Fabulous venue. Historic! I saw a Miles Davis film recently. Comedy. Tours. You name it. So many activities this important year. Love it.

A legendary concert house in the heart of Harlem, the Apollo Theater has featured some of the greatest artist in jazz, blues, funk, soul and hip hop. The accoustics are good, and the feeling intimate. A good place to experience music. There is also a gift shop, and outside you can get a glimpse of all the greats who have performed here. A historic place with a lot of good vibes.

This landmark in Harlem will always be one of the birthplaces of soulful music. I like the walk of fame.

The legendary Apollo is just that. I didnt see any performances but just being in the same building as all of the icons of music was an experience in itself. They have done a fabulous job of keeping the venue in shape. They offer tours but I just wanted to get some pictures and just check it out. The list of names of the stars that have been on this stage is a whos who of show biz. Next time I visit Im gonna catch a performance on amateur night

Absolutely cannot recommend Wednesday Amateur Show Highly enough. Some kids acts (No booing) then the adult acts and if you dont like them, boo them off. Great fun and a must do in NYC.

My friend and his family invited us here and we watched this musical, really cool performance. This is arguably one of the beat theaters in NYC along with Broadway.

Apollo Night! It was so much fun! There is a pre- party for the audience and then there is are the kids showcase and then adults. It ended up being a total of 3hr long and only for $30 each. This was truly one of the highlights of my NYC.Only on Wednesday Nights!

One of the most fun shows in nyc! We were sitting at the lower balcony and got a very good view. Don’t carry too many stuff with you cause the sits are very small + you need to be able to move around and shake your body during the show :D

Ive been to the Apollo on many different occasions whether it was for the world famous amateur night, a concert, a viewing of the presidential debate, or a podcast live show. Each time I have enjoyed being I n the theater and the energy it brings. I love how they can have a plethora of different events in the space. Pricy drinks but thats typical for any nyc venue.

Always a place I wanted to visit in NYC. Mr. Apollo is the real deal and gave a great tour with a great history lesson both for him personal and for the theater. Highly suggest as a local or visitor.

Absolutely amazing venue, very intimate yet large enough for big name bands. Three floors of seating means theres great viewing angles no matter where you get tickets, and the sound is some of the clearest ive seen. A+ definitely check it out if youre in the NYC area

I went here to see a Dipset performance and it was awesome l. Just being in this beautiful theatre and the history it possesses. Crazy being a Harlem native and it me almost 30 years to actually attend something at the Apollo. Our seats were on the balcony and had great sighting to the stage. I can’t wait to find another reason to go back. Also they serve drinks that’s a plus as well.

This was my first show at the Apollo and a metal band was probably the least likely thing I thought would get me here. I was amazed at how small the venue is, I guess because its reputation looms so large. The staff was friendly and helpful and you cant beat the intimacy of the space.

I had so much fun at the amateur night at the Apollo! The crowd gets warmed up by the in house crowd warmers until the house is on fire :-). The performances themselves were absolutely great and a pleasure to watch. And lets not forget that hanging out in such an iconic place as the Apollo Theater is an experience in itself. You definitely wont regret spending your evening at the Apollo!!

This places has so much history, first of all! Second it was so much fun and laughed more than I could have expected. Tickets were at a great price (~30) and alcoholic drinks were under $10. Capone (the host) was hilarious and kept us laughing throughout the show! It was neat to see real talent from around the country preform for us. I would recommend coming to a show and amateur night if you want a good laugh and an enjoyable time with a great band!

This was the best time I have ever had. The scene was so down to earth. The atmosphere is was lively. Staff was accommodating to the elderly. Their restrooms were very clean. All in all it was a great experience.

Visiting the Apollo Theater was on my bucket list for some time, as I learned about the theater’s role in shaping African American culture and reading about how the theater helped propel the careers of many famous celebrities like Jimi Hendrix.Although our group didn’t get to watch any performances at the theatre during our visit, the staff at the Apollo Theatre were really friendly and let us hang around the theatre and ask questions about the theatre and its luxurious history.Watching a performance here is definitely on my to-do list next time i’m in New York!

My college went on a trip to NY, during which we went to the Apollo theater. It was an honor to meet Mr. Apollo himself! (If your names Barbara be prepared for him to talk about his sugawuga ). An experience that Ill definitely never forget. Groups went up and preformed, including some of my classmates and instructors. Two of which are pictured, are actually singers. So glad they had the courage to sing in front of the crowd. I heavily recommend visiting, and getting a copy of Billy Mitchells book. He signs it then and there.

