This place is pretty cool. It’s not very big but they have all different kinds of performers. I’ve been multiple times over the years to see different bands and musicians. We recently went to watch The Fab Four, the experience was awesome. We literally have no complaints.

Gave it a four star because the entertainment was awesome. Gaelic Storm has been coming to the Plaza for 10 years. The show was great. But the seats are quite tight and a lot of people had difficulty finding their rows and seat numbers.Granted the Plaza is one of the oldest venues in Orlando. Constructed in 1963 it was the areas first 2-screen movie theater. In the 90s it was converted into a live performance venue.The view of the stage is unobstructed so doesnt seem to be a bad seat in the house. The venue is available for rental besides the scheduled concerts and entertainment.

This place was built in 1963 and it sure smells like it. We were on the balcony to see John Mulaney a few years back. It smelled like mildew, and the balcony is very creaky and felt unstable. I was afraid it would just give in and we’d all fall.The outside definitely felt sketchy, and we didn’t feel safe (especially at night).After learning about what happened to Christina Grimmie there, I don’t think we’d ever go back.

Enjoyed the Front Porch Series, great way to do live music during COVID. In non-COVID times, a great mix of music.

This is a great venue for live music. The acoustics are good and it is fairly small and there really isnt a bad seat in the house. We saw Jesse Cook and band there tonight and they were amazing.

Great venue with a really big stage. The floor slopes down, so you still have a good view, v even from the back.

Great small to mid sized venue. Easy parking. Has a balcony but Ive never been on it. Large floor and great sound.

Great venue for live music. Only reason for 4 stars is for the seats. Very pricey for padded folding chairs. other than that this place is great. It doesnt matter what seat you have you still have a great view of the stage.

Great venue for concerts. Saw Jesse Cook there. Awesome show!

I came from out of town to see a concert. It was very easy to find and is located next to a shopping center with plenty of parking. The building is older but seems well maintained.

The concert was wonderful. We saw Jesse Cook with his talented other musicians.There seems to be a lack of communication with the ticket booth and other people involved.The seats are extremely close together. Padded folding chairs that are positioned on the floor touching each other. They needed more help behind the bar. A very long line 20 people waiting, some just wanting a bottle of water like us.

Great venue! Saw Steel Panther here! \n/

The security was horribly bad. The security was very & extremely unprofessional. It didn’t have any metal detectors including metal detector wands. This is why Christina Grimmie got shot and killed. I will never go there not only the lack of security but also the drinks and snack bars are expensive. The security shouldn’t have let this Kevin James Loibl in, whom he has handgun weapons and a knife. My advice to you is if there is lack of security, the cost of drinks, dirty bathrooms and/or horrible dirty place don’t go there period.

We saw Pepper here amazing show. Acoustics are good. The club is clean and well set up. Parking was close and free. I would definitely come back to The plaza live

Awesome we had a great time there!!

This is a smaller plaza than some of the other concert venues Ive been to. Not really a good or a bad thing in itself, however it did seem more prone to get hot. With that in mind, a small venue gives a more personal experience with whatever artist you are seeing, so Id say it evens out. I do recommend you bring a fan or something to stay cool.

Attended a political event for Mayor Pete.... Lively crowd... The venue is nice for medium sized crowds.... Ive been to concerts here & its comfortable & no one has to sit too far away... Theres a lovely ladies room. Theres also a bar for drinks.

Went to see Pepper. The venue was clean, concrete sloped floor to the stage. Some balcony seating. Not very big, but perfect for lesser named shows. Great sound and lighting. Small stands to buy drinks inside as well as bars in the lobby. Was impressed with the speed of getting in, even though you have to show id and get your arm stamped and hoo through metal detectors. Very professional and friendly staff. Was a great experience.

Great music venue. Nothing special but well laid out and an easy concert experience

Fantastic venue. Security was quick, drinks are rather pricey but its a concert venue so what do you expect.

I have been here twice and hate it. The venue is so run down. Every other or so seats marked with numbers. Sounds system is inadequate. Great for a rock band most pit. Just gross. I only come when its an event I cant miss.

Jesse Cook concert was great but venue could have been better. Seats are folding chairs bolted together, very close together. Bathrooms crowded and paper towel dispenser did not work. No water fountain and you need to wait in the bar line to buy expensive bottled water. This place needs an upgrade.

