Reviews of Arena Theatre

Temeka Chatmon

First time there. Came from Dallas to attend the concert. Need to update parking to accept cards. Had to try to back out of line turn around to get cash. Bathrooms are super small and needs repair. Didn't visit anything else, But the show was amazing!

Michelle Perales

The ventilation in this place does scare me a bit. But I understand your tactic. However, The atmosphere was set perfectly for the groups that played be seen at a 360. Great for all sorts of performances 👏 Bathrooms however are in no condition to support such large audiences. Every other door locked appropriately for the woman's Bathrooms. Rationed toilet paper for others to use. Again, humid and hot all around the venue. Perhaps more bar room for beverages, that don't have such large lines too? 🤔 If you are acclimated, then you will be fine. Otherwise not for the faint hearted.

Daniel Horande

Good venue. Good audio. The rotation on the stage can be a little bit bad cause you will have the artist facing the other way sometimes The venue felt really hot inside. We all are sweet.

Nancy Fuentes

The lines were extremely long to get mixed drinks and to the restroom. The parking was horrible and they only accepted cash. Better get seats in the front otherwise you'll only see people standing. 😒 Intocable was awesome and they played amazing ☺️🎵🫶😘 …

Tony Riley

The venue is great! My son and I attended a Yes concert here and it was an amazing experience. Be prepared to pay cash (only) for parking.

Mario Zapata

It was my first time going. I had an amazing time. Especially because i went with somebody special in my life. Which they means alot too me. Intocable still jams like always. Very good music great atmosphere. I can't wait to go back. 😊 …

Fro Ramirez

Love the place, it is a small somewhat older venue but gets the job done for sure for the type of shows they usually have. The reason I am taking a point away though is restroom and bar lines are RIDICULOUS. By the time the main concert starts you will probably wait a minimum of 25-30 mins for either.

pensamiento astractos del muy w

Small but clean place. Arrive early you may have issues parking 10 parking

D Jenkins

Perfect concert space, no bad seats, loved the spinning stage....! Drink prices varied at each bar 😕. Good popcorn. Leave your lighters in the car, they confiscate them at entry. Parked at restaurant to avoid wait for garage entry. 90s Kickback Concert …

Candy Deniece

I love this place for concerts. I enjoy the rotating stage. I love that everybody gets a good view. The parking can sometimes be a hassle but they are working on it. Highly recommend‼️

PAMELA BRITTON

THE TEMPTATIONS AND THE FOUR TOPS WERE TRULY AWESOME TONIGHT! THE BEST THING ABOUT ANY PERFORMANCE AT THE ARENA IS THAT THERE ISN'T ANY BAD SEAT IN THE BUILDING. I AM CONFIDENT THAT EVERYONE THERE HAD A BLAST FROM THE PAST. 🤗 …

Chris Burger

Finally made it to this venerable venue. 70's feel, reminds me of the Summit, but not nearly as big. Not really a bad seat. an intimate arena. Restrooms close at hand, makes for a quick pee break without having to walk a quarter mile.Same for concessions. On this night it was configured "in the round". I could get a view from behind the drummer. Easy freeway ,59, access.

Ericka Kane

Great space for FANTASTIC ARTIST

Cherie Hazelton

Absolutely the WEIRDEST place I've gone to for a concert (Summer Land tour featuring Everclear, Living Color, Hoobastank, and Wheetus) but I have got to say I LOVED how close we were to the bands and how intimate the performance felt.

Karen Kutach

Intimate venue. Not a bad seat in the Arena. The stage rotates throughout the concert. Love, love, love the Arena Theatre!

KD Mick

Even though this place is old and run down, it's a great place to see a concert. It's a circular venue with a rotating stage, so there's not a bad seat in the house. It's a small space, so every seat is close to the stage. My only complaint is the alcohol situation. There's a menu board with three types of wine listed. So I ordered some wine. However, they didn't actually have any wine. Apparently, that menu board has been there since the dinosaurs roamed the earth and its never been updated. So I got a margarita on the rocks instead, because they didn't have any flavored vodka. Whatever my date was drinking, they ran out of it, so he ended up with something similar (sort of) the next time he went back. So the alcohol situation is sketchy at best. With that being said, I will definitely return here for other concerts.

Sherrie Washington

Here for Mothers day Concert with Genuine and Jagged Edge and its ridiculously hot. Everyone fanning like they afraid to turn on the air for the Mothers. Hard to enjoy the concert

Kimberly Kidwell

There's not a bad seat in the house!!! Would've given a 5 star rating, but my only complaint was it was hot in the theater the whole time.

gmonarez

The Arena theater is very nice but kinda a throw back. Parking is ten dollars which isn't too bad. Overall a nice place to watch a performance.

Barrett James

This is an historic theater on the southwest side across from Sharpstown mall. Small intimate venue with rotating stage. There is not a bad seat in the place. Acoustics are good but overall the place is a bit dated and could use some upgrading. We saw Kirk Whalum Christmas gospel according to Jazz with Yolanda Adams here. It has been at TSU previously but this is a much better place as far as views and intimacy. Kirk Whalum never disappoints in his performances! Yolanda Adams was great too!

Suzanne Little

Outstanding Jazz concert. The Double Visiin tour by Bob James, David Sandborn and Marcus Miller. Larry Bragg joined on vocals for Since I Fell for You, You don't Know me and Poppa was a Rolling Stone. There is nothing like live jazz!

Tony Riley IV

Saw Yes here in October of 2022, the venue seemed super clean and well maintained, it's a little smaller than it looks, but the first couple of rows will definitely get you one of the best views you can ask for

Annica Henderson

This time at the Arena Theatre was a better than when I was there in May 2022 and there was no AC extremely hot humid in venue it was terrible for myself and the artist. So big kudos and this was my third time in the last 3 years 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾 …

Michael R McCarty

It's an oldie but it's a goodie. A great little venue to go see a band.

PlumbingGod*Com PlumbingQueen*Com

The parking was easy. The area and circle drive were clean and the security was very polite when answering a question I had about were a certain suite was. 🧐 The top floor was spotless clean. 🌍🌍🌍🌍🌍🌍🌍🌍🌍🌍🌍🌍🌍🌍🌍🌍🌍

kuetspal Lin

We went to see lost 80's live, the place is not so big, you can see pretty good from the last row, the parking place is ok, and clean restroom, just pay attention when you follow your GPS because if you are driving fast is very easy pass the entrance.

Paula Pierce

Saw Tracy Lawrence at the arena. Love this small venue for concerts. It revolves so everyone has a good seat. Sat so close that I caught his guitar pic❤️

This is Me. Bridgett!

I've always loved the Arena Theater! It's one of my favorite places to go see a show. No matter where you sit, you have an Ah-mazing seat! However, I decided to treat myself and sat in Section FF Row F Seat 14 to enjoy two of Jazz greats Gerald Albright and Will Downing! What a great show!

Joe Mack

Chaka Kahn! Bucket list complete!

Dee Dee Foodie4life

Every seat in the arena is good. We got tickets that said row CC.... I thought CC meant the 29th row.... WE WERE IN THE THIRD ROW.... what a treat and an excellent show.

Richard Finnigan

Excellent under-appreciated venue with a rotating stage for full engagement from every seat in the house! A Houston landmark venue.

