Wow, what a cool venue! Kinda has an old school club vibe in an intimate setting. Dark yet well lit with strategic lighting and of course, (Sammy) Red featuring prominently. Opened on time, with quick security screening. There was a merch section and restrooms (spotless) located in the lobby. We had general seating tickets, so we had the freedom to choose where we sat. And what choices there were! The seating is varied and allows for comfortable seating for everyone. Whether you're in a large group, want a cozy high top for two, a counter seat to chat bar style with others, or want up close and personal floor access, there's a spot for you. There's even balcony seating! The sound system was clear and well balanced. My friend mentioned he would've liked it a little louder. Indeed, it was a "comfortable" volume. Our waitress was quick and friendly. She was fair, in that she told us up front they charge for water (I think it was 6 bucks). She said sometimes customers get upset about that. Our drinks were good and the price was about what we'd expect at a venue. We didn't order food, but the plates traveling by us had appealing presentation and smelled delicious! My first time here, but I'll certainly jump at the chance to come back! read more

Very nice venue but the food could be just a little bit better as well as the service. The bartender was nice but the server who was in charge of the premium seating area was a tad bit mean. I asked about the drinks on the menu and she said that none of them were available. So, then I asked if a Dirty Shirley could be made (a fairly easy drink to make as it's just a Shirley Temple with vodka) and she replied that they do not make those anymore. She then stared at me and made no recommendations. If you don't have any of the drinks I pointed out on the menu and you can't make any, then what exactly is there to drink?? I ended up going out of the theater area to the bartender in the front and getting the drink of the night which was an Irish Gold and also asking if he could make a Dirty Shirley (just wanted to double check) and he made one immediately. So I'm not really sure why the server said it couldn't be made/that it wasn't available. I did end up ordering churro fries from her for my mom and I to share and they were just okay. They were a little hard but I think that comes with the territory. Other than that small mishap with the menu, I very much like this venue. It's really nice to have something like this in the area as we really didn't have anything similar when I was growing up nearby in Rialto. Only dive bars, most of which are closed nowadays. I give this place a solid 7/10. read more

Great venue! Big parking structure right behind it. Only $10 to park. Nice, clean, safe venue They say we attended a sold out Show, but it sure didn't feel like it. Usually, I can barely get through the crowd this time we stood the very front of the stage, and when I had to go to the restroom, it wasn't a problem and I even made it back to the front of the stage again. Didn't buy any food or drinks while we were there. Spent our money on merchandise. The sound was great! We had a wonderful time!! Everyone that worked there was friendly read more

We came here for the first time last night to see Drake Bell perform and we had a fantastic time! We got second row premium seats which are totally worth every penny. The seats themselves were comfortable and you can easily see the artist perform above everyone's heads. The venue is very small so next to the stage is a bar where they sell both food and drinks and if you are general admission you just walk up and order but if you have seats the bartenders come to you like servers taking your order. Our server was Dannika and she fantastic! She was very sweet and made sure we were always taken care of, and I forgot to tell her so hope she sees this review but she was very beautiful too! Would definitely return for another concert here! read more

Really wanted to love Stage Red. We had high expectations as it's owned by Samuel Roy Hagar, also known as the Red Rocker, is an American singer, songwriter, guitarist, and entrepreneur. So we thought this place was gonna be amazing! We got there at 6pm as it states doors open at 6pm. We paid 10 bucks to park and it's there parking lot/area. So it has security taking payment and watching the lot. Went through security to come inside then they ask if your VIP or regular/standard ticket holders. They just had us all standing around waiting to get in. Stage Red blamed the Marley band saying they weren't ready but what really happened is they had no line up. So we didn't get to go inside until and hour and half later. So just standing around for 1 hour and 30 minutes. Finally get into the concert just to have to listen to a horrible DJ and some dude singing badly. Concert was supposed to begin at 8pm didn't start to almost 9pm. Then it was over at 11pm. We love Reggae and love Julian Marley and have been to plenty of his shows. This was by far the worst one! Not, sure if we'd come back to this location again! read more

