The Fillmore Silver Spring

Treating myself out. What an amazing place! Its beautiful and from art on the walls, soft live band, classic cocktails, and food. Im in heave.The bartenders are kind and know their drinks, the food looks and taste stunning.

One of the best venues Ive ever been to! Their audio system is top notch. Lighting rig is fantastic as well. If you go there for a show, you will not be disappointed.

Great bands. Nice crowd of friendly people. Almost Queen Band was phenomenal. It doesnt take long and you forget youre standing up all night!

The Fillmore doesnt get the big name acts that the DC venues get, like the 9:30 Club, Black Cat or the Anthem. But, its a great venue. I was going to give it 4 stars but really had no reason not give them 5. Its easy to get to by Metro, the floor and balcony layouts give you good opportunities to see the stage well, the audience (for the show I went to) didnt crowd me or invade my space, and most of all the people working there were super nice. I saw bouncers in front of the stage giving people water, they resolved some scuffle in seconds, and checked to make sure everyone was ok, and the line moved quickly getting in out of the cold.I stood on the second balcony and had a pretty decent view, the first balcony has VIP seating so looks like its worth it to last extra if you want to sit. The lighting and chandeliers were gorgeous.

Nice place! Music was great and I love that theres bars on both sides for convenience!

Decent place to see live acts in the DC metro area. It would be better if they had more seating for upgrading from general admission/standing. As it is, they have a small table service area at the back of the balcony and stadium two rows of (super tight) stadium seats along the two sides that are self service. Drinks are very expensive. Decent sound system. Near silver spring metro station (4 blocks or so) on the red line.

This is a nice, little venue. Intimate setting where youre close to the band and couldnt have been more than a few hundred in the audience. Security did a good job and kept a good balance of fun and safety. Good staff

Great venue to see a show. Not a huge place so you can see the stage pretty well from the main floor. If you like a better view and dont mind being a little further from the action head upstairs to the balcony. Bars are setup nicely for quick service without having to miss any of the show. Staff were super friendly and professional.

Nice Small venue to see a concert. General Admission tickets were $55 which is affordable. Standing room only I was able to get good lines to see the stage. I saw DMX Hes back babyyyyyyy!!!

The Fillmore was a really great venue, clean place and from what I can tell really nice staff. During intermission they even handed out little cups of water! I have never been to a venue that does that! Parking was a little confusing, not sure if it was supposed to be free or paid for. So we paid $10 to park right around the corner behind the venue. Also there were like 4 admission lines. One called Fastlane, that was allowed in first, along with Vertigo for the balcony seating. General admission was let in last which was where we were. Fast Lane was pretty full of a line for this show and it limited how close we got to the stage. We were very far left but still could see the show clearly on the barrier but would have been better if we got in with Fast Lane. I didnt see anywhere having that offered. So I dont know how to obtain it.

Well ventilated with amazing air conditioning. It kept even the most crowded areas cool. And the bar downstairs was very well organized. All in all, an amazing venue

Saw a hip hop show here and had a great time. Plenty of room for dancing with two levels. They have multiple large bars so there was never a wait for drinks. Sound was excellent!

Its The Place for music in the Maryland suburbs.They get every type of musical act one could imagine. Nice venue with good sight lines nearly every where. Lots of parking nearby in the municipal garages. Try the one on Cameron St. for easy access.Many shows are standing room general admission, though some have assigned seats; make sure you check before you buy your tickets.Cant wait for my favorite bands to come through to this awesome little corner of Silver Spring!

The venue was disorganized and slow at checking people through the doors. In their hurry we got shuffled about with little direction and were confused. The show started an hour late because they hadnt gotten everyone in the doors yet and the band wanted everyone who bought tickets to be able to see the show. Kudos to the band! And at the end of the night they wanted to close the main hall to clean and caused confusion for the merchandise line which added a lot of time if you were waiting to buy something. Soda was outrageously priced for a red solo cup of pop... All in all I wasnt very impressed with this venue and if you get standing room only dont be short or you aint gonna see nothing except peoples hands or heads...the band was awesome though and was worth the experience at least one. Not sure if Ill return though.