TMA Andy

The 4th star is purely for how close you are to the performers. I absolutely love the intimate setting. I have been to the Arena a few times over the years and each time has been an awesome experience. Seating clarification: one of the things I was unsure about when booking was which letter is closest to the stage. The arena seating chart has both letter A and AA. AA seats are closest to the stage. Single letter alphabet seats are behind the double letters. You're welcome! One more tip about seating, try and book your seat on the aisle where it says something like "star aisle." The artists walk down this aisle to get to the stage. Keep in mind the place is really outdated. If u can get past that you'll have a great time with an intimate view of your favorite artist!

Victor Denson

Great concert Leela James really enjoyed it..great crowd grown-up music 🎶 @Vettix thanks again and thanks the Arena for the Tickets 🎟 👍 …

Kikimuncherr

Went to go see Pimpinela with my mom & sister. Had a blast. The staff was nice & friendly. Sometimes venues staff get worked up over nothing & start getting loud with people but tehy were joking & smiling. The people at the food kiosks were really nice too. I did hear that a lot of celebrities get dizzy on stage, including Pimpinela. Maybe you guys should do something about that, make it easier on them.

Michael Benissan

This theater truly lived up to its reputation for not having a bad seat in the house. I was there to see stand up comedy, and had no difficulty seeing the stage. The view was great even from the bar areas which meant I didn't miss out on anything when I got up to get drinks. Because of the available legroom, be prepared to stand to let anyone walk past you to their seat.

Sonya Martinez

Enjoy the bands you bring! Like the close up center stage and how it rotates. Please bring back again FOREIGNER! How about Bryan Adams, Pat Benatar and her band,, Heart, Whitesnake,,and to name a few more! Thank u!

Jeffrey Lemaster (Jeff)

Theater in the round. Stage rotates so not really a bad seat in the house. Even a good view from the last row. Charges for parking.

Otha Blackman

Very good sound system with a revolving stage, no eceko sound it's not that big every seat is a good seat.

Nashell Brown

When they have have a concert they have a concert! The people are always welcoming like a big family reunion! I love going and sharing these amazing moments with my future wife. Everytime we go it's another beautiful moment being made! Thanks Arena

Bradley Luster

Fantastic venue for amazingly close shows. Not a bad seat in this historic arena. Can't wait to continue seeing performances here. Could use an update to the restrooms, bars, and decor but the ability to feel so close to the performance is fantastic!

Tae Heath

Always a good time and a great show. I've been plenty of times. I just went to see Raheem Devaughn and Dru Hill and had the time of my life.

Shaketha Mikel

Was my first time at an event. I love the up close, intimate feel. Loved seeing Anthony David, Avery Sunshine, and Leela James. Great artist!

noe leev

I love to visit this place every time to experience the most amazing events. Tonight I enjoyed Natalia Jimenez 🌟 × 10... …

Shah Faisal Khan

Enjoyed an awesome Atif Aslam Concert at this place.

immo B

The actual venue was nice. The protocol to get in was messy, unorganized, and almost made me wanna turn back... once beyond the gates, I had a decent evening mostly. 2018 Brave New Voices Competition

A Hicks

It's probably one of the only Asian markets in the immediate vicinity.

Peter Trout

Lost in the 80s is a fun review. Next time I'll arrive a bit later. Everybody was Wang Chunging! English Beat are party animals and Flock of Seagulls quite polished.

Jessica Martinez

I have the best of time when I see any concert here. I saw Anuel and I loved his performance!!!

gerardo adame

Great place anywhere you sit . You have a great view

Phes M

I attended the Ja Rule/ Ashanti concert. This was my first time here and it was a good experience. I like the rotating stage.

Heather McDaniel

They could stand some renovations but I love the round seating and parking garage is clean and cash only. Shows are usually old school R&B or Latino artists. Cool place for a night out in Southwest Houston.

Suhay Fuentes

This place always has the best internment!!! Great prices, in tickets .

Ian Collins

This is a great venue, a little outdated and small seats... but still a good spot to catch your favorite Artist. We've seen Dwight Yoakum here 5 times now.

YUneed2

As everyone says, there really is no bad seatings in the house. The Parking is adequete and the staff is helpful. My only gripe is the mens bathroom stays filthy and needs an attendant.

Mark H

Great atmosphere! The rounded stage gives it a nice intimate atmosphere. There's not a bad seat in the house.

Sequetta Branch- Barber

I love this place... Great parking and clean inside. Great seats from any area in the arena.

James Koski

Like stepping back in time to 1980s Houston. Not a bad seat in the house and with the rotating stage the band will be front and center for you at some point!

Travis Rodgers

Outstanding venue. Not a bad seat in the house. Bar and food are a little weak.

Latresse Reedus

Every seat is a good seat. The food is reasonably priced but not good tasting and the drinks are fair. You don't show up to eat but to see a show and I couldn't think of a better location other than my living room lol. Parking is easy and I wish I could see every performance here.

Lakeesha Bates

I've been in Houston all of my life. The Cupid and J Paul Jr concert was my first time visiting the Arena Theater. The venue is nice. I like the seating. Anywhere you sit in the arena is a decent seat. They have a revolving stage. The adult beverages are a bit pricey. Overall I enjoyed the concert.

Eddie Summers

This is the best music venue in Houston! It's small, but somehow attracts great musical acts. The size makes every seat close to the performers. I look forward to seeing more concerts here.

Verlinda Collins

Great concert! DJ + crowd enthusiastic entertainment between was icing on the cake...HILARIOUS! Seats are comfortable however lack of spacing/leg/foot space between made for very uncommon night.

Melissa Villarreal

The show with escamilla was great. What killed it for almost everyone there was the fact that the a/c is either not on or extremely low. Everyone there was sweating and having to fan them selves with whatever they could. Totally unacceptable for as many people that were there and for as much as the tickets were. Unless is a tactic for people to get very hot and buy extra drinks🤷🏻‍♀️

Julie Gordey

Excellent venue. Every seat in the place is great. Easy parking, stage rotates in the center of venue! We saw Mavericks. They put on a high energy fabulous show. Will definitely attend another show at this intimate venue!!

Rebecca Ammons

We really enjoyed this venue. It doesnt matter where you sit the view is all the same! :) makes for a great stage

John Augillard

I've been to concerts here before and there isn't a bad seat in the house except for the fact that the stage spins so that everyone in the audience can get a frontal view of the performers. While it's a cool idea, it feels weird to see the performers spinning and doesn't add to the show experience for me. I'd rather watch in a more traditional venue or something else.

Eric Parker

No real seats... Drinks are not worth the money... Be sure to give yourself plenty of time to park...

Michelle Land

Good stage view from all seatimg areas. Convenient parking and pay options especially when concerts are taking place.

Erin K

The venue itself......it's ok. It really NEEDS a face-lift. Everything is very dated and has that old feel to it. It's a great place for concerts and I like that the stage rotates(like the rodeo concert stage) so there's never really a bad angle. Just update the arena as a whole. Other than that I liked it.

Daisey Ashley

The concert was great had a wonderful time

Roberto Pena

Parking was cash only. Concert started before the scheduled time. The place is small, but that, in my opinion was a good thing. Even if you're at the very top, you get an amazing view and great pictures.

Michael Pink

I have 3-4 concerts here ranging from Spanish Rock to Classical Rock, and all the shows were awesome. It's a great place, not a bad seat in the house. Can be a little confusing navigating through the halls, but nothing to fuss about.

