Great venue. Plenty of food choices, non-alcoholic and alcohol drinks, clean restrooms, and friendly staff added to the awesome experience and fan friendly layout of the place. Watched "In Flames" in concert there. If I am in Phoenix again and a band I follow plays there, I will definitely go back!
Took the wifey and a few friends to see Bishop Briggs at The Van Buren last night and it was absolutely fantastic! If you haven’t been to this venue, I highly recommend that you do. Dimly lit chandeliers and warm wood accents lining the walls and ceiling. The overall tone is just down right pleasing. Only around 1500 people so it feels very much like your own personal concert. As for Ms. Bishop Briggs… ! Saw her live about eight years ago at the Mesa Amphitheater with roughly 5000 attendees. This show at The Van Buren was far superior. Holy hand grenades can this woman put on one helluva show! She’s got more energy than the Energizer Bunny and a voice that shatters the atmosphere! What an amazing night.
My first concert at The Van Buren did not disappoint. I saw 6lack here, and it was an incredible concert. The sound was very good, and the open floor space allows you to be close to the stage. The security also works hard to keep the venue safe and in order. I appreciate the hard-working staff there. I will definitely be back to this concert venue again!
Beautiful inside and the staff was very friendly. I loved how thorough their bag check process is; especially these days, it doesn’t hurt to have so much security. Drinks were reasonably priced. There’s a U-shaped balcony area and restrooms on one side. It was helpful to have Ziggy’s right next door once the show was over. We saw Tinlicker and the sound quality was top-notch.
This is a great small/medium sized venue for concerts. I've seen a number of shows here recently and the sound was very good. They often feature bands that would play larger venues in other cities. I just saw Royal Blood and not long before that Wolfmother. Both shows were excellent and tickets were reasonably priced.
Had a great experience at The Van Buren. My wife and I recently attended a concert at The Van Buren, and I have to say it was one of the best experiences we've had. My wife was limited to a wheelchair due to recent surgeries, the staff went out of their way to accommodate her and the other patrons in wheelchairs. The staff was great, the sound system steller. Everything about The Van Buren is top notch.
Probably the coolest place to see a show in Phoenix. And that's saying something. If your band or artist is here, it means they have arrived but are not stadium worthy, yet. I've never been to it with a lame crowd. Go see a goth show there. You will be rewarded.
My First Experience at The Van Buren was absolutely Amazing!! First, There is Plenty of Parking all around The Venue, Most of it looked to have some kind of security/monitoring. The Venue itself is Wonderful Vibe!! It being General Administration & standing made it so much more personal. There is a V.I.P section Also a upstairs balcony type area to watch the show as well. It was my first time at The Van Burrn but will Definitely NOT be my Last!! If you have never been to a Event at The Van Buren I Highly Recommend the Experience, You won't be disappointed!! Oh.. I saw "Prof" in concert 9/20/2023 LFG Incredible Show
This venue is amazing! Great sound and energy in the room. No lines at the bar or bathrooms, plus a nice little patio if you need some fresh air. I will definitely return!
One of my favorite small venues in Phoenix. Seen some great shows here. The acoustics are perfect and shows always sound great. It's small enough to have an somewhat personal feeling with the bands but big enough to not feel crammed in.
