The Civic Theatre is a really good place to see a concert. There is open floor general admission or two balconies with seating, and two side viewing areas. It’s a really neat layout because there isn’t a bad seat in the place. The acoustics were great and the bands I saw all sounded fantastic. I sat in the back row of the first balcony and felt like I was right there with the band. They had plenty to drink but were no serving any food they may serve food sometimes but it didn’t appear that way. It was pretty tight getting around the lobby area and to the bathroom and bar, but not unbearable. Overall it is kind of bare bones, but to me that was part of the appeal. The seating was roomy, the view and sound were great, so I was alright with it not being really fancy. I have them bookmarked now so I can go back when another good show pops up. I would have rated another star if they served food, I like to eat while I watch a show.
Smaller venue sort of cool, a few balcony seats but most GA pit, standing room. If you aren’t standing by a drunken chucklehead who spills beer on you, might be ok. Overall, we didn’t dig it.
Parking options right out front, easy enough to get into venue, open and spacious foyer, bathrooms easily accessible and marked, bathrooms were super nice aswell, clean, seating was nice and well marked, seats were comfortable, over all good venue!
The theater is really fun. Lighting was good and sound average. I love being able to go upstairs and enjoying the show from the balconies. Bar is beautiful, bathrooms clean. I would suggest making a smoking area that isnt the exit. As someone allergic to smoke, it was a horrible end to a great show having to run down a tunnel of 70 smokers.
Saw The Mavericks perform there recently. Small venue but big on sound. Very nice comfortable atmosphere.
Had an amazing experience very accommodating for my husband that is in a wheelchair would definitely go back ...
Great acoustics for concerts. Seating was comfortable with no obstructed views. Bar was easily accessible.
Beautiful, old theater that can handle crowds both from a security and bar stand point. Definitely can get a bit crowded, but it's nice for the older folks because there's seating on the second level. Pokè-stop if you're still playing Pokemon. Plan ahead with the crowds!
Great venue for concerts! The sound was great, entering and exiting went smoothly, and drink prices are absolutely reasonable. I'll be back.
It was my first time at the civic theater in New Orleans but damn what a show, the venue itself is amazing.. will and would recommend to anyone and I shall return when the show is right!
