the Hampton Beach Casino Ballroom Reviews

Saw Megadeth here, sunday sept 17th, 2017. Excellent place to see a show/concert, enough room for a lot of people, good view of stage anywhere you are!!

Spacious, great sound, reentry for smoking, fairly priced drinks.

The history of this place is neat! Seats on sides of stage arent great- hard to see performers. There were a lot of overserved people at imomsohard. Some could barely walk out of venue. Thought that was interesting!

Great place to see a concert,the wife and I Saw BB king there 3months before he passed away. not a big stadium, great seats no matter where your your seat is . Food and drinks available, and reasonable prices.

First time I'd been here. Easy to get to, plenty of public parking within a couple of blocks. Venue itself is large enough for a good crowd but small enough not to be a stadium show. Several bars , some food. Big dance area. Some seating along rear. Had a good time seeing DSO .

Cool spot on Hampton Beach to see shows. Tickets are reasonable and there's room to move around if it's general admission. Also cool spots on the strip to eat/drink.

Great place to see a concert! Not a bad seat in the house.

My most recent show there was Incubus on August 11, 2018. I always look forward to shows there. Parking is easy. Entry is easy. Finding a spot to claim-easy. Sound is amazing. Stage show/production is great. I don't think I've ever felt let down. After so many years of attending shows here, I am thrilled that some really big acts still choose to play there. It makes me so happy to see them in an intimate space. Keep up the good work HBC. Keep bringing us quality shows please! ~L

Concert tickets are pretty cheap with great headlining bands. Food and drinks are expensive, but still cheaper than other venues. Acoustics are incredible. You cant go wrong when bands like U2, Led Zeppelin, Janis Joplin and Godsmack have played here!

Ron white was good, drinks are not too pricy, but the seating is terrible compared to what you think you are getting online

Just saw get the led out, this place is great for seeing a concert

I always enjoy a show at the Ballroom. It is a great small venue that creates and up close and personal experience.

Greatest spot on earth Hampton Beach the security contractor's that do public safety 6elta6 let's ya have a sick time on strip.

It's a cool place. You're never too far from the stage. They frequently book great acts. Had a problem with the standing-room only situation due to health issues. Called in advance, but no accommodations were available. Sound in the room could have been better, the bass frequencies were very muddy.

the reverb is tough, it's a rectangle space with the stage in the middle. over all its a good pace, but its not perfect.

Good enough to see a great band. Section in the back with barstools worked for shorter kids to see the show. Parking was right there.

So much fun ! Saff is super nice. Its clean and nice

A great concert venue. Great staff, always prepared for the type of concert that night.

Saw Andy Grammer and American Authors a few years back. Crammed, but I was able to get to the front. The acoustics in the venue were perfect and blew me away. 10/10 recommend for smaller concerts

It's old there's a lot of charm there. Many famous people have played there. Its right off the beach. But, the downside is that the building gets oppressively hot. Big space but at one point we're all packed like sardines...shoulder to shoulder. Hard to dance or even touch your nose. Although a mosh pit formed. Overall the acoustics was really amazing. That place can take the boom of rock and metal. Paid parking but it's reasonable amount.

Excellent venue for a concert! Not a bad seat in this place!

Good parking lot, $20 a day, short walking distance to the beach. Will use it again.

They seem to get some good acts. I saw Trevor Noah there and the sound was loud but good. I'd recommend if you're willing to pay the absurdly high ticket prices.

Ballroom is big n love going to see concerts there. Staff is very nice

Requires a climb up 2 flights of stairs. Offers good entertainment. Must pay to park.

Cool venue. I love the old Victorian Era feel to the place. Many musical and comedic greats have performed at the Casino Ballroom. Everyone from Dizzy, Louis Armstrong, Simon + Garfunkel, Buddy Guy, Led Zeppelin, George Carlin, just to name a few. Seating was comfortable, with a good amount of leg room. (people could go to/from their seats without having to disturb someone already seated). If you tired of sitting, in the back there were two bars, cocktail tables and an ample amount of open space. Lastly, there was plenty of parking available. I parked in the ballroom lot and was charged $10. My experience was positive. I'm already ckg their upcoming events!

Love the venue but hundreds of us missed a lot of the first set waiting to get into the show because of slow security checks. This needs to be fixed.

Always a fun place to see a show, unfortunately Dark Star Orchestra had an off night

Seating was very cramped at the tables, sat against the rail, we couldn't get ,had to jump over the rail to get out. The show was great !!

Super fun, outstanding sight lines - a great venue to see mostly nostalgia acts.

Always a good time. The variety of bookings is great.

Beautiful venue seats are set up in a nice intimate space

Always a great experience going to a show here love it!

It's all about the beautiful beach and wondrous ocean

Love the open floor concept. Drinks were a little pricey, but everything is all on one floor.

It's a little hard to describe this place.
Unless you're in a VIP booth, it's pretty much general admission. If you're going to see a show, get there early. It fills up quick and it's more standing room only. There are a few tables up on a back tier but you have to be early to get one. I saw 2 shows recently.
The Steve Miller Band and STYX on 2 separate occasions. Both were great, especially if you can work your way through the crowd towards the stage.
Shorter people may have an extremely hard time seeing any show.
No smoking inside building but they do have a fenced in outdoor area. Bathrooms are pretty rough but they work.

Awesome Venue for shows. Close to the stage sound is great. Get there early if you plan on having a meal.

Awesome. Seen little river band at the casino ballroom

Absolutely love this place. Best local venue in New England. Parking can be interesting but it's a venue on the beach

Great venue where you're up close to the performers.

Nasty disrespectful staff never go again would not refer

Great place to see if she'll small venue a little bit more intimate than these large places I've enjoyed many shows there

I went to see Joe Perry last night was okay forgot how much the Acoustics in the building really suck and then to have to sit there with a bunch of jackasses jumping around like imbeciles why do we have to over serve people alcohol to make everybody else miserable around them?

If your favorite artist or comedian is playing here... Do it! We've attended multiple concerts here, never have we been disappointed. Fun atmosphere and the smaller venue makes a personable experience. Local Uber makes it easy to stay the weekend outside of Hampton Beach.

I always have a great time seeing shows. There is not a bad seat in the house.

Small venue awesome views to see your favorite band!

My friends first time coming to an event and assumed it was going to be a great time. We spent over $200 on three tickets which we ordered from their site. Once we got here we realized wrong tickets were sent to us and sat in an area that only cost $20.00. Managment refused to help and basically said you're money is lost even though she showed her bank account info that she bought them. FYI be careful of ordering tickets from their main website... they said tickets on their main site are scalped

* also called the ticket agency and confirmed it was purchased and no one is sure why it happened.

Went here for a concert and there are really no bad seats in the house.

The place is nice but they need to invest in better seats, and organize it better.

Affordable tickets and overall good experience (much easier transportation, parking, etc wise than driving into boston). On site parking is literally right behind venue and reasonably priced. Get some beach pizza on your way home

Awful, didnt like anything about the place. WAY TOO MANY RULES. I'll never return and make sure my friends go elsewhere.
