Nice venue for a concert. Well stocked bar. Clean restrooms. Check-in was easy. Helpful staff. Only complaint was the seating. Very uncomfortable after 150 minutes. But I understand the seating for this venue. No seating for some events, so its folding chairs.

Large venue space, the bass gets overpowering the closer to the stage you get. They are pretty lax when it comes to things like crowd surfing and throwing inflatable Alligators. A performer(Kitten) even climbed into the rafters and dropped down. Paramedics are also very friendly, and staff will do their best to help with any issues you have(ie. Broken glasses).

Went to see Falling in Reverse with Escape the Fate and The World Alive last night and it was a great show! Big enough venue for a good amount of people when sold out but small enough to where you have a good spot in the house no matter where you stand.

I have attended shows and worked booths at them here, and every time is a great one. Good sound, great view from every corner, and security does a great job of handing out water bottles into the crowd. I prefer to uber or get a ride though, because parking is not fun here.

Great venue in Kansas city. Great view from where ever you stand. The sound is really good there too. The staff is great. Free water. Nice bathrooms. Good place for a show. Cant wait to see more shows there

I thought it was a great venue for Blue October tonight. The sound was great all night. People were lined up at the main bar in one long line for one bartender, even though there was another one. After I skipped the line and went over there, I let others know to do the same. Bartenders were friendly, bathroom was clean, overall I enjoyed The Truman. I cant wait to come back and check out whatever is upstairs... Or get closer to the front

Nice place for concerts and also has a bar where you can get some beers or energy drinks or coke. Nice and warm, good location as well, if u wanna park the better is get early cause it’s tricky find a good spot

Today was my first time at The Truman and it is now one of my favorites and it was easy to find and the staff was very friendly. I also noticed the place was very clean including the restrooms! Also security looked on point and professional the whole time, even when the drunks got crazy. Id also like to add that I really like the no smoking indoors rule. It definitely made our experience more enjoyable.

Just saw Periphery and Veil of Maya tonight 2 OCT. Everyone from the staff, to the security to the crowd were absolutely awesome. Minor sound issue in the A list loft but the upstairs bartender and the crew bent over backwards to get it fixed and did an amazing job. Extremely clean venue, very well done by everyone, couldnt have been more happy!

Very good show in a great venue! Clean and nice bar selection. The acoustics were pretty good!

Did you guys know you can rent this place out for a wedding or party? The price is reasonable. This venue is so beautiful and spacious and it was our first time visiting the Truman. My girl and I had a blast checking out the bars inside, seeing the green rooms and also the mezzanine. We explore some more and theres plenty of room for a dance floor and to have your tables for your guests, especially for a wedding party. They have a nice huge stage where you can have a band and also room for the bridge and groom party. I really enjoy this place and they have plenty of bathrooms so you dont have to worry about a line that much. Only con I see is probably parking. It can be a challenge but theres plenty of side parking around the area.Also, this place have like live concerts. I cant wait to check out their concert and review it next time.

Great small venue.... Plenty of room and T least 3 bars in different and accessible points of the venue. Outside cover space for smokers or to just go outside. Love it.

Very clean and organized venue. The bartenders were very nice and were very quick during a rush. The staff was very nice and knowledgeable regarding the event and venue. Limited parking so plan ahead and prepare to walk, but The Truman does accommodate as much as possible for this. I was very impressed and will happily attend more concerts here.

This is one of my favorite concert venues in KC. They have a giant fan to keep it cool, easy to reach bars, super clean and huge bathrooms and I have never felt super overwhelmed or uncomfortable. Plus the bands are always great! I love when one of my favorite bands comes to The Truman!

The sound is pretty solid for being an old tire shop converted to a concert venue. The lighting leaves a bit to be desired but if you love shows with a lot of red/orange lighting this is the spot for you. The venue staff and security are always friendly and helpful - even going so far to turn a blind eye to crowd surfers and moshing despite plenty of signage stating both are not allowed.

My wife and I attended a concert last month. The location is open and welcoming. Very friendly staff. Beverage prices are reasonable. Make sure to arrive early if you plan on using the coat check, they fill those spots quickly in the winter.

Had a blast seeing Trixie Mattel perform! The venue is a giant open area. 3 bars inside. Bathrooms are huge, no waiting Will be attending events there in the future for sure!

Great venue to see and hear your favorite bands. Not too small, not too big. No elaborate decor or fake nostalgia. The bars are functional rather than fancy. Top quality sound and you are never far from the stage. Did I mention the sound is great? Thats my #1 criteria for a live music venue and The Truman has nailed it!

