the Hampton Beach Casino Ballroom Reviews

Room well ventilated. Large space. Many good artists. I recommend if you are passing ....... or not.

The sound effect is real good. A lot of bands play there

Love this place.
Recommend itinerary:
1. See a great show.
2. Have a couple too many drinks.
3. Visit Blinky's fried dough when you see it on the walk back to your hotel room.
4. Pay attention to previous step so you don't get a DUI. Local police are polite and courteous, but they will not tolerate drinking and driving.

O.A.R. put on a heck of a show in a fantastic venue.

Great venue to see a show! Lots of great acts all summer long. Right across from the beach. Plenty of pre and post show spots to eat/drink. My only complaints are the huge flight of stairs to get down to the smoking area and limited seating. It could be layed out so that there were more seats/tables on either side of the stage I think. Still, one of my favorite places to see a concert in New England.

Went here for a concert for the first time with my wife. We loved it, wasn't what we were expecting but we weren't really sure what to expect. It was Lifehouse, Switch Foot Looking for Summer Tour, and we were excited to be there. Would definitely go again!!

Nice place to catch a concert. Tickets are reasonable. Food and drinks bring your wallet.

Saw Jamey Johnson here. What a great venue for an amazing artist! The setting is intimate and acoustics are great. Hampton Beach is a little sketchy, but this venue is definitely worth the visit.

Great venue!! Love the layout and that it has AC! When I last came here for a show, it was probably 10+ years ago, and they didn't have AC.
Staff was nice, seats are newer and there's really no "bad" view. We had Center Right seats (comedy show), and view was awesome! The drink options weren't great, and I first ordered a wine - awful choice! Portion was small and it was cheap Woodbridge, for $8. Otherwise everything was great!

Great music performance center! We lucked out and got last minute tickets to Boz Scaggs! Our seats were excellent! Great acoustics! Quick and hot snack bar. Friendly bartenders. Definitely looking forward to another concert here!

Awesome venue, easy to find parking and you're right on the beach. Whats not to love?

Awesome venue! They book a wide spectrum of bands. Great sound plenty of room. Don't have to wait forever for a drink. Good security too. They don't hassle people but handle business if they need to. I just hope they don't start booking all the same bands every year.

Was disappointed with the playlist Get the Left out played April 27

I have been going to concerts for 40+ yrs, haven't seen them all, but have seen ALOT.
And the Club Casino is my favorite place to see a rock show, dripping in incredible history, the stage has seen big bands to the Doors, Led Zep and Janis, and many more.
I have seen, Heart, Mountain, The Joe Perry Project, Rick Derringer, The Cult, Tower of Power, 38 Special, to name a few, all great shows.

Not too big, not too small, the Club Casino just right !!

The best music venue around here on the seacoast. Two thumbs up!

Historic venue on the picturesque NH seacoast! David Spade was hilarious and dis not disappoint!

Nice intimate venue, but staff was useless. No one to help you find your way to seats, and if you found someone you were lucky if they even new where your seats were. Also way to many people standing in the aisles.

Went here for Jake Owen concert cost of tickets (cheap) justify venue. Sound quality was not very good and the stage is awkwardly positioned. The drinks are fairly priced. The security was understaffed and unprofessional since this was 18+ event ID were checked at door and lady almost cracked my ID bending it. I've never had my ID checked for so long at any bar or liquor store. Parking was $10 out back.

The casino ballroom is a great place to go see a band I like it when the casino ballroom has open floor I saw Bill Burr there and it was seating it was great because I had great seats but I can see that if you're stuck in the back you want to be so great they are for open floor is better where is Hampton Beach is fun to go to and even though some of the places to stay are very outdated it is funny that this little town stayed exactly the same

Great place to see a good show. Its nice how its been kept real nice. Best thing too......no smoking in there. I can breathe and go home with no smoke in my clothes.

Came here last night for a comedy show (Jim Jeffries). Pleasantly surprised! Good sized area for this kind of show & we had a blast. Drinks were good prices. Negative: none of the stalls in the women s bathroom worked correctly.
We ll be back! :)

Hampton Beach is a summer favorite, been going for years. I enjoy both the free concerts outdoors and the Casino Ballroom where almost every seat is a good one for a concert.

GREAT CONCERTS!! AWESOME PLACE TO HAVE SOME FUN AND RELAX WITH FRIENDS!!!

First time here for a concert. Nice intimate atmosphere as it was set up with tables and chairs for Joe Bonamassa. Haven't been when it is open general seating.

The casino was a great venue for the Beach Boys, no seating was bad. There was plenty of legroom and air circulation so you weren't sweating your bum off. Bathrooms were clean and well maintained. Security at the door was good, they do not allow knives of any type.