Best Sammy Venue Ever!! I've visited all his venues .... So delighted and grateful he brought one home to Fontana!!! Parking structure directly behind venue is brilliant! $10 Thankyou Sammy!! Easy walk to entrance VIP balcony table and padded chairs with waiter service $75 great view overlooking stage !!! Charcuterie board $12 ... beverages $6 beer/wine. $8/12. Cocktails $10/$15. They had no signature liquor that night wanted to try the Sammy named rum drinks but .., no. The pricing is terrific. (for now) Can't wait to go back!! It's well worth the drive. read more

DO NOT GO HERE- for anything! Even your favorite performer- you will be HUGELY disappointed!! This was THE wildest impromptu failure event I've ever attended, none of which at fault to the performer- zero stars earned to the employees & owner of this venue. We were told we could sit anywhere & a waitress would come give us a menu & serve us drinks & food. There was a couple behind us getting served & we expected an acknowledgment from the waitress however on her third/fourth visit to the people sitting DIRECTLY BEHIND ME, still nothing. My bf then had to get up & seek someone to serve us, which was not immediate by ANY means. When the waitress came over, she STILL attended to EVERYONE ELSE but us! To which my bf had to yell at her "no please come back & help us." She handed us menus & was unseen for another 10-15 mins. When we asked what the "Signature Cocktail $15" is on the menu, she stated she did not know & it was probably the list of the alcohols at the bottom.. which I guess means they just mix them all together??? We asked her if she could find out, the answer was- "we don't have that." We went physically to the bar to find an answer to which... we were told they were the canned Sammy Hagar drinks... which is weird because THAT IS ALSO LISTED ON THE MENU!!! I am literally dumbfounded. I tried to communicate it by showing them their own menu- here are 2 different items priced differently, can you please tell me what this one is? He did not know, but had a menu in his hand which seemed to list the special cocktails they offer, but most they did not have the ingredients. Then I asked "has this place recently reopened?" To which they ALSO did not know!! Literally everyone got hired yesterday for this place? They don't know anything about why they are even in the building... even the parking attendant thought he was there for a concert. We saw all these great reviews on the food. DO NOT BELIEVE ANY OF THESE 5 STARS ON THE FOOD! I BELIEVE THEY HAD THEIR FRIENDS GIVE A BUNCH OF 5 STAR REVIEWS & RAVE ON HOW GOOD IT IS. THEY BROUGHT OUT AHI TUNA THAT WAS PURPLISH GREY & FOLLOWED WITH LITTLE GNATS FLYING ABOVE THE PLATE TILL WE SENT IT BACK. WE COULD SEE THAT THIS ROTTEN FISH WAS GOING TO CAUSE FOOD POISONING EVEN WITH THE LIGHTS GOING ON AND OFF LIKE A DISCO. We arrived at 6:40, the show started around 7:44 and we got our food at 817. Why were we there for over an hour before being served anything? The food was cold, bland, ROTTEN & not what was advertised on the menu!! Again, you have people who just started who don't even know what they serve. We ordered a "Smash Burger." Which listed-"Beef Briskey Short Rib Patties American Cheese House Pickles Onions House Dressing" (yes they have it spelled "Briskey" that is not a typo on my end). Why did I have a burger with 2 full Pattys that fit perfectly in the bun, with lettuce, tomato, raw onion and cheese.. dry and cold? This is NOT what I ordered! My mind is still blown.. sorry. Oh! If you get the Premium Seats up front- Expect to eat your dinner on your lap!!! What the heck?!? A comedy show where they serve food & drinks on plates where you eat it off your lap! It's seriously laughable... The show starts- 7:44 the opener comedian comes out. The light guys CANNOT figure out the lights. They're just lights on over here, lights flashing, lights off over there, then back on then off for the entire 20 mins of the start of the show.. it became part of the act! Even the headliner came out to try to help them figure it out & they still just had not a clue how their equipment works. The place has been open for 3 months is what someone said? But did they just not even practice w? They just hired some sound guy whose resume said he was a backyard birthday DJ & they thought it would work well? I'm not sure, but they LEFT the lights on us the entire night so we're the only ones lit up more than the stage? I'm not even sure if that was on purpose, someone in the back was like-o-ya leave it like that, it's artsy. Or if they just gave up looking like idiots hitting the wrong buttons. They probably powered off the grill in the kitchen- it would make a ton of sense. The show is going & some old guy in the front is taking video, taking photos, even the comedian called him out that he does not need to video. Someone took a photo next to me of their family & security comes over & yells at them & then accuses me of recording to the extent I had to show her my phone. Completely unprofessional & rude. She disappears for another 30 mins while the guy in front row is taking photos with FLASH on over and over again. I touch my phone and she's standing in front of me blocking my view like I'm breaking a deadly rule. Just so you know- I was looking at the time, Lady! I was trying to figure out when the torture was going to end. read more