Great place for a love venue. We saw the starting line here and the atmosphere was incredible. The staff was quick and attentive. I was actually shocked to find free coat service too! Seat upgraded for the balcony (great view by the way) were available at a fair price. The sound quality was amazing and there was an great space for the crowd! The little pizza window was also pretty cool to have!

One of my favorite music venues to see shows over and over. If a band/performer Im on the edge about seeing is at the Truman, Im more likely to go and always have a great time. Cool industrial vibe, wide open space, easy access to 4 different bars. Love this place!

Decent venue. Lots of bars, Restrooms are ok. Nice staff. Acoustics could be better.

Awesome event space. Comfortably spacious and clean bathrooms. Thats very important lol. I attended the R&B ONLY Event held there and was very impressed.Now, on the other hand. There should definitely be other options on the floor error besides standing room only. The VIP section can also be improved upon.

This is on of my favorite local concert venues. They have clean bathrooms, plenty of bars, great service, a coat check for cold days, sells earplugs for $1 for those of us trying to save whats left of our hearing. Ive never been to a show here where the temperature was unbearable. They always keep it warm enough in the winter and cool enough in the summer. I am actually more inclined to see a band I was on the fence to see if their show is here because the venue is so welcome and comfortable.

Love that they have a bar by the front row!

Big open concert venue thats clean! Flat concrete floor, long side balcony, moderately high platform for performers that makes them relatively easy to see if theyre standing and/or youre not behind tall people. Not really any seats, with the exception of a handful in the balcony and at the front bar. There are bars at on both sides as well as at the front, and one of them has a cold case if you want to grab a sandwich. Drinks are pricy. If you dont mind not seeing the performer, the music is definitely loud enough to still hear at the front entry area. Restrooms are big and clean. No re-entry upon admission. Be sure to check the list of items not permitted, as youll be checked before entering. Theres a little will-call window just as you enter. Staff have been nice, although sometimes theres confusion/miscommunication about how to handle VIP-types of tickets. This venue has attracted some solid performers and its definitely worth checking out.

Fun place. Opened the doors early to queue up around bar and keep us warm. Did not have to be so accommodating. Security was fun and friendly and huge.

I had a wonderful experience with this venue to see Kim Petras, one of the few music venues Ive been too which let us form a line inside to avoid the cold temperatures. The staff were very nice and it has a good location and fair amount of parking. If I ever found myself in Kansas City again I would absolutely consider seeing a concert here again

For a new venue i expected more. Its very small inside, Is pretty shabby for being brand new they could have remodeled alot better. Its in a very gheto location, and the bartenders seem inexperienced and very light with the alcohols especially for 12$ for a mixed drink. I ordered a double and couldnt even taste the liquor.. i do have to say the only reason i gave them three stars is because the sound quality is pretty amazing, but for the price of everything and how small the venue is, and the lack of service for the price, i probably wont be attending anymore shows here.

Cool homage to Harry Truman. Saw Trombone Shorty and it was rocking. Great acoustics. Very clean and not too stuffy. Bar service good. Few seats available on floor so be prepared. Loved it!

This place always has some great headliners. There is a lot of talking in the back of the venue during the show, but thats not really the venues fault. Get there 30~40 mins before doors open for a good spot.

This venue is awesome! I was at a sold out show and the giant fans overhead kept the place nice and cool. Although the property was at capacity it didnt feel like we were in there like sardines. Also - the bathrooms! They didnt have standing water around the urinals and they didnt stink. They were actually spacious and clean! Ill definitely be coming back here again.

Great sound, decent sightlines which are the most critical parts of a venue.2 gripes:1.) The VIP area has very bright lights that arent on a dimmer, and stay on the whole show. So it feels kinda like youre in an Applebees instead of a concert upstairs.2.) They shut down the bathrooms immediately after the show ended. So you have to choose between enjoying the curtain call, or not peeing your pants on your ride/walk home.

Great venue. Standing room only is the best for concerts, in my opinion! A definite return trip is in the future!

Great venue for concerts and shows. Excellent close parking. Security is on top of their job. They dont let anything slip by. Seriously not a bad view of the stage anywhere. Looking forward to seeing many more shows there.

Whoever runs the establishment is hilarious. I had VIP tickets to a concert here last weekend, and when I came in they were playing Tiptoe Through the Tulips and there were mannequins onstage. Kinda weird, but overall a cool place.

Great Venue. Plenty of space, even when it is full. The staff is friendly and helpful. Lots of bars, so there is never a line for a drink. There is an outdoor smoking patio. Just make sure you dont bring ypur flow toys - they do not allow those.

