Mr. Smalls is an OK concert venue in Pittsburgh. The sound is mediocre, and if you're standing near the back (and bar) there is too much crowd noise to be able to enjoy the show. I highly recommend getting seats in the balcony. They're extra, but that extra money is basically a stipend that you need to spend on beer / food that evening, otherwise you lose it.
Beautiful venue! Love the atmosphere and the staff was friendly and prompt
This place is getting better and better every time I go!
Saw the Aquabats! here and it was great. Beer isn't too expensive and there's a whole restaurant upstairs
I saw the Interrupters for my first show at this venue. I enjoyed it so much I bought tickets for another when I arrived home. It was worth the 2 hour drive.
The best indoor venue for music in Pittsburgh. Great acoustics, has a restaurant that actually has really good food and as an amazing beer selection that's reasonably priced. Only negative is parking
Overall it was a decent concert venue. Respectable sound throughout the whole general admission area. Visibility of the stage could be improved from some shorts. It's definitely an older structure that hasn't aged the most gracefully. There is no actual parking area; it's all just along the road nearby.
Awesome concert venue! Very small, but close to the bands!
Was my first time visiting, I was impressed! Staff was professional and fans were made to feel like a priority which is rare, I ll definitely be back!
Another gem of Pittsburgh as the city continues to teach us, what is old is new again. There is plenty of space, the acoustics are excellent and there are spots for every type of concert goer. Would definitely recommend!!
We are very lucky to have a place like Mr. Smalls! Loved it.
The venue is a former church so the acoustics are Incredible! Staff is efficient and friendly getting the lines moving into the show. Drinks are not priced that bad and they will give you water free and NOT be salty about it lol Security is visible constantly, both inside and out. There is a smoking deck upstairs that can be accessed anytime during the show with no reentry hassle. Overall great night! I'd definitely go back again.
I'm a big fan of the venue, it isn't too pricy and is a nice looking venue in what is a cool old building.
It was my first time in the funhouse room last night and I enjoyed that room as well. That room is upstairs and is much cozier and they have food served up there too. I can't say the food is very good but it's not too expensive especially in comparison to the drinks.
Great venue considering the smaller size. Very interesting atmosphere with it being in and old church. I've been attending shows here since 2012 and it seems like they're renovating and making improvements every time I visit. Staff is very attentive and take great measures to make sure everyone is safe and enjoying themselves.
Great venue. Super cool space. Good acoustics. But man, the security guys have a huge chip on their shoulders. Other than that, it's great.
Best venue in Pittsburgh. hands down.
This place is awesome, it's an old gothic church and has a very cool vibe with 2 bars upstairs and one downstairs as well as an internal courtyard where you can go be outside to smoke and relax.
The staff here is always helpful and accommodating and the sound quality is excellent.
Love this venue can accommodate any artist with the different sections it has
Before we even saw chris webby!!!!! Some people cant handle anything!!!
Great venue to see a concert. But wear comfortable shoes as you will be standing. There are no seats on the main level. There is an upper level with a bar and tables, but you have to upgrade your ticket. The music sounds great there!
My favorite concert venue. They have a lot of excellent popular and up and coming entertainers. The balcony seating is the best.
Perfect sized venue and always great lighting and sound.
Favorite venue in the burgh. Great place to see local acts and cheap.
Not a bad venue, pretty intimate experience because you have great views of the stage; however, for the Bone Thugs n Harmony show, all of the bouncers looked way to serious and pissed about people smoking inside. They should ease-up and let things slide a bit more.
Seen bone thugs and harmony here it was a nice place very packed and hot but overall not bad
Disorganized, difficult parking, the concert was late both days because of their LONG process getting people in the theatre and not opening early. They didn't have it open for rehearsal and we were out on the street, poor management and patrons were waiting in the rain for an hour to get inside for the late concert. Interesting venue but they need a revamp on their organizational skills and staff.
Great concert venue. Wish parking was a little better around Millvale. But love smalls
great team members, great time! Nate is the Man behind that bar!
My favorite venue in the Pittsburgh area. Very unique
This is the best venue in Pittsburgh, great vibes, great staff, and awesome facility!
The acoustics were great and the venue was easy to spot.
One of the most underrated places to go see a concert. Remove the notion that it used to be a church, the layout inside has emphasized that it is a place of performance and it is here to stay. In this place everyone in the audience gets a front row seat. Open to all ages, but has a roped area for those who want to drink. Even an area upstairs to grab so great food or watch a show from the balcony. Artists that choose this venue definitely want to have an intimate show for their fans.
Great location n great people u just never know who u mite see.
Acoustics are fantastic, venue is unique and adds to the over all experience, Mr. Small's brings in a great crowd of good people.
Great concert venue that just keeps improving. The recent expansions include multi-level balconies with reserved seating, multiple places to get food and drinks, multiple outdoor gathering places and a secondary stage. The reserved seating upgrade pays for itself if you plan to get food and drinks. Great sound, great atmosphere.
Awsome place to check out any show, it's a smaller place that makes any show a good time. Definitely will go back to see something else there, it was worth the 2 hr drive there.
The Funhouse was an awesome venue for a more intimate concert
Great place .just wish there were chairs to sit instead of standing the whole time
Good venue for a concert, but sometimes doesn't feature the best artists. Also, the balcony should not be 21 and up if you aren't ordering drinks.
Super acoustics! Perfect size to get up close with Marcus King!!
Had a great time here seeing Judah and the Lion. It was a very cool, intimate venue. My biggest gripe was how they upcharge for the balcony seating. I'm sure it is a great experience when you're in the seats though. Chill people working there.
My favorite place to see a show CRB rocked the house last night.
Great place for a show, pretty decent- rated a 5 at first- but last time i went was about a 3.5, so i changed to a 4. They had some awesome local talent and other bands upstairs better than the headliners sometimes. Drinks are a little pricey but for a show- ah i guess ok- i dont drink much anyway. Parking can be difficult in millvale too. Shows sell out a lot here- so buy early- very rarely see scalpers outside. if ever.
Mr. Smalls is a great music venue. Its small but gets great acts. The sound is great and the stage is is high enough and close enough that basically everyone can see.
I've seen several shows here in the funhouse as well as the main theater. This is a terrific venue with a ton of character. Their kitchen cooks up fantastic food and the bartenders are always friendly and attentive. The only down side is that it is difficult to park. I recommend taking an Uber or Lyft to the venue if possible.
Saw JJ Grey here. The sound was good and bartenders were friendly.
One of the best small concert venues in Pittsburgh! Amazing atmosphere and decor. More importantly, great sounding room!
Great place to check out bands. Intimate setting, attentive staff. Love this venue!
Love the variety of music they bring in and the recent upgrades.
One of the best and most unique concert venues in the city.
Funhouse indeed. A former church converted into one of the best spots to see a live band anywhere in the USA - it's made a list or two for it. They have been building on and updating piece by piece over the years which gives this place such an eclectic vibe. Gritty and grungy in some spots and luxurious and exclusive in others. They get great bands here, but the venue itself is worth checking out.
Really Awesome Venue I just wish there was more oppurtunity for seating in the back of the rooms since I can't usually stand for long amounts of time
Best place to see a live show in Pittsburgh. The bands seem to genuinely enjoy playing here.
Former church converted to a comfy music venue. Great acoustics!
