    On stage.
    Bailey K.

    So I went to the landmark again last week for another concert. This time I sat in the Loge left side, all the way at the front, And for the most part it was a great view. However when the main act came on (In This Moment), there was a light that was at the back of the stage that was directed straight at me and literally blinded me the entire set of the band I came to see, to the point that I literally had to watch it through my phone because I had to look down. I could not see the main singer, I could not see what was going on, it was so bright that the only time I enjoyed it was watching my videos afterwards. I am super super upset about that. I love that band, I've seen them I think eight times at this point, I went to the show last year at the landmark and sat middle center Loge with no issue. However I paid extra for these seats to be good seats and it was not. It was not. I was actually pulled up on stage for a costume contest that they were holding during this tour, and my boyfriend couldn't even see me. In the recording, the light is so bright that I am obscured. It is very frustrating.

    I really enjoy going to see shows at the Landmark. I started when my wife introduced it to me for the first a few years ago. It's classy, it's classic, and entering into the theater transports you, which is a feeling I love when going to see a show. It's well kept and over the years improvements have been made, most notably the seating has improved and that was a very needed and welcomed change. My primary attendance to the Landmark is Broadway in Syracuse and my wife and I are season ticket holders, and I feel so grateful that in city so close to me we get to see top level talent performing my favorite shows and introducing me to some I've never seen. They have all kinds of shows though year round for a variety of ages. I will say the Theater can certainly feel expensive (so are the drinks and snacks) but I'm so thankful I can see top level talent locally without having to break the bank on actually going to Broadway. They have basic security which I appreciate for safety, staff and ushers are kind and helpful. You're in the city of Syracuse so there is a lot of street parking, there are lots nearby for typically a small price. You may find yourself walking a few blocks if you get there just on time. I recommended getting into the city early, enjoy a meal, check out the local shops and nab that early parking spot. Or I see others getting dropped off by Uber/Taxis all the time to just avoid that hassle altogether. Either way I hope you find a chance to go and as always Enjoy!!

    Gorgeous antique bohemian theater right in the middle of the city. Just looking around the lobby would keep me happy for hours. The ambience definitely makes any show you see here even better. Love the addition of the new bathrooms, cuts way down on wait time. Concessions could have a few more options but that's minor. There are certainly repairs that could stand to be done if you look closely, but preserving something like this takes a lot of time and a lot of money and they're working on it. I highly recommend seeing a show here if you haven't before, it's definitely a whole experience!

    The Landmark Theatre is a fantastic location to see a show or live event. The location of the theatre is wonderful, and the inside of the building is a sight to behold. Preserving the architecture and art of the location is clearly a priority. You can also find parking in plenty of nearby locations. Because of the style of theatre, you want to make sure the seat you're picking works for you. They can be smaller in style, and if you're someone who's shorter then having something on the aisle is the best option. I've never had an issue finding my seat, but theatre staff are also readily available to provide directional assistance to anyone having an issue. Generally speaking, I've always found the staff here to be wonderfully pleasant and welcoming.

    5 stars for the look and a beautiful old theatre. Most 'decent' size cities have a theatre like this, days of old. They are beautiful when kept up and this one is no exception.

    Jon Batiste in stage

    Saw / heard Jon Batiste tonight,a Thursday at at 8pm at this iconic Landmark Theatre in Syracuse NY. A little talk , a little song "Butterfly " and a lot of piano jams playing scales and repetitive notes. A one and a half hour show , with no intermission. News man outside had a video set up for channel 2 and 5 coverage. Jon has a following to a nearly full house in this ornate eclectic high ceiling building with a nostalgic closed circle ticket booth outside and a box office tip here: Will Call is outside in the next building. Staff was friendly including ticket agents. Seating comfortable with good views. Why 3 stars? The piano clearly was out of tune and off pitch. Mr. Batiste stared with a version of "Over the Rainbow " from the Wizard of Oz. (1939) He played it in high notes only, as I winced when his finger hit those clearly out of tune notes. He has been written up as a musical genius and he noted music channeled thru to him. So I was surprised that he didn't immediately stop to adjust the tuning or adjust to cords and play in other keys.But then, I'm not the musician. His fans however didn't seem to mind and he was happy with the audience response.

    Had a fantastic evening at the Landmark. The renovated seats are very comfortable and you can see the stage from all seats and levels which is great. Drinks were fairly priced for show time drinks, and you are not able to bring any outside food or drinks in. Staff are kind and are everywhere to show you to your seats. Great evening!

    I prefer the Seamark Theatre

    I have a landmark right here for you. He says as he pulls down his pants. This is a gorgeous old theater in the city, close to all the grand old buildings, and it's a lovely place to come and watch a show. It's a little small to host any major events, but nevertheless these kinds of places should always be preserved, as they are so full of character and soul, and a testament to the glorious past of ageing cities like Syracuse.

