I went to the Englert Theater to participate in a fundraiser for Girls On The Run annual Luna Fest & watch some great films made by women for women. The event was awesome & the films were very inspiring, moving me to tears & joy in some cases. It was a great venue for the film festival, silent auction, and treats. They also had 2 bars for ordering beer or wine.

So awesome to see the great reviews and comments about the theater. My family owned and operated it among others in Iowa City for years. So happy to see how it is being operated now.

We just had our wedding ceremony here, and it was amazing! The theater is beautiful and they did a great job making the place look perfect. The staff was super organized and helpful in making sure our day was amazing and on schedule. I could not have asked for a better experience.

A really nice theater in the heart of Iowa City. Staff is really corteous. Great artists, speakers and musicians/bands have been on that stage. Visit sometime if you havent been there yet.

Always love catching a show at the Englert, a great Iowa City treasure. Not a bad seat in the house IMO, very friendly staff, and they host a good mix of entertainment. So glad the Englert was saved. If you havent caught a show there yet, I think its about time.

Had a great time here. The theater is beautiful and instantly you get the feel of magic here. Its very intimate and Iowa City has a hidden gem right in the heart of their city. Look forward to coming again. Very friendly staff! Thanks for being so wonderful.

Great venue! Easy to get too, awesome food close by and coffee next door for after the show! Cant wait to come back!

Sometimes I buy a ticket late and think my seat is gonna be so so, but then I remember, every seat is a good seat. I saw Nick Lowe tonight, with the Los Lonely Boys backing. What the hell, man? This might have been one of the best shows Ive ever seen. And I have seen a lot of shows. Oh, and the staff is awesome too. Thank you. I had a really good time.

Amazing acoustics, not to mention a super attentive staff!

This historic theatre is one of Iowas treasures. The staff was beyond professional and helpful. Chapo was amazing loved the show. Oh yeah, the smoke detectors are very sensitive apparently even vaping can be detected we were told so dont be that guy. Solidarity forever, much love, #Bernie2020!

Great place to hear a show. No seat is a bad seat in this theater.

Great venue! I have seen concerts and silent films here. Love the atmosphere! Cant wait to see how they continue to improve the facility.

The folks and I went to the Rocky Horror Picture Show, the cast did an amazing job. I had a great time.

After seeing St Paul and the Broken Bones at the Englert Theatre, it quickly become my go to spot to catch a concert in Iowa City! The staff is so helpful and friendly and the attention to detail is like nothing else Ive experienced. Cant wait to go back and see another show!

Great venue. Always clean and a great mix of acts.

Best venue in the midwest! The englert brings world class acts that usually stay on the coast to our area in a historic theater.

Nick Lowe and the Los Straitjackets as backup was fun. I took my wife for her birthday and she had the time of her life!!! The Englert theater is a really wonderful venue for great entertainment.

I love this place, particularly the balcony seats. Ive seen music and spoken shows here and the sound is always good. A great place to go for an evening out.

Fun, old theater with comfy seats, simple refreshments, and it is easy to park nearby.

Dont know about the place itself, the show (a capella competition) was out of this world!

Great time with the family. We love this old theater. Been going to this place for many years. I have seen it change over the years. Aprox 26 years ago I went to a nightmare before Christmas at this theater. And Tonight I took the kids to see santa and some local talent.

This theater is located in the heart of downtown Iowa City. I love to make a day of going downtown with shopping, than dinner, and a show at the Englert. This historic theatre hosts lots of live music, some films, and comedy. I also love that the theater participants in lots of great community events includuing being a regular stop on the Iowa City Gallery Walk and the Downtown Elf Hunt which is popular with kids each holiday season. They host the Nutcracker Ballet each Christmas as well.

Good experience. I think their box office line area could be improved; it made it hard to get into the theatre with the setup. Overall I enjoyed it. All the workers are volunteers. They keep the theatre clean and are helpful. Although most seats are on the main level, its set up on a slight incline so you can see without issue.

This is my favorite place to see a show in the Corridor, for so many reasons. Go here and you wont be sorry.

Really enjoyed the Family Folk Machine concert held at the Englert. Such a beautiful venue!

The Englert brings in a lot of different shows and guest, from music to comedy, plays and ballet. Its great having this right downtown.

Such a treasure to have this wonderful venue in Iowa City

Love having seating at a great concert. The seating in the back has some extra leg room, if you know anyone that has disability from sitting in confined areas. My girlfriend needed that to be comfortable, after healing through two knee surgeries.

Marc Broussard was amazing ! The theater is a great venue....

Really special place with a super cool line up.

Great show.nice theater with a warm feeling. I havent laughed that much in a long time. Great comedy show.

Saw Six Appeal here. Cool old stadium, comfortable seats and the sound was amazing.

