Excellent staff as always, great venue. Looking forward for this black plague to be over and get to watch some live concerts here!!!

Always a fun time at The Uptown, especially with The MGDs and Freedom Affair️

I love The Uptown! Ive seen everyone from The Killers to Babymetal to The Decemberists to The Flaming Lips. Gorgeous old building with beautiful facades and Frescos. Great lighting, great sound system, great location. Two bars located at either end of the venue. Multiple entrances into the auditorium with both built in seating and standing room for General Admission areas. Parking can be a pain during a sell out, but as of Sept 2019 adjacent lot to the north is being renovated and will hopefully solve that problem.

I would like to thank Uptown Theater For the opportunities they give Us to put on Our Concerts / events .Much love And RespectWe’ve Been At It Now, Since 2014 ♟building bridges entertainment lncPlushlifebeautylounge #FOE

I’ve been to a couple of concerts at the Uptown, and I like the venue for the most part. The sound system is hit and miss, so I never know what to expect. I’ve done GA standing, and seating in the balcony and the back of the building on the first level. I don’t have a preference! — I noticed a heavy police presence at a rap concert I attended in January 2017, and I didn’t really like that.

I love this place for concerts. Its so much more intimate than normal shows. Love the old feel. They also sell good beer, which is a major plus. Couple of drawbacks are the parking situation (there is none) and that they will oversell a show and you could end up in a hallway. If at all possible, get there early for a great spot on the floor and dont give it up. Itll be worth it.

I have been to Uptown plenty of times for some bigger name concerts, but yesterday was my first time at their small Encore venue next door! It was very intimate, but just what you want for seeing smaller bands. The bar was super accessible so you didn’t miss the music and the prices were very reasonable. It reminded me a lot of what recordBar is like! Would definitely go again!

Ive been here twice, one for MGMT and another time for Fitz and the Tantrums. Both ocassions staff was supper friendly and efficient. Not to mention the great quality of the venue to host concerts.

Rob Thomas put on one the greatest shows Ive seen in a long long long time. The uptown is a small cozy and comfortable place to see any show. Not a bad seat in the house. Thank you UPTOWN for bringing Rob to town.

Terrific live venue. Very ornate. One of K.C.s best.(Rodrigo y Gabriela - 11/20/19)

I love this venue. Smallish and quaint. Every seat is a great seat. All the staff are friendly and helpful. Parking can be a problem so arrive early!

Amazed to see the show at such an intimate venue. I couldnt have asked for a better place to see them perform. Large venues steal the experience, this place was perfect!

Loved the concert I attended, but too crowded for my liking. It was a sold out show so bound to happen, but wish there was more space and seating.. if I could do it again I would get seats a bit back from stage. Also, prepare to pay for drinks if you choose to buy at the concert. Lastly, staff was really helpful and friendly though!

I loved this venue. Not only is it so beautiful inside, but the Acoustics were also great. I dont know if it was because we were going to a fundraising concert, but they provided free parking outside of the venue, which is something you rarely see.

The Greeting Committee was amazing at this venue. Cool place for a great time.

Great venue to see a show. Tonight Rodrigo y Gabriella. Amazing talent. Fabulous show.

Great historical theater. One of the first smellavision theaters in the USA. Built back in the early 1900s. Really neat venue.

Saw NF on “The Search” tour there recently. I love Uptown, the vibe is great. I’ve never had a problem with staff and security is always efficient when shuffling people into the venue. The venue has some floor seating and balcony seating as well but it is mostly general admission and everyone can stand up and move around in the main parts. It’s decorated very uniquely and they always put on a great show.

We saw Wynonna Judd and Tanya Tucker and the show was great. It felt close and personal. The sound was top drawer. And both living legends did not disappoint. The Uptown Theater was well staffed. Friendly service. And plenty of parking. The garage was under some construction, but parking was easy, free, and accessible. I would definitely return to see another show at the Uptown Theater.

