ᴡ HJensenMay 6, 2016We love this place. We had seats toward the back on the floor this time and they were still great! Better than the nosebleed section.- Elizabeth HallJune 4, 2015Excellent spot to enjoy Broadway shows, ballets, concerts and more! Be sure to enjoy a cocktail during intermission and see if the sunset porch is available for an awesome view!
MetroSeeker.comApril 1, 2012Amazing acoustics. World class facility. Bring plenty of cash, though, because a glass of boring, industrial wine will set you back at least $9!Upvoted Oct 13
Ailie ChangJanuary 28, 2015Get to the theatre early for your show - Skip the valet and park near the exit at the closest parking garage. When you get inside get a cocktail and enjoy it on the balcony watching the sunset :)
It is a great venue for watching plays comfortable and pretty good acoustics.
Ken LainFebruary 7, 2015Not a bad seat in the hall. Photo from 4 floor balcony row L. Could see everything.
VoniaApril 7, 2019Strict Security Policies. Front employees are almost always great. Volunteer Ushers endearing, using elderly trying to swing in the dark! Inside security had one serious bitch. Wish I were down name.- Jan FreemanJanuary 20, 2017Good venue. Not a lot of vendors. Lines are too long. But beer selection was decent. Seating is very comfortable. Acoustics are great.
Austin 360April 3, 2012Touring theater productions, ballet, film, music and more can be seen at the Bass Concert Hall on the University of Texas campus. The flagship theater seats nearly 3,000.
Ladies, make sure to not bring your regular handbag as you must use a clear handbag or bring no bag at all- Excellent spot for a Broadway show. The cafe upstairs has the worst and slowest staff in the world.
John MillerJuly 13, 2016Keep going up the stairs to avoid Lon beverage lines - and when the lights flash it isn't a power outage it means you need to sit down.
Order drinks for intermission before the show starts; you will be set.
Use bathrooms near the library during intermission - shorter lines- MetroSeeker.comAugust 24, 2012Check out the art displayed throughout the venue. Some really wonderful stuff.
Joshua EdwardsJuly 23, 2015Hey Bass Concert Hall, you should join Freebie! The benefits are amazing for both you and me. Read more
SpoonerJuly 11, 2010Long lines at the bar? Try the Members' Lounge; it's not unheard-of for non-members to get in and the selection is the best in the house.
Josh MartinezJanuary 26, 2012Just like at every other venue in Austin , there's a bar on every floor so don't wait in line.
Siobhan KennaFebruary 7, 2015Having a blast at the Rain concert!!!!! Haven't been here at Bass in years, its looking good.
If you are planning on eating at the cafe, try arriving at least an hour and a half in advance
Always look for ian when getting drinks. He's the best bartender.
