Went to see my first live performance this weekend and was blown away! [[HIGHLIGHT]]What a cool feeling venue to listen to great music and enjoy some tasty beverages![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]The building decor and design in itself is a treat--in an artsy and historical style--but the sound system in that hall was on fire![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The line outside wasn't terrible, and the staff and security were all very respectful and laid back. No drama. Fair warning, they let me in with my mini-backpack but tossed any snacks I had in it. No biggie! So, if you find yourself touring around Centennial Park and want to catch a show, it's not too hard. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The main floor allows for the party to really happen, but only for those who can endure standing for hours at a time as it's standing only.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]There's a floor level for VIPs, which I bet was totally worth the money.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]We sat up in the balcony, so we could sit and see it all. Whew! The seats are very snug! I'm only 5'3", and it was a squeeze for my legs. My 6'1" hubby said he was ok, but his legs were open the entire show to fit.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]On that note, be prepared for LOTS of stairs![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Drinks were tasty and made well. My pizza wasn't exceptional in any way, but it was edible for bar food. And really, the bartenders were all friendly and patient. Just a cool night altogether. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Great experience for a small-venue show on a date, with girlfriends, or a big group of fans alike![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]We saw James Blake, and the only issue I had was the bright flashing lights. I had to squint by the end of the show. But it didn't seem to bother the other thousand in the hall.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]What a venue for a concert! It is an older place but it is intimate! The balcony is the place to be![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]They have bars set up everywhere, the down stairs has merch and food, and the sound is amazing.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]It is a small place so be prepared... it is more than just loud! My youngest needed ear plugs.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]The place is sooo cool though! Really an architectural marvel. Reminds me of a lower version of the Fox.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]But the concert was unreal here! I would go back and Will to see other concerts here for sure![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Just a warning again though. It is very loud! I mean off the charts! I would bring ear plugs when I go again just to keep my hearing intact.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]The Tabernacle is an iconic, historic venue and an Atlanta institution.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] It's located right next to SkyView Atlanta, the Ferris Wheel, near Centennial Olympic Park downtown. The Tabernacle is primarily used for concerts, but hosts other events as well. The building originally opened as a Baptist church in 1911. It became a music venue in 1996. Today, it's owned by Live Nation (Ticketmaster is a subsidiary). [[HIGHLIGHT]]The building retains a lot of the look and feel of an early-20th-century church with interesting architecture, stained glass, creaky wooden floors, and all. It has a lot of character, as they say.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]It also has a lot of bars, at least one on every floor (there are four floors).[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]We attended Ali Wong Live here on Saturday, April 11, 2026. It was a great show and we enjoyed the venue.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] My wife bought tickets back in November. We sat on the lower level, fairly close to the stage, in Section 102, Row F, Seats 1-2. These seats plus "Premier Parking" in the 100 Luckie St garage (LAZ Parking) cost $380.09 after taxes and fees, via Ticketmaster. The 100 Luckie St garage is two blocks down the street from the Tabernacle. It's an old garage with tight turns and spaces. Before the show, I got a Hendrick's double-shot gin and tonic at the bar in the side room on the second level. It cost $33.45 after tip. A good drink, but expensive. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Before this month, the last time I was here was Saturday, August 9, 2014 for a big Yelp event / Yelper party. For that event, the venue was occupied by a variety of vendors spanning multiple rooms and floors. It was a lot of fun.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Pretty cool venue.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Enjoyed a great comedy show featuring Ali Wong. A few things about the venue; [[HIGHLIGHT]]restrooms were very clean(before & after the show).[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Our bartender at the 1st level entrance was-Fabulous!!! [[HIGHLIGHT]]I don't remember if there was central heat/air, but I do remember it being more warm than cool.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Stair, stairs and more stairs.lol. From wide stairs to high stepping stairs, it's there and you will definitely be climbing them.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Our seats were on the front row, top level and the seats seems to dip pretty low, so if you are on the shorter side, the rail may block your view, I suggest booking the second row.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]The lounge vip area is nice for socializing.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]From what I could see, the ground floor seating were the fold up metal chairs, which makes sense since that venue is also available for concerts.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