This venue has decent views from wherever you are standing and the sound quality is great! The lighting is always solid here. As others have said the drinks are a bit pricey here. Additionally, the A/C is always blasting in the back third of the venue. The whole show a lot of people were complaining about being cold and it can be a bit of a distraction during the concert.

Very nice venue but dont like the bar policy. Must pay each time you order. No real food

Very nice venue with lots of great acts and many styles of music. VIP section is cool but also good if you dont want to be crowded on the floor. The staff is the greatest by far especially John and his supervisor. Will definitely be back again.

We came for a New Found Glory concert and they were amazing! We ordered drinks and food (a bit overpriced but expected). We paid additional for VIP passes. When we ordered our food, we ordered sliders but the waitress said we could not make any changes to the food which was odd because we were only asking for the toppings to be left off (onions, tomatoes, and sauce). Didnt ruin our time but will certainly eat somewhere else next time.

This venue stop with Bone Thugs n Harmony and myself @Zobeone

This venue has a great atmosphere with a VIP (You must call the venue ahead of time to book this portion that is seated above the sound deck) There is also a basement level bar that gives you access to watch the performances.

This is a very nice venue: clean, good sound, plenty of parking nearby (and public transportation), and nice staff. Id go here again. I believe its capacity is ~2000 guests, so mid sized acts will be booked here - its not an intimate hole in the wall nor an arena, so youre not going to see ginormous bands or up and coming unknowns. Somewhere in the middle, the acquired taste bands with a solid following will come here. Its a good place to see them. If you can, get balcony seats; they have stadium seating up there for a much better view. Downstairs (when I went) was general admission standing only, which is ok but not great for seeing the stage.

Great venue for a concert. We didnt want to stand the whole concert, so purchased seating in the VIP section. Prices for food and drinks were surprisingly reasonable, given the event. We had the churros, and they were delicious. We were close enough to the stage to see clearly, and comfortable in the seats with a table and wait staff. Overall, I would definitely look forward to going back again, and strongly recommend the VIP package.

Nice venue with a wide range of genres playing here. very organized entry procedure with little hassle. coat check and bar on bottom level. upper level is balcony VIP area with seats and standing room.courteous bartenders with quick service. never attended a bad show here.

I love this venue. Ive been to 2 different metal shows here and the sound is always very well setup and clear. I really like the size of the place...you always feel close to the stage. The bars move quickly and its in a great location with food options nearby.

Eric Johnson show was phenomenal! Upgraded our seats to the balcony tables. Very nice! Not a bad seat in the building. Parking was easily accessible. Thanks for the memorable time.

Best place to see up and coming artists. If you are following a new artist and one of their stops is at the Fillmore Silver Spring, dont hesitate to purchase a ticket asap!! Also, closer to the date of the event, the venue release seats on the balcony level for an additional fee ($50-$100). If you arent interested in the mosh pit, buy the seat!

A little strict on check in but nice place for shows. Lighting was on point for the Eric Nam concert!!

Went for the 1st time last night and hands down the best venue Ive ever been to in DC. Security and employees were all pleasant, and the bartenders were great! The quality of the drinks definitely makes the price decent, and really, especially in DC, their drink prices werent bad at all. We definitely tipped our bartenders $5-10 each time because of this. Will definitely go again! I loved this venue.

I went for a concert. The staff was ill-prepared to handle the crowd, which delayed the beginning of the concert by 2 hours. The drinks were outrageously priced. The concert was good, once it started, so Ill give it 3 stars. They should really have a lessons learned session from that one, in order to do better for future concerts.

Great venue that books killer acts. Staff are universally great, from ticket office to security to bartenders. Drink prices are a bit... optimistic but worth it. Not a bad spot in the house and even when sold out, not too crowded. Fantastic venue. Buy directly from the box office to save $5 at minimum.

Pretty good music venue. Glad they always have metal shows here. I do not think the sound system is that great but overall a decent venue.

What a great way to have an up close experience. Small venue but intimate.