This is my new favorite venue for a concert. It isn’t so large that you get lost and unable to see the entertainer that you paid to see, but not so small that you feel crammed in as the sake of the venue’s paycheck. Ever time that i have been here I have had an amazing time. The staff are friendly. And there are multiple bars for those trying to drink. There is a chill VIP level upstairs. I recommend this venue!

Great sound system, light show, friendly staff and very cool building. Had a great time at the Grandson concert and got in quick and easy. Would happily see another concert here.

I have visited this venue for multiple shows and every time the venue is extremely organized and all of the staff is on the same page. Security is always nice and helpful. The venue itself is always kept very clean. Definitely my favorite venue in KC!

Unable to go to a show so two friends are buying out tickets. However there’s no option to transfer on the Eventbrite and they say you turned the feature off. You should be able to transfer to one another for f sake. Treat your guests better than this. We won’t be buying anything from the Truman anymore.

Great atmosphere! Sound is superb! They have giant ceiling fans that are awesome when it gets hot inside, best feature ever!! Although it was 1 speed too fast at the Jimmy Eat World concert, dried my eyes out. Definitely a great place for a concert!

Had the best night of my life seeing Drew Gooden and Danny Gonzalez last night! The show was great, and the building was a perfect place to watch the show in. Bathrooms were clean too, so thats definitely a plus!

Just saw Periphery tonight, amazing show! Sound was very crisp, lots of resonant bass but not distorted at all. Bathrooms are plenty spacious and I like that there are 2 bars on either side of the floor.

Place was packed and drinks were imposing to get. Show and beers were affordable and the show was great. Staff was friendly. Probably wont be back.

Great place! Was visiting from STL to see the band The Dead South. Had an incredible time! They even have a coat check!

Great new venue! 1500 capacity. Clean restrooms. Good security. Easily accessible bars. Great sound.

Loved the inside. Offers an intimate space with your favorite band.

Place was fantastic. Concert was great! Would go again!

Well I went to my first show at The Truman and I must say highly impressed, Im disabled and most ADA sections are all the way in the back with no access to get up front for a show, but here at The Truman their ADA section is right on the rail! I will defiantly be back again to see another show!

Great concert venue! The space is pretty much perfect! Friendly staff too!

We had are work Christmas party here...we had a GREAT time! Parking was easy and the bars were totally easy and line free!!!

Truman is perfect for close encounters with your favorite artists or celebs. With moderate squared footage. It offers a perfect setting for total immersive enjoyment for all ages for price you just cant refuse. Located ride by the famous sprint center. Give an event here a chance, you wont regret. I didnt.

Friendly staff! Great performance!

Great addition to the suite of music venues here in KC and a lot of good acts are starting to roll through. I do wish they didnt charge huge venue prices for drinks.

Really nice venue. Bigger than it looks from the outside. Didnt get the upstairs seating. Was all general admission.

This is a great and affordable concert venue! We just went to our 4th show and the balcony seating was phenomenal.

One of my least favorite music venues in town. The floor is flat (but at least the stage is elevated), things rattle in the old building and the box office hours are terrible. But at least the beer selection is good, the talent they get is great and the location offers plenty of free street parking.

Saw Bishop Briggs. Great show. Always love the Truman. Needs more upper level seating though.

Great venue. Lots of street parking. Great sound and space on the inside. I will definitely be back!

This is a venue in an old Machine Shop converted into a Multipurpose Venue. Besides Concerts you can rent this place out for weddings, bah mitzvah and so much more. I visited this place for a concert for my first visit. It was Awesome...! The Intimacy I prefer with small venues was on point. They hold approximately 1,200 Humans. Concerts here are well worth it. I highly recommend you see a show here...!

Awesome venue! Great staff, had a good time here. Very clean and nice restrooms

I love this venue. ️ 2nd time seeing Dr. Dog here and its always a blast seeing them! Let the raaaaaiiiiinnnnn faaaaallllll!

Honestly one of my favorite places to go to shows to. Never seems too overcrowded. Has a warehouse-y feel to it, so dont expect the inside to be like The Midland.

Venue is great for smaller concerts. Multiple bars, friendly staff, and great views from everywhere.

This is a really great venue. I would definitely return to see other shows.

All the staff were as cool as the venue. I liked the industrial feel and the bar out front was well stocked

Good venue to watch a live concert.

I love this venue!! Ive been here twice now. Its casual and intimate.