I went to a concert for the first time here to see DVSN. [[HIGHLIGHT]]I love this venue and hope more concerts are held here. The Tabernacle is absolutely beautiful and I love the layout.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]They have a bottom floor for bathrooms, merchandise, and bars. But they have bars spread throughout the entire venue so you don't have to wait in line one.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The prices were reasonable too. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The general admission section is massive and I could see the artist perfectly even from the back of the room.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Then upstairs they have the seated sections. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The sound was great too![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I'm excited to attend more events here. Only downside is parking. You're in downtown Atlanta so parking is difficult but there are paid lots in the surrounding areas. read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]There's not many places you can go in Atlanta where it feels like you are "steeped in history" and the Tabernacle is one of them.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]That said, I wouldn't say it's a great performance venue.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] We went recently for a comedy show. When my bf bought the tickets, it offered the opportunity to pre-pay for parking. What he didn't realize is that the lot he paid for was a 20+ minute walk from the venue, not the one that is nearby. So we ended up double paying for parking. [[HIGHLIGHT]]He'd gotten us seats on the upper level because I'm short and it's hard for me to see over people unless it's stadium style seating. Unfortunately he chose the first row of the balcony and there was a metal bar that I couldn't see over.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I basically ended up watching the comedian on the giant screens which felt like I could have also done sitting at home on Netflix. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The seats were also uncomfortable.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] There's no food offered but there are a few bars. I didn't drink but my bf got a couple of beers. Prior to entering the venue you also need to go through a bag check/metal detector which I appreciate. The person ahead of me had a bag of food, clearly a doggy bag from a dinner immediately prior, that she had to discard. They also wouldn't let her bring in the pepper spray she had in her purse. So might be worthwhile to read through the policies before coming here. read more

The tabernacle always a good spot to enjoy Your favorite musical artist/performers In a more intimate setting Located in downtown Atlanta Parking can be a challenge And you can expect to pay between 20-40.00 average For your vehicle Other from that.. Lots of up and coming artist In the height of their career Frequent this venue Along with common every day Household names You have floor space for standing Or balcony seats The choice is yours Nice details in the bar area Capture great memories Whether pics in the hallway Or in the open wall space areas Now one thing that could be better The sound system Can sometimes be off It's like the eq isn't getting Enough attention I've seen a number of acts With the most recent Sir's tour Which was cool Bring a friend Bring family You are gonna have a good time read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]While I love the Tabernacle and its vibe, we recently attended a show there by the comedian Sarah Milligan.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]We had great seats on the floor but the chairs were horrible, hard and uncomfortable.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Also the echo of the sound made it very difficult to understand her, especially considering her English accent.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]What we could make out was hilarious, and I love this performer but I wish we'd seen her in a more comfortable, and better sound quality, venue.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]I saw Willie Nelson there years ago and it was fabulous, but it was a totally different setup with no seating in front of the stage, standing up only, and a different sound so, some things work, some don't.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]What a beautiful venue!!!![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I will say, though....[[HIGHLIGHT]]the creaky floors make it a bit tricky of a venue to hear an intimate show[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] and [[HIGHLIGHT]]the steep steps upstairs are not for the faint of heart[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]. But that's what you get with an older venue. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The sound was amazing[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] and I love that they had concessions on each level, making it really easy to grab a drink or snack without wasting a lot of time read more

It's alright, not the worst venue ever. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The sound quality could be a bit better[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] and [[HIGHLIGHT]]the seats could be upgraded.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

We were not happy and tried to ask if they could remake the drink and the bartender downstairs to the right of the door immediately upon entering the venue with the nose ring became defensive and rude. read more

