Freezing cold, sound quality was a noisy saturated mess. Don't want to go back.

Edit - I've added stars, I've been back a couple times now for various bands and the experience has been much better.

The Beacham brings a lot of good talent through. It is fun most of the time, though there are nights where it was a bit too chaotic for my liking - fights taking place out front, etc. As with most nights out though, those instances are usually the fault of the people involved, not the fault of the establishment.

Bleah. All I can say is, well, it was open. Maybe it's better every single day except Sunday. Bathrooms crowded & nasty. Staff was pretty cool except for security, security staff was weirdly hard core, like Navy Seals whose mission was to make sure I didn't leave the balcony carrying my cup of water. WATER. The DJ just made me sad, like, I'm sorry this was the best he had in him for the night. Maybe he'll read a book someday and kick start his creativity.

Went here to see Lights and it's not a bad place to be for a concert. Plenty of good viewing spots, even back by the bars. The bass was surprisingly intense, like whole body shaking intense, and the sound was great. The bathrooms weren't too nice and the surrounding area was a little questionable, but the good did outweigh the bad.

Went for New Years. $60 for my man and I to get in without waiting in the regular line. It was really packed. We eventually was able to get a spot at the bar which was nice because I got tired of people bumping into me on the floor. The bartenders were pretty attentive and the wait for the drinks wasn't long at all. They were a bit pricey I believe he said though. There were like 2 gogo dancers on stage. Most of the music played was rap. Uh this is a good spot for people that likes to be where there's a crowd.

Dress code is too strict Bouncers are rude... it's just people trying to have a good night but apparently, unless you're dressed in saints clothes or as the stereotypical "metro sexual" you're not going to be able to get in... ladies get your nun skirts out... men, wear your button downs...

avoid this place at all cost, just a bunch of wannabe thugs/ hoodrats and dirty men who dont know how to hit on women properly without degrading them. music was pretty horrible and louder then hell, no one danced a single time, just a bunch of people standing around talking/screaming at each other. place started to have an overwhelming smell of smoke or pot, couldnt tell after awhile to be honest. you can find A LOT better drink specials else where as well.
also avoid this place during florida classic weekend, it becomes over run by complete morons who are either involved in drug rings or gangs. someone got shot last year right in front of the place.

Went to see Tegan and Sara. I have seen them twice before in Tampa and Orlando. The Beacham's sound system was terrible. It was much louder than other venues and extremely distorted. I could not understand many of the lyrics at all and they had the vocal levels very low compared to their albums and other venues I have seen them in. The venue itself is dirty and smelly. We dealt with the smell of rotting garbage most of the night. It was also hotter inside the venue than it was outside due to inadequate cooling I imagine. Drinks were incredibly overpriced ($15 for a buttery nipple). Staff was rude to me over not having my ID on me (left my purse in the car) despite it being a 12 and over show so ID isn't required. They let me in after some hassle. I am glad I just moved out of Orlando so I no longer have to deal with such a terrible venue.

I went once, the music was pretty good, however there weren't too many people out I the dance floor. Eventually it became extremely crowded with people just standing around chatting. It was an overall satisfying experience.

Very hood on certain days and that is one reason I don't like it BUT you can bet it is very diverse and the dress code isn't strict.

2019.... I ve been back and had the best time lol the crowd is more diverse and the music is good. I usually go on Friday nights

Horrible and rude staff had to go twice through security to get In and they were rude. the VIP area only fits two people.. the people next to me spilled their drink on me and the club would not let me take my half bottle of patron. Very disappointed would give it 0 stars if I could.

Bathrooms are so nasty... The venue has good acts, but security are up everyone's behind and the youth are so rude here. Sound is excellent, it almost makes up for the crowded feel of the place

came here for a concert, the concert itself was good, security and the staff there were AWFUL. people who were lined up since 6 in the morning were completely disregarded when they decided to open up a second line 30 minutes before doors opened and people who just got there were let in before the people who were there for over 12 hours. then when fans were calling them out and telling them it was not fair, security gave an unnecessary attitude and then completely ignored everyone. during the show, fights happened and the security did not do a single thing and the performer had to get his crew to take action so no one else got hurt. they also refused to give anyone water at pit and it wasn't till the artist had to stop the show for the third time because fans were collapsing from dehydration to get the fans water. never supporting this venue again, learn how to treat clients right.

I've never had a problem with beacham UNTIL they charged me 10 dollars for a hood attached to my dress (I honestly wouldn't call it a hoodie). THEN, I could not buy drinks because they wouldn't give me a wristband. I am of age and that is truly ridicious. I'm not going back. I did tell them they were so quick to get my money, but didn't give me a wrist band???

I'm going to have to give this venue 1 star and if I can help it I will never photograph another show here. I came here about 6 months ago and had a bad experience with security and staff. Hoping it would be better this time around I came back to photograph another show on Friday. Other than maybe 2 staff members that actually cared to help, the rest of security and staff was horrific. No one knows what they are doing and no one seems to care about doing their job. I asked one security guard for help and he straight up told me "nahhhh" and walked away. Everyone seems completely checked out and clueless as to what their job is. It's pretty bad when a fight breaks out and the headlining artist and his crew have to step in to break it up and kick the culprits out because the venue staff is standing around doing nothing to help. Again, I won't be back.

We have had the opportunity to host some of our shows at the Beacham, and every time the staff exceeds our expectation. We have brought artist like Doja Cat and Tyla Yaweh, wait til you see who we bring next.

Pretty good venue for shows. Sound quality is great and balcony tickets are legit. Only beer in cans, which kind of sucks, but understandable since most shows are completely packed; large open container would be pretty rough to deal with.

I have been to three concerts at this venue. The concerts have been great and the sound system at the venue is decent. My issue is that every time I go there, I get charged a different price for the same drink at each and every bar (on the same night). It's like the bartenders are making up the prices for anyone paying cash. Last night, I was charged $6.50 for my first well Rum and Coke....I handed the bartender $10 and was given $7 change. I get that they MAY not of had the $.50 change (and it was busy) but, the total lack of mentioning the discrepancy was just crazy. I STILL tipped the bartender and moved onto the next bar for my second round. Since this was my third rodeo at The Beacham, I knew the next bar could be the land of heavy pours and cheaper drinks. Lone behold, the second bar I went to, the Rum and Coke was $6. Quickly, I saved $.50 and was given the correct change!! Here's the kicker... The guy before me ordered a Rum and Coke plus ONE additional drink. He was charged the same $6 for both. What the hell?! I can't win at this place.

My other two experiences at this venue has been much of the same. During my second visit, my Rum and Cokes ranged from $5-$7 with no rhyme or reason. During, my first experience, I ran a tab and I had 3 extra drinks on my tab. I questioned the bartender and they were removed immediately. After the initial credit card incident, I decided to only pay cash when I returned to the venue. Either way, different tender, same problem.

If a manager or OWNER would like to contact me for more details then, I am all for that. Sadly, it seems the Owners, guests, and I are being scammed out of money.

The physical atmosphere of the venue isn't bad but the security guards are extremely rude. The rule of no recording is pretty odd and the anger of the security guards kills the vibe of a great show. I've never been to a venue that doesn't allow recording. Y'all take it too seriously :/

Saw St Paul and the Broken Bones on 12/4. I'm not sure who's fault, but I'm thinking the sound man , house PA or acoustics. It was the worst sound I have ever paid to hear. Way too loud for the room, singer's voice was overpowering the system resulting in being unintelligible. We could only understand about 10% of the words. Others around us said the same. He did say Orlando twice....I got that. If the band knew how bad they sounded they would have stopped the show. Love the band, hate the venue.