Whale Gamez

Came to see a motivational speaker. The show was great, however the overpriced concessions and terrible parking drops the rating by 2 stars. Especially as they don't let anyone know they only accept cash for parking, so even after 20 minutes in line to park you might be out of luck if you don't have cash.

Mike Malecki

EXCELLENT SITTING DON'T NEED TO PAY HIGH DOLLAR TOO PARK TOP OF THE LINE RECOMMEND IT TOO EVERYONE☝️👍🏻👌🍻🍻

Audra Kuby

Overall great atmosphere. Drinks are a bit pricey, but venue is small enough to feel intimate yet lend itself to good crowd energy. Will keep coming back.

Radio Raheem

The concert was amazing love love it. But the arena really needs updating sound system kind of wack seating tight. No for service really and outdated bar offerings

Freddy Nunez Rusa

Love this one for a concert unique experience with a rotating esceanario!

Cynthia de la garza

Brincos Dieras gave a great show. I would watch it all over again.

g account

Nice venue. Parking issue. One way in/out when event was over - took too long to exit. Rotating stage 🆗 Clean toilets …

Janice Lavalais

Nice concert venue. There not a bad seat in the arena, yet closer to the stage is better. I've attended many concerts here .The staff is always friendly & fun. My last concert was Neo & Tamia.

Carl Hazlewood

Not bad. Didn't have much of an option for concessions. Basically what you'd get at a little league baseball game plus a couple of beers and liquor. The bathrooms were also fairly small for the size of the venue. Besides those things, the sound system was nice and the building itself felt nice enough. The venue staff were also friendly and helpful.

Faisal Humayun

It's an intimate venue but horribly concealed in a busy downtown street. Route from parking to arena is not handicap accessible

Carlos Mendoza

Great view no matter where your seated .

Wayne Palmer

Fantastic we love the Arena because of its size so much better than paying for a seat only to watch the artist on a big screen!! Keep doing what your doing Arena theater just bring more country 👍👍 …

pamela robinson

Had an enjoyable time for my daughter's 40th Birthday Celebration 😉 …

LaTisha Marie

Every seat in the arena theatre is good and the stage rotates. I had a great time. The drinks were a little weak but overall i had fun!!

Luis Escalante

Everything was good... the only thing I'm giving them a 4 is because they do not accept cards... be aware! You will need cash!

Tazw Carter

NICE CLEAN PLACE FOR CONCERTS DOCTORS APPOIMENTS ECT.

Vickie Heath

Always enjoy the times I go to concerts at the Arena Theater. Prices are decent and I love the variety of performers offered.

Angie Greene

What a perfect intimate place for an evening with an artist. Moving stage and great sound. I wish there were more places like this everywhere.

Passion Flowers by Holly

Love the arrangement of the seating! It's in a circle with the stage in the center that rotates! Views are great from every seat! I can't wait to attend another show here!

Priscilla Montes

Great view from pretty much any seat in the arena! The concessions are okay, facilities are clean and the seats are comfortable. You will need to pay to park but it's covered and just short walk to the elevators. I enjoy the abstract art down the hall to the actual area.

KarinaM

This place is the best place to see a live band. I went to a concert on Friday the show was amazing

LaWanda Kemp

Very nice venue. Sound system is good. Love the rotating stage. Every seat is a good seat! Easy to get to as far as location. Easy parking. Drinks are high but guess that's just the cost of doing business!

Albert Moyer

Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo Mariachi Competition was a blast. Great venue!

Walter Williams

Cool, unique venue ... Great act (Chaka Khan) ... terrible sound mix...

Reginald Bailey

The venue could use some sprucing up on the inside. I noticed that the video feed displaying on the large monitors capturing the action on center stage, had a significant lag time of a few seconds. That is annoying. Now if people would learn to keep their butts in their seats rather than standing up for the majority of the show, blocking the view of the people behind you, it would make it more enjoyable. Fred Hammond and company delivered an excellent Gospel filled evening and it was in point. The stage spotlights could use some help with their aim, however.

Meme Simone

Fast entry, clean restroom and strong drinks! I love it here.

sam davis

The show was great!!!! but this place is to nice for it to be as hot and uncomfortable as it was!!! just not acceptable...we pay to support artists and hell the artists even complaining about the air.... would not recommend coming here until the air is fixed.... unacceptable

Joan Thigpen

A friend and I went to see the Four Tops and the Temptation. It was our first concert since Covid. Although we wasn't sitting on top of others. I would like to suggest a seat between parties. We had a drink and a good time. Planning on returning 🤗 …

Melissa Mendez

Great time at the Franco Escamilla show. The parking lot has enough spots and just $10. The place is not that big but is good.

Fabiola Martinez

Great place for concerts, every seat is close enough to the stage. Snacks and drinks were good too. However, their restrooms aren't big so a line forms during events.

Brian Rice

Had a great time seeing The Temptations and The Four Tops!

John M. Oyerbides

Really great venue for concerts. The stage rotates and it is a lot of fun. My only complaint was that the men's bathroom situation was bad; very small.

Amber Jordan

Nice place to go for a show Easy to go through the lines. No one harasses you and everything is clean. We definitely enjoyed ourselves.

Pete Spratt

Great venue! Had the pleasure of fighting and coaching there! Not a bad seat in the house!

Samira Seals

This is a great venue! It's easy to get to, great parking and the perfect size. What I love most is the revolving stage. BRILLIANT IDEA!!! Every guest gets an opportunity to see the performer at the same angle which makes every seat a good seat. Despite it being an older venue, it's very well maintained and no matter where you sit, you don't have to walk a country mile to get to the restroom when needed. Definitely one of my favorite venues.

M Brown

Great venue for a variety type of events. Gregory Porter's performance and concert was awesome. The Violinist that opened the concert was fantastic. We did great with the seating, and the people were polite and in compliance during the concert.

Joshua Meadows

Nice small place for a great show.

La Toya Patel

Great for small concerts. Only take back women's restroom. Other than that Great location and concert experience.

Tinisha Cox

They really have to do better. The traffic getting into the venue takes absolutely too long. Also they do not run the air or is that just a ploy to get us to buy more drinks. Very uncomfortable!!! Team Smart Financial!!

Wanda Hatton

Location is perfect! The room was so nice beautiful cozy and the bed was comfortable. Everything you need at the hotel. The hotel is beautiful & was in the perfect spot for visiting the Riverwalk. You don't need a car. 5 Star Hotel ⭐ ⭐⭐⭐⭐

M L

Parking seemed easy and effortless and no matter where you sit there is not a bad seat in the house. I went to see Gregory Porter with friends and thoroughly enjoyed myself. I will definitely be back!

Bradley Goode

Entrances are not that visible, other then that excellent venue.

Brandi Skinner

The Arena Theater is hands down...one if the best Houston venues. There is no bad seat! The crowd is always grown and sexy and the drinks are the same. I took one star, because the place definitely needs a makeover....it has an old building feeling to it...it's the opposite of how you feel when you go to Smart Financial Center...and one star because the restrooms are...not ergonomically sound. I still will ALWAYS SAY YES to going to the Arena though it's enjoyable.

Glen Dingley

The round stage actually turns. It rotates ever so slowly as the concert progresses. But when the stage is turned away from your view, just look up on the huge TV monitor above the stage to see the artist. We saw Amy Grant there and it was great.

Christopher Colbert

Nice clean place. Live music and great ENTERTAINMENT.

Cheryl Czerewaty

A Houston Treasure. Love this place not a bad seat in the house. I've seen the Monkees, the Beach Boys and the Four Tops and the Temptations here. All the concerts were great.