Hey all.... the apollo was awesome. Very entertaining you would have a very great time. Totally worth the money for the great experience. I went on amateur night and had an awesome time. I had drinks and was entertain wonderfully. So if you get a chance get to the apollo theatre its a time you wont forget! Make sure to bring your wallet because the drinks can be a bit expensive.. but in all you will have a wonderful time!

SO worth the drive from Toronto! Went to Amateur Night and had such a blast! Check in was smooth and seating was no fuss. Will be back!’

Had so much fun here... And the talent is great...

So much history here. Want a peak backstage? See the pics. Did you know the Apollo started as a burlesque house in 1913? Sincw then it has become world famous for showcasing talent, established and new.

I Had SUCH A HIGH Time Enjoying APOLLO LIVE WIRE:. Shes A REBEL. 11.14.19

A group of us traveled to New York City, yesterday, to go to the Apollo Comedy Club where one of Bostons comedians, Corey Manning, was appearing. Below, are plaques of some of the stars who got their start at the Apollo.

Went to Apollo.to buy my mother and aunt some jazz tickets. My mother loves Apollo and Red lobsters next door.Its a landmark. Lots of history walked through those doors.Comedy nights is the best for me but mommy loves jazz

Amazing venue! The Apollo Theater is a must visit concert site for any music fan. Opeth was incredible, and the sound mix was stellar. A treasure in the heart of Harlem. I felt safe, welcome, and the staff went out of their way to accommodate my mobility issues. Hats off to them!

Great theatre for live performances. Iconic!

First of all, I have been going to the Apollo Theater since I was a kid.I have seen a variety of singers & musicians over the years and have never been disappointed.This Holiday Gospel Celebration with Donald Lawrence & Yolanda Adams was no exception. The music was very inspirational, enjoyable and caused you to get involved in some way, whether singing along, patting your feet, clapping your hands, dancing in or out of your seat and even.....SHOUTING!The price is reasonable and any seat in the house is in full view iof the stage.I highly recommend the Apollo Theater as a place to feel comfortable and be highly entertained.

They do well in preserving the historic significance of the establishment with modern twists in performances, with crowd and performer energy making it always a fun time. When I go, I feel as if Im in another era, re-living a different time when amateur nights could make or break a career. I love it here

Oh my gosh! How amazing! It was great to be in this beautiful, historic theater and so much fun! The show was absolutely fantastic! Almost 3 hours of entertainment! What talent was on display! Although the audience participation was fun, I do think the group was harsh to two of the contestants, not even really giving them a fair shot to perform. Thats the nature, risk, and hazard of the performing at the Apollo, though, I guess. Performers beware! It is not always fair or for the faint, feeble, or weak, so work on your rhino skin! A no from the audience at the Apollo doesnt mean that youre no good or you didnt deserve better. A different night and it could turn out totally different! No complaints, though. The whole experience really was great. I would definitely go again, and most certainly recommend the experience to anyone. Another fun tidbit is this: if you get there early enough and you post something on social media using their hashtag, it will show up on the big screen, so get your camera ready! Have fun! #AmateurNightApollo

So much history, knowledgeable and friendly staff. They have a great internship program for H.S. students and I visited multiple times for business and pleasure. I would recommend everyone visit if they are in Harlem, NY.

Historic and super important institution in New York city and Harlem.Not a mainstream tourism spot and thats great, well worth the visit just to see it and read the names of the greats that have performed there and contributed to the success and importance of the Apollo.

It was my first time inside this building. I went to go see Santa Claus. And wasnt actually on the stage so I cant comment on how the theater itself looks but I did see lots of pictures of famous Africa American people who Im assuming got there big break from being a performer at the Apollo theater. However my children and I did see Santa and were given a free face sketch of ourselves and some limited edition cinnamon Coca-Cola so it was fun.

One of the greatest experiences in a historic place. Billy A.k.a. Mr Apollo guided us with his humble and gracious personality, through the origins of this shrine of Jazz, Soul and R&B music. Strongly recommend for music lovers of all ages.

Beautiful historical neighborhood and theatre!

A great historical experience! We absolutely love Mr. Apollo and his tours!

Excellent theatre. The energy in and around this theatre is AWESOME. No wonder it’s a landmark in NYC.

Havent been inside but oitside is so cool

I went to see Ginuwine and Donell Jones! The show was AMAZING!

Apollo is NYC and everyone who is anyone loves stopping by. We were in the presence of greatness with Ava Duvernay, the cast of when they see us and the 5 men who the movie was about and Oprah. The only downside was I was outside of theatre since 3pm but they put the people who arrived early in the upperdecks of the theatre near the ceiling and the late comers got better seats. First & Last time at the Apollo.

