We had a really nice concert experience here seeing Sarah McLachlan. This is my second time seeing…read morea concert at the Concord Pavilion. Driving into the venue was crazy. The line of cars went on forever. We finally got into the parking lot and got a spot. We got there 40 minutes before the concert started and it was that busy. We had paid for easy entry. When we got to the front of the line and asked where the easy entry line was, nobody knew LOL. Mind you it's 94 degrees outside and the line to get into the concert was getting extremely long. I went to the ticket booth and asked where the easy entry access was. They directed us to the VIP entry which was on the other side of the parking lot. We walked over there and sure enough, we were at the right place and walked right in, after showing our easy entry passes. They do require clear bags and some small wallet size purses of a specific dimension. Luckily we checked online the day before. That gave me time to buy a clear plastic purse from Target. The purse worked out perfectly. It was big enough to carry the essentials and small enough to wear crossbody. Our seats were amazing. We were in a the lower level of section 104 in the second row, and in the shade. It was so hot that day. I was so happy that we're in the shade. As the sun went down, the temperature dropped. But it was still a bit warm, even when we left. Sarah McLachlan was amazing. She sounded great and sang many of her older songs, that we all know, as well as some new ones from her latest album. She put on a fantastic show. She is so talented and has a beautiful voice. I think the next time we want to see a concert here, I will try to find something in the spring or fall. The summer heat was brutal, but we still enjoyed ourselves. We also brought neck fans with us, that I purchased on Amazon, and that helped some. I noticed other people had them too.

Toyota Pavilion At Concord…read more I am extremely disappointed with my experience at Toyota Pavilion on July 31, 2026 for the Lil Wayne concert. I purchased two concert tickets and a Premier Parking Pass specifically to ensure smooth access to the event. I arrived well in advance of the show only to be told by venue staff that the Premier Parking lot was completely full and could not accommodate pass holders. General parking was also full. As a result I was unable to park my vehicle and could not attend the concert at all. The venue oversold Premier Parking passes without having the capacity to honor them. This is unacceptable and frankly deceptive. I paid for a service that was never delivered and as a direct consequence lost the value of both my parking pass and my concert tickets through absolutely no fault of my own. When I contacted Ticketmaster for a refund I was repeatedly denied and deflected despite this being a clear case of non-performance. The parking refund was eventually processed which is an acknowledgment that something went wrong -- yet the ticket refund was denied. I also called and emailed the box office and they denied the refund as well. I am now pursuing a complaint with the California Attorney General and considering small claims court. Toyota Pavilion needs to take responsibility for overselling parking and failing to deliver services paid for by customers. I would strongly caution anyone attending future events here to reconsider purchasing Premier Parking as there is no guarantee it will be honored.

I'm writing this review to save people from ordering the shrimp scampi here…read more My niece chose this restaurant to celebrate her birthday, and it was also my sister's birthday. There were four of us. Everyone except me is very fond of red meat--I am not. When I looked at the menu online, I was happy to see they offered several non-meat options. I decided on the shrimp scampi and looked forward to it all week. What a disappointment. The six shrimp arrived at room temperature, and the butter sauce they were sitting in was also barely warm. The shrimp did not appear to have been cooked in the sauce at all. They looked and tasted like plain boiled shrimp--exactly like the pre-cooked shrimp you can buy at Costco. In fact, I wouldn't be surprised if that's where they came from. The sauce tasted like pure melted butter, with no noticeable garlic or white wine flavor--just plain butter. I suppose this is what I get for ordering a non-meat entrée at a steakhouse, but if you can't make a decent option for non-meat eaters, don't bother putting it on the menu. The French onion soup, however, was delicious. I would order only that again if I had to return. The creamed spinach was just okay--honestly, the one I make at home is much better. The baked potato was also very good and served piping hot, which I especially appreciated after the tepid shrimp. I did not order dessert, but my niece and sister both had cheesecake. They did not charge for it since it was their birthdays, which was very much appreciated. They also do not serve bread at this restaurant--or at least none was offered or brought to the table. Another thing I found strange was the layout. There is a very narrow hallway leading to the dining rooms on the right, and right in the middle of that hallway is the computer station where the waitstaff enter orders. I would hate to be a server here--it seems like one of the worst possible places for it. People were constantly trying to squeeze past while the staff were standing there trying to work.