Wow who knew this was here this is a beautiful Club Im very safe secure clean spacious comfortable oh, wow! The restrooms on the top floor or the cleanest and how are they used consider that when visiting this classy establishment.

Its gotten way better since Ive been younger. I think the production team knows how to handle the crowd better.

Awesome venue! The staff is super friendly and very courteous! The facility is clean and well kept! The stage and the floor arean awesome design! The stage is raised up so everyone can see no matter where you are! The floor is wide so everyone can spread out nicely! I would not hesitate to see another show here! I just saw machine head tonight who put on a hell of a show, and have the pleasure of coming back next month to see opeth! Looking forward to it Fillmore! Keep this up and youll have a patron for life!

Had a wonderful experience here on Thursday night December 12. My husband and I came out and enjoyed the Chase Rice concert. Really friendly crowd and staff. I want to give a big shot out to Holly (bartender) at the bar for really making us feel welcomed and the hospitable service.

1st time.$9 for Jameson Neat$15 Large StellaNot for a concert but final auditions for 2018-19 Redskins Cheerleaders. Great experience. Bartenders were accommodating.. guess cause I was one of few drinking.

Surprisingly small venue. Security was impeccable. Went to see BANK$ perform and the only thing I didn’t like was being in the front and the photographers blocking your view. Otherwise, gr8 experience️

Tech N9ne and everyone else absolutely killed it. Also the security was super awesome. They helped my kids out by getting them blocks to stand on and see better. And also came over with some water for them and was really helpful. All the staff was courteous and welcoming. Loved the Fillmore.

My most recent experience at The Filmore Silver Springs was poor. Mainly becsuse of the super intrusive shakedown before entry. I was first denied entry because of an INK PEN! Told I could throw it away or take it back to my car. They are worse than TSA. I saw them actually look through a mans wallet and rifle his cash. My pen was nice so I had to leave to secure it and come back. When I came back, I had my pockets empty and approached the security guy to be checked with metal detector wand. I informed him I had replaced hips that may trigger wand. He says, well can I pat you down then. What in the world! I told him, this process is entirely too intrusive. He then told me to go in. I understand the need for safety but I have a need for dignity as well. Not sure I will return to that venue. The show was okay. If I hadnt already paid for ticket, I wouldnt have gone in there.

Great local venue for live music. Standing room only with a VIP section on the second floor with tables (very expensive). They also have reserved seating on the second level, on the side. When they first opened I was able to pay $25.00 for a seat. The last time I went they wanted $125.00, and they sold out. Just goes to show you how much expendable income people have in Montgomery County. I gave a four star rating only because of the outrageous cost of the paid seating. Otherwise the venue is great and they bring fantastic acts to the area.

I like the convenient location. Know that this is a standing venue unless you get special seating such as the balcony. Nice backdrops for pictures too. I enjoyed The Internet tour it was an unexpected birthday experience. I had never heard of The Internet before that night. It was a nice show. We got there a little late but before the show started so we stood on the balcony by the speaker.

Went to see sabaton. Great venue! Will definately be back.

Was there for Eric Nam concert on Feb. 16, 2020. Nice and small theater. Friendly staff, public parking and restaurants near. Overall enjoyed a great night out.

It is a cool venue, but this night was SO crowded, I was worried that if there happened to be an emergency, people wouldnt be able to get the help they need. One thing I LOVED is that in between bands, security was handing out water to the people in the pit. That was cool.

This place runs like a well oiled machine! The staff is great, security is attentive and knows whats going on, the stage crew was amazing and they have a crew that comes through in between each band and passes out water to the front rows. Thats true responsible club ownership!! Its expensive but its a concert venue, I expect that. The only reason I give 4 stars instead of 5 is the all ages thing. There were little kids on the floor, right next to the pit on a weeknight at 11pm. It made me uncomfortable just watching it. I understand the value of all ages for shows, however, 18+ or even 16+ is reasonable but 5 year olds (in my humble opinion) dont belong next to the pit at a metal show.