Amazing. The gift shop needs work and the theatre is a lot smaller in person. But I felt humbled being there in the place where all of the greats have been. Fabulous photos of all the stars on the staircases

I had the best time! It took me back to Arseno, Steve Harvey and Tikki. Lots of memories and laughs. The new host was funny and I like his message of unity.

Beautiful theater but sound system needs a lot of work. Ive seen a few shows here and it has a tin quality with overdrive and feedback. Comfy seats.

Amazing place with so much history. Make sure you get ya boo on

This was a great and inspiring history lesson so wonderfully told by a gentleman handle name Mr. Apollo who has been working there since he was fourteen and now some decades later is still going strong. I learned a lot about this magnificent theater and I so glad I came. Highly recommend.

The APOLLO celebrated its 85th BIRTHDAY and had an open house celebration on Sat 2nd ....!!!! It was my first time to this beautiful theatre Uptown !!! It was a dream come thru, the conveinces provided were great !! Elevator to the different floors and hospitable folks to guide you !!! Friendly staff and courteous .

Amazing. Historic. World famous. Perfect sound and lighting. Helpful and friendly staff from production to Front of House. Thank you for being you, Apollo!

Its a part of history that I think is definitely worth a visit when in NY. There are some really nice places to go eat near it. It can be a little congested at times though.

Great, historic place. The comedy room was excellent, the show was great. The menu was limited to a few finger foods but they were good. Also, the drink menu was limited but it was good.

World-class venue full of history and a big contributor to African American culture. Tickets are affordable here. Has a wonderful comedy club that hosts legit pros from all over the country. Was very impressed and cant wait to visit again. Great location on 125th Street.

We made the trip up to Harlem a specially to see the Apollo, it’s in a busy neighbourhood full of life and activity the night we went there, worth having a look around

1st timer from new york. Went to see the read live and it was a great experience all around. The staff were great and accommodating. The legendary apollo theater, thank you.

Absolutely wonderful entertainment.The building is gorgeous from the inside.We got late seats and sat in the very last row, on the right. No need to worry! The sound and line of vision was perfect!The show was hysterical. I dont live in America, but the humour is light and witty and appeals to all.I also love that you buy your drinks inside - credit cards accepted!The ushers are also feisty characters and start getting you in the festive mood from the get-go.If I lived nearby, I would try and go at least once a month!

Gorgeous theater with brilliant lighting. I came here for my first time on Friday night for a AHF event. I was really impressed with this theater and had a great time!

I love the Apollo. The talent show every Wednesday evening is the best you can do in Harlem. The vibe is unique and incredible & the artists are always wonderful.

Was hoping to see more of this historic place, but you need a group of 20+ to get a tour ... about a 15 min walk from the train

I love this place. It always look big on tv.

Check out the Apollo Theater gift shop, walk of fame, wow, what great artist. I can hear the music. You can ore-arrange a history tour with historian.

What a wonderful tour of the Apollo with Mr. Apollo! This was a fantastic way to round out a visit to Harlem.

Loved my first time at this legendary theater

So, as a young adult I spent a lot of time watching show time at the Apollo. The Apollo Theatre is an iconic place, located in the heart of Harlem (125st). The staff is great! I was seated in the back and so the stage seemed far away lol. While I was there all I did was reminisce on everything I saw on the telly. To visit this place is an honor so be sure to check it out.

Very cool amateur night every Wednesday. Comedy and music like no other in Harlem! Last time the music was very loud (hurt our ears). Please loud music is fine but not too loud. Would give 5 stars if the level of sound was perfect. Perhaps next time.

The most authentic music and scenic place in New York. APOLLO is the true soul of the city. I love it! I love Harlem!

Showtime at the Apollo is amazing. I have had the honor of performing therea few years ago. I was a young girl so no booing occurred but any who. Its amazing to see it back in such a great way. The place still looks great. The crowed is definetly more mixed now a days and to say that its vicious if you dont do well is an understatement. Steve Harvey turned this out. Lets hope it gets picked up by Fox

KWANZAA REGENERATION NIGHT is always fun, informative and entertaining each year. A must see. Enjoy if you go and bring a friend/ family member.

Legendary venue ! Good soundsystem with no natural acoustics. I sat in the lower balcony at a great vantage point. As the place was Sold out the seating didnt feel crowded. Also the staff was very friendly too. (btw. A little known secret. Theres a White Castle burger place thats open 24 hours for an after show, late night snack a block away !

It was so much fun! Great talent! Worth going.

Had a great time. The hypeman, the host and the contestants. Just a fun time. Went by way too quick! Great time!!

