The Capitol Theatre Reviews

A++++++! Great place to see a show. One of my favorites

Awesome venue. The bouncers are kind of a pain in the add but the venue is beautiful.

Charming place and in a picturesque town called Port Chester that I have always liked since I thought I was close to Purchase NY.
We went for a private concert by Wyclef Jean and yes, there were many people and the theater was a bit small.
I recommend it.

Capitol is always a great time. State of the art sound. Security Usally friendly

I have seen several shows here and it's still a favorite venue. Visiting Garcia's before and after the show is also a treat. Many great places to eat nearby, and easy to get in and out.

The most laid back, good vibing venue around. I love this place!

Great venue for a show with a pretty good bar. A block away from the train station so very easy access from Manhattan. Problems are that the coat check, which has a very long line, and security gets more intimate than most TSA agents. I was patted down, had to empty my pockets, and open my chapstick before I could enter.

Beautiful, historic theater. Great acoustics and an overall friendly vibe, one you get past the surly pat down at the entrance.

Great venue but the security was absolutely ridiculous. Once inside (Only thing missing was the machine from the airport where you hold your over your head. I really have had less of a patdown from police and tsa. ) I was constantly asked for my ticket and I was way up in the balcony. Do they really have a problem with people trying to get as far away from the band as possible?

All that being said when not being hassled by overzealous staff the music sounded awesome. Very nice and similar to Count Basie theater in Red Bank or the Van Duzer added Humboldt State. There's not a bad seat in the house. I think the security would have been not as a parent if I had been on the floor. But I happen to have an aisle seat so I was who they kept coming to.

Saw String Cheese Incident here. This place is known for the Grateful Dead & many other fine musicians playing here over the years. There's a bar connected to the theater aptly named "Garcia's"

Beautiful old theater, well run, good staff, TVs at the bar to watch the show while you grab some refreshments. All good. Check it out.

This is the greatest theater around. GREAT staff and security , great bartenders and such a grand place.

Lovingly restored venue highlighting some of the best bands in the world! It just keeps getting better. Also, Garcia's (bar, smaller venue) is attached to the Capital and offers up and coming bands all the time! The two venues compliment each other EXTRAORDINARILY well!!

Beautiful place to see a concert. Small and intimate. Parking is tough so get there early! There are some pretty good ethnic restaurants very close to the theater.

Saw the Pink Talking Phish play and it was an amazing show. Lights, sound was excellent, lines to get in was quick and drinks inside were pretty reasonably priced. Definitely would recommend.

Beautiful space, historic building, great bar attached to space (Garcia's)

The Capital Theatre is an amazing venue, that knows what they re doing. So many greats have played here, and you can see why. It was a top notch experience from the beginning to the end.

Good venue but no seats down front. No readmission, no anything.

This old gem was remodeled and is up and running with a nice new face good luck to the owners.

Epic place for concerts and not as over priced as most....not a live nation venue!!!

Saw Slash with Myles Kennedy here. It's a pretty cool place with a great history.

It s just really weird going to a venue that specializes in hippy music that has their security all in tie dyes busting people for smoking pot. It was a complete distraction from the show and very hypocritical. Not to mention that they were super strict about getting to the upper level without a ticket. The floor was way to crowded and there was room in the upper level but they didn t want you up there. That was a first. Most overrated venue going.

Beautiful venue. Sound from upstairs even better than general admission.

The sound system is outstanding and the lighting effects for each act are incredible thanks to all of the space on the walls! Love this place!!

Home of the deadheads. Phil lesh's 2cd home. Best venue ever and kindest staff. Go to see Phil 6/8 times a year. Love this place.

Port Chester and the Capitol Theater never disappoint when it comes down to the music experience.

The Capitol Theatre is one of the most iconic performing arts venues in America. If you are reading reviews curious if this place is worth spending a night in, I would highly recommend the experience. I can't wait to go there again.

Best place to see a show .Amazing sound and lights.

I've been there a few times and the experience reminds me of the mid 90s where big performers would play smaller clubs for normal prices.
No negatives to mention.

Great venue to see a concert! I've never been to the capital theater before and honestly I regret that! It's a great venue! Great acoustics and lighting! Highly recommend!

Almost Queen rock the place. Love everything about this location very friendly and very costumer friendly

I love this venue!!!! I have had private parties there and seen amazing bands play! It's clean and we'll staffed. Drinks are great and the bartenders are very friendly

Great venue. Professional staff and tight men's room.

just love this place except the inside ushers could have a little more human like actions

Loved this venue...long drive from eastern long island but worth it for the vibe and the place!

Awesome old venue. Beautiful and picturesque Music Venue located in Manhattan within walking distance to Central Park. This theater was built before modern acoustics were available and it is laid out in such a way as to have incredible audio in almost every position in the seating chart.

Fantastic venue! Caught several shows there and all of them were great

Great place to have a HS graduation. The stage was nice, the lighting on point and the security wasn't a hassle. I wasn't such a big fan of the bars, but they were good nonetheless.

Best live concert venue in the area. Can t wait for Anders Osborne and Galactic!

awesome venue, good places to eat nearby, great bands come and play all the time

Great theatre for all kinds of music for 3000 fans. The acoustics & the audio are perfect. There's not a bad seat in the house. Again, the seats in the balcony need to be replaced. They are extremely uncomfortable, plus the bathrooms also need to be modernized. They look like they are from the 1920' S. The doors to the stalls are so awkward that it is almost impossible to get in or out. Still a good place overall, but Needs Improvements.

We took our son, who is in a power wheelchair, to the Capitol. Very disappointing experience. We were squeezed in between rows which made for a very uncomfortable show. Would not recommend this place if you are wheelchair bound. Our first experience there was great, but this time my son felt like a burden to everyone. I wish I could write a glowing review, but find it impossible.

the place is great and the concert was fantastic - I did lose my glasses the night of the show and called the next day - they found them and were so helpful and shipped them back to me as I live 2 hours away - thank you Jack again for your help - you are awesome!

Small inti.ate place usher was friendly great place to see a show

Great venue with a great bar with big screen TV's so you don't miss the show while grabbing a drink

Beautiful and dramatic theater space with lovely ushers.

Food was so fresh and delicious.....and the drinks are on point

Love this venue. Great room to hear music, acoustics are one of the best in the country. Love how there are no seats on the floor so you can just hang with as many friends as you like. Just invite everyone, doesn't matter that you don't buy tickets together as long as they are all floor GA. A great party, great bars, very mellow, friendly and courteous staff. Just the best!

There once was rock, and we have found it once more....
