Great venue for smaller engagements. The seating is extra-padded fold-up chairs or standing room only, depending on the concert. Recently saw a comedian here, and was pleasantly surprised (in a good way) at how much help/ how many ushers were there to help. I'd definitely see another event here.

The Plaza Live is an old movie theater repurposed into a no-frills concert venue. It's not super comfortable, and concessions consist of two small lobby bars. But it gets four stars due to the consistently great line up of big name touring acts, good acoustics, reasonable ticket prices and an intima...

Sadly, owners decided to do away with comfortable theater rocking chairs. People were overlapping onto others chairs. I felt tremendous space invasion. Still the concert "Tribute to the Eagles" band was done so well it helped compensate. Floor sticky. Parking lot in poor shape and couldn't find hand...

I'm down to this venue about four or five times and I've always liked it the parking is never too bad the restrooms are always clean and the staff is very knowledgeable. It's more of like an intimate setting rather than a giant stadium I prefer to see things here

They brought an amazing musician and I'd gladly give him 5 stars plus. Travis Greene was amazing. However, I was really hot and the place could afford to close off a few A/C vent in the lobby and open up a few more in the center of that concert hall. Still, overall, it was a great experience.

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.

This is a smaller plaza than some of the other concert venues I've 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 I'd say it evens out. I do reco...

I saw a show there recently and because the opening act had no correlation to the other bands playing and was pretty bad I decided to go a little bit later thinking everyone will do the same apparently he dropped out and I was not informed so there was a longer line I still arrived an hour and a hal...

I think I like the idea of this place more than the actual place, but it still felt fun. It's dirty and a bit grimy, but doesn't have a bad seat in the house. It feels a lot like house of blues if they never cleaned it. Still a fantastic place to watch a show since every seat is close.

Have seen several shows at this venue over the past several years. Seating used to be good until they removed the theater seats and replaced them with cramped and very uncomfortable metal chairs with minimal padding. Saw Mary Chapin Carpenter on 10-30-16 and the room was hot and stuffy. I was so unc...

Snarky Puppy was amazing, of course, but that's 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 musi...

Royal Blood was great, but the venue needs to get it together. The band complained about how hot it was and both constantly had to wipe themselves down with towels. Audience members were sweating profusely as well. The venue did nothing to try and make everyone more comfortable. Will not attend ...

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.

This is a solid theater. I've seen a wide range of shows here over the years, and always had a good time. Comfy seats up top in the balcony, and the GA floor functions like a natural amphitheater, with a slight slope that helps sight lines. Sound quality is pretty good and they bring in some good mu...

I've been to this venue for two shows and really enjoyed it. I like that the floor is sloped so that if you're further back, you can still get a good view of the stage. There's also a mezzanine if you'd like to sit and watch from above! My only complaint is that the barricade at the very front has a...

A historic venue for Orlando proper. Unfortunately, due to recent and tragic events that took place here, people not familiar with the venue or Orlando itself are dragging Plaza through the mud. A lot of great concerts have happened here and I hope many more will come. Best of luck to the owners.

My first visit at this venue was last night to see Celeste Barber. Nice local venue. Everyone was very nice and accommodating. The lobby was freezing but thankfully the show area was not as cold. We ordered the special mixed drink of the evening and it was incredibly tasty and a heavy pour. Clean ba...

Would give 5 stars because this place is amazing... But they need to fire the sound guy. He is absolutely horrible at his job. Every band was way to bass heavy and multiple times there was zero guitar. No matter where you stood in the room, it was garbage sound. Please fire the sound guy. Movements ...

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. ...

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!

Very 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.
