Royal Oak Music Theatre

Love this venue. Great views no matter where you are, good sound and easily accessible bar. A minor drawback is that it's almost exclusively standing room only. There are a couple of seats but most concerts I've been to at this venue require you to pay more for seats. Otherwise, this is an absolute great place to view an intimate, mid-sized concert

READ WHOLE REVIEW - Attended my first concert here, brought 3 girls for the Why Don't We concert. We waited in line for 4 hours. Just before the general admission door opened the line was shifted to the other side of the building. We were told this was to make more room on the sidewalks for safety. As we were starting to get close to the door, myself as well as many other parents in line notices that there now were two lines. When they shifted the line to the other end of the building they created a new line. The new line consisted of the people who were waiting towards the end of our original one line. Those people were being let in before us. I noticed a few parents discussing this with security at the door. They called for a manager and were waiting. I decided to wait as well because I was quite irritated. Within 5 minutes, Tommy, the operations manager met with us. He listened to our concerns and tried to explain why he did what he did. Many of the parents were angry and walked away. I continued discussing the issue with him. Tommy explained that he had to make a decision to split the line due to amount of people attending the concert waiting outside and their safety. He asked the people at the front of the new line when they arrived. They said 2:30. I informed him that they had stretched the truth with him a bit likely because they realized the sooner they told him the sooner he would let them in. He started letting them in before we got in which means we waited 4 hours in line and people who maybe arrived an hour ago were getting in sooner. In my opinion this was not fair and the new line should have been held outside until everyone before them in line got in. A line is a line even with general admission seats. There was no need to rush everyone in all at once. Now why am I giving this a 5 star review? Because Tommy and his entire staff were completely professional. Tommy listened to my concerns, helped me find my group since we got split up and even brought us some waters. He empathized with my frustrations and apologized. His staff remained professional even though many people were irritated. I would go to this venue again and if I owned a business like this, I would definitely want Tommy working for me.

Acoustics were great. Seat was a little uncomfortable. Ushers were very helpful. Meter monitors WILL get you. Everyone got parking tickets. The meters have to fed every 3 hours. Not going back because of it. I'm pissed. Theater is in the middle of everything. Too bad city is doing this to people spending money there.

Just attended my first show the Royal Oak Music Theatre. The website was informative. Upon arrival the staff was organized, polite and professional. Security entry was a breeze. The bar, though expensive, was organized, efficient and friendly. The show was excellent, sound was great, seating was well set up. I will definitely see another show at the Royal Oak Music Theatre.

The sound was very good. The beers were fairly priced (For a venue). Security was a bit much. But it's a nice smaller place to see live music.
