I saw the Experience Hendrix Tribute Concert here. Great Venue! Loge Level A row are the best seats. Perfect view of the stage with no obstructions.

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.

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.

Not bad. You weren't allowed to buy more than 2 drinks though which made buying our group rounds a bit tricky
