We visited this theater for a comedy show and loved the venue. I will look for an opportunity to go back for another show.

The stacking-chairs seating is for the birds. But nobody sits down, so it shouldn't matter. Except if you just keep wishing that everybody would sit down so you could enjoy the show. It's a Boulder tradition, so you can forgive a lot--but I'd rather see my favorite groups at a venue where I can see them (and sit comfortably for... More

We drove over to the theater after dinner without knowing what was going on. I went inside and talked to someone who explained that Etown was a radio broadcast and there was live music. Actually, Etown was celebrating it's 21st year on the air. So we stayed. Great bluegrass music and a fun evening. If you have ever listened to/watched... More

Saw Bela Fleck and the Flecktones in concert. Who? If you heard him you would say, "I recognize that." Bela hold the record of having more grammy's in different categories than anyone. Loved Bela! If you want a seat get there early as its general admission and those are in the balcony area and go quickly. The downstairs is standing... More

It's the first time I left during a show. The band was probably excellent (Los Lobos), but we coudn't enjoy the show because of the sound.

Just off Pearl Street Mall, never a problem to park nearby. Acoustics are great and the inside bar is more than satisfactory.

The Boulder Theater is a popular venue for live music, movies and private parties. It's pretty small (about 1,000 for live music). The theater is located a block off the Pearl Street pedestrian mall. Parking is on the street or at nearby garages. This is an old, restored movie theater so some of the facilities reflect that...small bathrooms = long... More

We were invited to go to e-Town radio show broadcast to listen to Elephant Revival one of the musical guests that night. It was incredible. It is a much more intimate event than just going to a regular concert. Checking the bookings it seems that everyone stops here on tour and I'm sure they must enjoy being in this space.... More

Very spacious and art deco in feeling, not super high-in or modernized so most concert going folk will dislike it.
