The Capitol Theatre Reviews

A great theater, I especially liked the bar you can hang out before the show started.

Got pretty hot in there with all the people (& while it was 80 outside). Overall a great smaller venue, clean bathrooms, reasonable drink prices.

The Cap is an amazing place for live music! Do not turn down an opportunity to go...

I m a 55 year old woman. 've been to more concerts than I can count and attended th Grouplove show with my daughter and best friend this past Saturday evening. I saw about three songs from the band at which point I had attempted to move out to the side of crowd so I could get a better view. (I'm 5 '2.). All of a sudden this bouncer rushes me and roughly turns me around causing me to reinjure the ruptured disc in my back. I dropped my phone and started to say something and he grabbed me again and started pushing me out, apparently because I didn't. "immediately comply" with his demands to leave. I don't know if he thought I was trying to rush stage or what but ended up kicking me (and my daughter and friend) out. I was hurt, we missed almost the entire concert and it was the most terrifying things that I've ever experienced. This is a perfect example of an overly ambitious bouncer who is taking his job way too seriously. The crowd was calm, people were chill, and there was no reason for him to ruin the entire night for 3 people who really enjoy Grouploves music. This theater needs to check their personnel and this guy should lose his job. I weigh about 120 soaking wet n was there only to eat h the show. Totally unnecessary. Now I'm losing work because of my back.

I love this venue! If someone you like is playing here, you will not be disappointed. Old school theatre with great acoustics.

Saw Rob/moe.'s return to the stage. WOW , what an awesome venue with an incredible musical history!

What a beautiful venue with great acoustics... had a wonderful time seeing David Crosby.

The venue is nice, but they need to turn the air conditioning on. Also the price for a plastic cup of beer is outrageous, a can of Pabst is $5, i could buy a 6 pack for this price.

Not a bad seat in the theatre! I Love This place, they have such a great variety of music, friendly and fast bartenders, and great acoustics .

I love this theater and easy parking if you get there early.

Best concert venue outside of Manhattan. World class sound and aesthetics.

THE BEST VENUE!! The musicians and artists you want to experience... and here is where that will happen! Easy to park, next to the train station, great restaurants close by, cool bar, next door, with entertainment to hang at before & after your show, helpful staff and the theatre is magnificently restored to its original glory, the best light show.... what more could you need to make your evening a huge success!

The finest funkiest theatre on the East Coast, the home of jam band heaven, the Cap is one of those legendary halls you have to see a show in, at least once in your life. Not for the faint of heart and you may get a contact high, but the place is unique and well worth an evening of your time.

Nice theater, a little bit on the older side though. Seats were fine, ambiance was great for the concert. Solid overall venue.

Great venue, lots of fun. But God Forbid you sell out to TicketBastard (Ticketmaster) that will be your ultimate downfall.

Really nice concert hall
Just the right size

There's a reason that this place is flourishing...it's amazing! Super lighting and acoustics. Probably my favorite place to see a show in the entire Northeast.

Best venue in the North East.

Good beer, better music. Peter Shapiro has done an excellent job with the place.

String Cheese Incident at the Capitol Theatre on a Saturday night, fantastic concert!

Best place to see a show hands down. Not a bad seat in the house and awesome sound.

Awesome venue, great times... smaller intimate venue with great views of the stage no matter where you are in the theater... great acoustics

One of the most beautiful, acoustically perfect venues in all of New York. I wish I lived closer.

I so enjoyed my first experience there really great staff Awesome talent beautiful building Garcia's is connected inside & so cool. Don't think just go

St Paul and the broken bones put in an amazing show!

I've lived in the area for a while, and have never been until seeing Garbage recently. Staff was very nice, which was a good change of pace. Drinks were rediculous price wise, but I guess that makes sense. Wasn't super impressed with the acoustics but sound seemed to be an issue that night from the jump. People walking around slinging snacks mid show was a bit odd and moving out of their way kinda breaks the flow of the music a bit. Bottom line: Parking is convenient and you don't have to go into the city. Do NOT pay to park in a lot, there is a ton of cheap municipal parking within a block or two of the venue. Not my first choice of venue, but not terrible either.

Nice venue but too much noise coming from the bar area, disrupts the artist playing their music. Loud boisterous patrons overtake the music, if you want to see your favorite band or artist look for another venue or put up with the nonsense.

The Cap is amazing! It is such great thing to have in town. It has great acoustics and such a fun vibe. It brings in great musicians and acts and has a great group of regulars. It s really well run so you don t have to wait in line for long, if at all, to get into a show. They have good beer and wine options, as well as regular options.

Premiere Historic venue that features amazing music. Excellent Staff that understands the concert going experience and facilitates a hands down great time.

It really doesn't matter where you sit, you'll have an awesome view and the acoustics are awesome.

