Very good.

Cons: None.

Pros: Yes, amazing.
Cons: None.

The Tennessee Theatre is absolutely gorgeous. Although restored in 2005, it looks like it was just done over this week! Gorgeous details, lighting fixtures, ceiling and wall designs, and an intimate setting. Like much of downtown Knoxville, it has been preserved to perfection.

Pros: Absolutely phenomenal collaboration between music and dance and poetry - Lucy Negro Redux Ballet performed by the Nashville Ballet.
Cons: Nothing disappointed!

Will be back for church or more events in the future.

Pros: The building was awesome and the people worked their butts off to help you.
Cons: No disappointments.

Great venue, great owner, and a great band, Pennants!

Pros: The opening band, Pennants, were fabulous.
Cons: Nothing.

I went to see Ateez : The Expedition Tour.

Pros: The security kept people within the lines and there was no pushing, shoving etc.
Cons: The way the lines were handled could have been better.

My visit was to attend a birthday party.

Pros: The room was set up and decorated nicely; the music was great and I enjoyed being with the family and celebrating my niece's birthday that night.
Cons: There wasn't anything bad.

I am more of a traditionalist. I have seen As You Like It a couple of times, once in London, and even went to a pre-play discussion of it this time. I knew it would be in modern dress. So putting the players in tennis shoes, sweatshirts, heavy jackets, etc. didn't surprise me, but it didn't work well for me either. The music was well-played and upbeat, and most of the audience seemed to love it and have a ball. For me it was sort of '"As most of you like it."

Pros: Our seats were in a good place so we could see and hear well. We were a few minutes late, but were ushered in at a reasonably short time.
Cons: For me, who did not bring my hearing aids, as we were sitting pretty close to the front, I had a hard time understanding a lot of the dialogue. The players spoke quickly, and much of it was lost to me. Many in the audience laughed along with the dialogue, and obviously enjoyed it very much.

Pros: Good selection of food and drinks. Good view of court.

Not the best sound quality but overall a great experience.

Pros: Staff.
Cons: Tight seating; bad sound.

Not the best venue at all.

Pros: Jeff Dunham was great.
Cons: I thought the venue was not very good - too crowded in the seating area on the floor where we paid a lot of money for the tickets; the parking was TERRIBLE.

Cons: None.

Pros: Great act.
Cons: Dark; not enough staff/ushers. Seats were old.

Great time; everyone was great on security and helped everyone with their needs.

Pros: Great time; concert was awesome; great seating.
Cons: Drinks were a little high but has newer beer on tap but not any older beer.

5 stars.

Cons: No disappointments at all.

Loved how beautiful it was.

Pros: The entertainment.
Cons: Nothing.

Great venue for seeing our favorite musicians.

Pros: Great seats.

Arena was good. Professional and friendly workers. GREAT sound system.

Pros: All but the seating was uncomfortable.
Cons: Seating was cramped.

The arena is spacious; it has good acoustics and the bathrooms were clean.

Pros: Clean; modern; organized entry even with a lot of people.
Cons: We had a big group and a staff member was slightly unpleasant when only one of us had all the digital tickets. It wasn't horrible, just a little awkward.

The musical we saw was great; the theater was under construction, but the staff was extremely helpful.

Pros: Parking was easy; the show was great. The theater seating was wonderful.
Cons: The show did not start on time - was 10 minutes late in starting and was just as late starting after the intermission.

Never again will I go to Echostage! Very unorganized.

Pros: N/A.
Cons: Getting trampled over outside before I even made it in to the show. I stood around for a total of 5 hours to see a 20-25 minute show.

This was my first visit and I had an amazing time. Excellent service and a very good crowd of people there.

Pros: The bartenders were very responsive and kind to everyone.
Cons: No complaints.

Terribly long lines with little signage. No notification prior to event (on website for example) for not allowing purses. Thanks, I left mine in the garbage can. Too few scanners for a crowd this large.

Pros: Not much except Bob Seger.
Cons: Yes.

It was a great venue to see an artist we wanted and we were up front about 15 feet from the stage. Was a great show.

Pros: Atmosphere.
Cons: Had to stand in line for a long time.

Concert was great. Bathrooms were very clean and the wait line in went very fast! Prices were high for drinks but that is usual for a place like that. Loved the area!