What a great venue. Intimate, nice sound, great food and drinks. I look forward to going again soon.

Great variety of performers and food is delicious! Service and staff are great!! We have been here many times and have yet to be disappointed. Beautiful old theatre. It's so nice to see performers in such a small, cozy, intimate venue. The negative comments regarding food and staff must be anomalies. We have been happy with all the food we've had there. read more

As a performing musician, the staff at Stage Red were the best of the best in every which way. Donna in security was so nice and helpful, as were all of the stage crew assisting with set up and sound. Also ordered some food and the wait staff were all really kind and sweet. They even made sure to keep my food stored away safely and warm until I was done performing so that I could get it. Having played at several different venues, I can honestly say the staff here really knocked it out of the park. My thanks to them and management. Also, the food we ate was all really well-made and delicious!! read more

Our first time at this venue on 3/14/26 for the Boingo FM concert. Super easy and affordable parking in the well-lit structure only $10. Screening was the usual walk-thru detectors and the screeners were nice. We had an upstairs balcony table and our usher was friendly and efficient. The menu and drink prices were very, very reasonable. Our server, Danica, was very friendly and was always available. After the show we visited the vinyl listening room and received another nice welcome from the staff there and an introduction to the room. You can tell a well-managed venue from the encounters with the staff. Everyone we encountered was friendly. Keep doing what you are doing! We will absolutely return for more shows and tell our friends the same. read more

We had amazing time! No bad seat or floor space. Audio was fantastic. Staff was helpful. We will be back!

This place does not care about your safety. Men were touching women without their consent, pushing women when verbally confronted, and then threw fists at women and men trying to get them away from the women they were harassing. I reported these men THREE TIMES to three different security guards, but the men were not removed from the venue. Do better!! read more

Stage Red is hands down one of the best close up venues I've been to. The acoustics are absolutely phenomenal without question probably the best sounding concert show i've experienced. Every note was crystal clear, perfectly balanced, and you could feel the energy from the stage in the entire room. On top of that, the food was incredible and very well priced with really generous portion sizes. Usually, venues don't put much effort into dining, but Stage Red takes it to the next level, fresh, and way above the standard "concert food" you'd expect. The service was just as impressive, fast, friendly, and attentive, making the whole night seamless from start to finish. Everything about Stage Red is top-tier: the atmosphere, the sound, the food, the staff, absolutely everything. If you want the ultimate live music experience, this is the place to go. Can't wait to come back! read more

Great venue, TERRIBLE service. Was in the balcony VIP section and was told we had a waitress. Saw her 3 times throughout the ENTIRE night. (1 time to take our order. 2nd time to drop off the order. 3rd time to take our order to never return). Never got a receipt of my order. Have to keep an eye on the bank account now. read more

Beautiful venue! The sound was great, the bartenders and servers were super attentive and nice and the food was good! We ordered drinks and the cheese plate to our cozy booth in the back. There's a large lobby area with a beautiful bar, and another bar inside the theater. We could see the stage perfectly from where we sat. There's a floor level in front of the stage but it's set down lower so that people in the reserved seating area could still see. It was clean and very well kept, including the ladies room. I would definitely go back! This place should be packed on a Saturday night. read more

This venue is a hidden gem. It was recently remodeled from top to bottom . They didn't cheap out on the sound equipment that's for sure ! The sounds were amazing and I could tell the speakers were high quality. It's small and intimate. The drinks were super affordable. I will definitely be back ! read more
