The Capitol Theatre Reviews

I was there for As the Crow Flies New Year's Eve 2019 with Marcus King and MKB. What an amazing venue and what a great time

I hope to get back to the theater soon.. what history in a great theatre I'm glad that it's back on the rise. Would love to try my hand at some photography and similar theaters across the country.

Thanks again..

Great place for a Reggae concert
Great staff. Plenty parking.

Good venue when they have a show you would actually want to go to. It's mostly Phish / Grateful Dead type stuff. Very rarely do they branch out from that.

Recently I was the auctioneer for Sunrise Association Annual Gala and was really impressed with the great Onsite team. A great venue with a great team in place to make sure your event runs smoothly.

It's an older venue, but the inside is amazing. If you're up in the balcony looking down at the stage, it feels like it's just you and the performers, you can't see any people on the floor in the house. Yes the floor and stairs are slanted (no you aren't just too drunk) definitely go see a show here, port chester is a nice place to be.

Great historic venue with great sound and lighting.

Not a bad seat in the house! Great selection at a good number if bars.

Great venue, saw Gary Clark Jr. there and it was amazing. Reminds me of the Beacon Theatre in NYC but smaller.

Beautifully restored rock venue in the middle Port Chester. There's are no bad seats in the house and the seats themselves actually have enough room for a human being and are comfortable!

Was in last row of venue but it sounded like I was front row center. Definitely come back

This venue is an amazing place to see a concert. As Trey Anastasio (lead singer of Phish, and The Trey Anastasio Band) noted during a show in January 2013; "I love the acoustics in this theater."
Well worth catching a show here.

They have a lot of amazing shows and grate sound. Friendly staff, A little pricey but that's New York. Dancing friendly venue. Coat check, designated smoking sections, snack food and of course booze.

Beautiful, intimate venue. Staff are friendly and helpful.

Traveled from FREEHOLD NJ to see CONCERT THERE LOVED IT !

Historic venue with reasonable prices, excellent sound, conveniently located to transportation & parking, with plenty of restaurants within walking distance. Ground-level is usually general admission with reserved seating on the upper level. don't forget to look up at the dome to appreciate the projection mapping during the show.

The best music venue in NY. Fantastic bands and a real chill staff

Best place to see live music in Westchester and Fairfield County area, hands down. Great beer selection, amazing sound and lighting system, and great overall vibe. Love seeing shows here. We visit at least 10 times a year. Garcias next door (attached bar) is great for smaller shows too.

This is a great place with a great history. I ll admit, when I first moved to this area I would drive by the place in the day and think, Look at that old closed-down theater, so sad... , not realizing that it was actually one of the greatest spots around here to see shows. It is spacious while being intimate, and classic while being modern. If you live in this area you need to visit at least once, just to know what kind of place is in your backyard.

Great venue, first time there, would highly recommend

Great venue for live music. Beautifully restored. Great acoustics. Nice size. Stevie Wynwood and daughter performing.

Amazing concert venue. Historic theatre. Glad it's open again. Great sound and easy to get up front at shows.

A gorgeous, well maintained theatre with old school charm. There are several in-house bars within the building and the largest sold popcorn, pizza and a few more items. All of the employees were friendly and helpful. My only complaint is the failure to stop audience members from using flash photography and recording during the show - painfully distracting.

The place was ok (we like the show), but not exceptional. Does not look to be very well maintained, they have food (popcorn, drinks...not very cheap // 4$ bottle of water // - lady had and attitude if you accent is not perfect... borderline rude) and have a bar inside (alcohol)...has some parking around (a train station) but parking spots hard to find in weekend. Average, not impressed.

What a great venue. Great sound and assigned seating. Full bar. What else do you need?

Wonderful
Best theater in NYC and the burbs

Beautiful place inside. Great music, the drinks are priced a little high, the men's bathroom is another floor up or down if your sitting in the Loge/Balcony.

Beautiful historic venue. No bad seats. Amazing bar next door.

Historic music venue and a great place to see shows. Added bonus because it's right down the road from where I work.

Great venue and convenient to train and parking. Park by movie theater (free) rather than the pay lot ($20) a block closer

Simply one of the best places to hear music. Love the Cap! This is the closest thing to the Fillmore that most people will experience.

