Aggie Theatre Review

Amazing venue in Fort Collins! Great atmosphere, and really reasonable ticket prices! They bring great shows through, making the drive from Wyoming worth it!

It's a smaller concert hall so who's playing will obviously impact the experience. Very old, very used, could probably use a little update but they serve tall boy beer by the can and the staff is as friendly as you would expect from a team that deals with drunk idiots a lot. No food when we've gone. If it's a band you like you'll definitely get an intimate setting.

Staggered dance floor so you can almost always see the band. Gets bloody hot however.

Fun place to go on the weekend or whenever they have a great show (almost every night)

Cute and clean. They've made improvements and it makes the experience more comfortable.

the floor literally vibrates under your feet!! one of the best music venues just wish they had a place to smoke ciggs for 18+ and not just 21+

Should be zero stars, I went in after covid had shut them down for 3 months, and immediately got turned away for having an unopen red bull tht they sold me. So we went outside finished that red bull and tried to get back in and they said " no". Plus I had to through out 5 shooters, in conclusion never visit this theater or enjoy anything they do. If a business wants to last over a pandemic maybe they should notice how some people may have financial restrictions that cuase them not to be able to purchase a over priced cocktail from a pretentious bartender who's only life goal is to have power trip over someone who is wants to purchase and maybe brought in a few drinks. Staff was very passive aggressive and not friendly

The walls and ceiling are painted black, to better accent the performers onstage. It has a bar, if that's your thing. The atmosphere is very loud, even before the event (in my case, a bluegrass concert) starts, but that's the atmosphere. The trees out front in the sidewalk were nice, and the brick building has an oldies flare to it.

Great local venue. Always fun and a great selection of shows

This venue is doing a fantastic job of hosting Socially Distanced events!
Tables have enough space around them to dance while maintaining safe distancing, the servers are attentive and polite, the security is diligent and hospitable.
It was great to dip my toes back into nightlife for the first time in a year, and I didn't feel like I drastically endangered myself doing so.
Well done, Aggie Staff!

Don't go to this place if you're expecting a chill, easy-going atmosphere to see bands you love. A friend and I (22 and 21, respectively) head in to see Red Fang and two other groups. Tickets were a non-issue, prices were reasonable, and they only hassled me about my ID for a few minutes (I am out of state so I am used to this). Bands performed great and it sounded alright. However, my friend had a flask, which I didn't know about and was stupid, and apparently some hawk-eyed, lumberjack-ogre looking security guy saw it in his pocket (he hadn't even opened it) and took it from him. So we thought all was well, oh well, he lost his flask. Nope! Shrek comes back a few minutes later and says "we need to talk to you up front" to my friend, and apparently acts all cool at first, but kicks him out of the show due to his actions. Meanwhile there are people smoking joints and cigarettes left and right, and nobody does anything about it.

I realize my friend was breaking the rules, however, in my opinion, they could have handled this more responsibly. Him and I were both of-age, wearing wristbands, and each holding a drink we had obviously purchased at the bar there. We spent probably $20 each at the bar. The place seems to be run in a zero-tolerance manner, and in my opinion, that attitude ruins venues like these. There are meaty security guys trolling the place with flashlights constantly during the show, which is just not necessary. The management apparently feels the need to protect their bar income so badly that they used cheap excuses such as "you could have been providing alcohol to minors" and "it violates our alcohol policy" as a reason to kick my friend out. I'm sorry, and I know my friend was in the wrong, but such aggression to your customers for such a commonly occurring thing just isn't cool. They make it seem like they're entitled to have you in there, feeding them money, and if you make one wrong move, you're out. I'm not sure if it is the venue getting in trouble with local police over intoxicated minors or what, but such policing of the audience would need to be put to an end for me to return to this venue. There are much more responsible ways of dealing with such instances than intimidation and expulsion. Kicking paying customers out over such silly circumstances is a great way to ruin someone's perspective of a place, and prevent them from returning.

And despite being kicked out, they never gave the flask back.

Horrible time i missed the show i paid 69 dollars for. Dont go to this venue it's a waste of money! Staff is not friendly and treat people badly. Dont come here!!

Its a very fun venue, but it can get crowded quickly. Security is not super tight once you're inside. There are tons of styles of music played here.

This place can have some great shows. Aside from that, it's one of the worst venues to see a concert. Bartenders will routinely charge you for things not ordered, and the security will literally assault you. This place can be dangerous. Be on serious guard if you go here.

Great atmosphere. Good drinks. Even better music. Cant wait to go back!!!

Always in first a good time at the Aggie. When out of towners come this is a place I make sure we go to. The layout is personal without being crowded and the bar is in the perfect location so no fighting to get to it. Never been disappointed by the facility or the staff.

Good venue, could have better/more diverse acts though

Really fun atmosphere, and it's bigger than it looks on the outside!

The acoustics and lighting were decent in this theatre; however, that's about it. It was very hot inside during a show, and they set up a weird fence inside the theatre for people who wanted to drink alcohol (which was about everyone there) so it became quite cramped quickly. Might be a better idea to make shows 21+ to let people move around freely and possibly dance from time to time.

It's a great small music venue with affordable drinks.

Such an amazing venue that brings in really good artists on a consistent basis. Always good vibes here!

My favorite place in Fort Collins. Great music. Great people. Great atmosphere.

Great shows. Drinks are insanely priced. But still a great venue. Just drink beforehand.

