About 10 yrs ago or better....(yikes! Im getting old!) I saw BUCKET HEAD not once, but TWO TIMES at Vinyl! I wish I had pics, but i do still have 2 awesome dolls that Bucket HEAD himself handed me. Two separate shows and i received a present FIRST at both shows! I felt so special and will always remember these 2 fantastic shows! Vinyl has a great venue. Its a perfect place for a show, and Im sure it has only gotten better with time! If you dont know anything about Bucket HEAD...look him up!!! An amazing artist, guitarist, and performer! Best days ever! I also played his guitar while he was on stage! Hands down one of the most FANTASTICAL moments of my life!

Great place. Small. Intimate. Never know who you will see. Worth it. Usually very inexpensive standing room. Revamped upstairs and bar recently!

This is a great music venue is big enough to get some fantastic acts in there but yet small enough to still be intimate. The sound system is phenomenal and the staff are awesome. Located in downtown Pensacola close to some great restaurants and lots of art.

Saw Sum 41and Assuming We Survive in concert. This was my first time at Vinyl and we really enjoyed it. They are super organized, so getting in and getting drinks is fast and easy. It is cold at first, so be prepared for that.

I love the burlesque shows here. Theres always a venue for someone to enjoy. They have events for all age ranges so you will be able to find something to take your kids to also. The staff is very nice and there is good bar there and an outdoor smoking area. ~ Carol H.

I do sound and manage production for an artist that played here and I can’t say enough good things about this venue and staff. They were very welcoming and the PA was top notch. Guaranteed great sound at this place. Thank you!!

I have seen shows in huge arenas and in amphitheaters and I prefer small venues like this. I went to see one of my favorite bands, Avatar, at Vinyl and it was great! Aside from the pole blocking my view from the side, it was still amazing. Got there for doors and was able to secure a front row spot. Bathrooms were clean, beer prices were reasonable, and the general atmosphere lent itself well to the show. Location also great, being near places to eat and park.

Pretty cool venue! They usually have many diffent kinds of bands playing. When I went it was pretty hot, probably due to all the bodies! I was near the front so I was able to stay away from the moshing. But there are guys there looking for girls. I saw one buy an underage female a drink. So watch out for things like that. Overall it was a great experience, but the staff needs to watch whats going on. Also. Everything is way overpriced! Except water. Thats always free usually. The security is nice, but they cant see everything!

Non smoking intimate setting venue. Some shows have chairs and tables unavailable, some dont. Sometimes you can go upstairs, but other shows you cant. Restrooms are usually clean before the shows. Sound and lighting is reallly good. I really enjoy the venue (except when there are no chairs since i have a foot issuensnd cant stand on concrete for long). Love having NOLA bands play here

Amazing staff and security service. Security staff maintains a safe atmosphere while maintaining optimal crowd enjoyment. Sounds hard to achieve, but they somehow have mastered it. Just saw Light the Torch and Ice Nine Kills. Staff at this location are amazing.

Great venue! Drinks are expensive. If you want a seat pay extra to go upstairs! I loved just being able to relax and enjoy the show! No food there but if your nice to the staff they will be nice to you and let you get something to eat.

Its a small enough and large enough venue for an nice show even at sold-out capacity which is what it was for JJ Grey and Mofro and it was excellent. I wish the tickets were just a little cheaper in general. Im a poor girl that loves live music in small venues.

Review №24

Hard to believe you buy a $15 ticket and then when you get in, they want to charge $20 a seat to sit down in the balcony. The seats were clearly not being used in the balcony, as there were only about 100 people for this show and we got there early in order to get a seat.On their website its states In some cases, limited seating is available on a strictly first come, first serve basis. Fair enough.We were part of the first 10 to be in line and get in. But we were told no sitting in the seats was allowed even though they were not being used. So much for first come fist serve.When it came right done to it. They wanted money for you to sit down. They stationed an employee at the stairs (that leads up to the balcony and the chairs) and he was collecting $20/person for per seat.So, we each had to pay $20 a seat in addition to $15/ticket to sit on on cheap chairs in the balcony. Others, chose to do the same thing as well.No where does it say (on their site or at the venue), give us $20 an we will let you sit, but thats exactly what happened.On top of that, my wife had 2 extra charges on her tab for drinks she never ordered.Having said all that, the the Heart Tribute band (Avalon) was great and the sound was good.

Review №31

Saw In Flames here last week and was easily the best concert Ive been to. Tickets are reasonable and we got there an hour before doors opened, were front row at the show. The place is pretty small, but I prefer them that way over a convention center or arena where Im packed in with smelly dudes. The sound system was pretty good for the heavy metal sound and even when the place got full for the main band, the AC inside was very tolerable. I will be keeping an eye out for future shows at this place.