Andre Allen

Very clean and enjoyed the rotating stage.

Kyle Melancon

Went to see Dwight Yoakam and Sugarcane Jane in May 2021. Arena Theater is a great venue. The size is perfect to make the audience feel connected to the entertainers in a way other concert venues simply cannot offer. The seating was comfortable. Sound quality in domes cannot be matched. The rotating stage rotates slow enough to enjoy the show. Concessions were high but the selection was great! There were plenty of very helpful employees looking to help you find your seats or answer any questions you may have.The parking was easy (but bring cash).

Myra Rock

Went to the Tank and Anthony Hamilton show last night and it was HOT, the show as well as the venue. It felt like someone forgot to turn the air on. Also, getting out of the parking lot is pure hell. There has got to be a better way.

Margaret Suarez

Oh yeah it was great. Security ,employees all good. Good place to go to concerts had never been there and can't wait to go back. Any seat is good. Wherever you sit is good and close.

Linda Tran

On May 1, 2021, I went to Air Supply concert at the Arena Theatre. I love Air Supply's music and grew up listening to it. It brought back a lot of great memories. I also love that there are really no bad seat at the Arena Theatre and the rotating stage. It was a wonderful evening.

Jacqueline Gooden

I come here for my attorney's office he's on one of the top floors. I like the building it's just very complicated to go in the morning before you have coffee.

Sexythickums4u 2have

Very intimate setting small restroom..but also if can park om exterior even better garage will be a wait(Eric Benet

Juanice Mayfield

I love Tank and Anthony Hamilton will always come our to see them. Loved it

Nyla Dee

Enjoyed the venue. Just wish the parking was more efficient. Cash only holds up the line

Sam Mason

Got there early for good parking. Every seat is a great seat. The revolving stage makes sure you get a great view of the performers. Dave Koz and the jazzy horns was a fantastic show.

Bradley Hobson

Had a Great Time The Musicians Were All Fantastic

Tia Clark

I usually love seeing performance here but last time it was sooo hot in the main seating area i couldn't really enjoy myself. Made for a long nite in unbearable heat. ):

Robert Frausto

Although they don't allow lighters which my friend didn't like the venue was small and intimate allowing for a good view of the stage. I was annoyed that the stage didn't rotate since the venue is in the round. I know not all was opened up but I had my had hoped that since I was positioned on the side I'd get an ok view of it even just moved a little bit. But since the stage was small and the band paid attention to the sides it was ok.

Laura Baker - LuvTravel Advisors

Fun historical arena... Wish there were more mainstream concerts there.

Felicia Wilson

Loved the Tank concert but disappointed in the lack of air conditioning in the seating areas. Everyone to our left and right was complaining about the air flow + how increasingly hot it was. No one, especially women, want to be dressed up and in seats that cost $118+ only to be sweaty and frantically fanning ourselves with our ticket stubs in hopes of getting some sort of breeze. What's odd is that the only air conditioned areas were around the restroom entrances and the walkways by the concessions. In addition, the women's restroom is in DESPERATE need of an upgrade & addition stalls added (not to mention new doors so you're not having to hold them shut for strangers while they use the facilities). Given the amount of money this place generates, I was perplexed as to why the conditions weren't up to par. It would be great to see some updates especially since this is a highly visited theatre and concert venue. Come on Arena Theatre, I like you, please do better! PS: Female staff were very friendly, but the man near section 10 was extremely rude.

Terry Herbert

I love the size and feel of the venue. All of the seats are good.

Juan Gaytan

Good venue to watch your favorites artist

Marina Potter

Excellent venue easy to get around stage in a perfect setting everything was efficient and all the staff were very very friendly and helpful! Parking was easy I absolutely love this venue for concerts

Mary San Miguel

Great night!

Big Man 🈴 JAPAN 🈯 (BAKi)

Went to go see some of me boykies fight at Fury. 10 dollars parking is a bit much on a weekend but everything else was cool. It's a pretty decent venue. The sound system is loud enough. Seating is fair ... Prices?? meh?!! But every seat is pretty close so u can see good from anywhere. Not bad ...Not bad at all!

Robert Benford

went seen Shaka, she looks great and sounds great

Anthony Williams

Great venue and Kem is one of the best entertainers of this generation!

Les Holmes

Had a great time seeing Eric Roberson.

Jay Saucedo

It's a great little venue, where all seats are good seats. I am adding a picture of the concession and beer prices at the bar. Hopefully this will help others since I know I would find it helpful. However, they get you by adding an extra dollar if you order an import beer even though they don't display this on their price boards. I don't mind the pricing, but they need to be upfront about it. This photo was taken February of 2020.

Denise Little

The place is nice but use cash there. A bartender swiped my card like 5 times trying to print a receipt. Now the battle begins to get my money-back but great place

C Smith

The Jagged Edge and Ginuwine concert was so good in Houston! It was soooo hot in there! That was the only concern but other than that it was a very good performance for both Jagged Edge and Ginuwine!

JAY DE LEON

The best place to enjoy concert 🎶 …

Ernest Gonzalez

What great place to see a live band.

Elicia Rideau

I love the size and layout of the arena theater. The stage rotates for most performers so you have a good view from any seat. The tickets are very affordable (I've paid $45-100 depending on the artist). The drinks are overpriced and not great, but it's not a bar. The reason I only rate them 3 stars is they often cancel show after selling tickets and they don't let you know the show is canceled.

Sonia Molina

Had a blast listening to 38 Special😎🎸🎼🎤 …

Larry Grissom

I really like The Arena as a live music venue, have seen 5 shows in The Arena, including Dwight Yoakam (twice), a Rolling Stones tribute band, a Beatles tribute band and Johnny Rivers. I think the acoustics are good, all seats are good since the stage rotates so no matter where you are sitting you get to see the performers. Everybody seems to really have a good time in this intimate environment. Dwight will be back on May 28, 2021, but a pair of tickets will bump $300, including $71 in service fees, does not include parking or a couple of drinks. I consider that outrageous in the best of circumstances, but in this COVID environment, it is ridiculous. I wouldn't be surprised if i bought tickets and upon entry to the concert were to be told that masks are mandatory.

John Herrmann

Enjoyed seeing Shatner. Nice wholesome entertaining evening of story telling. Excellent acoustics but seats were a bit uncomfortable. No intermission didn't help. But overall a fun evening. Ingress and egress from parking needs improvement also.

Barbie Hackney

Great. The seats were comfortable and clean. The upgrades and remodeling is very good. They need to make more restroom stalls. Move the restrooms from the exit to prevent it from being blocked. Ways love the rotating stage and eliminate the band pit.

Jim Corpora

Cool Venue! Everyone working there both at the sale office when I bought tickets and working the night of the show were really nice! Not sure if something was up with the sound board at times the music drowned out the vocals. But overall I was satisfied!

Rhonda Braxton

Fun place to be the seats were not bad. Could see the artist from row 14. They even had a place to charge my phone right were the concert was. The music was perfect and up beat. The After7 and Brandy concert was great👍!!! Even found a hotel with in 3 min of the arena at La quinta inn 6790 Southwest freeway. Hotel was very nice. Pleasant stay !!!

Mark Lloyd

Intimate spot, rotating stage seems cool. But you spend a quarter of the show looking at their backs. Great performers make up for this a bit. Sound wasn't great but ok. Concessions were overpriced for such small cups and portions. Parking is good.