I will try to clarify the mixed reviews. Yes, the drinks are priced like Disney. Wait in a 1 staff line & get a bottled water for $4. I dont drink, so cant price the alcohol.The concert area is a concrete floor, sloping down, a traditional 1960s theatre design, so yes, every seat has a view (unless you are 52 & the guy in front of you is over 6 - I know from experience). The seats are very poorly marked (look for chalk mark scrawled numbers on the raised seat bottoms), so sometimes the ushers are very busy helping folks find their seats. The central air is inadequate, so sometimes its hot & steamy, and other times its cool. Prepare for both.The seats are their downfall, and if you get a chattier employee, they will tell you part of the reason. First, some concerts have seats & some are SRO. You might want to ask in advance which yours is. Im disabled, so that would be a deal breaker for me. Standing on a sloping concrete floor for hours? Id be toast. But permanent seats are impossible because they have to remove them for certain shows.What are the seats like? They are sturdy (I have seen them hold 400+ lb concertgoers without a creak) & have a medium padding, but thats it for the plus side. They are also attached edge to edge with other seats, and open at the lower back, with little foot room, hip room, shoulder room. The staff is primarily young, so that must account for some of their lack of concern. The open backs provide no lumbar support, so I find myself squirming & fidgeting to ease my back pain. I have yet to attend a concert where I didnt become intimately familiar with my neighbors hips & shoulders...to the point that I could feel the music tempo to which theyre moving. Seriously! And I am not huge. I am an average middle aged woman, again, 52, and I have to sit with my body canted diagonally, my arm behind my former linebacker husband, just so he can fit, also sitting diagonally, one leg in the aisle, balancing part of his 6+ frame throughout the show. Its crazy! (Think of a plane seat.) But I give you these details so you can understand the mixed reviews. If youre a skinny young staffer type, you wont understand the complaints. If youre a normal sized over-40 patron, you will want to know these things.I saw quite a few people using canes at the last show. I hope they did better than I. During the concert I balanced my purse & bottled water in my lap*, and held my cane upright between my knees. Several times, though, with the fidgeting, my cane fell down & hit the stranger beside me. Thankfully, he understood.If the shows werent so good, I wouldnt even go back. As it is, my husband & I both require taking in advance a Vicodin & a muscle relaxer to take the edge off the pain caused by these seats during the concert (though the pain does break through). We hurt through the next day, too. *Remember, the floor is sloped concrete. Dont put your drink or purse on the floor. If you move in the tight leg area, or someone tries to walk past you to a middle seat, there likely will be a spill. And if someone behind you has a spill, it WILL roll downhill...like a beer did last concert.

The OPO is working hard to make this place better.The new space that can be used for meetings is really nice. I have been to 2 professional developments here and both were very good.

Great place to see bands. Good view of the stage no matter where your at. I look forward to more concerts here.

Great music venue. I love that the floors slope down towards the stage for a better view. Also free parking, which is rare for a venue this size close to downtown.

This is a great venue! Parking is free & drinks are not too expensive. The balcony has a seating area and the 1st floor is open. I bought my tickets online, it was very easy and fast.I love the size of this venue! If you want, you can really get close to the bands.

Its a cool intimate venue for things you want to see. Occasionally there are some surprisingly good people going through. No really bad seats in the house

Saw Queensryche here. Nice setting and decent acoustics. A hair on the small side for a bigger band but still enjoyable. Parking was great and amenities nearby

Great venue with on sight parking! Very clean inside with a great bar selection and plenty of room where the stage area is as well as balcony seating.

Awesome venue to see bands up close and personal. Located off of a main Street in Orlando makes it very convenient!

Say Robert Cray Band, awesome performance. The venue was great regarding acoustics, sound system, easy parking, access, lobby, bars. A little slice of old Orlando. My new favorite venue

An old movie house that has been nicely converted to a performing arts theater. Not terribly luxurious but very quaint and charming with plenty of parking and a nice lobby bar. Comfortable seating and small enough to have good views of the stage. Near downtown Orlando and nice places to eat pre or post performance.

The Plaza live is really cool. Stage, sound and lighting great.The friends bar just sucks, it’s the kind bar that even if you buy drinks, they won’t give you a glass of water. They would try to sell you a $4 bottle instead. Shame on them!

Truthlly I wished it had seats. We all had to stand. Even tho i bought T4 seats I had to stand for 2 hours plus one of waiting. The place is too small.

Ive been to this venue for two shows and really enjoyed it. I like that the floor is sloped so that if youre further back, you can still get a good view of the stage. Theres also a mezzanine if youd like to sit and watch from above! My only complaint is that the barricade at the very front has a little platform of a couple inches which the first two rows get to stand on. That means if youre third from the front its really hard to see unless youre super tall. But otherwise, great venue.

Free and easy parking, very loud and spacious but small venue with good security. Only the balcony has seating, bottom floor is open space. We enjoyed it besides blasting our eardrums right in front of the speakers. Next time we would get balcony seating!