WORST sound ever. We've been there several times and each time the sound is consistently very bad/poorly mixed. Loud is great but loud, muddy, tinny and garbled is NOT good. There are many fine venues in the area that we'll patronize but sadly, Capitol Theatre has lost of as patrons forever.

Nothing to dislike about this place. My favorite music venue

First time attending this beautiful historical venue! We couldn't have been more pleased with the way things were handled and how the staff treats everyone. The theater is absolutely beautiful inside and out! We were lucky enough to catch Gov't Mule's first of a two night show! I love the mystique of this place. The staff showed genuine care for all of us crazy Jammers will absolutely be returning in the future! I can't even really describe the feeling I had walking in...just amazed

Awesome venue with an amazing history. Tough security but have to keep people in line some how. Overall a great show, and I can't wait to be back.

This is such a cool venue. The lighting was phenomenal. We went to see the Disco Biscuits on the second day of a three day run. The Biscutes always have good lighting but this venue had projections on the walls which really brought the concert to life.

Amazing venue, great history, sloped floor gives good view from all general admission area. Super convenient access from Metro-North railroad.

Absolutely one of the gems that must be experienced to really get the feel and vibe and incredible acoustics. Hats of Pete, we as music fans and historians , salute you! Trey Band 1-10/11-2020. Still smiling.

Great venue with some amazing history to it. Easy to take the Metro North from Grand Central Terminal for a show. Good beer options as well!

Always an adventure. I have never seen a show that regretted going. There is a special vibe about The Capital...

Was our first time here and we loved it. Friendly staff, clean theatre and just dazzling light effects. Highly recommend!

This a beautiful concert venue in Port Chester, NY. Steps from the train station or an easy uber ride. I love the classic interior architecture and the intimacy you feel when watching shows. Some day I hope to snag one of the box seats. I have enjoyed seating in the balcony and in orchestra areas.

Once inside there are several bars, and a variety of snacks from hot popcorn, burritos to kit Kats and chips. At the bar on the second floor they have video screens of the stage and in the bar on the first floor there is a large screen display of the stage.

I haven't been to a show that was standing room only. It might be nice. I like to dance during shows and was told to sit down by other folks.

The only thing I didn't like about the shows I've been to has been the crowd. They seem to always want to sit and they aren't always fans. That can be a bit annoying.

But the venue is beautiful and the sounds are great! I have seen 6 shows here and will be back for more!

My favorite place to watch live music in Westchester

Love the Cap. Been here several times. Bartenders are friendly. Love the intimate show setting.

Chill place, good music, beautiful bar. Has a lot of history. Definitely worth seeing a show here

Can see the band from anywhere in the venue. Nice size not too big, or too small, good sound. Good Light Shows, Friendly staff. Easy to get to. Definitely my favorite

The Capital Theater is the best place to see a show. The staff is awesome and the bar Garcia's is incredible

Great old ornate theater. Turn of the 20th century vaudeville and movie theater. Not a bad seat in the house. Saw JRAD there. Great show, friendly staff, nice layout too if you're not handicapped for climbing stairs. Otherwise no issues. Loved the marble banisters too!

Grate place, parking is non existent. Bar is expensive. Employees are rude. Otherwise it's a grate venue

Saw Duran Duran here in 2016. Great venue, very intimate and good sound.
Would highly recommend this venue be larger places. Good bar!

Wow! This is an amazing venue. Great acoustics in a historic building that has been well maintained.

Well well well, you can never tell. The sunny side of the bar is dark. Nothing quite like an intimate show at the Capitol, especially when Phil Lesh shows up!

Great place. Been going there since they reopened. Must say fantastic staff.

Great acoustics, relatively small venue so any seat is pretty good. They have multiple bars to get drinks so pretty convenient. It's an old theater so has a lot of character as well.

Top notch venue- absolutely would come to see a show here again. Not a bad seat on the house because of the intimate size of the venue. Parking and the Metro North train is super close and there's tons of great food options nearby for a little pre-show dinner, which were pluses. The best part of the theatre was the customer service! I was on crutches when saw a show there due to an accident well after I bought tickets in the loge section (upstairs), and the staff accommodated us with great ground floor seats when we showed up, so I didn't have to struggle up the stairs. This touched my heart and I really appreciated their thoughtfulness, and this alone would make me recommend this place 100% to anyone.

The thearater is a good place to see a show. No matter where you are you have a good view. But don't bring in a coat with you. The coat check line at the end of the concert is enormous. And before you even get out of the theater the bathrooms are closed. I would go see another band here but I would probably limit it to only the warmer months.

Saw many a great concert here. Plan on going back several times this year.

Had a great time in a great old theatre to great Cheap Trick sounds

Great place to see a show. Garcias bar which is part of the venue is great as well.