Ebony Johnson

Parking in the garage is usually $10 and CASH ONLY. Traffic wasn't too bad after the concert was over. Nice spinning stage. Fits only about 2000 people so every seat has a pretty decent view

genise theodore

It would really be nice for them to do better with timing! But the shows are always amazing! Jeezy and K.Michelle still showed out!

Margaret Baptiste

The restrooms are not comfortable for those with walkers and the doors don't shut. You would think after all these years, they would have enough to update the restrooms. One plus is the ramps to walk down instead of steps. Starting the show's timely could also be work in progress. Not on time. Great shows

SunShine (SunShine)

Show was great and I had great seats

Ross Mireles-Salinas

The facility is old & the seats outdated but it is still a great venue for concerts. The view is really good from any angle since the stage is round & it makes a complete 360 turns throughout the presentations. Garage parking is $10 cash and drinks are average priced.

Lola Dorante

Nice small theatre . Love it

David “RoadRashMedia”

Always a great time!

disc0ver

We went for a concert. The stage was right in the middle with seats all around it. Since the auditorium wasn't too big. Pretty much every seat in the house was a good seat. The stage rotates. The sound could be better. Overall a nice venue.

Sharon Grace

People need to be informed that standing during a whole performance is not courteous! Needs a seating plan for those that stand and those who want to sit and watch performances. Other than that, love this place. Every show I have go to here has been great! Awesome atmosphere and friendly staff!

Coffee Brown

I want to say I had an awesome time at the Arena theatre, definitely a venue to check out while in Houston. The venue is wonderful from the ample parking, ease in claiming your tickets, to the hassle-free security check and the comfortable seating. To the helpful staff which was courteous and accommodating felt very welcomed. This venue is top-notch, was very impressed with the mini jumbo trons, the up-close and personal stage, with an extra surprise it revolves. The theatre gives you a full 360 view of the performer/s, so everyone has an opportunity to be in front, great. The acoustics and lighting created an intimate ambiance and relaxing vibe that made the event memorable. They offer several concession stands throughout the venue, which makes it convenient and prevents long lines. I would definitely recommend attending any of the many events offered at this venue.

Marcelo Granillo

Good place for small concerts,but it is old, and needs lots of improvement. The audio they have is decent but their microphones are cheap. They cameras to see the performance are literally not good resolution much less good or big enough TV screens where the LIVE image gets aired.

Johnny King

The show was great. I like the round rotating stage. It's hard to have a bad seat given the closeness to the stage and the rotating stage. However, the venue is dated and in need of refurbishment. Restrooms were not clean or well supplied. I would go to Arena again for the right show.

Michael Prather

The seats are fantastic, no matter where you are sitting. The AC system needs some updating (and the restrooms could also use an expansion/facelift). It's an old theater, but the experience is great if it's not too hot.

Stephen P

Great venue for a concert. There is no bad seat in the place. It seemed very intimate and would go again if I get the chance.

Lucky Or Not

I love the seating arrangements. The venue needs to have better security because on my last visit, two random people were able to walk onto the stage during the performance and on my previous visit, someone was smoking marijuana during the concert and the security guards seemed unconcerned( lighters are supposedly not allowed inside the arena).

jorge rodriguez

Great little venue, intimate and there's not a bad seat in the house. However , very little attentiveness is offered to the guests. The concessions; a small investment and revamping of the food offered would help this venue tremendously. I know the arena theater has been around for a long time and I've been there many times, enjoyed many shows. I just wish they would be more conscientious and offer more to their guests.

Chanel Wells

I love seeing shows at the Arena theatre because it's so tiny so all the seats are good seats and the tickets, even the first rows, are usually not very costly. The bar and bathroom is always a few steps away. The parking isn't hectic because of the parking garage setup, although if your not one for stairs, know that the elevator can get hot musty and a line depending on the time of arrival and departure.

CARLOS CHAGOYA

Great venue! Any seat you get is worth the price, but the front ones are amazing and worth the experience! The restrooms are close by the bar has any liquor and beer. Everything is set up right for a great experience! Keep up the great work Arena Theatre!

JP ESCOBAR

Nice place to pass a good time

VictorA Pereira

It was my first time being there I believe and I had a really fun time seeing one of my favorite comedians come by and make us crack up. Good time!

Thom N

The venue is pretty good for a concert. Not too big or small. My issues are with the dated decor and concessions. The place needs some renovations, but the seating and acoustics are solid.

Daphne Bowman

I always enjoy myself when I attend the arena and being able to have front row seats are the best. The only downside is when people from the back come and stand in your way in the front so it feels like it's a defeated purpose on spending so much money on front row seats when the people from the back or able to come sit in the empty seats or stand in your way to try to get a picture or them just trying to be closer to the performers! If you could fix that problem then everything will be so much better!!

Steve

I have seen many, many shows here. It is a small venue. The stage is in the center of the venue and it spins around. There really isn't a bad seat. The only negative is picking up tickets at will call is a nightmare. You wait close to an hour in line. Then you have to deal with the rude people behind the window. Then you have to go through the security line. The last time I was there I had a digital ticket and could not pull it up on my phone because the reception in the building is not good. I went to the window and asked if they could print my ticket and she told me no. I told her that I could not pull it up on my phone and she said that a lot of people have that problem because of the reception. I asked her what I should do and she said to leave and request a refund. That's some customer service, huh?!?!

Arturo Morales

good place to see a good concert

Michael Russell

It is a unique venue with a rotating stage to give everyone a good view--part of the time. Showing its age here and there, but still a nice place to see a concert up close.

Sanford Almeida

Love this theatre. Was in the last row last night #RonnieMilsap and got approached by an attendant who moved us to the front!

Mallesh Pai

Nice theater with all round seating and reasonable event parking (10$). The theater is not that big so if you're going to a concert, just buy the cheapest tickets, even the last row is not that far from the stage. The concessions are reasonably priced (for a concession stand), but fairly limited (a couple of beers, some popcorn and nachos).

Renika Jacobs

The concert was nice. The theater itself needs to be renovated. They had the acts dressing rooms in bathrooms right in the hallway. It was crazy. The seats also are really old and absolete. I love the intimate setting though.

salvador galdamez

I have attended several concerts here and I can honestly say there isn't a bad seat in the arena. For some reason I think section 6-7 are the best. Good sound & great close up views.

Dagmar Bruno Ramos

Good theatre! I went there as a surprise from my husband. He got the tickets of the front rows close to the stage and it was a really good view. The stage is round and it move during the show so the back rows sits can have a view of the artist. But definitely the front rows are better because you see more often the show. If you want to touch the artist get the tickes on the side rows facing front to the stage entrance 😉

Sandra Carrizales

I love that no matter where I sit I can enjoy artist from a close enough distance due how small it is and the circular, rotating stage. I do not like that I have to pay parking after I've already paid for ticket. Just add it to the price of the ticket and avoid this extra space. Also, the floor was super sticky so we couldn't dance on it.

Charles Franklin

This is a nice concert venue whoever does the booking always keeps them packed with great talent. We went there to see the mixed martial art fight. I think they change the ownership the Legends Fighting Alliance because the feels a little bit different than the one we went to 2 years ago. It seemed more slow paced and they're only 10 fights or so but they were more organized and better quality fights.

Olivia P.

