Jazz and more, this place has got it all!Even featured in the music video Detroit City by Texas showing the exterior.Very comfortable and well presented place.Nothing stops Detroit!Greetings from Sydney, Australia!

First time being here, and I was impressed! I would have given this place a five star rating if it werent for the food, which was a solid 2 out of 5 alone. But the atmosphere, the talent, the love and even the vendors were genuine. I will definitely be back to support! Maybe just eat before I come next time. :)

Great place with a lot of history to see a show! Historic elevators and bathrooms but would definitely recommend it! Not a bad seat in the house even at the very top of the theatre and it still has the theatre box seating too!

Amazing place. Great staff. Always have great shows. The rich history this place holds is truly remarkable. Im surprised its not more popular. The food is impeccable. Shout outs to the Chef Colin. He runs a great team and has a great menu.

The building is beautiful and old. However, the elevators were down and we had to climb a lot of stairs to get to the balcony. There are absolutely no signs helping you to find the balcony and only 1 person who worked here was able to tell us where the balcony stairs are (hint: they are well hidden and no where near the more obvious stairs you can see) ( hint #2 if you find stairs that make you think you are exiting back out to the street then your on the right track)

A lot of good entertainment goes on here. This place is really nice inside and the staff is really nice as well. Whatever you come here for be prepared to have a good time and have some fun

Great sound. Nice atmosphere

This architectural time capsule from days bygone is as comfortable as it is romantic. It takes you back as soon as you step foot into the lobby. When you enter the auditorium, you are taken by the sheer height and depth of the building, and you cant help but stare in admiration. I attended four performances at the Michigan Thespian Festival there, and never wanted to leave. These pictures taken from the 2nd balcony, the highest up.(Edit: Said 3rd balcony, not 2nd; there are only two balconies)

The concert was lit lit... but the workers there were not. How do u have half a row of seats NOT nailed to the floor and the only mKe good u can offer me is a further back seat than what I paid for? Then u tell me I should have escalated the situation when I thought I did. Its not my fault the workers there lied! Next time I will know better

Im a litlle biased because we had front row seats. Acoustics are fabulous. Old world charm in downtown Detroit. Within walking distance of many historical sites.

Great acoustics and clear sight lines. A great night out!

Awesome small venue! Great seating and sound. Brit Floyd was amazing

Detroit landmark for concerts and shows. The Aretha Franklin room is stunning. Saw Guilty Simpson from Slum Village in a small intimate setting.

Mid size theater with good acoustics. The ushers were very helpful, especially with the disabled members of our party. The bar downstairs was convenient and had a nice selection. There is a parking lot right next door, however it fills up fast.

Cute, little place. I love the vibe. Only complaint was there was no toilet paper and 3 broken toilets while we were there which caused long lines, otherwise, I wouldnt mind coming back for another event.

If you ever see Swan Lake advertised for the Music Hall dont waste your time or your money . The stage in this place its too small for Grand performances such a Swan Lake. I recently seen Swan Lake here and was very disappointed. I guess the Russian national ballet does not mean you get a great performance anymore. The decor sucked, the dancers lacked Grace and space to really dance. The decor was very poor and the costumes were mediocre. The music wasnt even loud enough. It really wasnt a waste of money and time. Im used to seeing a ballet on a much bigger stage with Orchestra right underneath the stage. This really really sucked and did not deserve half the money we paid.

The Russian Ballet was amazing. My daughter and I had mother/daughter night. She loved it and the seating was very comfortable.

Very nice theater and what a great addition this piece of art will make to the building.

We were her four the electric Christmas show. The show was great and this is such a cool historic venue. We plan to go back to catch jazz sometime soon.

Aretha Franklin Jazz Cafe A Must Visit. Foxxy Gwens Day Wednesday is the new Saturday!

I love this venue. The theatre is beautiful and the acoustics are great. I look forward to the next show here.

Great place in downtown Detroit to see a show. Leave early as parking and inner-city traffic can be challenging. Old-school and intimate with a good deal of history. I saw the young piano prodigy, Ethan Bortnick, there recently and it really was a fun show. Nice little bar inside and you can take your drink to your seat. Im giving 4 stars and not 5 because the bathrooms were leaking. Cmon, guys, get it together. Otherwise, a wonderful slice of Detroit musical history you must experience.

Excellent entertainment venue. Moderate size very good sight lines to the stage. Saw the Broadway touring company Jersey Boys. Excellent show. Really enjoyed the production. Three bars available for beverages and snacks. Theres a restaurant and jazz cafe on the lower level.

Very pretty inside. The only drawback is the stairs you have to climb just to get to the main floor. I was lucky enough to get free street parking but there is a $5 lot very close.

I really feel like this music hall needs new carpet throughout the building, the carpet is hidious, it needs a brighter color to match the immaculate ceiling. and it needs some minor renovations to revive the hall

Absolutely beautiful. If you buy tickets for here, spend the extra money for floor seats because the balcony seats while good for viewing are terrifyingly steep (and Im not afraid of heights), especially if you are older. 2 ushers had to help an older gentleman with a cane because the stairs were so steep and the aisles are so thin.