Came in from out of town to attend concerts on back to back nights. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The venue is great and the staff is even better![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]The first night, we stood in general admission on the floor. The floor is sloped downward slightly which helped with sightlines.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]All of the bands sounded great.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]The second night, we decided to treat ourselves and upgraded to the balcony.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I talked with someone on site who took us upstairs to see which seats were available which was helpful. [[HIGHLIGHT]]It was nice to be able to have a seat and I was in the last row so I could still stand if I wanted to.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Merch and some food is in the basement. [[HIGHLIGHT]]If you get the balcony, you have some additional bars and restrooms available to you on the upper floors.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] This venue may be a bit tough if you or someone in your party has mobility issues since there are so many stairs, but there is an elevator and ADA section available. read more

What a fun venue! Great staff and super chill/fun vibe to watch standup at! I loved the atmosphere as soon as I stepped in and went downstairs to the bar. All the staff was super nice, even the people checking bags were friendly haha. It made things overall a good experience even before the show started. The food was also pretty great!

Tabernacle - Music Venues Near Me - Atlanta, Georgia

This building was originally built to be the home of a Baptist Tabernacle Church. 80 years later it became a live music venue. Now it's an Atlanta institution. Everybody has played here. Prince. Bob Dylan. Willie Nelson. Elton John. Dave Matthews Band. Outkast. The venue seats a cozy 2,600. When you enter you'll walk up some stairs into a small landing. Walking forward leads you to the merch room and beer lines. Walking up the stairs to your left or right takes you to where the magic happens. read more

I attended the R&B only last night. We left after 45 minutes. [[HIGHLIGHT]]They were openly smoking weed. The smell was so strong we couldn't enjoy the show.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I work in the healthcare field so this was something I couldn't be around. We payed $180 for VIP hoping for a VIP experience. This was a horrible experience. I'll never return to any concerts here. read more

I wrote this review in May but family drama dominated my summer and I never published it. Our visit to the Tabernacle in May was so incredible that I would be doing an injustice by not adding my review. Here goes... Ed Sheeran is on tour playing for tens of thousands of fans in arenas and stadiums all over the country. But, for a few nights during the tour, he has been playing small venues. When he was in Atlanta, he played for just 2500 of us at the Tabernacle. The intimacy with the artist was truly a one of a kind experience. By the time I bought my tickets, even nosebleed seats were over $200. We were three rows from the top in the second balcony. Even then, I was able to see Ed's face. There were tv monitors in the balcony that were intended to give an up close view of the stage but in reality, my view was better than what the monitor provided. Seeing a concert at the Tabernacle is a one kind experience. The Tabernacle is old, built in 1911. This was before microphones and amps. The acoustics are amazing. The third set was done completely unplugged yet I could hear perfectly from my seat. Not every seat is a winner - there are more than a few seats with obstructed views - be cognizant of what seats you purchase. The upper balcony is not for the faint of heart. It's four flights up an uneven wooden staircase. The pitch is so steep that I wouldn't leave my seat - I made my husband go down to get me a drink (there are plenty of bars scattered throughout). The concert was awesome in and of itself but when you add the intimacy of the Tabernacle, the concert just blew every other concert away. I will have no qualms driving 4 hours to see a concert here again. ....I'm keeping my fingers and toes crossed that the family drama calms down. My mantra has become: "peace and serenity, peace and serenity". read more

Just the most-incredible, enduring entertainment venue in Atlanta bar none. We went to the Tab recently for Sexy Liberal show and--after it had been 10 years between visits--the joint looked just as amazing as before. the theater still has that historic-grunge vibe that I love so much. and the folks working here were just as nice and helpful as can be. factor in how close the Tab is to the Ferris wheel and newly invigorated downtown, the sky's the limit! can't wait to go back, especially to see Evanescence. read more

Haven't been to the venue in years (over a decade) but it's still as good as I remember. I recall it being a former church hence the name. Acoustics were great. I'm glad I'm in better shape and able to climb those flights of stairs! That 300 level was a pure leg workout haha. Parking is plentiful. Overall great experience. Live nation seems to bring a lot of acts here. read more

