A Missoula Classic, intimate, yet room to dance, seating recently reworked brilliantly. Top notch Line Array PA, no need for earplugs. Eat downstairs at Scottys Table, highly recommend as well.

Awesome venue for concerts...not big and open like an outdoor, but not small and confined like a basement or bar concert, its perfect for an indoor good size show. The, Hellyeah & Nonpoint,12-3-19 concert was another great show.... Lots of room, audio and visuals were on point....unlike in the last few years, all around a great setup!

My husband and I stayed in an apartment AIR BNB above. As a Real Estate Agent in the Flathead Valley I loved the apartment. It is definitely a place Id want to buy! He loved it more than staying at our favorite hotel in Missoula!

Best sound system.....3 bars, no wait. Go see your favorite band here, you will have a great time.

Nice enough theater, saw a concert here. They dont have a coat check, so you either have to watch your coat constantly and risk it getting stolen/damaged, or freeze on the way to and from the theater. No in and out either, so I couldnt even leave to drop my coat off at my hotel.

Big enough venue to feel like a huge concert and small enough also to feel like the band is playing just for you. ️There is a balcony if you want to sit and relax . All the views to the stage are good up there. Down below in front of the stage is room enough to dance, although sometimes it gets tight, way tight. Most concerts do though, right? They have bars where you can order beer, wine and every kind of cocktail, bourbon and whiskeys.This place is great and being right downtown by the river its awesome to walk around before and after the show.

Its a little pricey but well worth it. The people who come are so good and the performances are professional. Just be ready to pay a lot for food and drinks.

Went last night for the first time and saw The Rocky Horror live show! That was fabulous!I suggest coming well fed and have your drinks before arriving. The cost for popcorn was rather high for a tiny bag, and the line for drinks was slow.Otherwise it was a great experience!

Rarely have ever had pleasant experiences here. staff comes off as very aggressive, and the locals are a bit defensive and unfriendly. an EMT here once told me to go bl*w some random dude so I can afford to travel to another show. very tasteful. support more DIY scenes and you wont get treated like human garbage yall

Beautiful, Spacious and always a great venue for shows. Two bars that they work quickly if there is a line. The shows booked have been great each time and still feels intimate, no matter where you stand and watch. If anyone visits and has never been to this venue, I let them know they wont be disappointed at all. I love The Wilma!

Seats are WAY too crammed. My knees were hitting the seat in front of me, even if I shifted diagonally in my seat. We pay a lot of money to sit there for a couple hours. Make it more comfortable.

I went to the Milky Chance show and had an amazing night! I absolutely love the remodel of the Wilma. Great crowd flow with a feel good atmosphere! With the upper balcony seats it made for a great viewing platform! I am definitely going again soon!

The Wilma is a great venue to see a show. While the stage isnt big enough for bands with large stage shows such as Kiss or Metallica, its a perfect stage for medium bands. Even in the balcony you feel close, you can see everything and the sound is clear. The Gin Blossoms were awesome here.

Ive attended several concerts here. I love that the owners maintained the historic architecture, because I think creates a definite Missoula level concert experience.

Review №37

Renovated and beautiful. They now have 2 bars available during shows (new one in balcony, but it has limited options). Tickets options for open floor space for standing, high tables, as well as seating lets you choose type of experience you like at a show. Sound is improved on renovation. Didnt like going before, but now the place is incredible!

The Wilma is a great theater! It holds various venues and is a place where all can come and enjoy. They do have bar section, an atm, a drinking fountain if the bar isnt your thing, and a steller sound system. The AC system they use keeps up with a sizable crowd of 700+.The theater is older, but that gives it amazing character. Next time youre in Missoula make The Wilma a destination. You wont be disappointed.

The Wilma has been beautifully re-modeled while retaining its historical feel. It is mostly a concert venue & is attracting great talent. It used to show mostly movies & still dies every now & then. I wish they would show more. There are 2 full bars & food service in a limited amount.

This is an awesome theater that combines the an old time feel to the ambiance of its downtown location. I would always come here to watch the wildlife film festival when I was in school, and I go to showings of movies here occasionally too. The theater is beautiful and has a real charm to it.

I found this a great place to see a show. The Wilma is an awesome combination of historic and modern. Very cool antique type walls and chandeliers but modern bathrooms. Its an intimate experience because it is not too big. There is not a bad seat in the house, with a pretty good amount of seating in the balcony. The staff was professional and courteous. I will look forward to seeing another show at The Wilma. Also when I called I was actually talked to patiently when asking questions.

We had a fantastic time at The Dirty Sexy Chocolate Show. We saw the later performance, and the view from Row C, house right, was perfect. Im always blown away by how grand the theater looks since the remodel, and the acoustics were right on the money. This is a great space for live theatre and music, the seating is very comfortable and the staff are very professional.

The Wilma is an iconic Missoula landmark. Since the new owners went in and completely revamped the seating and sound, the place is amazing. The interior is a step back in time while the sound quality is superior. I saw The Indigo Girls and felt like I was sitting in the stage! Beer, wine and snacks are served as well. The Wilma is right in downtown Missoula so you can make a day of it before your event.

Review №85

It was so weird on March 2nd, they scheduled 4 bands to play in one night, which I thought was going to be awesome. But then I realized even though I was 20 minutes early, I still missed part of the opening band (with one of my old band mates in it) because of the long line. It just seems really unprofessional to make people spend 40 dollars on tickets and not even be able to see the whole first act.

Review №88

The Wilma is a landmark in Missoula Montana, it has been totally renovated and theyve tried to historically correct for the year it was originally build. They have done a wonderful job and you can sit there while taking in all the restored art work in comfortable seats. Ive gone to some concerts there and enjoyed myself but the last concert for Uncle Kracker was disappointing. The music was either to loud and the speakers couldnt handle it or??? Something was off and I dont know what it was. We left early which was ashame as wed really been looking forward to going to that venue.

Went to see George Thorogood. The floor arrangements suck. I was in a section where I thought I would be able to see with a bar railing in front of me but some real tall guy kept sitting on it basically twice nearly on my face if I hadnt moved back he would have. Last 2 concerts Ive seen there have been bad experiences. Will not go to another one. Last time was in the seated section. Thought this time would be better. NOT. They need to fix the theater.