Very cool venue! Bar in back is very chic with a broad drink selection. Set up well as far as traffic and parking even during large concerts. Inside of the venue is easy to navigate. There is seating in the back of general admission and an elevated seating option i believe. General admission floor slanted towards stage, and there are awesome acoustics. Also close to some other really cool places in town.

The Uptown is an iconic spot in the heart of KC. Been to many shows and events there over the years and I have never been disappointed. The architecture is so neat and the acoustics are phenomenal. If you havent yet been, you are definitely missing out on one of the best venues in the city.

Beautiful.. Great acoustics and wonderful staff, even while taking temperature, directing traffic and greeting they were very professional

Ive seen tons of shows here and Ive always enjoyed my time. Parking has been difficult before but has been easy too. It usually isnt expensive to see shows their either. They usually haveGA tickets that get you close on the floor. If you never been here, I recommend it.

Getting out of the venue wasnt as easy as getting in- the funnel of people was hard to navigate. But, I enjoyed Uptown! It was my first time there and my first time seeing Bastille. All in all, it was a great experience! Sidenote: did not appreciate the amount of weed that I was smelling from the GA standing room, but its not like they can search people for that.

Best concert Ive ever been to! Life changing!!

So cold. Apparently there is no heat in the building. We went for a concert and had to leave after a little over an hour because we were so cold. The building is beautiful.

The hubby and I have been to Uptown Theater twice now since moving back to the KC metro area in June 2019. This gem of a retro theater is a wonderful asset to the community!Our first visit was for a Logan Mize/Jill Martin concert. Logan and Jill are from areas near where I grew up so we had to support the hometown kids! Uptown Theater was a great venue for this type of concert. Tickets for this event were general admission only so you were able to choose to sit or stand throughout the concert. Obviously to be right up front nearest the stage one had to stand the entire time or risk losing their spot.Our second visit to Uptown Theater was to attend “Thundergong 2019”, our first time at this charity event. What a fantastic evening!! Tickets for THIS event were a choice between assigned seats or GA. We chose assigned seats but by the end of the evening had moved to stand in the GA area....even got fairly close to the stage at one point.So about Uptown Theater specifically.....I do not profess to be an expert in regards to this venue. It has obviously been around multiple decades given its architectural style and the visible “wear-and-tear”. While the wear-and-tear certainly adds to the charm, I caution the owners against allowing it to continue to deteriorate too much. I wouldn’t want to see a complete overhaul nor change to the design, perhaps just a freshening up however. ::insert polite, pleading look here::Both times the staff were friendly, the second time the female bartender who served us at the beginning of the evening was particularly kind and patient with my indecisive self.Oh, and a better explanation on their website of the parking situation and suggestions would be VERY MUCH appreciated!!!! (4 for emphasis)

Friendly start, comfy seats, beautiful interior! Sound quality was amazing! We will definitely be returning!

Not rating the artist, but the venue:1. Absolutely amazing place with fast security and speedy check in.2. A/c seemed either not working or just turned off because it was one of the hottest venues ever been to. At one point they had to throw water bottles into the croud.3. Water/bathrooms were closed off after concert, everyone was pushed out of those areas which is expected but not being allowed to get a small sip of water after a hot 4 hours of jamming, standing and sweating seems unreasonable

Saw George Thorogood. Sound was great! Oh, and so was he!.

This was my first time going to Comedy City so I didnt know what to expect. Its located in the same building as The Uptown Theater. Up a few flight of stairs and its tucked away in a cozy suite with tables and chairs and a bar. I didnt see seating up at the bar, but the server comes to your table before the show to get you started on food and drinks. The menu is limited to snacks such as popcorn, hot dogs and chips. As far as beverages, they have soda, bottled beer, wine and mixed drinks. The server was attentive throughout the show and soda refills are free. The popcorn is freshly popped and served in a large portion. Definitely count on sharing! Since the space is smaller than I would think for a place to hold a performance, the stage is close to the audience but it makes it fun and easy for the performers to engage the audience for participation. The improv performance was done well by people who love what they do, and it shows! Their personalities drew the crowd in and made you feel as though they were old friends who came to visit and make you laugh. Its an all ages show which makes it a nice family activity but they do have performances late at night for 18 and older on certain Saturdays of the month if you wish to do that with your friends. My son and I had a fun time and will definitely go back again. Thank you Comedy City!

