Corcada Teatre Reviews

Outstanding venue. Not one bad seat in the house. Ron Onesti is one great guy.

Not a bad seat in the house. Saw the Deacon Blues band best part was Corky Segel, he was a amazing.

I had a fantastic time here! Good drinks and food complete with astounding entertainment, you'll want to come back again and again!

Beautiful historical Theatre, worth seeing and enjoying musical entertainment.

GREAT SOUND , GREAT SERVICE, THE FOID WAS OUT STADING ,AND THE LAY OUT UP STAIRS WITH THE ROARING TWENTY'S IS A MUST SEE.

Great place but avoid section 201 and 204 as They have an industrial dehumidifier running durring the show and refuse to turn it off even though it was 6 feet away from me.

Great venue, Club Arcada Speakeasy is an excellent restaurant, limited menu, a little pricey at first glance, but well worth it. Excellent service, food & atmosphere. Prohibition theme nicely done. You have to Know the password to get into the 3rd floor eatery, but it's posted in the elevator !!!

Really neat eclectic theater with lots of character

I love the Arcada Theater because the employees are very friendly and the entertainers are great.

Too crowded. Too much pot. Did I say too crowded? Poor planning

Huge lineup all year long.Local venue with nationally famous talent.

If I could give this place zero stars I would. I have tickets for Michael sweet I believe it was for may then got changed to October 7 because covid. Now that gets complety canceled. I have called, email & left numerous comments on their Facebook. Nothing no response. I expect my money returned for the 3 tickets I purchased. If Michael sweet can refund my meet & greets the same day then you mr. Ron onseti can refund me my money. It's not that hard unless you spent all the money. Either way I will get a refund even if I have to take you to court.

A good place to catch an performance and enjoy some good food and reasonably-priced drinks.

attended the "Speakeasy"on the 3rd floor.. Awesome experience. Excellent food, followed by incredible music. Staff in 20s attire. Super decor and atmosphere. A definite must

Best place to she a Concert! I go at least once a week.

Absolutely fantastic venue!! Staff is great and Ron the owner is always there making sure everyone is happy!!

I've seen bands I never thought I'd get the oppertunity to ever see again. Bachman and Turner, Krokus, April Wine, Asia, and the list goes on. Thanks for the memories.

Don't know what to say other than we had reservations with friends driving in about an hour to spend time at the Speakeasy to listen to music and have dinner. However we were told once we got there there was a private party there for another 45 minutes. How can you accept reservations and then tell people you can't let them in because there's a private party. I certainly felt horrible for our friends who drove all this way.

Great sound. Up close and personal to see and hear Richard Marx Acoustic. If you get a chance definitely get there early and hit the speakeasy upstairs to have dinner and a drink. Pretty easy parking too.

Made reservations for 20 on Saturday night at 6:00. We weren t seated until 6:40 and we were told we were lucky to get a seat. We were called twice to confirm reservations!!!
Also menu was a poor selection, 2 choices of a meal for dinner. I would recommend going to Zanas s before a show!!

I love the Arcada theater but last Tuesday my friend and I had to leave during intermission because it was so hot in there we were getting dizzy and felt like we were going to pass out. I wish Ron would hurry and fix the air conditioning.

I saw Rodney Carrington tonight and I must say I was pretty disappointed. The show was said to start at 7:30 and it didn t start until almost 8:30. Then Rodney came out at 9 and ended at 10. I m pretty upset I paid $60 a seat for an hour. Not to mention the theater has absolutely NO air conditioning. It was so horribly the hot from the second we sat down until the second we left. It definitely ruined the show for me.

We love this theater. Very Personable with the performances. To a point we drive almost 3 hours one way.

,worst sound system I have ever heard! Sound system sinks!!

Walking into the Arcada is like walking into the past. The music scene is pretty good here.

I have seen several concerts here and while some of them were good, the worst experience I ever had was when Ratt played there in 2018. I paid $200 for seats only to see the singer Stephen Percy wasted on booze and whatever else and could barely sing his own songs. To say it was disappointing is an understatement and I emailed to ask for a refund. I was told they were working on giving some form of restitution to people and was then promptly blown off. Now Ratt playing there again. What a joke. I will never go to another concert here again.

We LOVE this place ....its worth the 1.5 hour drive from Indiana. Friendly staff great food there and in the general area.

Great venue for seeing a show. Check out the speakeasy upstairs before, after, or for one of their shows.

Old theatre, original condition, innovative programming and generally fun.

In gross need of modernization. But if you like yesterday's music stars, this place produces a unique opportunity. And you can buy tickets and select your precise seats on their ticket service. Owned by an all-in music man.

Steelheart / Firehouse - section 205, last row (F) seat 6. Absolutely phenomenal show.