Not a bad event location. Went to see Almost Selena

Great venue with decent space, friendly staff, and good bartenders. Drinks are pricey at $13 a draft but thats to be expected. Come early, and be mindful of what you can and cannot bring.- Vapes are allowed ( unless restricted by the performing acts) as are cigarettes, however Tanks are the best choice as any bottles of juice are not allowed. There is an out door smoking section as well.- No knives or suspicious combinations of things. (Possibly dangerous materials if combined, etc.).- No flashlights ( I brought my EDC and had to give it to someone of site to watch.)- Saw some dudes wearing fanny packs as chest sashes, vests also work to hold belongings, purses with thin strings probably arent great for rock concerts. Youll have to empty your pockets for inspection before entering with a full body metal detector sweep, ankle check, and ID check.- Have one drink before going if you are on a budget. As always plan a ride home for safe travel too.Now for some positives.This was my first concert Ive ever been to. A buddy from out of town pulled me in as something to do. It was fantastic. Everyone was nice, understanding, and clearly communicated(a difficult task in a metal concert environment). Drinks were served cold and by friendly staff who appreciated tips (Make sure to tip and plan ahead for it ). There were merchandise stands off to the side, active security, and police on standby due to recent events in America as a whole. The whole experience was fun, inviting safe, and a must go for anyone in Silver Spring. Bars and restaurants open late nearby provide food options up to about 11pm. Silver spring and Takoma are a few blocks walking distance and cover charge for our show was about $40 with another guy who was more frequently there saying hes paid as high as $83.( Check for your specific show before going.)Overall, for a first time concert goer, Ill be back, and Ill tell others about this great medium sized spot with affordable prices and close to metro.

Love this venue! Small and easy to get to, nice and intimate so you feel like you are really there with the preforming artists. Easy bar access and usually there is a free range upstairs, sometimes VIP, depending on the night. Overall great little concert venue really convenient to metro and great restaurants too!

Amazing venue. They are friendly and helpful towards anyone with disabilities and the place is always clean. I always have a great time when I go there.

Went to see Stephen Marley and family and they did not disappoint. First time at the Fillmore. Lovely venue. Will definitely go back.

Very nice venue with plenty of room and you can see the stage no matter where youre at. Everything is very conveniently located and I love the fact theres 3 different bars so theres little to no wait to get a drink.

I attended The Cult show on 12/08/19. It was my 1st time attending a concert there and I thoroughly enjoyed my experience. There is a balcony section and a floor section as well. If you dont mind standing for an entire show then youll love it as much as I did. Parking is close by and is free on Sundays .

Great venue. Easy to get around and well kept rest rooms. Bar is easy access and the most important, the sound is great. Staff is quick and efficient.

Loved it! Not too big, not to small. Acoustics were great and so was Michael Franti!

Absolutely awesome and insanely safe vibes. Killer venue. Justice and Josh held it down and kept all of us safe. Highly recommended venue

Iconic venue well suited for live performances. Be prepared to stand for prolonged periods (wear comfortable shoes!) or pay a bit extra to sit in the mezzanine area (with food and servers). For parking, park in one of the nearby garage or try your hand at availability for street parking.

A surprisingly great venue. Setup is extremely reminiscent of The Anthem and some great bands/artists swing through there. Its not near the heart of the city, but its right off the Metro stop. Bonus: the AC in their is a work of art. Im the first to start sweating at the suggestion of motion. I danced my way through a whole concert and didnt even break a sweat. Glorious.

When you pay $50 for a ticket somewhere you would hope you would be able to get to see the show at some vantage point. But the venue had definitely oversold and they werent letting any of anybody in the general admission area so youre only choices were to try and squeeze in somewhere on a balcony that was completely saturated with people. Basically unless you are over 5 ft 8 dont go to this venue. Although the staff were very nice there was nothing they could really do and its super difficult to have people tell you who are very tall that you can just go anywhere and get a good view. Especially if youre short. I finally did find a good spot and the venue staff kicked me out from where that was. So I cannot at all recommend this venue for anybody who is not 5 ft 8 or taller.

Great venue. Sound was good, and place was clean. Kind of an upscale Ramshead or 930 Club. Only problem was finding a parking place. Lots of decks around, but theyre a few blocks away. (Not a bad walk though.)

