wasn't very warm. I put a little of everything on my plate to try but could only take a few bites before they announced that the challenges would begin soon. Overall 4/10 on the food. There was also fruit and cheeses as well as cheesecake towards the end of the night. I suggest eating beforehand or to arrive at the event early if u want more time to eat. I did really enjoy the challenges and meeting new people in my team. My team was the only group to complete all of the activities correctly so we won the event, our prizes were that we each could choose a bottle of wine to take home. We chose the rosé and the merlot. My overall rate of experience : 5/10

    I went to the Candlelight concert at Granby Theater. It was a beautiful venue and I enjoyed everything! The staff were very nice and helpful. They answered all my questions. I enjoyed a drink at the bar, they were efficient. The seating was easy due to staff being very attentive and hospitable. The Vivaldi quartet concert was amazing! I loved every second of the experience! Best time ever! Parking was easy, I parked across a stadium. I also enjoyed eating at the restaurant next door, that was so convenient! This place is awesome!

    This is a great venue! I have been here a few times. It's located in the heart of the nightlife of Granby Street. I been here for a musical, dance event and this time was for a comedy show. Main comedian was Mark Viera. I went with a friend and had side tables with cocktail service and it was pretty full and a good crowd of people. We ordered a bottle of wine to our table and the bartender was super friendly. The show was great and funny, funny guy! The bathrooms are up a set of stairs in the theater. Something I fun to discover. When walking in you have mirrors all over. YAY!! fun!! I sometimes have an attendant, but I didn't see one this night. The place is pretty big.. There are at least three separate bars and plenty of seating. if you get a chance to visit, check it out. There is parking available on the street and there are a few parking garages nearby. Don't miss out!!!

    I love this venue! I have visited many times, but as of late, the word on the street is that this place is closing soon or it may in fact be closed at this time. Nevertheless, the last time I visited was this past Summer. One of the local radio stations were having a party celebrating something and I was fortunate to have won tickets to the event. My babe and I arrived about 10 pm on a Sunday night and the place was already entertaining a great crowd. The drinks were flowing... the bartenders were looking sexy... everyone present seemed to be having a great time! I did venture to the restroom that was up some stairs in the theater... this was sexy! I love the concept! There was also room for an attendant, but I guess she hadn't arrived yet. Mirrors everywhere... a girls dream restroom!! The venue is huge!! There are at least three separate bars and plenty of seating... sometimes it's free other times you have to pay for a section. Nevertheless, if you get a chance to visit, check this place out. It's located in the heart of the nightlife of Granby Street. Parking is available on the street and there are a few parking garages nearby. Have fun and enjoy life :)

    Drag show, sassy saturday drag brunch

    10s 10s 10s Across The Board!!! Sassy Saturday Drag Brunch was honestly the most fun I've had at a drag show yet. From the atmosphere to the amazing performances from each and every queen involved! We need more of this!

    Had a fabulous time at the Lord of the Rings event! The food was great and they did a fantastic job with the theme. Loved the ambiance and everyone's costumes. I do have 2 recommendations for improvement though. While the music acoustics sounded great I couldn't make out what any of the characters were saying in the film. I hope they fix that in the future. The chairs were uncomfortable for having to sit in them 4 hours but that may have been because they were trying ensure they fit the theme.

    I can't promise that everything I write in this review is true of the place...or I should say of my recent experience last night. Fireball after fireball, vodka after vodka...who knows if I was actually even at Granby Theater at said check-in on the my iPhone? :) Is it true they are closing down? That's what I've heard. Bummer... I hope not. I'll add to what I haven't covered before. There's typically a cover to get in. That would deter me from going there but I've been lucky to be with the right group. Still...it's only $5 or $10. The VIP section is off the hook. Lounge around with your entourage and take lots of cool pics. Since my last visit they've done some really cool upscale lighting to the place that has given the venue a much classier touch. There's a table in the middle of the dance floor now and it looks like they've added some staging areas near the stair cases so the dance floor doesn't appear as big... I don't mind the table. It's a good place to park your drink while you get your groove on. The stage areas are cool for people watching. If I remember correctly they have a few tables so it's almost like a mini area for groups to hang. If you get the right DJ this place will certainly be off the hook.

    After some 'problems' over the last year or so, it seems that the glorious lady that is the Granby Theater has gotten back over the hump and is once again open for business. And that is a good thing. My excuse/reason for getting out of the house and hanging out on the Granby Corridor was LOMP (Local Original Music Party), a celebration of local music and artists that had its inaugural event here. The plan is for this to become a once a month thing, and we are all hoping that it has found a permanent home at the GT. The place is spacious yet intimate due to the multiple levels of seating and standing areas. I'm sure that this place can get really crazy when it is set up as a club....but as far as a place to go hear live music, this place rocks! The dance floor is spacious enough that you can stand on the floor yet not get trampled. Plenty of cool little nooks and crannies all over the place that can provide 'vertical stabilization' as the evening progresses. As far as a place to hang out a drink like a fish, well, maybe not so much. My one trip to the bar to fetch a beer didn't turn out so wonderfully, the service somewhat set records for slowness (my gawd, how long does it really take to open a bottle of Corona and squeeze a lime into it??)...and don't come here looking for low drink prices either, although it is probably typically priced for this type of venue. The problems of the past do seem to draw the attention of the local popo, you can usually find a cruiser or two out front. Don't let that throw you, though.

    What is the dress code here? Flip flops allowed?

    I suspect it depends on what event you are attending. Some events may have a dress code, regular evening concerts probably do not. However I'm pretty sure no gang symbols or attire is ever welcome. Flip flops are not appropriate unless for some… Read more

Their pricing was also perfect for our tight budget. We felt so lucky finding this gem. Eleise was wonderful. She always answered emails or made herself available when I wanted to visit the venue twice more after signing the contract. We had just under 50 guests, and the space worked beautifully for the romantic and intimate setting we wanted. We had an outdoor ceremony and used both the indoor and outdoor spaces for our cocktail hour and reception. The only thing I wish had been different was being allowed to set up a little bit the day before. I was told it wasn't permitted due to past negative experiences. We were able to rehearse our outdoor ceremony the day before, but didn't have access to the indoor space. Because of that, there was a lot to do on the wedding day, and my crew simply didn't have enough time to get everything done. That wasn't The Fred's fault, I should've delegated things a little better and asked for more help. Looking back, even a couple of hours the day before just to walk through the space with my planning team and place stickies around the place explaining my vision would have helped tremendously. Just something to consider when choosing your venue.

I wish they can do something about the landscaping because It looks like big bushy weeds growing everywhere but I'm sure that's part of the "look" For the inside there are 2 floors you can make use of that includes a kitchen on the first floor. The center itself is spacious and for what I needed it for, it fit the need. The place is dated and could need some major remodeling.

She helped me personal train and helped me understand meal prepping and what to look for in my foods and what I need nutrients-wise for my goal as well as my weight goals!
