It seemed tricky and almost scary to meld the new with the classic historic symphony hall. It really was beautifully done. The event was catered by Russos and the food and bar service was great. Huge crowd and I'm sure challenging! Bravo to the Sheldon team with this beautiful facility, the RMHstl team who put the event together and the architects and designers who brought this beautiful design project to life!

I'm so torn about this. On one hand, this is a beautiful, historic hall. But on the other hand,…read moreit's not accessible for those with mobility issues. I attended the Jeffrey Osborne concert and was shocked to learn we had to climb several flights of stairs to get to the balcony seats. If I missed this when I purchased my ticket then I apologize. If there wasn't a disclaimer, the Sheldon should add this to future events. It should be a check box you must complete acknowledging you must walk up several flights of stairs. I saw people with canes walking up stairs. This is not safe. Once upstairs in the balcony, the steps leading to each row are very steep and the step to the lowest row is a huge drop without any warning. I understand we don't want to destroy the character of this beautiful building but something must be done to warn people. Suggestions: 1. Warn people in advance 2. Fix the step to the bottom row of the balcony so it's not a huge drop Or, stop using this building for events, especially the balcony.

Bring your own snacks and drinks, enjoy the show. I was super confused on all of these things our first time around, but now I see others bringing small coolers, they know the words to the songs, and they all had their seats because we had to get a little creative with our random chairs that we plucked out of the audience. Fortunately for us, a couple left and we had real seats for the second half of the show. Both weeks were phenomenal musicians that made me feel like STL has some real hidden talent. A fantastic intimate venue that I look forward to visiting in the future.

You can comfortably seat 24 with space to mingle indoors and 24 (six tables of 4) outdoors. The garden patio is lovely and it was nice that it was covered and offered ceiling fans to keep the humid August air moving. I was disappointed in the lack of communication from Neil. I sent emails, but he never responded. I called a week later and someone told me he was out of town. He should get an auto-response for his emails if he plans on leaving town. He also said he would have the space set up (tables and chairs arranged) the night before my event, but when I arrived that day he was still in the process of setting up. That took time away from decorating the room and setting up the food buffet. Be aware the table linens they offer are the size of table toppers and only hang down about 3 inches, so plan on ordering your own table clothes. Overall the space is nice and the price is reasonable, but the coordinator is not very organized.

We just recently attended an event called Cocktails & Croquet and this space was perfect. A little history, this space was formerly the Shaw Theatre, opening in 1915 which once seated about 1100 people for screenings, offering some neighborhood nostalgia. Then the theatre transitioned from a bustling movie spot to a corner store. Now, like described above, it's a beautiful event space.

Last night was our time seeing a show at Red Flag, and we came away very impressed! Going in, the…read moresetup is very smart.. Toward the back of the room on the floor level, in front of the bar, there are bar height tables with seating. In front of those tables is open floor, so people can stand at the rail right up at the stage or form a mosh pit or dance, or whatever they do while enjoying the show. In addition to the floor space, there is the option of balcony tickets. The balcony space runs along two sides of the room. The sections along the back wall are separated by shipping containers so you have separate "rooms" with seating, some tables, and room to stand. The balcony above the doorway side of the room is open, without any rooms dividing it up. Sight-lines are great, upstairs or down. Whether you are upstairs or on the floor, the sound is amazing. It's pretty surprising to have such good acoustics in a square, mostly concrete room, but the designers obviously knew what they were doing. Between bands we could hear people on the other side of the room downstairs talking. My husband when downstairs, and I heard his voice from the balcony when he ran into and had a conversation with a friend, and my husband is a "quiet talker." But that brings me to my one criticism. The plan didn't seem to include dealing adequately with large crowds. Getting in required waiting, mostly outside, for quite awhile while one person scanned or sold tickets. Two bathrooms, one designated as men's and one for women, and the one bar are downstairs. Maximum capacity is 1.000 people, so the wait times for entrance, bathroom facilities, or bar service can be long. While that won't stop us from returning to see shows here (in my opinion the setup and acoustics more than make up for any wait times) it's just something to keep in mind.

The most important parts of a concert venue to me is sound and the view. Sound was great for the opener and main performance. The view can be obstructed depending where you are. Shows are general admission -- there is some seating but more standing room. We were able to grab a table & seats though and even though we were behind people in standing room only, the elevation of the floor where we were made it easy to enjoy the show while seated. I like the availability of a patio during the show though honestly it seemed pretty well claimed by smokers LOL.