Close up front to the music, easy parking. Nice not being in DC or Baltimore.

Solid venue. No mosh control, so beware. Lots of bars close to the action if youre into that kinda thing. Small space, and the sound isnt that great to be honest. Id still go back

Not an over priced place of entertainment, which is wonderful. Decent concert location with upper VIP area and bars on the side. Very good sound system as well. It is a smaller concert hall with a smaller stage and no seating, but still very nice.

Solid venue. Staff were polite and seemed like they actually liked their jobs, unlike most of the staff in DC venues. The sound and light guys were a little off but not the biggest deal. Would recommend and will revisit.

Been there 2x. Nice neighborhood. Good beer. Can get very cramped and crowded. Lost a shoe in the pit once. Didnt die. Got it back in the end. Would mosh again. Metal.

The Fillmore is an objectively nicer, more suburbanly-accessible 9:30 club. Some of the same issues as 9:30 with acoustics and vocal/instrumental volume balance, but if you know that going in and arent expecting an acoustic-like set, youre going to love it. Some really great artists roll through.

This was my first time visiting The Fillmore and was truly amazed at the organization of all the staff. From Bingo acknowledging the crowd line outside giving them directions for a smooth entrance to the building. To the bouncers making sure no one got hurt from the crowd surfing. Even the coat checkout was organized and quick.

Great Venue and Loved the show ...

I love this Venmo for smaller shows. The floor is a giant GA pit but it also has some seating along the balcony. You can get special seating for VIP tables as well. There’s multiples in the venue. Also the security is generally better than other places I’ve been.

Had so much fun at the Burna Boy concert! The place was organized and clean.

Show was great (Lamb of God), the sound on the floor wasnt great, but the balcony was better...its just really warm up there. Bartenders were on point. Overall a good venue for live music.

Attended quite a few events here, and enjoyed myself each time. Not as huge as some other concert venues...which is why I like it. The shows feel more personal... And the acts are usually more engaging here.

Came here to see Residente. I was blown away. Its a very nice venue, with good drinks and even food. Plenty of space and very clean. The sound quality wasnt where I would hope it would be but not bad at all. I will definitely be back for more shows

Excellent venue. Reminds me alot of the Troc in Philly. Great acts come through here regularly and I will be keeping a close eye on the schedule. Parking round back was 10 dollars and a 3 min walk to the door. Saw Opeth and Graveyard!

Sound quality was amazing. Felt very safe. Bartenders were friendly and quick. Drinks were fairly priced. SOUND QUALITY WAS AMAZING.

Place was ran well, great sound, and friendly staff. Only cons were watered down mixed drinks, and 5 bucks for bottled water. Guess you gotta pay to play.

I love this venue. Its fairly small. You can get pretty close if you get there early enough and they hand out free water to the first 5 or so rows!

Huge show at at great venue with plenty of staff and amenities. Fantastic service.

Awesome venue for concerts. Saw Flogging Molly in late February and really enjoyed the place.

Very organized! I went to a Amy Winehouse tribute here. Entering the facility was hassle free. Be prepared to have your bags checked and be wanded and pat down. Dont expect a great eating menu, it was also pricey. However there are great eating places all around! There are 3 levels but the 3rd level is VIP that is where you can be seated while watching the show. There are no seats on the main floor which is the stage floor.

Small venue, which is fantastic! The drinks are a little steep but its too be expected. Great sound all over the venue.

The venue was great. I love the way it was laid out it didnt matter where you were you were going to see the concert. The drinks were crazy expensive so if I were you I would pre drink and maybe have one or two there. I would suggest spending the extra $25 and getting a chair upstairs if you have that option.

Awesome place. Great sound. Great views from almost anywhere.

Friendly safe general admission music venue to see emerging and newly acclaimed musical acts. Very good acoustics. Good bars and light fare. Not too crowded. Very fun time...

Very nice venue with food parking nearby. Nice lounge down stairs with monitors for watching the line show.