Georgia's version of the Ryman Auditorium, the Tabernacle blends more than 100 years of history with top-notch acoustics to create a memorable live music venue in the heart of downtown Atlanta. The deceptively spacious Baptist sanctuary, built in 1911, was first transformed into a House of Blues for the 1996 Olympic Games, and now hosts dozens of concerts and shows every year. My wife and recently visited for a Jason Isbell show and were impressed with the sightlines, the sound and the design of the space. This is an outstanding venue for just about any type of performance, although I'd make a few recommendations before you plan a visit. First, consider shelling out extra for balcony seats instead of general admission on the floor. By the time we arrived for the opening act at our Isbell show, the floor was completely packed out, leaving limited space to stand in the back corner. We quickly chased down an usher and paid for a balcony upgrade, and were grateful that we did. Unless you get there early enough to get a spot right at the base of the stage, the balcony will generally be a superior option. Also, the food in the basement concession area is lousy, so be sure to eat before you arrive. But the beer and liquor selection was pretty solid, and there are multiple bars on both the floor and the balcony to buy drinks during the show. Finally, figure out where you plan to park (or take MARTA) before you leave your house. The Tabernacle doesn't seem to have a dedicated public lot, but there are dozens of pay surface lots and decks within a couple of blocks. Knowing where you plan to park will make life MUCH easier when you come downtown. The Tabernacle is an Atlanta treasure, and one of the best places in the South to enjoy a live show. If you have a chance to see one of your favorite artists here, don't pass it up. read more

This is my absolute favorite venu in Atlanta. There isn't a bad seat in the house in terms of view. I recently won standing room tickets to a concert via the radio station.

I drove 5+ hours for a same day concert and discovered my secondhand market ticket was not legit. I was panicked. It was sold out, but the ticket booth worked with me to get me a ticket, which I so appreciated it. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The venue itself was super cool.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]The floor is general admission. There is room in the back where you can be more away from the crowd close to the exit.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]The lower level has a bar and areas to sit.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]The top level is the orchestra kind of seating.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I was general admission. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The floor is sloped so I had a good view, it's a really cool venue.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I would definitely go here again. read more

Very cool venue! I don't think there's a bad seat in the house. We were in row 1 of the 300s and it was excellent. The only downside is that if you're sitting in that row, the balcony railing is almost EXACTLY at eye level due to how low the seats are. This means you have to either lean down to see between the gap of the bar and the railing itself or stand up. Of course for concerts this isn't a huge deal as we stood for most of it; however, if it's an event you don't anticipate standing for, I would recommend moving a few rows back so you have an unobstructed view. Otherwise, the experience was great. The venue was very cool and unique and each area/floor had something else unique about it that was cool to explore. We have tickets to go back for a another event next month and I'm already looking forward to it! read more

Tabernacle - Boys Like Girls from row 1 in the 300s - Music Venues Near Me - Atlanta, Georgia

Tabernacle is a downtown Atlanta historic mansion turned concert hall that me and my buddies attended a university of Lousiville pregame party at whole visiting the city of Atlanta for a university of Lou college football game at nearby Mercedes Benz stadium. Beautifully restored building that is like a Victorian mansion meets a concert hall meets a speakeasy. Multiple floors that are all beautifully decorated and different rooms you pop into will have a bar and food area and then some you walk out and it's auditorium seating or a a dance floor that faces a stage. For this university of Lousiville event you got two free drink tickets per person and they had a live band. The bar tenders were all nice and had good bourbon selections. The live band wasn't the greatest but it still set off a fun vibe. Overall just a really cool and unique place that me and my buddies enjoyed exploring and checking out. We walked dob every floor and room even though I'm bot sure we were suppose too. University of Lousiville picked an awesome venue to host this fun ore game party and the tabernacle was an amazing host. Really awesome place. Looked at there schedule and some semi big music stars have concerts here. I imagine it's an awesome place to take in a big concert. read more

Get here early if you can, parking in the area is expensive and fills up quickly. Ride share or Marta will be your best bet. Restrooms were cleaned for the event I attended.