Great small venue, I cant recall a show where the bands were not accessible. Drink prices are at a premium, at least they have a call well. Would prefer this venue over any in the area.

Love this place! They get plenty of bands I want to see. The atmosphere is fantastic. Warning: there is only one place to sit and that in the restroom. So wear your comfy shoes. Bring cash to purchase band gear!

Review №34

After moving out of Pensacola, I am convinced I will never find another venue like this. Almost every one of my favorite concerts (and Ive been to 70+) has been right here on this stage. The vibe is always so intimate, and simultaneously has like a house party atmosphere. I am ruined forever and struggle to enjoy larger venues now.

Fantastic venue! Love going to shows here. The atmosphere is great, too. My only complaint is, there is no way to contact this venue! The phone numbers go straight to TicketFly, and you usually have to hold for at least 15-20 minutes :(

Review №41

Great little place for a concert. Nearly zero seating. Wear comfortable shoes. You have to buy VIP tickets to sit down. Bars are fast. Many complaints in reviews about expensive drinks. For this type of venue, they are about par for the course. Bathrooms are clean and new. We loved the good parking and restaurants close by before the concert. We will likely visit the Vinyl Music Hall again.

If Goldilocks visited here shed say, its not too big and its not too small. Its just right! This is my favorite place to go see a show and one of my favorite bands The Melvins come there on a regular basis. I dont know how they keep their bathrooms so clean but its one of the cleanest Ive ever seen and the artwork on the stall doors is really cool. FYI...Mudbugs in Gulf Shores has the worst bathrooms on the Gulf Coast. They smell and look like a Port-O-Potty.

Review №54

Saw Spafford here over the summer. The venue has an intimate vibe which is very welcoming. Nice long bar with friendly staff. Clean bathrooms for a smaller venue. I didnt get a Chance to check out the upper..... apparently they have seats on the balcony-ish above. My reason for only three stars. The stage is off to one side of the venue. It would be like moving your television up against one of the side walls instead of centering it in the wall. This was mildly distracting to me as there is a lot of movement around the bar and bathrooms on the side. If the bar and bathrooms were to my back it wouldnt be an issue.The sound was the biggest distraction...at times I felt like I was in a tin can.This was also the only indoor venue Ive been where I left and woke up with a ringing in my ears. My wife also experienced the ringing. That is unacceptable for me and has hindered my return. Now Im not an expert so I dont know if this was on the sound guy or the architecture. But if it happens a second time I wont be back.This is not meant as a complaint. We had a great time with friends and really enjoyed the show. Im simply sharing my personal experience. Especially, if the ringing is a common occurrence.

The remodeling done really adds to the place. There is now a mezzanine where you can get a better view of the stage if your not right up front, but its not a big venue so you can see the stage from anywhere. Nice venue just need bigger acts.

Review №75

This is a great venue, very intimate. My only issue is the timing of the show. According to the tickets and advertising the show started at 7:00. However when we arrived we were told the DJ came on at 7:45 and the actual show started at 9:00. Fortunately the location is in the heart of historic Pensacola and we were able to stroll along Palafox where there are many bars and shops. So even though the timing issue wasnt good, we still enjoyed the evening and topped it off with a great show.

This could be a great place and could also have alot of potential. 6 thumbs down for the 6 disappointments. We left before the show even started, a $30 lesson to not return.

Review №84

This venue is great for catching bigger touring artists, but thats about it. Ticket prices have nearly doubled for most events, and promotion is limited. Sound is nice, and the place looks great, though. My main beef was with the bar setup. Everything at the bar is hooked up to a little soda gun with a button for whatever you want. The Whiskey and Coke I paid $8 + tip for was the weakest drink I ever paid the price of 3 drinks for, and the gun took away the need for all six bartenders I saw just standing around, every so often pushing a button. Overall, it is a nice venue, and its cool to see more artists coming to Pensacola, but you need to be pretty well off financially to enjoy it.

Review №85

Box office was closed during the hours it was posted to be open. Sucks when you make a special trip there, find parking, and walk to the box office in 100° heat just to find its closed. Worse yet when it could be easily run by the people that are there.

Vinyl Music Hall is a great place to catch an inexpensive show on a weekend. Ive been there several times & have enjoyed myself each time that I went.

My favorite small venue to catch smaller acts and local talent. I love this place and what it does for the community! I try to make it to as many shows as I can....the down side is, a lit of the shows are weeknight shows. Makes it kind of hard to make it during the week but occasionally I do.
