One of the best venues I've ever been to. Great acoustics with a nice sloping floor that allows everyone to see the stage. Great beer selections at the bar.

Great venue! Wonderful acoustics, your choice of GA/floor or seats for concerts. Friendly and helpful staff. Go early to take advantage of metered parking ($3 vs. $20) have a drink at Garcia's.

Killer place to see a show. Seen The Roots, Dirty Projectors, Regina Spektor and Sleigh Bells so far and each show has been unique and incredible. More people need to come out though! -- The MayorUpvote12Downvote
Alex HunterOctober 12, 2021So happy the Cap is back! Unlike a lot of venues you can see the stage in GA because of the slopped floor. Friendly staff. Easy to get a beer. Old school interior. Garcia’s is cool too!
UpvoteDownvote- MarlonJune 10, 2016Old theater with removed seats which makes for a nice sloped floor with great sight lines in general admission area. Place has character.Upvote2Downvote
- Historic concert venue. Jerry Garcia's favorite. Amazing sound system and great acts. Can see from anywhere in the theatre. Great beers and the attached bar Garcia's is great as well.UpvoteDownvote
Al BunshaftJuly 1, 2013Get there early and have a drink in the bar. The chairs (which are upscale folding chairs) in our row, Row L in orchestra, were tipped forward due to the slope of the floor. Not comfortable.Upvote1Downvote
Justin PacelliJanuary 17, 2014Great venue to see any band. Very clean and updated, beers are a bit on the high side, but overall a great placeUpvote1Downvote
Sam J.April 3, 2013Amazing venue. Great sound, lights, very easy to get around in and very close to the train station. This is a very easy spot to get to from the city.Upvote1Downvote
Cass AndersonOctober 11, 2012Best band calendar of any venue in the tri-state area in the fall/winter of 2012. The venue itself is gorgeous with easily accessible amenities.Upvote8Downvote
If you are going to a show that will likely sell out, you may want to get reserved balcony instead of GA floor. The last few Phil Lesh shows were oversold and super crowded on the floor!UpvoteDownvote
Houlihan LawrenceOctober 1, 2012The Cap is back and better than ever. Easy access off of major highways, 1,835-person capacity and a 6-month renovation has brought this Port Chester theater back to life. The East will rock again!Upvote3Downvote

At the Cap in Oct. 1997, the Rolling Stones and David Bowie put on two, seperate unforgettable shows at the Cap as part of the MTV Live at the 10 Spot concert series. Fabulous!Upvote1Downvote
Incredible venue. Most shows are sparsely attended so it feels more intimate than a show in the city. Loge seats are just plastic chairs on the GA area.Upvote3Downvote
- Karl With A "K"December 28, 2014Such an amazing theater -- intimate but large. And they have bars on both floors.UpvoteDownvote
Cole KennedyDecember 30, 2023Nice theater, but it’s never pleasant taking that return train to Grand Central after a show.UpvoteDownvote
Amazing venue with great sound and a wild light show. A true throwback!UpvoteDownvote
Alana WashingtonJune 8, 2013Download "Appetize" and people will bring drinks to your seats. Equal parts amazing and kiss-of-death.Upvote1Downvote
We HeartJune 1, 2014Walls breathe rock and roll history, feels like a classic British venue.UpvoteDownvote- Great venue. Wish they had food though, besides $2 candy they bought at Costco.Upvote2Downvote
Park in the muni parking behind the Mexican grocery store on the main drag.UpvoteDownvote
Caity PrunkaOctober 11, 2012GA floor seats said SRO, but actually was 25 rows of comfy padded folding chairs with cup-holder arm rests.UpvoteDownvote
- Caity PrunkaOctober 11, 2012Should update the location- the one that is spelled CapitAl has the Warren Haynes show listed tonight. Untruth!Upvote1Downvote

Roger SmithJanuary 27, 2013Applebee's, Buffalo Wild Wings and Panera less than a 5 minute walk away.Upvote1Downvote
Reda WaheedNovember 14, 2013Get there early bc they made us wait 45 on a line around the block in the freezing cold. When we got inside we realized they had enough employees they just didn't know how to use them productively.UpvoteDownvote
Stephen BlakeMay 20, 2013Nice venue, good sound, but the security and management staff is the worst I've ever seen. Is this a Miami club? No fun, no dancing, they even made my friend throw away her birthday cake. No joke.UpvoteDownvote
J LSeptember 20, 2013Feels like we're on a flight at this Willie Nelson concert with all these old people standing up to get their circulation back.UpvoteDownvote
Avi LichtscheinJanuary 25, 2013"I love the acoustics in this theater" -Trey AnastasioUpvote2Downvote
Also, it's "Capitol" not "Capital" theatre. This is a concert venue, not a form of punishment.Upvote4Downvote
Check out the wall paper. Peter Shapiro made it just for the CapUpvote1Downvote
Regardless of what you hear, they do have a liquor license and its not crazy city expensive.UpvoteDownvote