I just had a bad "drink" experience at the Tabernacle. I joined the line to get in for a show last night. The first Live Nation staffer said, among other things, "show your ID if you plan to buy a drink". My thought to myself was "OK, Where?" I proceeded through security and ticket scan, up to the second floor, and bought a drink. The barkeep took my payment, opened the can, and then said "by the way, you need a wristband to buy this". "Where?" Downstairs! I should have said "Just keep that overpriced drink!"  So the first staffer didn't say he was doing wristband distribution, and the bartender didn't follow drink policy until after the fact. Do I look under 21? Did I mention that I'm a grey-haired 70? The extra trip down two flights, through security, and back up, was completely avoidable and not appreciated by this 70 something YOG. Communicate your policies! Put up a sign for attendees that says "Wristband for Adult Drinks HERE!"  I won't be back! read more

Awesome place that my buddies and I got to visit while we were in ATL. We had a pre game party for the Louisville Cardinals and got free drink tickets.

After a stressful afternoon of trying to get out of work as planned which went about an hour over my target time, then got home to get family pets taken care of which also ran a bit longer because I wanted to look some what cute as well while there. Well traffic wasn't great either... However, I would like to give a huge shout out to Eric with Live (nation?) I know he told me live something but he was the team leader last night at the red clay stray show and he immediate jumped in to assist with a very minor issue that we would not have been able to enjoy our date night after a fully loaded stressed day. He upgraded us which he absolutely did not have to do but I can tell you that Eric gets guest relations and as a human being is a great guy! Thank you Eric for helping us (mainly me) relax and let go of that stress so we could have such a great night which was over do!! we really appreciate you and your team! we will be back again! hopefully we can see ya again and say thank you in person! read more

Truly a horrible concert experience. When it said "general admission" on the tickets I bought, I assumed I would be on the floor. However, it was for the balcony. Perhaps it was my fault for this specific oversight. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Too hot, too crowded, and you can tell the staff do not care to make your experience pleasant.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]If you're under 5'7", sucks for you, you won't be able to see unless you're in the first few rows.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] But hey, good thing there's 4 empty seats in the second row! Oh, I have to pay $50 extra to sit there? After I already paid for my ticket on the balcony? Oh. Cool. So then half those rows just stay empty all night? Really weird design that screams desperation for any cent they can get from you. Not to mention the $12 single beer. So insane. I'm sure it would've been more entertaining had I been on the main floor. It looked like so much fun and I really missed out being on the balcony. Horrible time and a really bad experience. I will not be going back and I'll be telling the people I know to be wary of this place. Masquerade is a thousand times better in every single way. read more

This is a beautiful music venue in downtown Atlanta with a lot of history behind the building. It was once a church and much much later the House of Blues Atlanta. It's a great spot to see a show and the Tabernacle brings dozens of nationally touring acts to Atlanta. The acoustics are amazing and there really isn't a bad seat in the house. The V.I.P. Area on the balcony with its private bar and bathroom looks sweet although I've never actually been there. I've usually seen concerts from the floor and while it can get quite crowded, it builds intimacy and energy with the band to create a special experience. The balcony seating also provides majestic views with potentially a little more breathing room in the approximate 2,600 person capacity venue. The staff has not managed the entrance to the last several shows I've seen here very well. As they are patting everyone down for security purposes it can take well over half an hour in line to get in if you arrive near showtime. My only other complaint are the drink prices although given it's location and the fact that it's managed by Live Nation this shouldn't be surprising. But $5 for a water? Really? Otherwise, I'd recommend seeing a show here at least once during your time in Atl. read more

I saw Switchfoot here in February of 2019 and thought the venue was so cool! The Tabernacle reminds me of a big version of the Visualite theatre in Charlotte with the painted stars and sky look across the walls. The two balconies were nice as a seated option. The levels inside were interesting with the bottom floor as a place to showcase merch, the middle staircase mezzanine floor had a bar for quick drink access during shows, and the main floor with the impressive stage and bouncing floor. Yes the floor bounces if people are jumping during songs. It was a bit scary but fun since no one got hurt. Sound and lighting were great because you only noticed sound and lighting if it's bad. Bathrooms were clean and quick to access and bartenders were quick and friendly! read more