Ive been coming here for years and glad that this venue is still around and seems to be up kept nice. Really cool details inside and Ive been for everything from comedy, concerts to events. Parking isnt great but available for free near by.

Older but GREAT venue for concerts!!! More intimate then most Ive been which was VERY COOL!!! Chairs were not the best where I was sitting (second row) and why I gave 4 vs 5 stars). That said, was on feet most of the show so was not a huge deal. Would definitely got back for future shows!!!

Roddy rich was awesome. The uptown is always a classic venue. Spacing is decent. Your really able to make your way around the building.

The venue is beautiful and elegant. A couple seats fell a part near me (not the big of a deal, just a bolt needed to be tightened) and I got in a verbal altercation with 4 people who were drunk and telling racist jokes during the musicians acoustic sets, after a few other people asked them to stop laughing during the sets, but other than that, the venue was amazing.Also, if youre the 4 drunk people who were joking about how your sisters Mexican boyfriend isnt allowed to use your bathroom, and then threatened to punch me in the face after I asked you to not talk over the musician we paid to see, please contact me with your information so I can update this. I am positive everyone would find it as hilarious as you did during the middle of a quiet set.

Very well maintained event spaces for private parties and concerts. Just went to their in-house box office and bought tickets for a comedy show coming up, the staff were friendly and informative. Also, it may be haunted.

My cousin beautiful wedding

Great place to see a show. Has a cool bar area up front for before and after show drinks. Very cool theater setting

Great venue! First time there and I loved it! Got to see one of my old faves! The bartender was a bit snappy when I asked for a mixed drink but she didnt say what there was to mix the liquor with so she looked annoyed when I didnt answer right away. If you are in customer service try smiling a bit.

Nice cute theater in the city! Sound system is okay but the tickets are cheap and plenty of general seatings available

Went to see the Zomboy rottnroll tour here. Had an absolute amazing experience! The venue was great (I liked that there was standing and seats) lights were great, sound was awesome. The concessions were easily located (drinks were expensive 7$ for a single shot in a tiny mixed drink cup) but overall was an awesome venue! Highly recommend.

Excellent Concert & I love the Historical Look it has maintained over the years

I really liked the venue. Saw Billy Idol there. Sat in the balcony. Great show.

What nice banquet rooms, Chef Amber and crew served us a delicious meal! This is a very historic and cool location

Intimate setting to catch big name bands. Sound engineers deserve a shout out because everyone sounds great there

I absolutely love this venue. It has beautiful old theatre style details throughout the main room. The bar staff is mostly very nice, there is this one bartender who has been there for a while...she isnt the most pleasant. But thats ok, theres a full staff to help you. The smokers corral out back could be a little bigger as its the only place to get outside for a breath of air. But I still really enjoy my concert experiences here.

Concert was great. Staff were well-organized and friendly. Bathrooms werent as scary as I thought they would be. Crazy architecture:

Old themed style venue with great room for General Admission on the floor. The architecture is just so different than what you see at some of these newer places.

I was there for the MGMT concert, the staff outside the venue did a great job controlling the line and flow of people when the doors opened.Inside, the stage was ready and security was present too. When the concert started, the sound and the light show was just amazing, that plus the fact that youre in a small venue made up for an amazing experience of one of my favorite bands. I would totally recommend this place if a concert you like is happening here. Loved it!

One of the most uniquely decorated theaters Ive ever experienced, and a little warm at the higher levels of the balconies. There isnt a bad seat in the house and the aucustics didnt suck. Overall I found it a very cozy venue and look forward to my next show there. The promise of free parking across the street is bogus though as that fills up more than an hour before showtime leaving street parking blocks away as youre only option.