When we were told about the ticket process by staff(twice), it wasnt mentioned about where to go for will call tickets, so I had to get back out of line after waiting for so long(3 hours or more) to get a good spot for the show and go to the will call window. I also wasnt allowed in this venue with pepper spray. I understand how a venue might not want a weapon of any kind in a venue(in fact Im glad they check bags/people).. but, I was also parked in the parking garage which was a little bit of distance away and dont feel safe(especially in a big city like silver spring) not carrying pepper spray with me. I wasnt even allowed to keep it with the items in coat check if I wanted to, so it was thrown away. Instead of pouring me a glass of water at the bar when they ran out of the water jug available for every one to use, I was told to go downstairs to get water. I shouldve asked for them to pour me a glass of water instead but I didnt think it would get me far after the encounters I mentioned in previous sentences. I spent most of the day standing and walking, so my body was very tired and it would have been easier to get water upstairs. However, I will say a member of staff gave me earplugs free of charge and other staff encounters I had were good. The show was good too of course, and thats what I(and everyone) was there for.

I been here a few times over the years but was recently here twice in just a few weeks. It is really a solid venue with really plenty of what you want in a music venue. A lot of big long bars. An upper level with lots of different little areas and levels that you can get a good view of the stage from. If there is one downside Id say it is the weirdly organized security process that takes place outside mostly but then continues inside if you need to get a bracelet for drinks. Again overall great venue for a concert with some nice VIP spaces if you arent as young as you once were and not looking to mix it up in the pit.

Terrible customer service. Employees are rude and disrespectful. Does not care about attendees. Ive had multiple negative experiences at this venue.

No complaints. The show I was there for was packed out, and the staff was still friendly. The crew made a valiant effort to serve everyone at the bar. They even had a drink cart that was by the stage.

Drove a little over 4 hours from Pittsburgh to see Amon Amarth, Arch Enemy, At the Gates and Grand Magus October 13th. The Fillmore is located within a 2 minute walk from major hotels, restaurants and bars. The venue is clean, easy to navigate, the staff are friendly and very helpful. Maximum capacity is in the 2500 person range thus providing an intimate performance with the artist. Shows are general admission/standing room only on the floor with seating in the balcony above for an additional cost. I am happy to say, that as an above knee amputee, they have ADA seating available on the balcony at no extra cost. Beer is pricey at $11 for a 16 oz PBR draft but this is to be expected at almost any concert these days. TIP: Theres a restaurant/bar around the corner with a happy hour from 5-7 that sells PBR $2/12 oz can. I would gladly go to The Fillmore again. Continued success...you guys ROCK!!!

Love this venue! Intimate yet big enough for popular artists. Great drinks as well.

The best place to enjoy alternative music and performance.

Came to see JoJo and had a blast! Seriously, the Fillmore is amazing! The venue was organized and well set up! It is spacious for dancing and the bar is well stocked too. The restrooms are well kept and clean and stocked. I did not use the coat service but they had one. They gave out tickets to the next show on the way out and had a few raffles. It was fun! I would definitely come to an event here again!

One of the Best concert venue in Maryland

This is an amazing venue to see concerts. Its small enough to feel intimate with the bands you love that youre going to see, but its big enough that you can get some air if you need to by going downstairs for a minute. The atmosphere is amazing, tons of excitement and great music. Theres a parking garage thats super convenient for going to watch shows here.

Smaller than the other Filmore I visited in the past but the sound is amazing. Speaker system is awesome. New landmark for future concert.

Seats are definitely over priced, and the sound was a little weak for our concert (could barely hear the vocals). I didnt even bother with the food which Im sure is also pricey for no reason. Go here if you wanna hear the instruments but not the singer, or if you wanna spend upwards of $100 just to stand at a slightly better angle to the stage.

As long as this place has been around, I was expecting more organization. But the venue itself was nice. Sound system was great and the bartenders were wonderful.

My first time visiting The Fillmore was a couple weekends ago for Opeth and Graveyard. The venue was spacious, acoustics were great, and I cant wait to go to another show there!

Really neat place to watch concerts! Go on their website to look at what youre allowed and not allowed to bring inside.
