Review of The Wilbur Theatre

The experience of watching the band from standing ...

The experience of watching the band from standing in the stalls was fine, and the sound was acceptable. Everything else about this place was terrible. Ultra-rude guy taking tickets at the door, rude & surly usher inside directing people to their area/seats. Over zealous security jumping on people if they stepped outside stalls onto common walkway. The price of a beer was outrageous. As a visitor to Boston for the weekend, I drank a lot of beer in many different bars, most of which I loved. This was by far the most expensive, $15 for a 24 oz (just over 700ml) beer. Price gouging pure and simple. Lastly, I'm pretty sure the woman behind the bar left me $10 short in my change on purpose. When I returned 2 mins later and pointed it out, she gave me the $10 without any thought or query. I will not be returning to this horrible place.
