My favorite place for concerts ! Kinda small but definitely has very good vibes. Saw American Authors and Jukebox the Ghost there.

Micah Eberman

I love Turner Hall. The sound is great...big, big, big. It's comfortable , seemingly well managed, the staff are cool, and it's a fantastic intimate (but not TOO intimate ) space. Heavily recommend.

Molly Walsh

This place has such a cool atmosphere, perfect for the awesome shows they put on. The cheap beer is a great perk too!

Charlie G

I love this place. Great venue for stand up comics . Small enough to give it a more personal feel but also has two bars that are usually boasting pretty reasonable deals.

Jason Halverson

Great venue! Staff , prices, restrooms etc. all was top notch. Wasn't sure what to expect, never there before. Go again? You bet!

Michael Davis

Nice beer selection , decent prices for downtown cool atmosphere. A great place to go after Bradley Center events !

Brandon M

Love this place! $9 for a double cocktail doesn't hurt . You'll pay that much (or more)for a watered down single at that dump on 24th and Wisconsin.

atrelz

This ballroom is great for small concerts and community events like Urban Garage Sale. But there's also a climbing wall in the basement , you can sign up to use it!

Rob Dusseau

One of MKE’s most classic music venues . If you can catch a show here do so.

Brandon M

Probably my favorite Milwaukee venue. Not necessarily acoustically superb, but they know how to pour a double, and, it's not The Rave.

VISIT Milwaukee

Never a bad time at Turner Hall. Check out a new band or five. Always a cool time at The Get Down on New Year's Eve. Make sure to stop in before then, though!

Rachel Ritter

Great place to see a show. One of my favorites! Very reasonable drink and food prices.

Donna Morris

I understand social distance ..But you all have us wait outside in cold weather then take our temperature ..Do you think its accurate ?..Not really as we waited outside for over 30 minutes

Steve Crowley

Very cool looking and great sounding venue. Milwaukee has some great theaters , but the intimacy of turner hall is hard to beat for its capacity.

Johnny Marsz

Usually signed acts play here, because the place is huge... but if you're looking for local bands , they have been known to open for the big dogs here.

Great, small concert venue.

Michael Sorenson

Great historic ballroom and building.

William Utke

Great venue for live music . Very historic.

orbaddict

Highly recommend seeing shows here. They usually get bands that play Metro & The Vic in Chicago, but the atmosphere is better.

chris brown

If you're 21+, it doesn't get much cheaper than a $3 PBR Tall Boy! Great beer selection , NOT at concert prices!