I've seen a lot of shows here in the past six years, nice old theater, always know what to expect:)

Saw Queens of The Stone Age. Great venue. The bar/lounge area was spacious.

A legendary rock palace with the best sound, lights and artists.

Worst sound I have heard in 30+ years of concert going. Attended 107.1 Peak Birthday Party headlined by Moon Taxi. I love Moon Taxi but this was a terrible showcase for them. Sound was poorly mixed, extremely loud and muddy. Nothing wrong with loud but not when it sounds like a wall of pulsating distortion with unintelligible vocals it s BAD!

I could talk about the capitol for hours. I've seen 22 shows there (so far) , and each time has been a unique and great experience. Fantastic venue all and all.

Great Concert venue, Also home to the Garcia bar. It's a staple in Port Chester

Pretty sweet theater, and you can see from everywhere. Unless you got a tall mfer in front of you. The sound is good for a theater too.

Very nice venue with good acoustics. They have several bars inside in many areas and You are allowed to bring the beverages to your seat. Good selection of craft beers.

Went for an Explosions in the Sky concert and the overall experience was nice. Parking is very limited, though.

A fun, old-time-y venue that has all folding seats. Acoustics are pretty good. Hopefully, one day this theater will get a badly-needed facelift and be brought to its potential glory.

Went to a Tame Impala Concert, must say security was way too anal at this theater. They were constantly stopping people who were trying to smoke, they also were very intrusive with deleting any photos or videos you took during the concert, and they searched you at the entrance like TSA. I expect a little more accommodation considering how much I spent to see the concert.

Great concert venue. Great sound! Great lights. If only the beverages were more fairly priced!

Beautiful theatre. It's small but thanks to it's size and shape pretty much any seat has a good view

A beautiful historic concert hall. Great place to watch any kind of live show!

We saw tedeschi Trucks loved it, got seats in mezzanine this time bc the concrete standing room only is a killer on the feet

Historic and still relevant as a performance space. Plus Garcia's is a great post performance hang out.

I love The Cap! One of the greatest live music venues in the country. I compare it to being a miniature Beacon Theater. So many great shows there, and an amazing history behind this theater.

Say "hi" to Disco when you're there, he keeps the place under control

The venue is fun, easy to see the stage, plenty of bars and rest rooms. I wish the sound upstairs was as good as it is downstairs, though.

Great place to see as concert. The renovation brought this place back to life.
The list of some of the greatest in rock history that has played there is mind boggling.
Can't forget the staff of workers, very friendly and helpful. It is always a memorable time for my friends and myself.

Nice concert venue. You don't need to go all the way into the city for a night out.

Love this place. I've seen more than 50 shows here in the last 3 years. There is street parking all around the theatre and a couple of lots nearby so I have never had to park more than a five minute walk from the place. You only have to feed the parking meters till 9pm so it usually costs around two dollars to park. The theatre itself is great. The seats almost all have great views of the stage. The sound is good and the people that work their are friendly. Drinks and food are comparably priced to other venues. My only complaint is that they have started selling tickets through Ticketmaster. They used to sell all their shows through Ticketfly. Ticketfly charged fees but they were reasonable and the process to buy them was easier. Which meant you could actually get tickets when you tried. Since they have started using Ticketmaster, I have tried buying tickets to four different shows and have not been successful once. You have to go online at least fifteen minutes before the on sale time and wait in a queue. Then when the time comes the screen reloads and you attempt to buy tickets. But every ticket you click on says another fan beat you to it. If you are lucky enough to get a ticket, you have to pay fees that are three times higher than Ticketfly charges. Ticketmaster is a corrupt and scummy company that has been sued multiple times for their business practices. They are ruining the live music industry and now they have ruined my favorite place to see shows.

Had a great time seeing the biscuits this past weekend! Amazing venue and atmosphere. Sound was dialed in, light show was unparalleled and still had room to dance when they sold out the last show. Had a great experience with bartender Kiley who had great service and made quick drinks! Would recommend highly!

It's the Cap! What else can you say? Great venue, insane beer menu, just awesome
