the Hampton Beach Casino Ballroom Reviews

Lots of seating, but all on one level, so when everyone else stands up, you have to join in or not see the stage.

Amazing place to see a show! Not a bad place in the house to view from and cool atmosphere

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!

Amazing small venue with surprisingly good shows on occasion. You should definitely see a show here!

It's nice that is close, but the sound isn't all that good in my opinion and beer is $7.50 which is ridiculous so bring your wallet .

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.

Good place to see a band or performance. Easy to get drinks. Good seats. Saw a great rock band there.

Love the casino. Have see many a good band here over the years. Dwezil Zappa did not disappoint. Fantastic! Had potato wedges and a guac chip and dip. Veggie acceptable. Good times.

Great venue to see a show. Right on the beach and plenty of parking. Not a bad seat in the house.

Awesome place been coming here since the 90's always showcasing big name acts!!

If it's packed you can still head outside for a smoke or to cool off, plenty of food to choose from too

Low key atmosphere, great prices, and gaming selection.

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.

Its not fancy or modern but the history dripping from this place makes my soul tingle.

Awesome place to go see a band play! Very open and it has a beautiful view of the ocean outside

Hampton Beach is a great place to see a show. The only thing I do wish they'd change is to get a bit more ventilation to shed some of the heat

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.

My son and had so much fun! The staff are nice and helpful.

Great venue for concerts. Great acts, not too big and easy to get in and out of. Can't ask for more.

History of great performers and recently Vic DiBetto

We always have fun at Hampton! How can you go wrong!

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.

LIZ was exceptional in helping my sure I was comfortable for the performance. She made sure I had a chair to rest my injured leg. Thanks to the wonderful staff.

Nice club. The AC makes the shows enjoyable rather than miserable and sweating.

A good place to watch comedy shows and listen to live bands.

We saw the band " YES ' as usual the tickets almost seemed cheaper than the drinks . Pretty sickening

Historic structure with lots of great space for performances and events

Kenny Wayne Shepard was awesome. The ballroom is always a great place to see a show.

The Casino Ballroom is a big small venue. Easy to see the entertainment from wherever you are.

One of my favorite concert venues. An intimate setting with adult beverages.

Too hot and no air conditioning. Gets very crowded, food options extremely limited and not very tasty. Almost no place to sit. Sound was good though. So 3 stars and not just the one.

Good small venue to see concerts however the sound quality of the room is not the greatest

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.

Awesome venue!!! Very intimate concert venue. Looking forward to coming back.

I love all the great shows they have, historical building in Hampton beach

Had a nice time there the wait staff is always friendly

Best small concert venue in the world! Cheap drinks and not a bad seat in the house!

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

Nice small venue, good drinks, as overpriced as would be expected. Very tight seating, absolutely no elbow room.

Great venue, fairly intimate setting. Able to get right up to the stage when general admission.

Good seating. Roudy croud. Show was ok
Will go back.

Great concert hall along a beautiful coastline of Hampton beach

Enjoyed the Tesla concert everything was under control it was a great night!

Great small venue that books a wide variety of performers

$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

The place is great, the food is nasty. Even a little effort would be nice for the price of a stale pretzel. How friggen hard is it?

I have a hard time hearing in this venue.. But I did have a great time.

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!

Great place and area to visit. Could use some A/C inside the place. Alot to do while waiting for show.

We saw Rumours of Fleetwood Mac here. Was so much fun! Great venue and will definitely be returning.

Balcony is floor. Everyone walks in front of you..... Ok....nothing great.
