    Great event space- fantastic acoustics. Suggest getting an upper level table for events. Horrible cell service and no WiFi. Great staff and prompt service at bars. Have loved all events at the Vogel

    Fantastic location next to what was the count Basie aka Hackensack theater etc. The Vogel has a rooftop with a small bar for the show pregame, comfortable seating on the rooftop with views of the Navesink. The actual venue is wide open, general admission with very little seating on the main floor. There is a 2nd floor balcony with additional seating and tables but for some reason they did not open it. The main floor has a full bar with reasonably priced libations. The wife and I saw Night Train there and the sound is fantastic, almost too good. On this night this Guns N Roses cover band blew the doors off. I would not hesitate to return....only wish the 2nd floor seating was open....

    The Vogel is a newer small venue that is owned by the Count Basie Theater. Excellent acoustics and lighting are great for smaller, intimate acts. The place is set up with long tables and comfortable chairs facing the stage on the first floor. The second floor houses individual tables of 2/4 surrounding the perimeter of the building. There's a bar on each floor. The menu is limited. At this time a CDC card must be shown to gain admittance. Masks are optional.

    A little less than half of the stage, up close.

    Such a great intimate venue to get to watch The Phoenix Theater Production's performance of Peter and the Starcatcher! The lighting and stage setting was incredible. We watched magic came to life as the intimacy of this venue made you almost feel a part of it. The folding chairs were extremely comfortable with 3x the cushion of most. Not a bad seat in the house. The second tier had tables with 2-4 chairs set up. The bar had a huge selection of wine and bear, regular concession snacks. This production was hysterically funny. The complexity of what the actors had to do just flowed effortlessly. Props to the props! ‍I didn't want it to end. Nonstop laughter! One of my favorite productions, unexpectedly! Kudos to the sound effects guy perfectly on point! It was hard to leave a review for just the venue without mentioning the show

    At first walking into this space I wasn't sure. Pretty wide open seating. A large curtain screen was down in front mid the stage advertising upcoming events. In the main area are long tables for assigned seating. In the back of the room are some high tables and rail seatings. Upstairs in the "balcony" are high tables along the este of the perimeter and then in the back of that area are tables which from those tables you can hear and watch from projected screens. Sort of reminded me of say The Bottom Line but higher ceilings. Sound was very good, even from the balcony seating (went to check it out) very enjoyable space. Nicely thought out. Long tables weren't on top of each other. Local drafts would be a good addition

    I love the vibe of The Vogel. It'an intimate setting and depending on the seating layout, it has a supper club feel at times. Nice venue.

    First time here and where are all the Yelpers? I can't believe there is only one review for this…read morehistoric 100 year old building. Came to see The Fixx. Grew up during the 2nd wave of British invasion to the U.S. There is not one 80s group that I don't know about. Not many people know of this band. Cy Curnin can still perform and sing. Love his voice and the way he dances on stage. So happy that I got to see him in my late 50s. Pros: - acoustics were on point. - intimate venue which makes the view from each seat great. - plush comfortable seating. - restrooms are clean and I love the decor. - every staff member we encountered were helpful and friendly. - I was thirsty AF from all the dancing. I was actually okay with them charging $4 for bottled water. Cons: - none Interestingly enough, most of the fans for this concert were well over 60 years old. There were two police officers in the lobby to keep an eye on things in case us seniors get into a scuffle. Lol. You can see where the tax dollars are going in this township. Entering and exiting this beautiful theater was quick and easy. Here is a parking tip: instead of paying $30 at the adjacent lot, you can park at the Red Bank Train Station for free after 11am. It is only a short 5 minute walk. I would totally see another concert or show here in the near future.

    First and probably the last time at this theater. The theater is beautiful. Franki Valli was…read moregreat to see BUT the parking is a total CRAP SHOW. If you have a handicap person with you, GOOD LUCK. Show was at 7:30, we arrived at 6:00 to NO parking. I drove around for 30 min. Were told to go to the municipal lot. Coming from 2 hours away, no clue where that was, I was busy dodging cars and people in the dark. I ended up dropping off the handicap person and parking down past the train or bus station, I don't know what it was as I was huffing it MANY BLOCKS to get back to my 89 yr old guest and watching shady looking guys standing around watching. As you got closer to the theater, I felt safer. We had 2nd row balcony seats, great view but if you are over 5 ft, your knees are SCREWED. Everyone around me had their knees getting crushed, no leg room at all. I don't have bad knees and mine were hurting being forced bent for so long. Then the guy in front of us was rocking and rolling, so his chair was smashing into my knees. I'm only 5'4". I hope others have a better experience. Ours was not a great bday celebration.