Great place to see a show.
Free parking historic venue.
Saw the Beatles Show which was great...very reasonable prices

Here for America show tonight. Cool old place that would get an extra star or two if they had heat. Apparently an ongoing issue since we read reviews from summer time guests that said it was hot as hell in here. Dress appropriately if your coming to a show here.

So neat! We went to silent movie with live organ player. He played nonstop on cue for whole 90 mins movie.

This is a very cool old place. Saw SAGA and it was amazing.

Wonderful show!!! We were in balcony, good sounds, good sightlines
We will be back.

Was a pleasant visit. Can't wait to go back and see another show.

The Arcada Theatre has old century charm. You step back in time and feel as if you are in the 1920s. The decor will amaze you and remind you of simpler times

Best small venue to go-to concerts!
This was the view from the back of the balcony standing room only. I bought the single seat from Rick when the box office opened at 12:15 for my wife about 7 rows up from here but she stood with me. The staff was friendly and we were able to stay sober.

Good venue for the suburbs. Very convenient, but the ticket prices are much higher than venues in the city. For example, I saw Buckethead there recently and tickets for his Vic show were under $40. Tickets for him at the Arcada were around $70 for the floor. So essentially you're paying for the convenience of it being close to home if you live in the burbs.

The sound is good (some say it's too loud although I don't agree) and the venue is in good shape. One knock is the bathrooms are tiny, so there's always a super long wait (two stalls in each). The owner is very nice and always walking around the venue talking to people (although he oddly reminds me of Leisure Suit Larry).

Very nice theater. Great acoustics. Lots of great performers

We love the Arcada Theatre and the 1920's Speakeasy Club. It was beautiful & nostalgic. But, to me me a Speakeasy Club should be for 21 and older. It's a cocktail club with a bar menu. It's not for families with children. We came on a Wednesday for the Magician show and it was packed with children. The show has adult content not suitable for children. The other patrons without children looked at these families coming in like really? Not sure I will come back now, which disappoints me.

Great place in the burbs to see a good rock show. Easy to get to. A couple good restaurants to eat at before the show.

Employees are very nice there. Always a good time.

I delivered Freight here and went in to take a look at the seating. The theater is beautiful on the inside and I was shocked to see how much room there was.

Whatever you do, do not buy last row balcony tickets. There is zero leg room. The view us great but tall people can't sit comfotably!

This older theatre is a great place to see a show - every seat is good.I like the fact that you can have a beverage and snack at your seat. Smaller bathrooms make the lines longer, I managed that by not waiting until intermission. We thought drinks were on the high side @ $14.50 for 1 mixed drink and one soda. All in all a very good time, easy to find, accessible - free parking. CTA (Danny Seraphine) as headliner and The Buckinghams. It was a great show. Its all good.

Great venue. Only feedback, bathroom is super small on main floor.

Great food and entertainment! A wonderful experience enjoyed by the entire family.

Club Arcadia on the 3rd floor of the Theatre is a 1920's style speakeasy. It's a wonderful place to have dinner, drinks and enjoy the entertainment that evening. Seating about 150 people who enter through a door hidden behind a bookcase, the atmosphere takes you back to the Roaring 20's. Food and drinks are excellent and the sound quality is outstanding. A great way to spend an evening with friends or just the two of you.

Every time we attend a concert, It is over the top!
Greg Lake & Peter Noone were my two favorites

The restaurant was very good and the entertainment was a super

Great theater! Awesome staff! Truly enjoyed our time here! Would highly recommend this place to anyone!

Like going to a friend's house to hear live music! Ron the owner is usually there to greet you. He even sells homemade itailian food in the lobby. Upstairs is a speakeasy with live music and dinner! Worth the trip to the northwest suburbs.

What a wonderful time! Great staff and wonderful Venue

Magnificent food and service. Awesome entertainment. We saw Vince Amore

Great entertainment Fantastic food in the speak easy Ron Onesti Is the best

Staff is great...bands sound great..great performances.

A very unique place to enjoy good food and entertainment.

While i really appreciate the great acts Ron brings to the area
And really enjoy visiting
The acoustic quality needs attention
Better sound system and some baffles to soften the highs and allow people to hear the music
Until then if you plan to attend
Bring ear plugs !!!

Saw the Oakridge Boys there on Saturday night. It was a good show. It was nice to see that the theater was still as I remembered it from when I was a kid.

Interesting place. We were escorted via elevator to a third floor speakeasy hidden behind a fake wall.
The music was excellent, flapper girl waitress, and good food.

It's f'ing Nugent tonight. Great place for a concert.

Headliners cancel. I'm thinking they draw on the door. Not enough tickets sold, they are a no show.

Toto, .38 Special, and lastnight Loverboy. Keep up the amazing work Ron & Crew. Love coming there !!!