Beautiful venue with AWESOME sound. Cant wait to see another show here. Plenty of free parking surrounding the building. And there was even a city cop watching the entrance and lot. Easily used our digital tickets and found our seats. Seats are folding chairs, so slightly uncomfortable at the end of our show, but great view from row G.

Fun little place. Love that it has a very intimate setting so it’s like no matter where you’re sitting, you have a great seat to see the stage and you’re close. Building itself is a bit old and run down, and the seats are the furthest thing from comfortable after 2 hours, but it’s a great little place for cheap entertainment.

Great local venue! They have really done a lot to improve. Great place to see popular music that does not go to the big arenas.

Great sound. Excellent parking.

Went for #orlandophil kids story and music. Second time for this. Venue is old but your kids can get very close to stage and it’s good practice for them to learn about music and be quiet for concerts.Sad we have to go through metal detector for kids show but this is where Christina Grimme was killed.Lots of restaurants nearby and plenty of parking.I love the milk district!

First time going there... did have 4th row center seats but I believe any seat would be a good one... Great place to see a show...

The venue alone is alright. But the security gaurds are a bunch of kooks! Tried to confiscate a friends go pro for filming the show even though everyone was filming on their phones? Opening act gave out free rave masks but the securitu guards announced that ANYONE wearing the mask would be kicked out with no refund .In another instance one of my friends was kicked out for crowd surfing at a rock show.And another time for sitting down in the lobby to take a break was threatened to be kicked out.The security guards are power hungry and will find any reason to throw someone out without a refund

We were able to go see Tommy Emmanuel here! So glad we did! He was amazing.

Small venues comes with amazing acoustics. Small venues also mean lots of people with little room. Overall Queensryche was an amazing experience.

I come here for Gaelic storm. Every year I enjoy myself and never disappointed. The venue is always clean, staff is friendly and helpful. Parking is tight but if you arnt there early are you really a fan of whom you are going to see lol.

Friendly and efficient entry and seating. great show with Kenny G!

Snarky Puppy was amazing, of course, but thats not what earned this venue 5 stars. Parking was free, bar prices were reasonable, seats were decently comfortable, but still not 5-star worthy. What really got the 5, what really pushed it over the edge and made The Plaza Live stand out from other music venues was that they. kept. it. brisk. It was nice and chilly at the start, and by concerts end when youre usually sweaty and uncomfortable in a room full of people and hot lights, the temperature was still pleasant. If more venues learned to crank the AC, concerts would be more enjoyable across the board. Well done, Plaza. Thanks for a great night.

One of the best live venues in Orlando they get all types of shows there Ive never had a bad time. So close to good stuff in the Milk District too... Eat at Pom Poms... Pregame at sportstown or whiskey lous

Nice venue, typical alcohol prices and fair sound system. Parking is easy, staff is super friendly and kept clean. Will attend more events here in the future.

Parking lot is huge, and parking is free. Saw a rock concert so there was no seating in general admission, but there where seats in the balcony. The floor is sloaped so everyone was able to see. The drinks were a bit pricey, but its Orlando was not suprised. They did have a bit of an issue with the VIP passes, not sure if it was an issue with the AXS ticket app or the venue or simply operator error, but they did work diligently to correct it. Leaving the venue was easy, it was really close to SR 50 so there were no confusing roads to have to navigate. All in all we had an amazing time here.

Place is very dated.. Ive seen grade school auditoriums nicer than this place. Folding chairs, REALLY???? LET ME KNOW WHEN THIS PLACE CATCHES UP TO 2019. THEN ILL COME BACK.

Small venue great for getting close to performance. Good ambiance

The Fab Four was an amazing show! We will see them again! The Plaza Live is a nice venue.

Great venue! Get up close with the band. Friendly staff.

Great place not too big and not to small. Was there for a concert Boney James always put on a great show that I always attend. My problem is parking.

Ive been to quite a few shows here over the years. Always a good time. For me personally, the best part about this venue is the ease of entry and exit of the parking. Ive never had to sit in traffic like the other concert venues.

I appreciate the size of the venue, but something needs to be addressed about the air conditioning and ventilation. Both times I have attended shows here, I have felt uncomfortably hot. Performers would also complain ON STAGE that it felt hot inside the venue. The air inside is still and sweltering. At the moment, the building is unable to accommodate for it. Do something about it!

I went there with my brother and a few friends to see an old band called The Outlaws one of my favorite bands had an outstanding time the venue was awesome and would recommend it for shows you just dont see anywhere else

The Plaza is one of our all time favorite venues for intimate, GREAT music experiences!