    One of my favorite places to see show be it a concert or a show. I have been to the landmark about a dozen times and have never encountered any negative experiences. From the outside it is an unassuming multistory building. But once you step in through the double doors, you're transported back to a time where attention to detail, art and wood work was valued/appreciated. The inside of the theatre is amazing. It is hard to believe that something so opulent is in such a drab building. Checking is seamless. Yes sometime there can be a wait for drinks/bathrooms before the show and during intermission but what place doesn't have waits? I do think people forget there are bathrooms on all floors. The basement is the largest one. As far as seating, it can get pretty cramped if you're not on the aisle. The theatre was built in the early 1900s and is deemed a historic building with no renovations to the seating area in terms of size of seats. I've never had a problem with sound in the theatre. I do think it can get a little hot if it is to full capacity. Otherwise I think the space is gorgeous with its opulent wooden works, murals, and lights. It's a shame that some of the fixtures were sold off when the theater was in hardship.

    So ornate.

    Cool, local indoor music venue. We had purchased tickets for an outdoor concert which needed to…read morechange venues because of noise complaints at the original location. This was lucky because the weather ended up being cold and wet. The space isn't huge and it's pretty unique because it looks like it was converted from an old theater. Since it was an outdoor show it seemed like the ticket sales were for a much bigger space. As the night went on the crowd thinned out and it was much more comfortable to not have people on top of you. Overall, I'm pretty impressed with how they configured a small space. There is a big bar in the back which sells drinks and pizza. There are registers reserved for canned drinks and water to help move the line along. There is also a vending machine to sell snacks. There is a slight decline in the floor so it feels like an outdoor show and if you are in the back you can still see. The big drawback is the bathrooms are super tiny. You could be waiting for a long time. Overall, a pretty cool spot, check it out if you are in the area.

My friends and I purchased tickets for $30 each, expecting a well-organized experience with a live DJ, as advertised. However, what we received was far from what was promised. The DJ never showed up, and instead of a live set, the event simply played the "This Is One Direction" Spotify playlist. This is unacceptable. If the DJ had canceled, the appropriate response would have been to reschedule, offer attendees a refund or partial reimbursement, or at the very least, provide some form of compensation such as complimentary drinks. Instead, we were left feeling completely shortchanged. Additionally, the event was supposed to be a full experience, yet it was abruptly cut off at 9:15 PM--barely three hours long. For the price we paid, this fell significantly below reasonable expectations, and it felt like a blatant disregard for the attendees who invested in this experience. Given the lack of the promised DJ, the shortened event time, and the overall mismanagement, I strongly believe that ALL attendees deserve compensation, whether in the form of a partial refund or credit for a future event. Please let me know how you plan to address this issue. I look forward to your prompt response.

Since the…read moreinterior is decorated mostly in blue, and since it's located in a hotel called the Maplewood, he wanted a tree in the name that tied in with the color. So he picked spruce. The Blue Spruce Lounge opened in the space that had been the Carnegie Cafe in the Maplewood Inn at 400 7th North St. The opening coincided with the completion of interior renovations to the hotel side, and is a bar and full-service restaurant, with live music several days a week and a banquet room that hosts weddings and other events, including a Paint Night and a Trivia Night. I found a Groupon for Blue Spruce and had been interested in trying it since I work very closely with it. The wife and I decided to try it out today for lunch while running errands. When you walk into the restaurant entrance, there's a small foyer area with a trash can. There were napkins and papers all over the floor today since that wasn't exactly a welcoming sign. We walked into the restaurant, which was empty, but there was no hostess at the stand. The bartender, who I now know is the owner, and also ended up being our server, ran over and sat us. We thought it was a little odd, as he was dressed in a sweatshirt and basketball shorts. We were told we could sit anywhere, as there were no other customers. The place is a very nicely decorated place, but for a sunny day, it was very dark inside. The owner turned the lights up, but we would've preferred just having the curtains opened. We sat and were given our menu. I chose The Northside, a sub with sliced pork, broccoli rabe and a roasted garlic aioli, while the wife chose their sweet Italian chicken griller sandwich, grilled chicken, a grilled sausage patty, roasted red peppers and mozzarella. All sandwiches and burgers are served with fries. Our order seemed to take a long time for two sandwiches. Especially seeing as the restaurant was empty other than us. It was also DEAD quiet...you could hear a pin drop. There were several TVs on in the place, but none of them had the volume on, and there was no music playing in the place either. The quiet was even more noticeable, as the owner/host/server/bartender spent most of the time we were waiting for our food on his cell phone having a rather loud conversation, then after he hung up, we clearly heard him yelling at his staff when he went into the kitchen. He was nice enough to us, but just didn't seem very professional. Our food came and we started in. The wife and I both switched a half or each other's sandwiches so we could try both and everything was just ok. The fries were good...we both like crispy, battered fries, and that's what they serve, but they had WAY too much salt on them. My wife's sandwich had a balsamic glaze on it that isn't mentioned on the menu, but we found both our sandwiches bland. The pork on my sandwich was pretty good, but besides that, it was also bland. There was apparently a garlic aioli on it, but the flavor was non existent. The sausage on my wife's sandwich was sweet sausage, but it also had very little flavor along with the chicken breast. Everything was just very plain. The owner rang us up, but rang the Groupon incorrectly. He was very easy going about it when I pointed it out and fixed it though. I went to use the bathroom and when I came back, the wife said the owner spoke to her and said they had a more extensive dinner menu and bands at night, which answered my question as to why they had such a huge, empty space in the back of the restaurant. Overall, it was just disappointing. I'm glad we used a Groupon and barely paid anything, as the flavors on the food just wasn't there and there was simply no atmosphere to the place. I think we could give it another shot for dinner at some point, but lunch just missed the mark.
