Make sure to take in the great interior architecture including the metallic lion stage right of the balconies. I love the seats in this venue, movie theater style!

Love sitting in the front loge. Best views in the house! (Other than backstage, of course.)

One of the best venues to see live music. Also one of the more expensive ones. They don't allow cameras so don't bother bringing one.

Beautiful old theater. Good for smaller bands.

The Beacon began as a movie palace in 1929, and has since hosted artists from the Rolling Stones to Bob Dylan. The Allman Brothers' regular stints here were immortalized on "Peakin' At The Beacon." Read more

Drink beforehand. It may have the gaudy appearance of a cut price theatre but the drinks come at a premium.

Bartenders only allow you to buy 2 drinks per person. Something to keep in mind if you're making a drink run.

It's smaller than I thought. But it is a nice little theater.

One of the most beautiful concert venues in the city!! Make sure to look up at the ceiling.
Zoe CareyApril 9, 2016
Not bad. You weren't allowed to buy more than 2 drinks though which made buying our group rounds a bit tricky