Such a great historic venue. Acoustic shows come off so well. Definitely a KC fav

One of the Best concert venues in Kansas City are!I am The Owner Of Marchelon Professional Massage Therapy (Buy Direct & Local)! I love when events are held at Uptown!

I absolutely love this venue! Its old and grungy, but thats what I love about it. So much history. Theres plenty of bar space as well. Its multi level, and the acoustics are great. Parking lot is across the street and I had no issues finding a space. I would definitely recommend this venue. Plus the staff were really helpful.

Really cool venue. Definitely would go there again for a concert.

Great show, my 2nd concert here

Great venue for live music and DJs

Decor-wise, it is an nice place. I give it three stars only in that the acoustics of the place isnt the best. I think that it wasnt designed for rock bands and such. The beer choice was decent in that they did have Boulevard to choose from ($12).

This is it...the comment u need to hear... This was my first time ever going to to uptown...i could remember when sunfresh was right across the street and i would see people in their fancy clothes/cars...i would always say...imma go there one day Im gonna get me a new dress and go there...i finally had the chance to see the inside wasnt in a new dress...i was in a chefs outfit...i attended a chefs meeting...and it was jus as i thought...beautiful...it was a very nice elegant place...and i even met the Owner...very very nice young man...it was my pleasure.

First time there in a long time. Still very nice. Staff was very courteous. Seen Chris Tucker.

Cool old venue thats been fixed up, revitalized and hopefully saved. Saw a lot of shows here in the old days! Look forward to more. I hope they take care of it, so it can live on for future generations to enjoy. Maybe they need to know its musty and possibly moldy, might need to do a deep dive cleaning on the place.

Good venue. Plenty of restrooms. Drinks are pricey but had a great time 12 bucks for a 22oz beer. But expected for a concert venue

Fantastic venue. Very nice facility. Excellent audio system and staff. Parking can be tricky.

This is a great venue in Kansas City. Staff is very friendly and helpful. I always enjoy going to the Uptown theater.

Great Venue awesome multiple rooms for Weddings and events. Historic and Iconic Sign out front a Legendary KC venue everybody who is somebody today played there back in the Day!

Saw the band Toto on their 40 Trips Around The Sun Tour! Great show! Wonderful venue! Lots of character! Great place to see a show!

Beautiful arch. Great acoustics. Friendly wait staff. Concerts star

The workers were awesome and answered all questions I had being that I came from out of town to the concert tonight..

The concert was excellent but the theater needs work. The arm of my seat was taped in and been taped so long didnt even stay on anymore with the tape. While has potential to be a beautiful theater it needs some love from the owner for sure. Also not sure if venue or band but sat right behind sound board (off to side so could still see stage fine) was all lit up and right as band was to come on stage board went dark which also means band played in dark for most of opening song. Was not planned as they mentioned after song that show must go on even with no lights. Before I would visit again would want to check if seats repaired or replaced, if not would take cost into consideration.

We saw Home Free and the theater was clean and the speakers were just the right volume.

The show was amazing. Well worth the 3 hour drive!!! The crew/staff were helpful, friendly, and informative.

Ive seen a few shows here. Great acoustics and seating. Tickets are hard to find at times.

One of my favorite local venues to see a concert! Drink lines move quickly. The inside of the theater is beautiful!

Good sound inside. Designed to help music & live arts sound optimal, unlike arenas never intended or purposed for live music sound quality... or bars cleared out for a crowd to get that point blank noise youd never voluntarily withstand sans hearing protection unless you paid hard-earned money for it type of experience while you act cool and keep cool courtesy of all those strangers providing one another with the sweat-showers-lottery inside the I-cant-see-anything hot moshpit smashtogether becomes the I-cant-breathe-anymore moshpit smashtogether.... Just a thought...

Great venue. George T and the Destroyers were great!

Beautifully remodeled smaller venue with excellent acoustics and not a bad seat in the house!