Not a bad seat in the place. Seets are a little cramped. Acoustics were amazing!

We had a very nice time at Brit Floyd concert. Nice venue. Other then their restrooms being small, and far down in the bowels of the place. Easy off and on the freeway. Parking was not a problem, plenty of reasonable priced parking available. Nice jazz cafe located inside. Would go back here again.

Really beautiful building and good accoustics for the play that we attended. The womans bathroom is too small. I wish the cafe had a menu with prices that was posted to be easily read.

Enjoyed the entertainment SHOW which was a surprise shocker for me cause I wanted to attend the SHOW which it was a early Christmas Gifts.

Excellent my friends

Condito and Cherry duet excellent job and atmosphere.

Its historic, but it needs some updates, and repairs. The concert I was there to see was great.

While enjoying the play Jitney we watched a guy in the front row answer his phone and have a full conversation. No consideration for other audience members or the amazing actors on stage. Complete lack of respect.

Always great music. Food is good and wait staff is friendly. Might be a good idea to arrive early if youre going to the Jazz Cafe because its much smaller than the Music Hall.

Great show, good place. Careful with parking prices, had a few people pay online for more than double what the normal rate would be.

If I could give you -1 star I would. Please tell me how on the night of a sold out show would you hire an incompetent staff to seat your guest??? I mean who does that??? Your ushers didnt know where the seats were at, then when they seated us we had to move. Then halfway through the show we had to move to the back which i feel where the wrong seats. We brought our tickets right there from the box office.... I dont even want to get started in how awful the bathrooms are. HORRIBLE,HORRIBLE

Will Cyprians show. Good performance and atmosphere. Food and drinks excellent and great service!!!!

Such an amazing show! My son ABSOLUTELY love bed Moon Mouse!!!️️️

Awesome venue. Historic. Quaint. Beautiful. Reminds you of the days gone by. Amazing architecture and nostalgic atmosphere. If there is a show you might like to see this will add that extra something to make it special

August Wilsons Jitney was GREAT, Mason did an introduction.

The play Jitney was Good and pretty funny the cast and the props were Out Standing you should check it out!!!

No matter where you are you can see the stage not having to move your head around to see over someone else the seating is great Now the seat themselves are a little tight and close to the next person....

The lower level is small but nice and cozy for smooth night out

The Aretha Franklin Cafe is a small and quaint cafe. The performances were great. I gave two stars because the waitress only waited on certain people. My husband and I did not feel the staff was welcoming. We were invited by one of the performers . And an eighteen percent tax was charged to our bill (A party of two).

Great place with a lot of history to see a show! Historic elevators and bathrooms but would definitely recommend it! Not a bad seat in the house even at the very top of the theatre and it still has the theatre box seating too!

Talk about being very tightly seated, I couldnt even move my arms to open my program up. It is a nice play thoughand the bathrooms are clean, but this place literally will have you feeling claustrophobic.

Loved the atmosphere! Wings are in point! Music by Derrick Benford Quartet was absolutely off the hook! Also saw Ron English the week before....awesome from beginning to the end. If you love Jazz and good food...Go! Arethas Jazz Cafe highly recommended.

I love the play the Jungle Book it was really great.

I enjoy going to the Music Hall; however, it is not a good location to host a large party.

Historic theatre. Nice view of stage from mezzanine

Beautiful historic theater. Small and intimate. 5 stars if they only had better dispay of row numbers, and or folks to seat you. Otherwise lovely for up close and personal entertainment.

Went to the rooftop club for a day party had a great time with friends. Views were lovely. A bit overcrowded and drinks seemed to be watered down a bit and as to be expected overpriced. Had titos with water nine dollars totally not worth it. Not to mention not a single black bartender. Disheartening. Bathroom unkept and gross.

Love this place been here several times for different events

Ive been coming to the music Hall for about a decade now! Some of my best events have been here. Ill continue to go to this place and recommended as a location to have events.

Great Concert - Marion Meadows & incognito w/Maysa

I went to the museum that upstairs. It covered the past 90 years of its existence. Pictures of performances and the artists. There was a movie in cinimascope of the roller coaster at Cony island, the cyclone. The whole experience was terrific and well worth seeing. There is no admission fee to enter.

The acoustics are great at Music Hall, but the ushers were totally useless. They had NO CLUE as to who was supposed to sit where. There was a seating conflict in our area, and we missed a half- hours worth of the music we went to see while they tried unsuccessfully to get people in their right seats. If youre going to use volunteers as ushers, at least do some minimal training. There was NO WAY the usher in our area had ANY training at all.

Charming building, but very poorly run. Doors werent opened until 15 minutes before curtain. A very long line had formed( in the rain) by that time. Needless to say it took quite a while to get everyone seated. Ushers need better training in seat layout, as it took 3 tries before we were taken to the right seats. Even after delaying the start of the show by 15 minutes, people were still being seated for an additional 15 minutes after the start. The noise made it impossible to hear the performers. Please train your staff better and allow a reasonable amount if time for people to get settled in and make use of the concessions.