The worst website, spent over an hour and still have no ticket

A great place for live music. Just don't stand too long in one place. Your shoes WILL stick to the floor! Air circulation is great! Wide spaces to move around, if you don't rush that's stage. Large bathrooms, if you know where the bigger Women's one is. Nothing beats hitting the beach after an amazing show.

Sound mixing is terrible... Couldn't hear the drums on the last group, now they are way too loud. Horns and vocals are all over the place. Not sure who's fault it is, but it doesn't matter because the end result is pretty bad. Could be a cool venue but I had to shove napkins in my ears to cope with the distortion.

Get there early and grab a table or you will be standing all night

Saw Ratt a month ago, nice small venue for seeing older bands, that used to play larger places, drawbacks standing can get tiring and not a lot of table seating, but still a great place to get close to the stage

Happy to live close to the Casino Ballroom! Been seeing bands here for over 20 years, and it's one of my favorite music venues.

Not a bad seat in the house... Best place to see a show.

Great place to catch first rate comedians and music acts! On the main strip though there are shops and an arcade and the absolute best place to get a snow cone, shaved ice with any kind of flavoring you want, and they also have all sorts of other ice cream too!

Overall a good show they need to expand the smoking area in the back it was to damn small

The Casino is a great venue for shows, but if you are seeing a show with assigned seating, as well as general admission, spring for the assigned seats. If you go cheap for GA, and don't arrive very early, you will likely be standing all night far from the stage with no view and poor acoustics.

Amazing venue! Not a bad seat anywhere. Sound was awesome.

There really isn't a bad seat in the house. This was my second visit and won't be my last. The general admission seats are fine but there's not a lot of extra room. This time around I bought table seats. They're cramped and aren't facing the correct way to see the stage, so you spend the night turned one direction. I ended up with a crick in my neck. For the price and all things considered It's a nice venue with great shows. I'll be buying 4 seats for 2 people so we can turn to face the stage without sitting on someone's lap. Win win?

Great music so glad I didn't miss seeing John Butler Trio.... can't wait until next time they are around. Still plenty of other great bands this year. I'll be back soon.

Far better than I expected...great place to catch a show.

Great venue for shows. Drinks are reasonable. Atmosphere is always great

Very intimate and fun place. ..not to mention I met my favorite singer Noah Hunt! Where else can you do that on the fly.

One of my favorite venues love the GA ballroom setup makes for some very fun shows, for all levels of fan goers

Ratt was horrible but, the Casino Ballroom was awesome!

Good venue for General Admission shows though it can get a little warm in there.

A little small, but will worth it. We saw Brett Eldridge and Devin Dawson. Great show!

Place is big for a club but small for a concert venue which made it great.

Wonderful venue for an intimate concert experience. There s really no bad seat in the house. Great acoustics and historical venue on the second floor. The food is a bit lacking all fried. It s basically fair food. But there are plenty of spirits and beers on tap at the two different bars, which serve quickly and efficiently. This is directly across the street from the ocean. Tough to beat the location and surrounding ambiance.

It was a nice, smaller venue. It's standing room only for the most part with a few tables in the back.

It was on the boardwalk by the beach.. 2nd tier guests. A little rustic. Eclectic. Should see at least once.

Fun, intimate venue for smaller shows. Great location on the strip. We prefer the general admission shows because you can get so close. Variety of acts keeps us coming back! Only complaint is the small number of women's restrooms. We will be back for another show this fall, making 3 visits for us this year!

Denied access to a concert I paid $180 for because my gaurdian was "too young" even though she was 18 at the time. Wasn't offered a refund or anything, just turned away by one of the women checking tickets, who was very hostile and rude.

Don't put parent or gaurdian needed if you won't let in guardians who don't fit your non-existent age requirement. Make it clear online before someone else makes the same mistake I did.

Intimate venue, not a bad seat in the house, historic place.

Drinks are pricey but nice small venue to catch great performers!

The venue is a great place to,see a concert. The sound is really, really good without a bad view of the stage anywhere. Drinkbare decent too and not too expensive. We drove 4hrs to she a concert there because we know it was going to be great.

Mike and the guys on security in the back of the ballroom casino at Hampton Beach are awesome! Extremely helpful to me on what I needed the night of the Jake Owen concert a few weeks back. Mike deserves a raise or a bonus of some sort for sure! He is extremely professional and kind!

Great place to see any show! Saw Daughtry there and it was amazing!!!

Not sure who was more pathetic, the guy whistling, or the people who paid him.

Great venue for a show, not a bad view in the place