Nice size venue. Lots of locals. Friendly blend of small town and fun

This place is great, the staff is friendly and the bathrooms are clean. The main area didn’t get too hot during the show despite close to 1,000 people being present. There is also a good amount of parking.

Not a bad seat in the place,acoustics were excellent, staff friendly and helpful, they get really good bands also.Orlando needed a place like the Plaza Live.

I love this place. they have great staff and the last time we went for crown the empire with our 6 year old daughter she had a blast. they are great and they check for weapons, its just a nice old venue in a nice little area where you can get drinks or food waiting for the show to start.

This place is really cool. 1 thing is I do not really like the food. (Also this is where Christina Grimmie is shot)

Great venue! Staff was friendly and the show was great.

Nice little venue. Lots of great bands roll through. Easy process at the door, drinks at the bars and music

Great venue. Take balcony if you want to sit down. Otherwise the main floor is fun for being close and dancing. Note drinks are very expensive but what choice do you have. Stick with beer to save a buck or go all out with double double titos

Good size venue for close up and intimate shows, but has enough room for bigger acts, including a balcony. The location was good, close to other attractions, good parking, clean and organized.

Attended the Orlando Philharmonic tonight -- that was great. The venue itself leaves a lot to be desired. First of all, temperature control in the hall is awful. The seating area freezes while the stage is hot. Very uncomfortable. The seating is appropriate for a church fellowship hall, not a professional venue. Couldnt wait for the concert to be over so I could get feeling back in my butt.

This is a nice place! Its a small venue, but that lets you see more of the stage. The staff was nice and friendly. Theres also free parking!!! The sound was excellent and I cant wait to see more shows here.

Venue is simple, but clean and well put together. Show was great, would go again.

Best place to go concert !

Being to this venue two different times, once to see puddles and once to see Asking Alexandria, both very different shows and both time we really enjoyed this place.

Ive been here twice now for two events and would not recommend it to anyone. When approaching capacity, the A/C doesnt hold up and the place runs hot and odorous. The seating consists of extremely uncomfortable chairs welded together in bench format, and the markup for drinks and snacks eclipses strip club prices.Truly awful venue. If you have to go, dress cool, and pregame/eat beforehand, or prepare for your wallet to get torched.

Solid venue with solid acoustics!

Nice intimate venue. Plenty of parking, easy to get too. Chairs were a bit uncomfortable but I would definitely go back.

Great venue. Nice bartenders. Great acts. I wish the shows didnt sell out so often

Seats a little tight, but the sound was great.

Great venue. Saw Tommy Emmanuel there and had a great time.

Good bar and nice intimate venue, yet large enough to fit a decent size crowd.

Great show, war on the catwalk was great and I can’t wait to back for Werq the World. Seated event and the chairs are metal, fold out ones. The venue is small and intimate, even though I was half way back I had a good view.

Just saw rick wakemanVery nice place to see a midsize show. Great a/C. Good bars. Clean restrooms. Good acoustics. Seating is a little tight. Small seats with no arm rests. Get ready to meet your neighbor.

Nice venue, good sound quality. Went for the Big G show but they need to do something about the bathroom situation (waiting in lines up to 10 min) and same at the bar. Other than that, it was a great night!

Great place for a show. Not a bad seat in the house.

Good venue for musical performances. Sound fills the room. Easy to get to and find parking.

Very cool midsized venue. I didnt try any of the drinks, so I cant speak on that, but the location is nice and theres plenty of parking. Getting in and out is simple. I was there for the Schmoedown, it was a blast.

Big enough to give a real concert experience, small enough to be intimate, and smart enough to have standing AND Sitting room.

Venue runs the shiws well. Really need a better group of artists and less unknowns.

Free and plenty parking. Friendly staff. Lots of food options available nearby. Would love to come here again.

Teriffic small venue with decent accustics. This used to be a movie theater which is nice because the GA area is sloped so that no matter where you stand you can see. Had a blast here and for the low ticket prices and quality shows you will too. I recomend arriving early and buying tickets online in advance (cheaper).

I went to this venue to see Kim Petras Clarity concert and it was amazing. The venues main hall is pretty big and spacious. The womens bathroom was clean and nicely lit. I had a good expierences overall.

Great performance from queensrÿche! Great view from everywhere.

Love Wynonna judd

Bob Saget was great! Easy to get around.

So nice to have an intimate venue in Orlando. Great seats and generally more affordable than other options around town. Parking is oh so easy and of course free. Ample restrooms. Good bar with friendly servers as were the ushers. Keep this place on your radar for events.

Good venue. Good sight lines. Free parking.

Great venue! Intimate and great sound mixing

This is a cool little venue. I hope they start getting more shows because they do it well.