You know its a solid venue that is clearly very very well run from a management perspective. Small intimate atmosphere makes it pretty decent you should probably check the alcohol policy before you go into your show because sometimes they close down early.

Saw Preacher (excellent comedian) and thought the venue was great! Seats are sized right for me, comfy. Sound system was great.

Arts n culture baby...nothing better

The Englert is an integral part of the Iowa City community. Beautifully maintained, the building hosts many cultural events that keep the arts alive in the Coen town district.

Beautiful theatre, one of the perls of Iowa City! The service from employees and volunteers is always excellent. Theres big variety of different events that keep people from all fields and backgrounds entertained!

Wonderful, historic theatre with a dedicated volunteer staff and excellent concessions. The calendar is full of incredible talent. Happy to support this organization.

I grew up in IC when this was a movie theater have plenty of childhood memories here.while I think its great they keep it historic we found the seats to be uncomfortable and crowded. The drinks here were expensive $6 for 8 oz plastic cup... Gaelic Storm was a great show!

Very historic. Great performance. Not a bad seat in the house. Also a pleasure to perform there as well. They have dressing rooms and restrooms downstairs back stage.

Date night with spouse to see Gaelic Storm here. A wonderful venue. Lots of character & charm.

Very vintage place and the personal was very helpful and professional

Best Entertainment Venue in town. :)

Englert completes the Iowa City arts scene. Being a townie, I remember it back when it was a movie theater. Now, we enjoy seeing live shows of every genre. This gem is an Iowa City staple that is worthy of donor dollars from around the globe. Thank you, Englert!

Saw the Indigo Girls, cozy and fun, small venue.

Great experience! Beverages are pricey. Love the heart the theater carries.

A wide variety of quality entertainment at reasonable prices. The acoustics are not great. No on-site parking, but its within reasonable walking distance.

Lovely restored old theater. Wide variety of talent booked. Really love this place.

Beautiful venue, helpful and kind staff, and great variety of offerings!

Great venue bringing in great talent. Thank you!

Local historical landmark and a fantastic place to see a live show. Not quite as upscale and fancy as Cedar Rapids Paramount theater but beautiful and host to incredible live music as well as ensembles such as Second City. Wonderful venue, highly recommended.

The concert itself was great, good ticket prices and affordable drinks. The seats were comfortable and it was a fun atmosphere for a show. Only complaint was having to wait in line for the doors to open and then wait again to pick our seats. The seats should be available as soon as you go inside in my opinion.

Great place to enjoy entertainment.

Excellent restored venue hosting a broad range of live events. We love attending events here, the staff and volunteers are always helpful while the restoration brought back to life this classy theatre. The upstairs bar area is handy and offers space to enjoy a drink while not sitting in your seats.

Beautiful venue! I like being able to sit at a concert. They do a lot of things for the community! However, tickets ARE aways overpriced here.

I came to watch a live podcast at this theater. From what I can tell there is not a bad seat in the house.It is a great theater, and I love the history of the building.

Great theatre. I wish they would at least attempt to enforce the no cellphone recording and picture taking rules though - it s really a bummer to have the person next to you or in front of you have their glowing cell phone out, sometimes for several minutes to take video. Enjoy the moment already.

Great place for a show. No bad seats really.

Went to a show here last night. The band that played was fantastic. Did have an issue with the venues policy of allowing people from the audience move from their seats and go stand in front of the first row and aisles, thus blocking the view of the people already sitting there. I spoke to the manager about the issue during the intermission. Was told that if people standing in the aisles remained an issue during the second part of the show that we would be able to move to different seats. When the second part of the show started the issue became worse because even more people came down to the front of the theater and stood in the aisles blocking the view of even more people. Got up and left the show to talk to the manager again. After discussing the issue again was told that this was part of the Iowa City experience. I then kindly said that because of what was happening that I would have to ask for a refund for the tickets that I had purchased. The manager kindly refunded the complete purchase price and apologized for the issue. While I was talking the manager during this time, my wife had gotten up and, by herself, removed a number of people from the aisle who were blocking our view.Since this, I have concerns about another show that I have already purchased tickets for which will be at this venue in a few months. Is the same issue going to happen at this or any future shows at this theater? I pay money for reserved seating so I can watch a performance on the stage, not to watch the Iowa City experience.

The Second City - Its Not You Its Me ...and it was great!!! The theater was easy to navigate with wonderful staff available to help find seats and answer any questions.

Good show. Winterland

I played here in a showcase! It was pretty rad

Ive enjoyed a few shows here, always a great time. Balcony seating still offers a great view and its a pretty venue.

One of my favorite small venues...period!

Beautiful venue for any type of event!