I went to the amateur contest from the beginning to the end. A very entertaining evening with the trip and admission. I followed a dinner Richard Perez who covered Michael Jacksons dirty dianna. He was incredible

Attended Black Music on the Big Screen a thoughtful discussion of the music of Isaac Hayes and Gordon Parks and others.

The concert was WONDERFULI have not been to the Apollo in ages they did a good job with the inside up keep they also do a strict security check you can buy drinks water alcoholic beverages sound system great!

The sound and lighting were spot on. The staff was professional and friendly. I didnt leave disappointed. Apollo theater is a wonderful place.

This is a wonderful place also I got to perform on stage

A beautiful venue in the heart of Harlem.

All of the performances were excellent. Tonight was my first live show but it will not be my last. I had such a good time.

Its the Apollo! Awesome historic site. Closed on Sundays but the lobby is open and you can rub the stump for luck. Theres a mini walk of fame outside that makes great pics.

Im a Harlem native & spent my childhood here. It was so good to be back. Great place.

Seeing and enjoying the Apollo Theater where my nephew won and now host....

Good times with Steve Harvey on and off the stage doing all we love and enjoy. ZeScuStie and not Denise Brinson.

Amateur night was a fun night. So many great contestants too!

This is my second time at apollo. The first for amateur night and the second for Holidays in Harlem Gospel. This theater knows how to get the crowd enthralled. The orchestra and mezzanine seating are both excellent. No where in the oreshestra is too odd an angle - ever seat is good. I would aim for mezze center if at all possible. Pictures here are from dead center mezz.

Great time, at the historic Apllo Theater, I went there for Africa Now which was a great event. I ended up on stage for a dance contest which was fun, as an artist the dream is to perform at a place like this were a lot of history has been made, lots of great performances has been held, so for me for just a few minutes being on state and dance in front of all these people and the cheers were an affirmation of my purpose of being a professional and bring joy to people. Great place.

Legendary and still amazing place. Beautiful energy

Apollo great entertainment for 6 years old and up. Now you can see what happens during the commercials. Did you know the jingle Nationwide is on your side was sung, instrumental played, created by a members of the Apollo Band!

Awesome time. Great energy. Home of the greatest. My little brother performed there. I am so proud of him to be able to make it to the Apollo.

Love it here. Historic building. I enjoyed my first ever visit.

Visiting this place was amazing. If you visit New York and are able to get to Harlem, you have to visit the Apollo Theater.

I was very wonderful experience and uplifting as far as the history of it so I was very excited about the whole thing

Showtime at the Apollo with Steve Harvey..Awesome nonstop laughs one of the greatest NYC experiences you can have

I have loved the Apollo since childhood. So happy that Mr. Percy Ellis Sutton stepped up to save this landmark institution. The first time I went there I paid 65 cents for the first show.

I really liked the acoustic of the place, and the beverage prices were more affordable than other places of the sort, Id go back.

Its where so Many up and coming Stars went to perform and the Audience were there First and Only Crowd that were allowed to Judge new acts and if the act or person that was performing badly...Theyd stand up and Boo, then begin in sync to give the hand gesture to throw em off the Stage and #ThE SandMan# who was dressed in a Clown type Suit including #BigRedNose and oversized Clown Shoes would Sweep the performer on the rear end with his #Straw Broom until they were off the Stage... A place where being Honest was #1 on their list.God Bless ️

Beautiful theater, reminiscent of the past.. Good view from most seats, but be aware that the seats are very tight. If you have knee problems or are on the taller side, choose aisle seats!

Came here for the Women of the World Music Festival, and saw Alice Smith perform. I’ve always avoided seeing shows here in the past because of how busy 125th is, and that Apollo staff takes FOREVER getting people in the theater. They like to draw attention, by creating these obnoxiously long lines outside the the theater. But the show was great. Alice Smith has an AMAZING voice, so strong and sultry. She was worth the wait for sure.

Great ambience. Good seats. Has a bar at the top

Nice place. Excellent programs for children. Home to some incredible talent.

It was so much fun!! The DJ, the pre-show, the MC, were all amazing! But the band. . . They were awesome!!!!. They were so good they made substandard performers sound good. If it had not been for the band, some performances definitely would have been cut short. A great show from beginning to end!!

Great venue. Iconic Harlem. Incredible sound.

Amateur Night at the Apollo is a bucket list experience. I got to get up on stage during the intermission dance party. I got to dance with the spirits of James Brown, Ella Fitzgerald, Redd Foxx and more.

Really nice venue to see a show. Only reason it didnt get the fifth star is because on the mezzanine level your view can get blocked by barricade or peoples heads.
