My favourite place in Vancouver to see a show as I'm convinced there isn't a single bad location in the room to see or hear the band. Cheers to the acoustic engineer who helped design this venue.

Anthony Maw

A great historic venue with classy decor , ambiance, acoustics and a wooden dance floor that feels like its gonna cave in underneath you when everybody's hopping!

Rock 101

Best live music venue in Vancouver Period. Smokers: There are no in and out privileges. Also if the back (main) bar is busy, you’d be surprised how fast the Granville and Alley side Bars move. Read more

Noland Bell

Fantastic old-school-style ballroom w/ the bouncy floor (just like the Crystal in PDX) and tiered seating. Views from everywhere and very attentive staff .

Marie La Rue

Historic live music venue . Grab a bit before the show, they also have a bar menu.

Vanessa Tam

One of my favourite venues for concerts ! Well ... besides Fortune of course ;)

A Swiss

Had a blast playing here last night along side the lovely staff making it a simple magic wonderful time :)

Mat Collis

Cool place with lots of history. Load in is a massive pain if you are carrying lots of production though

Trevor L

Best venue in the city . If you like a band and they are playing here, don't miss it!

Across the city , possibly across the country , maybe throughout the world, was a sigh of contentment when the Commodore Ballroom reopened in the latter part of 1998. Read more

The spring dance floor is legend. So are some of the performances that took place here. The Clash played their first North American show here in 1979. More at link below. Read more

Hands down my favorite venue in Vancouver . Once you've seen Gwar here, you'll understand.

Kate Chambers

Best venue in the city . Doesn't matter what the show, always a win. PS there's another ladies bathroom upstairs - never has a line .

Vancouver Sun

Vancouver's Destroyer (a.k.a. New Pornographers' Dan Bejar's other band) plays the Commodore on March 17. He's just released the video for the title track on his new album: http://bit.ly/gglgfT Read more

Go in here early to your favorite band's concert . Save yourself a spot right in front of the stage. Bring a camera and take lots of pictures!

Mindi P

I had no idea they had food here and its fantastic!

Robert Sutherland

If upstairs open, skip the wait & go to the washroom upstairs. Men & women ;-)

Eric M

Pure awesomeness...great sound and hot workers.

The sound here is terrible for electronic shows.

donna m13

last 2 times I was there for a show, broken glass all over dance floor (they let bottles on the floor not plastic cups) Drunks (guys) were assaulting women to get 'up front' Security blew it off