I would love to give this venue a 5 year rating based on performers alone but the seats are dated and very little leg room for those seated. I think it should have a slight renovation to make the seats more comfortable for the patrons.

dixie jo jones

Have not been there in many years and must say it's exactly the way I remember it although they added huge screens above the revolving stage now. I enjoy being able to see better for the Entertainer Johnny Rivers on the stage although the brightness of the screens takes away from the intimacy of the theater.

Delbra Phillips

My visit was not pleasant . Parking is a nightmare and the layout of the garage is dated needs to be redone. Once I accessed the building again the layout or floorplan is dated.I finally found my destination with some assistance the Doctor's office was cramped and gloomy.Staff was very nice and professional this was the only high light. I would not want to go there again.

angel moreno

This is a good venue to come see a concert. Almost any seat in the place is a good seat. Restrooms are every where on the side of the arena. Parking is just $10 dollars which is not bad. Drinks are expensive like anywhere else. Yes the arena is out dated but still a good place for a concert. The only thing they need to work on is some of the seats don't have numbers. So a usher has to help you find your seats. Also please updated your Website. When you purchase tickets online it will not show you where you will seat like other venues. Please update the website to show where will you be seating and if the seats have been sold.

James C.

For being in the hood, this theatre is pretty nice. I was pretty impressed by the stage set up. The stage rotated and the theatre itself way small and quaint. I was sitting in the back yet I felt like I was up close. I was impressed by the place and will go back for a show.

Tracey Lynch

I would definitely return to this venue. The stage is in the middle and it rotates 360 degrees constantly so everyone can enjoy the view. Big screens share the show so you don't miss anything as it turns.

Angelica Navarro

Awesome experience!

Lori Allen

Great show, limited bar but you can bypass long entry line if you go to bar first. Good seats with turning stage. Sound & big screen could be better.

Comiendo y Viajando

I love that you can see the stage so close even if you are seated at the back rows! What i did not like is the bathrooms!!!! Its horrible only 3 stalls per gender and some people take their sweet time so that gets very fustrating other than that the place is good! Might need some updates soon!

Carol Walker

Nice concert venue. Every seat is a good seat. Park as close to the exit as u can to get out faster.

AnaElisa Casasola

The concert was fantastic. I heard before that the sound at the Arena Theatre is not good, but last night was excellent with Diego El Cigala.

BgSxee Wright

Love Love this Arena...not a Bad seat in the house. Very intimate setting...I wish their confession stand had more choices & their bar wasn't so expensive...but hey...what can I say, we always enjoy ourselves...10 for parking plus a drink, on the way...A good time for sure!

Georgia Johnson

It was a great experience due to the performing acta. I've been here a few times before making this review. The seats are kinda small and I have hips and backside, once seated, its hard to get comfortable. The leg room between the seats can get uncomfortable after while. I recommend purchasing front row, aisle, and seats in the back to ensure some leg room. The potency of drinks are based on the bartender. They have lots of restrooms located throughout the arena which is a plus in my eyes. If a few more of my favorite artists come to Houston, I'd pay money to come see them here again.

Luna Angel

The overall experience was okay. Line for parking was extremely long and we waited like 40 minutes to park. Make sure to get there early to park.

Darlene Velo

been here a few times for concerts and always enjoy the shows. There is no bad seats. small venue but holds a good amount of ppl. and the drinks aren't over priced :)

Lora Owens

We had excellent seats, but the arena being in the round was a fabulous sight to see especially because we came from Wisconsin to see Chaka Khan, we were not disappointed. Chaka Khan rocked the house! What a wonderful venue!!

Claudia A.

Update. I went back for Ricardo Montaner's concert. I was surprised with all remodelations. Nice job guys! This place looks attractive from the outside but the inside needs more care . I mean chairs are ripped, old , and the paint on the inside of the whole place looks old , floors, restrooms needs to be fixed. I think it's a nice place but owners need to invest in this place .

Leslie Joseph

All of the seating in this theatre are great seats. There is a revolving stage so everyone gets the same vantage point one way or another. The drinks are stiff, a little over priced but nonetheless good.

Lesa Hicks

Recently saw show here. Love the cozy atmosphere. Excellent sound and like the preformers they bring to Houston. Only bad experience is the metal detectors make seating slow and seats are small and somewhat cramped if your tall.

jerzy grl

Had a great time, went to see Cheap Trick.

Mazhar Ali (Realtor & Traveler)

Ali Zafar rocked the Arena and Daniyal Zafar is also stylish singer

Mr. Mccoy

I went to the Arena Theatre for a doctor's appointment. The building is always clean and well maintained. The signage in the building helps so you get to exactly where you are going. I look forward to my next visit to the Arena Theatre. I have also been here in the past for a concert. It was well organized. The start time was delayed, but the wait was worth it as it was a magnificent concert, Erykah Badu.

Margarita Corona

Everything was amazing but they do REALLY NEED TO FIX THE AC THAT WAS SUPER HOT IT FELT LIKE YOU WHERE OUTSIDE

K-Von Lambert

I enjoyed the concert. Good seat for a fair price. Parking was good. security was good. Restrooms were tiny. Big girls beware. It was a tight squeeze on those stalls.

Jorge Pena

Had a great experience for my first concert in this arena! What they say is true, it is very intimate as you can really see who is singing right in front of you, love the fact that the stage spins!

Edward Bell

Came for Ledisi tour. Cool little atmosphere. Place is definitely showing it's age. It really needs some renovation

Lil Juan Jose

went to go see Ashanti and ja rule. venue was packed as can be, not an empty seat in sight. drinks were overpriced but then again you're at a concert. cheap and weak drink selections. the place is so small that even the worst seats were okay seats. everyone had a chance to enjoy the show regardless of seat choice.

Jasmin Rodriguez

There is no bad seat in this arena! I absolutely enjoy events here as they seem more intimate. There is a revolving stage to ensure you see all angles of your favorite artist. They typically have some basic concessions open and restrooms were clean at the beginning of the show, and pretty questionable by the end. Getting into the arena was a bit time consuming. I would definitely recommend giving yourself more than an hour before the show to get parked and make the trek inside the building (there is typically a very long line.) In the end, this is one of the best places to see events as its not a huge arena.

Nikki Ball

Musiq concert was amazing. The intimate setting made for a very Love Jones, finger snapping type of experience. The spinning stage gives everyone the opportunity to see the performer and bands at all angles. Love it!!

Gail Brown

The Mavericks put on a great show! I don't think there is a bad seat in the house.

Sheryl C

Chaka needs to come on earlier, and stay longer!! But she was GOOD her voice is still GOOD..her singers are very GOOD too!! I enjoyed..reminds me of a Frankie Beverly sing-a- long!!!

Norma G. Bradford

The main attraction Leela James didn't have a band. The DJ she brought tried to sign along but she couldn't sing well. People started to leave the Arena early.

David Cavazos

Great little spot just make sure to bring cash for parking. Seats are all fairly close to stage so either way u go youll get good view of entertainer(s).

Grace Shed

Great venue for concerts.. only downside small bath rooms.

Sara Smith-Frings

Really great venue, able to see show well from any location. Restrooms could use an update. Women's stalls small, no place to hang one's purse or jacket, odd little room upon exiting with no clear purpose. Limited snacks. Popcorn, nachos and hotdogs.

FmmeProductionsInc. FlowMoneyMusikentLLC

Great concerts. I met many celebrities here. I have performed here as well. Great place to enjoy music.

