One of the most intimate theaters on the east coast! The GA section is absolutely fantastic. Great sound, lots of history in this room. Fabulous music!

If I was selfish, I’d say that this venue is not great. However, sharing with others is important. If you love music, great crowds, respectful staff, and quality sound/lighting, you’ll thoroughly enjoy this venue. It’s outstanding. Plus, you never know who you will meet. It’s an interesting and diverse crowd from all over. I’ve seen 2 of my favorite bands here in the past year (The National and Band of Horses). Love the Cap!!!!

Sick spot for shows. Very fast security and ushers. Would definitely see a show here again!

Not a bad seat in the housè. Good facilities. Nice Garcias bar. ( 4$ for a Snickers bar !!! ) Lighting, sound ànd visuals were excellent. Pàrked at Bar Taco for free anď easy 5 min wàlk to the Capitol.

It was a great venue to watch a concert. The venue was late in letting us all in for the concert. There were a lot of security and they were very thorough in searching everyone but, it seems that we were waiting on the security to get ready for the event and that's what the delay was all about.

Visited the Capitol Theatre for the first time on 9/12/23 to see Ray LaMontagne. There is a parking lot right across the street for $25. We didn't see any other close parking lots. The security staff and all theatre staff were very nice and helpful.
The theatre itself is beautiful. Feels like a cross between a Broadway theatre and the Wellmont Theatre in Montclair, NJ.
There are multiple bars with drinks and snacks that are located on both levels.
The only drawback were the uncomfortable seats. We will definitely return!

I love the Capitol theater. Despite it's compact and tall design, it can host 1,800 people, enough to host high level bands. Even seats in the balcony are close to the stage, making it possible to see the performers with ease. It's cozy, good acoustics, excellent dynamic illumination, easy to get in and out. A large MTA commuter parking makes it easy to park nearby for free, just 5 minutes walk.
Last time I was here in October 2022 Jeff Beck did one of his last (beautiful) concerts here. This time it was ZZTop, another memorable concert of a band close to my heart.
Highly recommended!

Phenomenal historic venue. Spacious seats, reasonably priced drinks. Will be back!

We recently went to a concert at the capitol theatre and had a really good night! Getting in was really quick and easy. The venue itself was small but really pretty. It’s capacity is about 1800 people I think it said so it was definitely a different concert experience. I’ve been to some smaller venues and was pleasantly surprised that my feet didn’t stick to the floor the whole night. The drink pricing was also more reasonable than other venues I’ve been to. They had some food choices such as popcorn and waffles!? I had already eaten so I didn’t get any food. I got a modelo to drink and it was really bad. Usually I like it a lot and this was really sour/bitter tasting. Also something I think is important is that I guess it has some sort of AC in it but it wasn’t very cold inside. It was mid 90s outside so I wasn’t sure if I should wear shorts/pants if the ac was cranked or not. I went with shorts and was so glad I did because I was quite warm inside.

Also, not sure if this was artist preference or theater but they were pretty strict about not recording the show on your phones.

Saw primus here last year and it was pretty awesome. Bathrooms are upstairs. Recently, I saw a podcast taping there and had seats upstairs. Very tight upstairs. You have to get up to let people out of the row. Beer selection is great. Staff was very nice. Smoking section is big, but can pack up at concerts.

This is one of my favorite venues in the three states where I frequent concerts. (I saw the always amazing Styx there, go see them if you have a chance.) The staff is extremely friendly and seem to be proud of this theater that was built in 1926. It is amazingly ornate, beautiful, and well preserved with a full marble staircase going up to the second floor. There is a large bar in the building and smaller bars located upstairs and downstairs. They offer very easy access to all seats and the theater is small enough to make for an intimate experience. Although expensive at $25, there is parking directly across the street and there is a restaurant right beside the entrance the venue. I love it!

The Capitol Theater is an awesome venue with great sound and great seating options. You can sit up in the balcony and get a cool perspective of the band and light show. Or you can be down in GA on the floor, which is fun to dance and mingle. The staff are all very nice and I like how they sell snacks at the bar and at a downstairs booth. I would recommend seeing any show here.
