This venue has some really weird rules that really ruined my night. First of all it was too loud for me and I wanted to go to the car until I felt better and re-entry is only 21+ which is the most unfair rule I ve ever heard of. Staff was incredibly rude to me and one security guard was mad at me an...

Played upstairs tonight and even with all the rain, weird obstacles in the hallway blocking bands from getting in and out, and myself and band mates exhausted we had a great time and really enjoyed this place. The soundman was a saint and even went and got the band water. The sound check had to be q...

It was awesome. My son EJ Sparks won his match and got the belt back from Johnny Jeter's old cheating behind. I got to meet 2 Cold Scorpio and Time Storm, two of the wrestlers from back in the day. It was nice talking with them. They spoke highly of my son EJ Sparks.

This place is unique and cool and in the heart of old downtown Mesa I go for wrestling events which in the summertime can tend to be a little hot in the back but right now this time of year this place is off the chain they have a pretty unique coffee shop up in the front is great for socializing and...

This place is terrible! Rozz Dyliams was booked for this show and they snubbed him last minute because of the nature of his lyrics despite allowing other artists who have date raped and endorses the use of drugs to their audience. Hypocrites! !!!!!!

I really appreciate the open venue to all the different types of music here in the valley and abroad. One thing about this place that really blows is the sound and the heat in the venue. This place really needs some acoustic treatment and sum decent air conditioning. Now the shitty sound is not all ...

Terrible, dirty, & unorganized. Took daughter & her friend for TLG 2016. They enjoyed themselves seeing the kids in the act- (was the main good thing.) As one of the few parents, about 80% of the floor space was open - should have provided some chairs (would have only needed about 15 for adults). I'...

Conveniently located in a super cute downtown mesa area, the theater lets off a underground vibe in the midst of a regular downtown atmosphere. They host alot of great punkish bands that are very much loved among a well neglected genre of fans. They have a small selection of beer and soda for their ...

"The place is old" is not a decent excuse for the total lack of air conditioning...or air *movement, really. It felt hotter downstairs than it was outside. I mean at least there was a breeze outside. I won't come here for another show; it's not worth the ticket price.

First off, you enter from the front and there's this absolutely wonderful cafe/small restaurant. Heading back to the theater and it's a nice, big theater for just about any type of entery - large stage, looks like it can fit about 400-500 people. And then comes the downer... Sound system was not imp...

Either this venue needs a new sound guy, or a new PA system. Holy hell, my ears were ringing for 3 days straight after seeing Thy Art is Murder and Born of Osiris. Seriously, it was all just white noise. You could hardly hear anything remotely clear. Even one of the opening bands complained about le...

Saw Rittz and King Lil G, good show, but one little bar and lots of people wanting beer with their back to the stage. I would suggest a 2nd bar and maybe position them where the merch booths are currently so the load can be split and you always have a visual on the stage, put the merch booths in th...

I saw Blessedbethyname play here 15 years ago. The Nile is still here, and better than ever. I saw a live body suspension here, too, long ago. The guy had 4 hooks in his back and as the band played, he swung around like a goshdang lunatic. It was great. He passed out and went limp. The band kept ch...

I've been going to the Nile since I was in highschool 20 years ago. Besides the time it was shut down of course. Haven't been for years but saw a show there the other day. Nothing much has changed and still a good place to see shows. Except the fact I cant bring my polar pop in. Haha

i have been here for multiple shows and it's always a blast!! pricing on drinks is actually pretty awesome. I have been here for Dead Kennedys, plenty of Authority Zero, and recently Horrorpops! The staff are pretty helpful and nice. I would definitely come back for more shows in the future!

What a cute place. We were antique shopping in downtown Mesa and we're looking for a bite. My wife and I are vegan so it is not always easy to find restaurants. This was a quaint spot. Very local vibe. You can just hang out with a coffee and have a fast meal. Definitely try the Philly steak sandwich...

Only went to the Nile Cafe in front of the theater but they were very friendly and helpful! My first foray into vegan food and I was not disappointed here. Even served shepherd's pie in ceramic bowl instead of plastic or paper. And I'm telling all my vegan friends about it.

I feel bad for anyone who books the stage downstairs. There is no air circulation and the heat is so...moist. You can feel it radiating from outside the venue. Just finished watching a band and even the vocalist said he couldn't breath air into his lungs. I paid $25 for this show. Nile Theatre needs...