Super cool small rustic venue. It was easy to get a beer and it wasn't too expensive. This is the only venue I've been to where the sound was so perfect that I could hear the lyrics of the songs.

Great place massive room inside. Decent prices on drinks!

Amazing band played tonight. THE SALMON FAMINE! Steller performance. Couldn't have asked for a better venue or a better group of musicians.

Intimate setting, crowded at times but didnt wait long for beer or the bathroom last night!

Once in awhile you get a solid band come through. Lots of times it simply isn't my cup of tea. Too much hip-hop and metal music. I wish there were more indie bands coming through. I saw Two Gallants here and it was a good time. However, the people who frequent here are a little gross.

Decent sized dance floor, and a good layout. Two bars so there was never a long wait. Could use more seating options, though.

They have really good bands that come here. I always have had a great time

Got to see a legendary icon in a great venue. Hadn't been there in years and it was still amazing.

Tiny venue but had a great time. Felt weird with the people on the side balconies watching me dance....

Solid small venue, with great sound. It was extremely warm on a spring day. I can t imagine seeing a show there during the summer with hotter temps.

Saw brothel here check him out. He did amazing! Light show was dope to venue is nice and open.

Awesome venue and super intimate. Plus common kings are the best

There are stairs in this place. Please don't try rushing in and tumble down the stairs.

This is not a theatre but a stage with some folding chairs but for an acoustic show the acoustics were fantastic. Or maybe it was just because Justin Furstenberg was so great. Who knows? The show was great

My brother got to meet layzie bone there. Best experience of my life.

Sticky floor, but nice speakers. Good ledge around stage, free water and cups!

Nothing special. Gets crowded full of drunk idiot college kids.

A good place to listen to bands or to have a party. They have a couple bars,a stage and a place to dance.

Wrote an email to owners and GM about an incident that occurred. Will not be returning to this venue.

Seating was a little tight! A really old building but the comic show was great. I love how it has two bars! Makes a difference!!

Good sound, cool venue, great promoters. My biggest complaint would be that the bathrooms are pretty unclean, and the pbr was $5

The staff was friendly and professional. Mother Mother was a great opening act. The Kongos put on one of the best shows ever.

Awesome concert venue in Fort Collins, CO. This concert hall has fantastic sound. The bartenders were professional and made excellent drinks.

I had a great time but a little concerned that they didn't put X's on my hand when I'm 20 years old ...

one of my absolute favorite venues!!! never have a bad time here, and with the new improvements, the music is even better! definitely check out a show here if you have the chance!!

Have enjoyed every show I have gone to here, which is more than I can count. Nice venue for the size, really enjoy that there are 3 different sections that you can "go down/up" in..makes for some fun looking up into the lasers or getting front row! There is no seating, but who needs to sit when you can dance! Thoroughly enjoy going to this venue.

Thank goodness for new ownership - you guys have really turned this place back around!

Nice mid-sized venue. If they're smart, they'll try to get more Metal tours to come thru seeing as ABR sold out their show weeks in advance. Great first experience for me though.

I have to say for my very first time to the Aggie I expected much, much more. Especially considering a good friend of mine was performing. I arrived at the Aggie last Saturday for the NoCo hip hop event they were hosting. Before I even stepped food inside the venue I was given attitude from the women security guard at the front because I was waiting for a ticket from my friend. A simple Ms. we can t have you standing here would have been suffice, but that wasn t the case. Then, we were invited to the basement by said friend and were given a hard time about that because of the amount of people. Which, I understand, but they decided to let us in. If I would have known what it was going to cost us the rest of the night I wouldn t have gone down. As the concert started I was standing near the stage just like everyone else when I was told I needed to step back against the wall. For what reason, I have no idea! I felt like a child being told to stand by the wall. Then, one of my friends started to dance to the music and happened to pass the line that separates general audience from VIP (if you want to call it that), and was pulled aside by a different security guard, told she couldn t be going back and forth which she wasn t and continued to be scolded by this security guard and watched all night long. She was able to come back to the area, but there we were the rest of the night standing against a wall like some kids in time out. What was supposed to be a fun night, ruined. So disappointed with the staff at the Aggie. The only person who even smiled and was friendly was the bartender on the south side. I m not sure what kind of traffic you guys pull in, but I can guarantee you out of the crowd you had that night, we were not the problem. First and last time at the Aggie.

Hey its Gem!
I love you so much aggie theater!!! I always have so so much fun when i go there.
The people who work there are super cool and always fun to talk to :)
They are super easy to get ahold of and always respond with good time.
I love spending my time here :)
Good music. Good people. Good prices usually a very good vibe

I really loved the venue!! It was very colorful and very spacious!! They're really ran a fantastic show and I totally reccomend checking it out when you have the chance!!

Great concert venue. Mostly standing room, but a few seats as well. Serves alcohol

Just saw Ritz, awesome show! First show of his first tour on his own label CNT. Spacious, well lit, great stage

Any time I get to see Chris Robinson for $20. I am happy.

Medium sized venue but can house quite a few people. The multi level stage standing areas make it easy for even the smallest viewer to have a good time.

Restrooms are out of the stone age. I still can't shake the smell a week later

Great venue, good variety of musicians and acts that play here. It's all standing room only and can get super toasty, so plan to wear layers. The bar is small, so plan to stand in line for a bit for most shows. The stage is easily visible from the bar, though, so you won't miss much. Highly recommend catching a show here if you're in Northern Colorado!