The Truman and their staff went above and beyond to make sure those who have mobility issues were able to safely attend and also thoroughly enjoy a show. A big shout out to Brianna and her staff - you all were AMAZING. We cant wait to return to The Truman! Thank you!!

The VIP section provides a great view, just be sure to get there early enough to claim a spot by the railing.

Amazing venue! Love going to concerts here.

One of my favorite venues. Just one big rectangle for people to stand. No awkward space. Good views from wherever. Also a balcony. Great bar and good parking. Always go to a show if its here.

The wife and I saw Sir Sly and Joywave here a few weeks ago. The venue was very nice and let the early people form the line inside because it was cold out. The amenities were nice. We only bought water from the bar, but the prices seemed fair. It was pretty intimate and had a nice atmosphere in my opinion. The only real negative I can point out is the sound system. It wasnt nearly as clean or loud as most venues we attend. The bass hit pretty hard, but the vocals were very muddy. To the point you couldnt make out the lyrics. If they upgraded the sound system this would be a truly awesome venue. Parking was easy. The staff was very friendly. If you get there early enough there is free parking on the street just a half a block down.

Saw Dance Gavin Dance live here. Sickest show Ive been to. The bathrooms were pretty clean, and there was plenty of space for people.

Have been to two shows there. Enjoyed the artists however the bartenders mood/personalities in the back were poor and the drink prices were extremely high for two doubles. I will give it another try. I dont see the drink prices changing however mood/personalities of back bar staff I encountered may improve. I have edited this review because I feel 1 * was too harsh for the overall experience.

The Truman carries many indie groups which other places do not normally host. The space is nice but a little limited. The organization seemed at first good as they marked minors in line while waiting for the event to start, but the doors opened almost an hour after the listed time and no information was provided.

Quick bar service. Mediocre sound quality.

Just saw grandson. Security, staff, everyone was kind and wonderful. 10/10 great venue with rail close to the stage.

My daughter really enjoy the concert performance of yungblud real nice place real nice sound she really loved it

Place is great, exits seem a little small for the capacity though

We love this place. They get great bands and the sound is awesome.

A fun mid size venue! Very open, three bars and a coat check!

Please bring more Christian artists to KC!!

The sound quality is terrible, but really what do you expect for a concrete building? They do have a lot of great bands that come through and a great beer selection.

Fun venue cant wait to return for starset

Molly balloons fashion show was the greatest party of all time

Absolute favorite venue. Intimate and fun drinks are great

My first trip to the fairly new event and concert venue went well. The management team is very professional and helpful. They have an outdoor patio and smoking area, several bars, a place to get food, sandwiches and desserts. The venue area is open and not too large so you can get around well and see everything. We ran into several friends at the show which was a nice surprise. It is easy to get around, service was fast and the food was good.

Best place to see a show downtown. Its clean and your feet dont stick to the floor.

I got to meet hobo johnson I love the truman for letting him come :)

Loved the venue. Blue October rocked it

Bartenders lie and bouncers are rude. Venue is fine, but don’t spend any money at the front bar, I was ripped off after the show... I am from out of town and attended a show, having a great experience until I went to the front bar on my way out. I ordered a very expensive round of over priced Tank 7s for my entire crew after validating with the the bartender that we would be able to finish them. This is my typical post show strategy to make a plan with the crew and avoid standing in the freezing cold in sweat soaked light clothing. Only to have the bouncer come through 3 minutes later and demand we throw away our drinks and leave. I tried to reason with them but they didn’t care. Don’t get any drinks here after a show... go somewhere else.

Wood Brothers Awesome.

Nice venue! We saw Trampled by Turtles last night. It was nice to have security - they checked everyone for weapons before entering and monitored throughout the event. It was nice to know we were safe while enjoying the performance!

Great venue! I love shows here!

Cool space for concerts. They should allow the upstairs to be open to all though. We had our 6 year old daughter with us and well it;s hard for someone that short to see a show. Other than that we always have a good time there.

Great venue with an awesome selection of artists lately! I saw the Breeders there and it was a great show! Nice bathroom set-up and multiple bars! Could use more fan/AC action on a hot night, but they just didn’t have them going high enough. Could use more seating for those of us who want to just chill.

Such a great time every event. Staff is straight forward and the venue is ran by professionals. Sound quality is always great.

Good venue although when buying tickets they need to make sure to make it clean when purchasing the upgrade it does not include ticket and you have to buy both separate.

Great venue to see a concert. Pretty much standing room only but you can see from everywhere. Parking can be an issue if there are other events happening downtown.