A fun old place for a concert and its located right in the middle of downtown Iowa City so you have a selection of restaurants to choose from. We went to The Airliner for the first time in about 40 years and it was a lot of fun and unchanged.

Great venue for performers! I always enjoy the shows and seating is great, especially for shorter people. The ushers are helpful and the greeters are very polite and friendly! Love going there as often as I can!

Always have a great time here. They do a great job of scheduling amazing talents and the atmosphere of the shows are always fun and lively.

We went to the Nutcracker. Very friendly and clean Englert theater.

Tried ordering tickers online for a comedy show but the system wouldnt let me pick any tickets. My mom tried also and couldnt buy any online. I tried calling the theater and no one answered. We showed up the minute the doors opened to find out somehow the whole place was apparently sold out for 2 seats together. Which is amazing since we couldnt buy tickets online even 2 weeks before the show. Very disappointed.Also very small drink selection

Very courteous and classy.

Old fashioned glamour and comfy seating are the highlights. Good for a wide range of shows

Historic charm, great shows and staff

This is a small but stunning historic venue. Comfortable and very nice acoustics.

Beautiful theater, stage is easily visible. I am however, 55 tall and my knees were literally pressed into the back of the seat in front of me. Not all seating rows were this close, so you may want to choose your seats accordingly.

The best concert place in town. Kamasi Washington almost exploded it with his music and talent.

Been here many times in the last 30+years. Nice venue but theres seats are too narrow

We had issues with ticket handling and the people who work for Englert Theatre were amazing and were able to help us. They were very nice about the situation and very helpful.My friend had some fanart to give to Jacksepticeye for the event and we werent sure where it needed to go. So we asked someone who worked/volunteered for the event and she helped get her artwork to where it needed to be. She was a lovely lady and we were grateful that she helped us out.

The Englert is a historic theater that has been renovated to its former glory, and is owned and managed by a non-profit. Its my favorite place for live music. Theres really not a bad seat in the house, and its a very intimate venue. Buy a ticket & see a show!

Cute theater. We had balcony tickets. We went on a mild summer day and the theater had a noticable musty or damp smell to it. Didnt feel like any AC was used on my night was a little warm by the end of the concert.

The Englert is a lovely downtown Iowa City staple that provides wonderful live entertainment for the community.

Fantastic shows and friendly staff/volunteers!

Grand Ave Raukus,friends,community gathering. Great cause.

Always a great place to see a show. The Englert never disappoints no matter where youre sitting.

I went to the Englert Theatre for the first time last night to see one of my favorite bands, Beach House. The venue was very nice, with easy access to refreshments and bathroom facilities. The place was clean well maintained from what I saw. The only real downside was the security. There was a man, probably in his mid 60s running around the section I was sitting in warning & yelling at points about people using their cellphones. He was so very much more distracting from the entertainment that I was there to enjoy than the kids snapping a quick pick to capture a moment. I can understand the policy being in place for a play or classical performance, but at a rock show with fog machines & bright stage lights, a few folks taking a few pictures should not be an issue. In summary, next time a band I dig is playing the Englert, Ill try to catch them in Omaha.

A superb experience, whether an intimate onstage performance or a sold out dance party. You cant go wrong, and theres often new and unique groups brought in that challenge or expose me to new kinds of music!

The Englert is beautiful two story local theater that hosts various events through out the year. They are a regular venue in many of the towns festivals ( Mission Creek, the Witching hour, Green Gravel...) There isnt a bad seat in the house, it is pretty fantastic.

The nutctacracker show was incredible. Definitely a good place to see a show.

It was a very nice place I went to see a tour and you could clearly see what was happening even if you were in the back

Second City was great. Great crowd too!

Superb venue with a wide variety of acts

We went to a concert by Art Garfunkel -- it was glorious! The Englert is a wonderful theater in the heart of Iowa City. The ushers were very helpful and the doorman was delightful. We always love going to the Englert.

A lovely historic place. Got to a rock concert and the upper level has an art gallery at the bar area. They were exhibiting some stunning photos of pop and punk icons from Blondie to Divine from the film Pink Flamingos.

The show was amazing and the staff was pretty cool but I think the gift u left for the performer might have been stolen but idk if it was or not

Had graduation ceremony there. It worked out well

Great venue for events. Large enough to bring in good shows but small enough to provide an intimate experience.

An Iowa City staple for entertainment for many years! A wide variety of shows play here, theres always going to be something youll like!

Saw neko case.sound was perfect.

Great theater to see a show! Ive been to better theaters but theres nothing bad about this place. I saw the Avett Brothers here about 6-7 years ago and it was an excellent venue for the show.

What a great old theatre! I was on the balcony for Paula Poundstone this past weekend for the first time. Great ushers and other staff! Im 63 and seating had enough leg room! I cant tell you how often places like this where I have to turn my legs to fit!