The music was well selected & volume was varied depending on which song the bartender liked most. I would 100% revisit this place on a karaoke night. It seems like a wonderful seasoned business!

Tonight my friend and I visited Vinne's Bar in Concord, and our experience with security was deeply…read moreupsetting. During the security screening, our bags were searched and we were patted down, which we understand may be standard procedure. However, the security guard went far beyond what we considered appropriate by squeezing our breasts during the pat-down. We immediately objected and made it clear that we were uncomfortable and felt violated. The guard identified himself as "Natty Martinez" (although we are not sure whether that was his real name). After the incident, we watched other patrons entering the bar and did not observe anyone else being subjected to the same level of physical contact. That left us feeling as though we had been singled out and treated differently. No one should expect to be touched in such an invasive manner simply for entering a bar. Security screenings can be conducted professionally and respectfully. This experience was humiliating, unnecessary, and completely ruined our evening. I hope management takes this complaint seriously, reviews any available security footage, and ensures that all security staff are properly trained on appropriate search procedures and respectful treatment of customers.

My wife and I enjoy a night at the theater, but living out in the Clayton Valley area it can be…read morequite a trek to visit the more prominent theaters in the City (pricey tickets, aside) - and as a result we love East Bay community theater. So we were delighted (and surprised) to see an advertisement for a play in Clayton put on by a local theater company - the Clayton Theater Company. Community theater in Clayton? We had to check this out! With a super convenient location, we chose a weeknight evening showing. A short drive to the theater, free diagonal parking literally across the street from Endeavor Hall in Clayton, reasonable ticket prices - this definitely was not a San Francisco or Berkeley theater experience! We were fans before the show even started. This was true community theater. Much work was done by volunteers, people giving their time to foster arts in their community. Talking to some people involved in the production, rehearsals went on for a couple months beforehand, actors and musicians rehearsing hours into the night after working a full day. The play was "Radio Hour", a dramatization of a 1940s radio variety hour production. The play was wonderful, and featured a marvelous blend of drama, singing, dancing and music. The live music really made the show. As a bonus we took away insights and an appreciation for the behind-the-scenes work of early radio productions. Endeavor Hall has constraints as to stage size and we admired the creativity behind the stage setting and production to optimize what they had. Unbeknownst to us, the Clayton Theater Company has been putting on productions since at least 2013, typically at least a couple a year. Past productions have included Arsenic and Old Lace, Urinetown, Rumors, and You're a Good Man Charlie Brown. They won several 2017 Shellie Awards. Community theater fans in the area owe it to themselves to check out the Clayton Theater Company.

At Legends, you walk in to everyone minding their own business which is so lovely. You can walk up and order food, drinks, grab your # and sit inside or outside. Outside there's TVs streaming sports and you can also watch folks at the driving range. The crowd varies across all age groups, which again, stays true to the theme of family friendly and mind your own business. Bathrooms are clean. Parking is plenty. It's a gem for Concord and a lovely place to gather, eat, play, get some online work done, and so on. If your sensitive to noise, that of people talking at various levels, music randomly playing, sports etc. maybe this isn't the place for you, because the noise levels can vary. But, if you don't mind the occasional loud yell of joy, children being children, adults catching up, folks celebrating birthdays/sports events, etc. then this is a great place to check out.

Well.. I placed an order for a California burger and it's $19 it sounded great and love every item…read moreon the burger.. I took a bite of my burgers and though there was extra veggies as asked the burger was absolutely bland it had no flavor at all. It was even hard to get a nice taste of the veggies but the burger had absolutely no flavor no salt no pepper no flavor at all. The burger was cooked well done which doesn't really bother me much it's just that when you get a nice looking juicy burger you don't expect a flavorless item that you cannot taste. The fries were also subpar at most as there was no seasoning on them and were extremely bland everything was extremely bland. Very disappointed at this experience. People were fine and the service was fine on top of that the place was quite clean but the food was a let down this time.
