Eddie

Such an awesome place and all around fun place to go to go to all different venues (music ) I saw Bryan Adams here and he was great and the sound and seating chat is great as well .

David Lynch

This is such a great venue with great acoustics and has been wonderfully renovated. A good mix of beers and cocktails are served and all servers take CC as payment including the souvenir stand

Shows at the Beacon tend to cater to the older set and the marriage of classic rock and old world Art Deco design make for an unforgettable show. Read more

This is an absolutely gorgeous theatre . The lower balcony , front row is ideal for low budget tickets with an amazing view . There are no elevators but there are bathrooms upstairs.

BuzzFeed

The Beacon was home to the Tony Awards, and their line-up is a good mix of “your parents music that you actually like” and “your music that your parents actually like”, which is definitely good thing. Read more

Great place to see shows in NYC, there is a bar on main floor as well as lower lvl near bathrooms . Steer clear of Orch rows ~ P-T on right

JD Malone

Acoustics are wonderful and since the remodel many of the issues with the place have stopped. It's a beautiful historic theatre and has a long history of talented performers .

New York Habitat

A historic theatre perfect for everything from a comedy show to musical acts. It's small and broken up into 3 levels so there's not really a bad seat in the house. Seeing a concert here is a must!

James John (Jay) Cudney IV

Great venue. Fire safety issue to funnel all people out one exit, keep rest closed, and security personnel force you thru the main hall while people are stopped to use restrooms and buy merchandise.

Carl Griffin

Best acoustics of any theatre in New York. This is the ultimate place to enjoy a theatre performance .

Cindy Ol

Gorgeous redone theater - great venue for music

Stacy Jolly

Beautiful venue , one of my favorites in the city . I recommend the front two rows of the LOGE section for the best views & sounds.

Colby Black

If I'm even 30 percent interested in a show here, I'll go just because I love the room so much and know the artists will give it their best.

Lauren Nathaniel

Beautiful venue , one of my favorites in the city . I recommend the front two rows of the LOGE section for the best views & sounds.

Steve Rose

Awesome historic place to see a show. Not a bad seat in the house, though some are certainly better than others...

The Corcoran Group

One of the best places in the city to catch a live performance . Fantastic old-time, authentic New York venue to see a band, with what feels like the original, upholstered seating.

Will Johnson

you can also catch some of the chitlin circuit plays that hit this theater . Tyler Perry's stuff (I know), began playing on this circuit and many were at The Beacon. The Hotel is another great pla

Carolina Ribeiro

Great place to see your favorite bands. This is a seating theatre so it can be annoying if you're seating next to a less than nice person.

Norman Ellis

Great place to see a concert . My fav spot is Row A of the 1st Mezz but really any seat is great. .

summer daidone

Great place in New York to see a concert . A lot of seating but still feels very intimate . The interior architecture is beautiful.

Allison Kasic

Outstanding sound. No bathrooms on the main level, so go down or up to find one.

Thomas Malenich

Ive seen so many great artists here. Its very comfortable ... Not too big but big enough to attract some top names.

Tom Halleran

Great venue! Watch the parking garage around the block - cost was around $64 and it took over an hour to request our car, pay, and get it delivered to us.

Nicole Serratore

If you are seated on front of far house left you may be distracted by people coming and going from backstage door.

Ethan Fixell

Pre-game before you arrive. Drinks are exorbitantly priced! But the sound quality is worth the price of the ticket.

The New Yorker Manager

"About 40 years ago, the Texas trio ZZ Top... built a rock-and-roll machine that is still tearing up the road , long gray beards whipping in the wind." Catch them here tonight: Read more

Jill Lawson

Beautiful theater . Great sound. Don't be the person that tries to get everyone to dance . It's not gonna happen.

Compass

Classic rockers like the Allman Brothers Band and Radiohead take the stage at the former vaudeville house turned concert venue on Broadway.

Emily Kane

Sold out show? Intermission? You're a female that has to use the bathroom ? Head towards the lower level to save time. They herd people in and out pretty efficiently.

Duncan PJ

Absolutely stunning room with great sound to see a show

Nash Pleasant

Saw nickel creek and the mule New Years show here. Awesome venue with a lot of history

Amanda Nanawa

This is one of the best theaters around NYC. Awesome acoustics . A seated venue but the seats seem ancient. The foyer is really amazing.

L. T.

Fantastic theatre . Great staff . Clean bathrooms . A great view from most seats.

Shari Williams

Very elegant building. Concert I went to was awesome and the sound quality was exquisite.

Brett Wells

A beautifully restored 1920's movie house. Plenty of great places to eat/drink in the area for before/after the concert .

Sara Y

One of the greatest concert venues in New York!

ZenFoodster

Bryan Ferry - Roxy Music!Never again sitting in upper balcony back section where there's barely A/C- it's hot as hell!

Raj Sarma

This is a beautiful venue for sure, but if you're sitting in the balcony , expect subpar sound as the reverb is intolerable.

Ashley Rose

Gorgeous space with great acoustics

Ryan Gallagher

Old theater with great aesthetic but don't like the chairs for a concert .

Derek Langdon

Beautiful historic facility to watch a show. Seen Jerry Seinfeld and was great.

Scott Earley

The venue staff was very nice and helpful, be nice to them, and they'll treat you right.

Melody Miller

Intimate venue. Easy access to mass transit express train from Times Square.

SeatGeek

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!

Natalie K

Went to see Seinfeld stand up. Ushers are so disrespectful & loud when seating latecomers. The first 20 mins if the show you couldn't hear anything over their walkie talkies/babbling
