Saw the Billy Idol Tour a few years back, come from playing before literally thousands at Wembley Stadium, London right straight to the small venue comfort of the Hampton Beach Casino Ballroom. Lots to be said for this transition. Seen everybody there from the Ramones to George Thorogood and the Destroyers. One of the best concert venues in the Northeast. Five Stars!!!!

Great venue to see a show at and there is usually a good line up. The only downside is it can get a bit stuffy and unbearably hot when there is a big crowd. I have been here a few times and typically avoid summer shows because of the temperature in the venue.

There are only two bars which can cause a problem during set break (like many concerts). Drinks are pricey and I would stick with just the beer. If it is an all ages show they make you go into a cow pen to get your drinks. You cannot leave this area until your drinks are finished. Once again I avoid those shows because I find those pens to be a nuance.

Security is great but for the love of god DO NOT TRY TO LEAVE THE SMOKING AREA. I can t tell you how many times during dark star, badfish ext., I saw someone jump the fence and tried/failed to comeback in... Getting in is a breeze with a light pat and a quick search of your personal bag/belongings. Have a great show!

Bonamassa was on fire. The only complaint would be that we had front of the section seats. Missed first 3 songs because late people just stood in the aisle and had no idea where their seats were. Pick seats left of stage because right of stage people just stand there confused.

The historic Ballroom is smack dab on the boardwalk in the ocean in Hampton Beach New Hampshire. The venue is quirky as it appears to be that there are a hundred stairs in order to get in the building period once inside though you're up close and personal to the artist. Most of the shows are standing room only but occasionally some have chairs. Great place to see a show for a weekend getaway.

Really enjoyed this venue. We came after doors opened and got great seats at the cafe and were able to eat drink and enjoy the show. The venue was nice and open and had a large capacity. Our server was great. We will come see other shows here.

The Casino Ballroom has been around over a hundred years. The likes of Louie Armstrong and the Doors and comedians George Carlin and Jeff Dunham have played at the Casino. The ballroom doesn't have a bad seat. They also offer members deals that let's you in before the other general admissions ticket holders. I have been there 45 times at least.

Depending on the performance you are seeing determines if you have assigned seats or stand-up only, beware of this. Acoustics wernt great. Within walking distance of parking lots, restaurants and the beach. Makes a nice date night. Hesitant to return simply due to having to stand for 3 hours.

They seem to have upgraded the place from when I was last there years ago. It was absolutely packed when I went to see Brit Floyd but still very comfortable. We really liked the experience and will definitely go again

$120 for 4 tickets and unable to park the car for 3 hours !
Parking lots were charging $20 and a few for $30 and $40-----they were all FULL
Beach parking also full
Up and down that strip for 3 hours and no apology, no refund, no credit or offers WHATSOEVER
It should be ILLEGAL to sell tickets and not provide parking.
They KNOW there is no place to park and they sell out....it should be law for them to provide parking for their establishment
We MISSED the show....met people coming out because it was ALL OVER by the time we got a spot
for a 15 minute walk TO the ballroom.
I, myself, have NEVER BEEN INSIDE.....that building..... but having lived here all my life I know enough to bring my own toilet paper.....
They have become less RUDE about it over the years (they were required to LEARN THAT) but simply TAKE THE MONEY

Every year on vacation, I come with my family either on the bus, or when I rent a car. We always have a great time, too bad McDonald's is not there anymore as their prices were more affordable than what they got for coffee shops! We ended up finding a place past Ashword Hotel, I think they are greek. Such nice people and so friendly; we will definitely visit again for sure!
