Haven't been here for a while but I'm so glad I came! It was the perfect location for the genuine and intimate show that Gigi Perez put on. The seating was great - especially for our kids who were able to see everything despite the crowd. So good!

My first ever concert outside the US was right here exactly 2 weeks ago. Certainly a great experience watching the always ready to perform Maren Morris kill the stage and be almost front and center through it all. Have seen her perform in the States and she was incredible there also, but I wasn't up close like I was on this night.

Saw Maisie Peters and it was great, the venue staff were really friendly and professional. My only issue was the bass was up too much for the opening act and the balcony was shaking a bit excessively so I ended up stepping out for a bit due to an anxiety attack but once the bass had seemingly been turned down it was great.

Came here recently to see Oddisee and De La Soul. Was easy enough to get into the venue. I had pre purchased a bar tab with the venue as it saved $25 but due to the gig changing dates their system wouldn’t recognise the bar tab. So had to go out to the box office to get a refund and lose the discount I’d pre purchased. A bit annoying as you think they’d be able to just update the date in their system. Anyway, grabbed some drinks and headed down into the GA area which works as it’s tiered so helps us shorties see over the man mountains that seem to come out of the woodwork for every gig 🤦🏻‍♂️🤷🏻‍♂️🤣. Sound was not bad, a bit bass heavy at times so the lyrics were a bit muffled but could have also been where I was standing. Overall good gig and look forward to catching more gigs here.

Enmore Theatre is one of those places that is what it is, rustic, a bit worn around the edges, but full of character. It’s not a luxury performance hall, but that’s part of the charm. The sloped floor gives great sightlines, the space is easy to move around, bars and bathrooms are accessible, and the atmosphere during a gig is always solid. It’s not pristine, but it delivers exactly what you want for a good night out. Five stars for being true to itself & I'll absolutely continue to attend events there.