Pros: The walk to the venue was a very short distance from our hotel and we were able to walk there and back after easily.
Cons: Drink prices!

Pros: It was a great concert!

Pros: Seating was close to the stage. Easy to get to. Comedians that perform here are top notch.
Cons: Food was expensive for what tasted like microwaveable food.

It was a nice venue and had good access and a good view. My daughter had a nosebleed which she never had before in her life. The staff was very nice and helpful. It was interesting that this was at a high school but everything was very nice and accessible. We enjoyed our night.

Pros: Easy access and good view.
Cons: No problems.

Very nice venue, but the seats could be better. Seating diagram is misleading.

Pros: Great special effects and Sarah was magnificent.
Cons: We had seats on row three, and by the seating diagram, it looked like we would be up higher. However, our level was four rows deep, and we had to look around several heads.

Went to the late show of Jim Gaffigan's tour. No disappointments, enjoyed the venue and the show.

Pros: Comfortable seats; easily accessible downtown; attractive venue.
Cons: We did not even bother checking out the bar menu due to bad reviews from other about overpriced alcohol.

Pros: Kelly Clarkson was great!
Cons: TV screens on the sides of the stage were a little too small.

Fabulous!

Had a good time. Fox Theater is a nice venue.

Cons: Bar closed fairly early.

Great Show.

Pros: Clean and close to our entertainment.
Cons: Green Bay Sidewalks we not shoveled.

Friendly staff. Fun atmosphere!

My sister and I went to a reunion of friends from our old neighborhood. It was a neat place to meet everyone at, and pretty convenient location. A lot of fun.

Pros: It has a casual environment, good music and food.
Cons: The restrooms were not in the best of shape.

Terrific venue; wonderful acoustic; large enough to feel like a robust concert hall, yet small enough to make one feel totally immersed.

Pros: Comfortable and intimate.
Cons: None.

Pros: Great venue for a musical!
Cons: Will choose a seat in a box next time. Aisles are too narrow and got tired of standing repeatedly so other patrons could pass through to their seats.

Pros: Yes, good seats and beautiful lighting and sound.

Liz Cooper and the Stampedes put on a great show!

Pros: Great place to see a show; sound was great too.
Cons: Could have used another bartender.

The Metro staff I interacted with were tuned in, tapped in, turned on - from the young lady who gave us a huge smile while changing the posters in the window as we waited outside for the doors to open to the security guy who handed the person next to me a bottled water out of the blue. The energy of the whole evening was magical! Getting to see and listen to Aurora in such an intimate setting is something I will cherish forever, THANK YOU!

Pros: I enjoyed talking to a Metro security guy, native to Chicago, hours before the show who was very willing to share with me his opinion about whether or not I should try the hotdog place across the street.
Cons: I was not at all disappointed in any way! Here's a tip for people who check their coats - the line to coat check is on the left when leaving the venue.

It's a nice small club; there is a TV showing the stage near the bar so if you want a drink you don't miss anything. It sounded good, great time!

Pros: Cool vibe; bouncers patted everyone down so I felt really safe.

Wonderful music.

Pros: Very good view of the stage.
Cons: None.

Chrysler Hall is a very nice venue. Norfolk Forum has consistently excellent speakers which enrich the lives of Hampton Roads residents.

Pros: Informative and interesting!
Cons: No complaints.

Music was great; hopefully seating will improve.

Pros: The music and acoustics were great.
Cons: Seating. Hopefully the fold up seats are temporary and the permanent ones will at least enable one to see the stage.

This venue needs updating throughout. The seats are old style and not what someone should expect for the money they charge.

Pros: Quality of entertainment.
Cons: The seats are very uncomfortable and need replacing. I felt like I was crammed into too small an area to create more seating. My knees were higher in the air than my butt and legs. No room to move your feet.

The Ebell is a wonderful old theatre space with a fabulous little courtyard in the middle. My conference took up the entire space and was filled with conference materials in every corner. I was very impressed with the way the Ebell lent itself to being used this way.

Pros: Every space at this venue was great and offered something historical in terms of its architecture. It was also comfortable.
Cons: I was disappointed by some of the bathroom stalls which had no locks on them.

Pros: The artist was amazing.
