    We are all entitled to our own opinions, right? Well here's mine: Parking: 4 Location: 5 Decor/ambiance: 5 Customer Service: 5 Meymandi is one of my favorite concert venues in the area! Talk about class... you will find it here. This is probably one of the classiest concert venues in the area. Parking is normally ok downtown just be prepared to pay a decent penny to park. The location is perfect. After a show, its within walking distance to so much. The decor is probably my favorite part about this place. I love the grand entrance. Its drop dead gorgeous. The service from people working events is normally spot on! Be sure to see one of the Christmas plays/shows that take place during the holiday! You won't be disappointed!

    I come to watch the NC Symphony about twice a year and it is so easy. The venue is small and intimate, and the bathrooms are clean and spacious. Be prepared to park and walk a bit to get here, but that's downtown for you. Staff is always on hand to help you find your seat, and it's nice that there's a coat check right by the escalator you take to get down to the main orchestra seating. I haven't tried any of the drinks but it's very conveniently located--a nice bar, and some coffee as well!

    We're in Fletcher Theatre which is part of the Progress Energy Center. We have seen the ballet here as well. It is a delightfully quaint theatre and fairly comfortable. Today we're seeing Love Letters with Sandy Duncan and Ita David Wood lll.

    I attended the December 2014 concert of the Raleigh Ringers here. Arrived at the venue maybe 30 minutes before the show was to begin. Staff did a great job of moving the line into the facility. We had orchestra level seats and took the escalator down to that entrance. Great sight lines in the concert hall and wonderful acoustics. Seat space was enough so I didn't feel crammed into the seat. After the concert exiting the premises was a quick and efficient operation. Hope to be able to return for a North Carolina Symphony performance in the future.

    It was just an awesome experience performing on this stage! The acoustics are amazing, the dressing rooms are well lit and spacious, and the lobby is a creative person's dream with many aesthetic backgrounds to shoot your stills in!

    I enjoy the symphony, so when I heard the classical music tour was coming I made plans to get a sitter and go on a date night with my husband. It was a rainy Friday night yet we lucked upon parking right out front. My tickets were at will call so was able to skip the line and go right in. Afterwards we decided to try one of the specialty drinks of the evening(Purple Rain dedicated to Prince who just passed away and The Walrus dedicated to the Beatles whose music was the focus of the show). The drinks tasted pretty similar and too sweet for my liking. Craft cocktails are probably not their strongsuit, so will get wine next time. After we received our programs, we got seated and was ready to hear the symphony. The show started on time and it was indeed a wonderful musical tribute to the Beatles. Why the 3 stars..the seats were very uncomfortable. So much so that we left at intermission for real drinks and live music at RYE.

    I stopped by Boxcar with a few friends on a Monday and we had a great time! There was hardly…read moreanybody else in there, so we were able to play any of the games we wanted easily. On Mondays their drink special is $5 for any draft, what a steal! We all enjoyed a drink and a few games. I love the decor and vibes in Boxcar, the artwork is really punk and cool looking. My favorite game, The Lucky Duck, was broken (the claw wouldn't extend far enough to reach any ducks). I reported this to a staff member and she let me pick out any 2 ducks I wanted! The Pokemon pinball was fun too, I love the variety of pinball machines.

    We came here for the first time last Sunday afternoon. It was a very cool spot and a great value!…read more The arcade is pretty big, with a wide variety of games. Tokens are reasonably priced and older style arcade games only take 1- the more interactive or multi player games (think air hockey, basketball, dance dance etc) take 4. They have free popcorn, daily drink specials, and drinks were very reasonably priced. Despite being fairly busy, service at the bar was friendly and fast- I was impressed! Not much else for food here from what I can tell, so don't plan on having your meal here. I brought two teenage boys and we hung out for almost 2 hours- I think I spent about 40 bucks including tokens and a couple of drinks for myself. I really liked the street art vibe, especially all of the murals and the Instagram wall. They've done a great job with ambiance! The outdoor patio adds a lot of additional chill space. When we were there they didn't have a band playing, but I think they do often. I almost want to give it 5 stars, but several of the games were not working properly and ate our tokens. That say you can grab someone to fix them, but nobody appeared available, and I wouldn't have wanted to bother them multiple times anyhow... Would be great if they were proactively checking and fixing them. More snacks would be great too! Other than that it was a really great experience, I would definitely go back.

    Total change from the last concert here. They now opened up part of the floor with seating for…read moredisabled patrons. We are no longer stashed in the corner with no opportunity to see anything. The staff was very kind and today's experience was easy. I do think they need to work on signage for where and how disabled patrons wait in the line. Bathrooms remained busy so I didn't use the facilities that night. Parking was the furthest away you could possibly be in the lot. They need to reopen the spaces in the front instead of making us walk clear across the parking lot to and from the venue. If they can fix that, they would get 5 stars

    If you like to dress the part for metal shows, stay far away from this place…read more If you are a metal fan who likes to express yourself through your outfits, the Ritz is not the venue for you. We came here for Hanabie and Nekrogoblikon and were treated like we were trying to breach a high security government facility. The security team here is something else. They targeted my girlfriend's outfit three separate times before finally letting us in. First it was the cuffs, then it was a studded bra that wasn't sharp at all, and finally a third guy decided her boots were a threat to national security. My girlfriend is autistic and she spent weeks meticulously putting this outfit together. For her, this is how she expresses herself and feels comfortable in a crowd. Watching these guards pick her apart piece by piece until she was in tears and having a breakdown was pathetic. They took the one thing she was most excited about and turned it into a reason to bully her. The logic was top tier. The guard told us she should just go to the Walmart across the street and buy a change of clothes. I really appreciated the fashion advice from a guy who looks like he spends his weekends LARPing as a riot cop. I was allowed in with a two pound metal wallet chain that was two feet long, but her 1/4 inch decorative studs were the real danger. My buddy has been in the metal scene for 15 years and has worn the same jacket to every show, but he was turned away too. I literally smacked his jacket spikes with my own hand a dozen times to show them it wouldn't even scratch a toddler, but they just stared at me with completely blank expressions. I guess their specialized training didn't cover physics. They only updated their website to mention sharp or spiked clothing after we made a scene about their nonsensical enforcement. The venue is nice once you get inside, but the security team's power trip ensured that my friends and I are never coming back.