Mary Salazar

Not a bad seat in the house....

Charle (Carcarman)

It’s ok place , convenient to see favorite artist but traffic is terrible and only one way to get in

Fidel Venegas

Good place for concert but too hot and AC was not enough to cool off the place

Tracy Davis

Great service will definitely be back

J SSmith

I have the most fun at concerts there

Mauro Rodriguez

great place for concerts and events. I have had couple of school events in here. It's bigger than it seems from the outside. Your experience always changes according to the type of concert you go to. Very clean place, always enough parking.

Chazz B

Rotating stage meant no bad seats, but if you're tall or plus sized you may want to choose seating close to an end or aisle for comfort. Event parking was $10, cash only. Several bars inside. If you smoke, no lighters allowed.

Christopher Hugle

This place was off the hook I loved the music it took me back to my child hood all of my favorite artists was there case,next,jade,h town,I had a lot of fun 😊 …

Tina Butler

Great seats from wherever but needs to open more exits after performances. Trying to get out of the garage is always a lengthy nightmare. Drinks are bit high, but rotating stage is the great asset of it all.

irving barraza

Air Supply was great!! Audience had a great time. I love the rotating stage, everywhere you sat was a good seat.

Lori Gonzales

Had a great time at the event. After the show I went to retrieve my lighter and something else they took from my purse. I went where we entered and I told an officer what my intentions were..she lets me pass. I ended up having a quick chat with a gentleman that was a staff member. While we are chatting the officer..Her name Officer Scott walks up and interupts and states..They dont care..not knowing what we were talking about. I politely told her he might care. We finished our chat and she proceeds to be belligerent. I just smiled , turned to my daughter and we left. After exiting we decided we would not ever return. We decided that the police should be there to protect not harrass. Let me state that I appreciate and very much respect all law enforcement ...! She was such a disappointment and a poor representative of her department !

Stephanie Gaitan

Good experience with the concert, but NOT with the bar, bar B to be exact. The drink was $11.95, I told him I want 5 on the card and the rest cash, he said he can't do itit like that I said okay fine, I'll bring cash. Mind you he still has my card and still runs it, so it overdrafts my card & he tells me sorry its declined. I tell him I told u I only had 5 I wanted to pay the rest cash he rudly hands me back my card, and I come back with the cash (my husband had the cash) withwithout checking last night I noticed this morning I was overdrafted! Theatre was nice, with nice people except this bartender

Vincent Jones

It was my first time there. The seats were great. The sound was great. It's a nice venue. Parking was inexpensive and easy to get out after the show.

Perla Sahagun

It was awesome place invasores de neuvo leon

Audrey Bartholomew

The Joe and Stokley concert was great. No line no wait except for the show which started 45 minutes late. Stokley is a performer! Joe's microphone wasn't producing quality sound however he made it do what it do! Paying $10 to park is ridiculous!

Alanna Carson

This building is home to my corporate company TAVA Lifestyle. I was only in the meeting room this time but the space allocated an environment to socially distance and still have space for what we needed.

Captain Sparkle-Fingers

It's ok! Seats need to be renovated cause there really too close to each other front to back.

Sharon Konzem

I am handicapped and I have never been another building that is as handicapped unfriendly! No doors have handicapped access and the garage is a nightmare to figure out especially if you are going to Arena 1 building. Very limited handicapped parking and extremely difficult to find!!!!

FaEva Mikki

I've been twice, and both times the show stated extremely late. I hate the term CP Time... And I truly wish we could do better... By the time Rachelle Ferrell it the stage it was already late and people were leaving half into her show, which even she addressed from the stage.. En Vouge didn't come out until 10 o'clock... Show starts at 7 leaving the MC trying to hype everyone up as if we'd forget that we've been setting for 3 hours... We have got to do better....

ItzGetIt GyrlRU!

Absolutely the best arena I've attended. Drove from Beaumont to see Brian McKnight and Avant. Great performance from both artists. Enjoyed myself. Wonderful and much needed experience.

Andrew Terry

There are no bad seat,had a great time.

Ryan Stone

Love this place easy to get to easy to watch just a great place

Greg Bledsoe

Nice venue. Good acoustics. We saw Dwight Yoakum and Skooter Brown Band there. There's no bad seat in the place. Stage rotates so everyone gets a view.

anthony wright

Saw .38 Special. Great show. They should've left a/c on until show was over.

tina sobosle

Such an intimate type setting with the concert in the round. Love this venue and can't wait to come back!!

Alex Bruce

Such a great venue! Not a bad seat in the house. We will definitely be back!

Avery DeWalt

It's a cool place with the spinning stage but the drinks are too high. I ordered a Grey Goose on the rocks lite ice & that was $11 & it was no more than a shot or less

Beautiful By Butterfly

It's always too hot...love the dancing usher..always!!!

G Rosas

All seats have a good view.

Brenda D'Souza

Very easy to find, parking was $10.00 per vehicle for garage which is reasonable for an event. The theatre is cozy and love the rotating stage! I was dissaappinted with the TV screens and the quality of image displayed, very poor.

Rene

Favorite music venue! Cheap Trick ♡♡♡

Brittany Edwards

Its a little run down, but there seriously isnt a bad seat in the house. The stage rotates so you get to see some things that you wouldnt see in the beginning, but I dont believe the stage makes a full 360. I went for the Ashanti/JaRule concert and it was fun! The only thing I noticed was that the stage did not turn a full 360 degrees. I did not buy any concessions so I cant tell you how that was, but the DJ before the show did a good job getting the crowd hyped up.

Reg G

Glad to see the old seats replaced. I bought a vodka (Gray Goose) and cranberry juice, paid $11.50 (ouch). The drink was watered down. The guy next to me was able to sneak his Crown Apple in and bought soda the entire night. He came out cheaper.

11PinkMoon

I enjoyed myself when I was there. Will return to an interested event I want to go to. I felt in the vicinity to the artist and was able to experience it as an intimate hangout spot watching art be used as sound.

Manuel Garcia

Every seat is a good seat and stage rotates 360 degrees.

Kathy Boker

Saw Dwight Yoakum.. He is still very good at 64 sat on 2nd row. We just loved watching him dance. Momma oh momma

Richard Glenn

We had a really good time. We saw Lyfe Jennings and Brian McKnight, they were both wonderful. My wife and I were thet to see Lyfe, not only did he come almost an hour late bit because of his lateness he had to cut the songs he sang in half or he didn't sing them at all which really pissed us off. An explanation would've been nice....

Sherlanda Martin

Loved it. Great concert. Not a bad seat in the house. 1st time there. Will attend more coming events. We took an UBER.

Dee

I enjoy going to events here. The arena is small enough that you can see the stage well from the farthest seats. I've not seen anyone get out of hand or become obnoxious. It's a nice place.

James Jefferson

This has always been a special concert venue in Houston Texas, with the revolving stage and up close and intimate atmosphere! My first was Jackson 5 🎼1976/77 unbelievable 📸👋! …

Faraz Khan

Nice experience. Getting in and out was very easy. Did not rotate that night so that was a little disappointing

nikita gupta

Went there for Rahat Fateh Ali Khan concert, loved the concert. The only reason I rated this place 4 star is because the refreshments sold were not fresh and the price was undoubtedly high compare the quality and quantity.

Terry Canup

Older venue, but still a dynamic place to watch a concert or play. Its theatre ib the round concept means all seats are viable. Good accoustics also a big selling point. Easy access and parking. Just don't expect the laest high tech froo froo.

