    The Warner Theatre is a gorgeous old building. A former 1920s movie palace, having long languished in disrepair, was finally reopened in 1992 following extensive restoration.

    Beautiful theatre, seating a little tight though. Dave Chappell show--he was on point as expected, laughed the whole time. Opening act was excellent.

    Always add the Encore lounge package -- it includes parking drink tickets, a separate entrance and a private lounge in the basement. Mike Tyson's show was awesome.

    There is a bar downstairs by the bathrooms that usually has a shorter line than the bars upstairs.

    Great venue with stadium seating to optimize all views. Offer drinks (adult and non) and candy that can be taken into theatre. Re-issued tix to a missed event.

    If you have to drive there, the Warner building has a garage (entrance on 12th). There's a side entrance from the building into the theatre.

    Technically no bad seats, but seats aren't staggered, so your view may well be blocked by anyone not terribly short. Gorgeous theater.

    Красивый театр. Разочаровал гардероб: оказывается сдать пальто платно и стоит денег: 5$ за одну вещь:)