It was a great place to see a event.

100th anniversary season. Beethovens 5th. Amazing experience!

Saw Danny Clay Tribute to Luther Vandross. Wonderful concert for my Birthday. Was entertained tremendously. Will visit this intimate setting again.

Had a great time, great seats & workers were very hepful. Really appreciated who ztore was adjusted due to bad weather to allow patrons to see entire performance.

Awesome Stage, Props, Actors, Arethas Cafe, Venue and Performances

The start of my Birthday Celebration! Marion Meadows & Incognito with Maysa, Awesome Sauce!

Absolutely beautiful architecture!! The decor inside is like walking back in history. Stunning!!!

Loved it went to Dr.Sabrina birthday party.

First time being here today with the kids seeing jungle book I most definitely will be back

The venue was very good!! We enjoyed good comedians. The only problem was people not coming on time and the seats are quite small. But, this place is historic!! so back in the day of course people were a lot smaller. However, if people came on time to The Venue it wouldnt make it so difficult and you wouldnt have to keep getting up out of your seat to let someone else into sit down in such a tight space. Which in turn is just a respect thing

Terrific performance (Robert Hurst Trio), great food, caring staff!

Had a great time.. friendly staff pricey little drinks... thanks Wanda for the laughs.

Not much in terms of pre-show seating or options. Also, not handicapped friendly at all.

My Son preformed here...I love the staff...I will go just for them Bartender was Awesome!

Attended a church service (Pastor Andre Butler), extremely uplifting.

What a great venue. Great staff, wonderful acoustics, not a bad seat anywhere, excellent parking. Loved it.

Beautiful venue for a show. Staff was very helpful and welcoming to the crowd. Lots of parking close by. We saw Wanda Sykes and it was a fantastic performance in a perfect sized venue.

This beautiful venue offers excellent acoustics in a classic concert hall. It really deserves 5 stars for the facility and 2 stars for the management. During the Gregory Porter concert (on January 29, 2017), members of the audience who entered late (as late as 56 minutes after the start of the concert) were not held back. They were allowed by the ushers to congregate and banter loudly in the aisles. There was much commotion, making it difficult to enjoy the music. Why cant the Music Hall deny seating until intermission for late arriving members of the audience? The lack of decent guest management is truly detrimental, and will prevent me from attending concerts here in the future.

Fantastic Concert, Awesome Atmosphere and Excellent Customer Service!!

Historic building with extras, like restaurant. They just took a long time to start seating audience.

What a fabulous venue! Such an historic place. We had a wonderful time watching the Russian Ballet.

Great cafe....nice wings and potato skins

Worship Services were Phenomenal. Bro Bullock gave a good word.

Its a very welcoming and very beautiful place

Venue size is great. But the seats are so cramped together. You have no room. If someone in your row wanted to get out everyone had to get up and move out of the row for them to do so.

First time inside the Jazz Cafe and I absolutely loved it!! Because I got a opportunity to see up close and in personal a phenomenal artist Anthony David performs hit top hits. Plus Detroit own Ideeyah Jam the opening!!! The bathroom was funkier than the set thoBut overall I enjoyed my time.

The architecture takes you back to the feeling of a different time. The staff were all very helpful and friendly. Very much recommended.

We went for the 5th floor archives tour, there was 90 years of carefully curated Music Hall history both video and many artifacts. There was even a simulated make up desk with pictures of Diana Ross, Aretha Franklin and Billie Holiday. The exhibit was free and we truly enjoyed it.

Nice, only problem I had was the tables are to small.

Omg such a lovely place for A date

Always a pleasure visiting the music hall. The stage is black and I noticed it could have been more cleaner it looked dusty to me under the bright lights beaming on it.

I love the Word of God every Sunday at FX CHURCH

Not as pristine as the fox but more leg room . Plus the elevator is a good touch

Beautiful Theater !!! Spectacular Shows !!!!! Amazing View from the Roof Top Terrace & Bar, Overlooking Downtown Detroit!!! I also found, the Stage Crew to be extremely knowledgeable & helpful.....A Historical & Architectural Masterpiece !!!!

The upstairs 350 Lounge was dirty with holes in the cushions, not only that but when it time to close, they made you walk 6 flights down the stairs stating the elevators were broke which was a lie. NEVER AGAIN.

I had a wonderful performance tonight at Aretha Franklins Jazz Cafe located in the Music Hall.

Eclectic mix of shows in a classy old-school theatre. Also on the premises, Arethas Jazz Cafe brings top-shelf jazz & R&B alongside a groovy bar. Check it out Detroit!

Went to XFaith church, Founder Pastor Andre Butler.... Totally awesome.....

Awesome caustic sounds there and the service was great. Britt Floyd was awesome too see live in the Music Hall.

Historic venue. Needs updating. But still great.

The play Redemption of A Dogg, was awesome. I love the Music Hall for playsand concerts. There is not a bad seat in the house.