Duke Ensell

Love the shows and facility. So many 70's and 80's band take the round rotating stage.

James Jones (King James III)

This is my favorite place for concerts, comedy shows, or performances. Any seat is a great seat, and they have several concession stands around the arena. Usually covered parking is charged around $10.

Kay Jay

Great place for concerts

warren stevens

It's not a big venue so it lets you get close to the Stars you always have a front row seat to the musicians in the performers I think it's a great place to take a first date

Dena Blue

Great venue. Small but cozy. Food is not palatable.

TJ Mattei

Quaint, cozy, and awesome place to see an event. Every seat is a Great seat with the revolving stage. All concessions and bathrooms are inside the arena, so you never have to walk out or miss a moment of the show.

Magdalena Brooks

Straight forward and intimate with the stage.

Maya Friedman

Be careful of where you choose to sit. Yiu may get the front of the band/entertainment or you may get the back. UFC fights are good since it's 360 but other than that it is poorly managed for ppl just standing in your way for crowd control. Could use much better security management control as well.

Joshua C. Mares

JC DRUMMING

My cousin and I just traveled in to Houston for the first time in our lives to listen to good music from some of the best artists. Tonight's concert was really fun, we enjoyed it. #Genitallica #Inspector #ElTri

Joe Szatkowski

Myself and wife went here for a Legacy Fight (MMA). Parking was no problem, getting in the doors no problem. They also have bars in the arena and the draft beer was cold! As for food, nachos, hot dogs, popcorn which was good for a mma fight. I would have given the Arena Theatre 5 stars but they have to work on the old seats!! Not enough padding and they move all over the place. Over all we will Most Definitely be back!

Ali Richardson

Took our Grandfather for his 97th birthday, as expected Excellent service Excellent Show !!

Mobro

It was awesome. The best venue so far. Personal and up close. I'll be back for sure!

Alicia Hernandez

Check for rules before visiting be aware of and accident happens nobody is going to help you including the police. somebody hit and run at the parking lot inside the arena building and Nobody helped us. not coming back with my vehicle.

ramos_jacobo

I been there before it was good last time it was hot we were sweating

Adriana Salazar

Good Concert seating

Raul Rodriguez

The stage is built round so you get a good view no matter where you sit... The beer and bar food prices are not out of control like other live music venues...

Lauretta Donaldson

The show's are great. Need a full bar, we were limited on drink selection

Rosemond Richardson

Easy parking makes it very convenient. Reasonable price as well. Love the revolving stage. Intimate concert space. Every seat is a good seat.

Ernest Berry Jr

Awesome venue! Every seat is a good seat due to the rotating stage! The sound was phenomenal! Conveinient parking garage and quickly park and exit after the show!!!

Halona M Holland

My husband and I went to the 90s kickback concert. It was the first we have ever been and I love the layout. I've been to concerts alot of places and this one by far is the best.

MARGARET Perkins

Second time in this Theater. Clean and safe area.

Paul Douglas Rideout

I believe that for under 3,500 seating capacity, the Arena Theatre is the ultimate venue for intimate performances.Yet, it can and does handle rowdy quite well in the round! I'm remembering my first music concert here in the late 60's. I was overwhelmed by live music and was never the same again! Have worked publicity for many concert tour promoters at Arena Theatre since then. All genre, all ages. Its staging was then and still is a Houston icon. It's intimacy and acoustics for me, combined with its continued adabtability, is the reason for Arena Theatre's decades of success!

Roberto ivan Flores

It's clean, good environment. But the drinks and food were to expensive

Girasol Luna

The concert was amazing we celebrated my friend birthday with her favorite Mexican singer Maricela.

Joe Lights

this smaller theatre is a very nice place where the features of the venue are built in the round with a stage at the center of the circle. The staff and the tech crew were amazing and helpful. Really this place is an A+

Daniela Perez

Best place for concerts with fam.❤

Carlos Flores

It was the best experience I had in a while. Just, when you leave, better wait, traffic to get out of the parking tower is slow. But it is nice.

Cynthia Ashby

The concept of the venue is great, I love that there is not a bad seat in the house, but some major renovation must be done as it is pretty outdated and only 4 bathroom stalls for such large crowds.

Lisa Miller

Great intimate venue for concerts. However an hour worth of youtube videos is RIDICULOUS!! Put actual start time on tickets please, not the start time for Youtube... I can do that at home.

Juan Alvarado

Any seat is good to see the band.

S Barker

This place has upgraded their seats. Much more comfortable. Staff was very nice. Love the rotating stage. Parking was accessible.

Keela Edwards

I love the Arena because it provides a more intimate setting between artist and audience. It is time for them to upgrade the restrooms and the air conditioning system. Its always hot during a concert!!

Travis Young

No such thing as a bad seat in this arena. Parking is kind of bad but you’re paying for the show the rest are minor details. Great venue that makes shows feel more intimate.

Brenda K

Cramped space for a lady that is 5'10. Nice the way the stage spins so everyone can see. Sound system needs updating... Too much background noise and no crsipness to the sound at all.

Alex Greer

Cool venue. Nice staff. They ran out of all food about halfway through the concert.

Melvin Walker

I like the seating because even if you're in the " nose bleed" section you're still not that far away from the stage. The stage is round and it rotates so no matter where you're sitting you'll see the front of the stage at some time.

zunny garcia

Drinks inside are too expensive

Dechelle Webb

Good acoustics, intimate setting! Enjoyed the concert

Mary Martin

Good atmosphere. I intimate small arena Everyone was really friendly and helpful

Kevin M

Always loved this venue! Seen many shows over my life of 4 decades. Every seat is close and the sound is awesome!

Margaret Jackson

I was there for Will Downing and Gerald Albright concert. There was not a single bad seat in the arena. And the concert was everything!!!

terry luckett

The seats are always amazing here no matter how close are far from the stage. The stage revolves and the theater is circular so you a get great view consistently .

Amy Acord

Never a bad seat in the house. Good parking.

The best venue to see artist because y oil u are in the front next to them. The stage is so close to the seats and rotates. Everyone will have a chance to see the artist up close

We saw Hall & Oats concert Sat. The acoustics were horrible. You could not distinguish their individual voices and there was an echo. I approached their soundman and he agreed. He told me they did not have time for a through sound check and they were working on it. I am not sure who is ultimately responsible but I will never go back. We decided to make the best of it. They only played for about an hour and a half. Whats up with that. Wish I could get my money back!!

Collins Raye and Shenandoah were excellent and both on fantastic shows. The theater was a little too warm.

Great venue for live music. Not a bad seat in the house, provided they are rotating the stage. You can even see/hear the show when you're getting a drink.

Had an amazing night! The Commodores and The Temptations put on an awesome show. Love the spinning stage. Seating is kinda tight.

Like the theater. It spins so that everyone can see the singer. There are couple bars for popcorn, nachos and drinks.

Rachelle Harper

Much better.....they have upgraded/replaced the written/ turn ugly green seats. You can never get a bad seat in there because of the rotating stage and it's a small venue.

Alex Villasenor

Great acustic at this venue and the most important thing is the rotating stage. You have great views from mostly all seats and there are bars and restrooms all around.

Good place. Nice view of the artists. Very expensive drinks, hence the 4 stars.

I love this place!! It's comfortable and makes one feel more in touch with the artist. It creates a wonderful experience with the person or people giving the show
