Corcada Teatre Reviews

A wonderful venue with entertainment & shows for people of all ages. One of St. Charles forgotten gems.

Small food menu. Good drink menu. Great atmosphere.

Good venue. Good sound. Permanent seats are a little snug. Plenty of parking in the area. Ushers were plentiful and helpful.

Intimate venue to see all your favorite.bands of the past. Aisles narrow in theater, and at the bar.

This place brings artists to the extended area that no one else does.

Kenny Wayne Shepard was a great concert.
Spend some money on repairs and the bathrooms.
Beautiful historical theater not being kept up.
Go to the Paramount in Aurora instead.

The sound is great as are the sightlines. The entertainers have been very good.

Ann Wilson and her band were fabulous tonight. Arcada Theater is an intimate setting perfect for this event

Wonderful venue to see a show. Finding parking can challenging around the theater.

This is great place to see a show. There is a great speak easy bar on the third floor.

BEST VENUE FOR CONCERTS!! You can see from any seat/row... and actually SEE the expressions on the musicians faces (not on a giant screen). Great sound. Only pitfall is the bar... It's really small in a really small area & it's just chaos trying to get drinks.

Liked the small venue but needs some cleaning and updating. Especially the bathrooms.

This theater is like stepping back in time. It's a lovely venue with good sign lines and nostalgia in the air. Obviously, the trope about the minimal bathroom space is nothing but true. Mr Onesti says that that should be fixed for too long And we certainly hope that is the case.

I encourage anyone that sees an act They are interested in to check them out at Arcada. You won't be disappointed.

Great Theater. Every seat in this small Theater is good

Great venue with plenty of history in St. Charles. The first "movie theatre" movie I saw when I was 5 years old, was at the Arcada. I don't believe they show movies anymore, more concerts and alike shows. I've seen several concerts over the years all fantastic events.

Not the most beautiful place in the world but this is the best place for live rock. I see King's X here every year.

We saw Tommy James and the Shondells there. They ROCKED! The staff there is very nice and helpful.

Awesome concert venue! Geoff Tate and the band where awesome! 'Till Deah Do Us Part was Great too! One of the Best concerts I've ever been too!

Incredible venue, incredible staff, incredible management. Everyone knows what they're doing. They make you feel like a rockstar.

Excellence small theater Bears fairly priced easy access to outdoor smoking everybody is cool no attitudes all want to have a good time food right across the street as well as a few Tavern kind of out a place for being in downtown st. Charles but that makes it even more enjoyable highly recommend it

A perfect venue for DOWN/POUR
"the AC/DC Concert Experience" to play at.
Hopefully Ron onesti will get us in.

Great vibe. Great room. Friendly staff. Awesome music from Big Dog Mercer! Definitely check out the speakeasy if you haven't done so already

Beautiful historic restored building and Speakeasy restaurant is very cool

An original theatre booking top recording and other major acts. A place that is a part if Americana with an upstairs speak easy restaurant with a flapper theme and great food at affordable pricing. Awesome!

Very cozy and quaint theater! Great place for live music

Alwsys a good time at Arcada. Infiniti cover band of 70's and 80's was excellent.

One of my top venues to see a rock show! The theater is beautiful. Ron Onesti is one of the nicest humans on the planet. He books the right bands, and ensures everyone has a great time. The speakeasy is amazing as well!

One of the few small music venues left that really hit a home run!!! From the talent, the staff and the Owner Ron Onesti. There isn't a bad seat in the house, great live music venues and more, the best part is you don't have to travel to Chicago and spend an arm and a leg to see a great concert!!!
Definitely recommend!!

Always an excellent venue. You must try the upstairs speakeasy.

Nice place, excellent sound, great security - thanks totthe guard who helped me retrieve something I left inside.

Great shows. Every seat is good. I prefer the balcony.

Excellent venue providing quality entertainment without the hassle of traveling into Chicago

My wife and I love this place. Staff goes out of their way to be helpful and always friendly. Ron the owner is always around to make sure everyone is having a great time. Thanks Ron,

I saw the 3 Faces of Elvis show Saturday . I have seen this show several times over the last few years at other venues and enjoy it VERY MUCH, especially Shawn Klush.
The sound system at this theater is HORRIBLE. At all of the higher dynamic levels of the music, the sound turned into LOUD NOISE!!! The vocals were were so distorted that you could not distinguish any lyrics at the louder levels. The seats were also very uncomfortable, and the whole place could use a good facelift. It felt very OLD and DUMPY.

We went to see the Jayhawks at the Arcada. The Place has great sight lines but for whatever reason the sound was terrible. We could barely hear the vocals. Jayhawks are a great band and Gary Louris is a great vocalist, what could have been a great show wasn't because of the sound problems.

If you get the first few rows of floor seats, it's an extremely tight squeeze

I saw last in line their Friday the 22nd. The place is an old theater with pretty good acoustics. What is nice is the shows they have older rock to a brunch on Sunday. I recommend La ZaZa Italian restaurant. It is 5 south first st west of theater about one block past the river. So go to a show and enjoy some eats.!

Great small venue. Not a bad seat in the house. Your favorite stard are right there

I was there for a wedding, and the receptionist was great! If uninvited people tried to enter, the people would keep them out without being harsh or rude. The building was huge, with plenty to explore, and it was very clean and neat. Servers at our table we're really nice and tolerant. This place is amazing and I would definitely recommend it for any event.

Cool nostalgic theater. This is being renovated to add functionality. Great lights, and sound system. Great acts come through here!

The Speakeasy section is filled with great acts and classy interesting people, mostly middle aged and above, but some young patrons as well. Their martinis and food are excellent too, but the prices are high

Nick Bell Band at the Speakeasy...good musuc and food...limited menu. Shared red wine and a cheese board...perfect!

Great venue with lots of great artists booked! It can be a but crowded in the drink and bathroom lines, but overall a great experience each time

Pre Steelheart & Firehouse concert drinking at the Speakeasy upstairs, AWESOME !

Great music venue, parking all over and a slew of restaurants and bars within a block or two.

This really is a very nice place to see a show and I'm so happy we have it here in St Charles! They are bringing great names through this place. Ticket prices are usually reasonable. They are working on cleaning it up inside and it looks good. Only 4 stars as I think the PA system needs some attention. I have been in several locations inside and it seems like they can't get the mains loud enough to mix appropriately with the onstage volume.
Always a good time at this venue though!

Comfortable, relaxed and intimate place to see a concert.

Great view from any seat. Just remove 1/3 of the seats so a normal size person can sit.

This is a must visit venue. Ron Onesti brings an amazing array of entertainment experiences to this well cared for 82 year old theater. Tonight, we enjoyed the Glenn Miller Orchestra but someone who appreciates great music from several different eras will thoroughly enjoy this venue. Check out their website and I know you will find something to enjoy.

Needs more than one toilet for 900 people. Go to the bathroom before you leave or skip the beer.

Great shows, every seat is a winner, great neighborhood with lots of pre and post show food and drink choices!

The Arcada is a wonderful venue with a very positive atmosphere that brings great talent to the western suburbs of Chicago. I have never seen a bad show in this place be it classic rock to classical music. Located in downtown St.Charles in walking distance to many great restaurants and parking it is truly a gem to be experienced.

Best place to see a concert. Food OUTSTANDING and homemade.