Awesome place to see a concert if you love small venues. Saw Toto there. Amazing

Very cool venue. It was a smaller venue, but thats part of what makes it special. It had a seating area, with neat chairs and a good view of the band. It also had a few tables, and then plenty of space on the floor. Sound was good, staff was good, and bands were great!

Cannot wait never been there before but Im going there to see Beth Hart and she is awesome so this place is got to be great cant wait to be there I just love her she rocks hard

Its one of the best venues in KC. You can stand in the back and still get a great view.

The uptown is always a great venue. The architecture is just beautiful.

Historic venue. GA floor, about 12 rows of seats on the main floor. Balcony has about 20 rows

Fast getting through the line, clean and spacious throughout the inside, beautiful interior. Drinks are obviously pricey, but well made. Friendly staff.

Shame that I have to do this. Been to many shows here and usually the experience is pretty good. I normally would not slam a place for a mediocre visit however between the mediocre experience at Griz and the bartender automatically adding a $2 tip that I did not authorize when purchasing six waters, I feel it is my duty to report this experience. I purchased a VIP ticket for Griz. The VIP area was in the front right corner behind the speakers which made the sound from the VIP area terrible. I spent about a total of 20 minutes in the VIP area because of the sound and also the view was terrible. I tried to see the show from other areas but it was a sold-out show and the body heat was stifling. I do understand that this was a somewhat last minute decision to move the venue from Crossroads in order to keep from rescheduling another show due to rain, (did not rain btw) but this is one of my very favorite artist and to walk away feeling the way I felt made it a poor experience for me. Had I been drinking alcohol all night long I may not have noticed the additional $2 charge on my card that I did not authorize. I always tip my bartenders, every single trip to the bar. It was only $2 but the principal.... I had already tipped in cash. This experience will make me reconsider how important the next artist is to me before I go again.

Beautiful building. Comfortable seats for the most part. Good views from the balcony.

Very cool venue. Perfect for a small concert too! I have been here on several occasions and am always amazing about how friendly the staff is and how easy it is to get in and out of the venue.If you are looking for a great Kansas City concert hall I really recommend this as the place to be! I love the Uptown Theater here in K.C. The best!Thanks!

I used to go there as a child to watch movies but what a great place to go for an intimate concert experience

Great intimate venue for a rock show. Goo goo dolls were amazing.

Uptown is an amazing place to see live music. Not a bad seat in the house. Small enough to have that intimate show feeling, large enough to support that crowd energy.

Good venue. Just make sure you sit in balcony unless you want to stand the whole concert

Great venue

Uptown theater is my absolute favorite venue in Kansas City to see a live concert. Intimate and beautiful theater.

Its nice but it was to hot.

UNDERSTAFFED FOR LANA DEL REY CONCERT. I paid $200 for GA. I shouldve bought a cheap balcony ticket and gone to the GA section because the staff DID NOT REGULATE WHO CAN ENTER THE GA SECTION. now theres people in the GA SECTION who purchased the cheap balcony/back section seats. A WASTE OF MY MONEY. THIS BUSINESS NEEDS EVENT ADMISSION COORDINATION IMPROVEMENT. They should CONSIDER installing more projectors for others to see. Also rope off the hallways that lead to the GA SECTION . But most importantly ROPE OFF EVERY SECTION!

What a great venue for a concert with a few great places to eat nearby.

Great venue for live music or weddings. Beautiful interior!

Love this beautiful theater great for concerts and dance recitals! Love the convenient parking next door. Makes it easier than other venues in the city to park!

I really enjoy going to concerts here. Theres plenty of seats. You just have to watch your step if your going to set in the balcony seats. The steps down to your seat are strange.

Had a great time here, the theater is big enough to be filled but still have shoulder room. The uptown Theater is such a beautiful theater, great architecture everywhere.

I saw Tom Waits, John Prine and so many of the great performers during the 1970s many at the Uptown (great venue) . Next week Im seeing Kris Kristofferson for the first time in several years at the Uptown again. Cant wait!

The theater its self was fine, but the concert we went to see was horrible due to moshing. The theater should really regulate that kind of stuff so guests have a better experience.
