The theatre is easy to spot from normal traffic and parking garages are available nearby. The staff is very friendly but the check-in process can be slow. Restrooms are adequate but the line is usually long before a show or during breaks. Drinks and snacks are available for purchase and the prices are comparable to others venues. The seats are comfortable and the sound and acoustics are good.
This is a beautiful historic place in downtown Columbus. Really a must see, it is amazingly intricately beautiful! We went to see the hip hop nutcracker which was a great show. Even though the place was sold out the restrooms were very accomadating and there was barely a wait and plenty of time to get there and back and grab a drink before the 2nd act. Oh and Yes, they serve alcohol :)
I loved this theatre because it is massive, and the times I have been here, there have been really good shows. It is located in down town Columbus. The garage a little walk away is usually crowded after a show. The show room is massive, with at least 2000 seats. There are balcony seats, floor seats, and the special VIP seats on the sides. Those are the seats with a lot of room, 2 to 4 chairs, and they block as little bit of the view form the show. When I sat there, I saw 1 and 1/2 of the screen. For the shows I saw though, the screen was not important.
This is a beautiful building. Full of history and charm. Even the far back offers a great view of the stage.
The palace theater is one of the older well maintained and well used theaters in the downtown Columbus area. I've attended a few shows here over the years. The theater is well laid out with good seats at every level..while it isn't as large as its neighbor the Ohio Theater, I still enjoy coming. Typically here you'll find comedians, speakers, and smaller musical groups on stage.
As far as parking goes: there are garages nearby and plenty of street parking. All meters are free on Sunday's, federal holidays and after 10pm. If parking on street double check signage to make sure you do not get a ticket.
No leg room. Anyone over 6' tall won't be comfortable.
Beautiful venue for a concert. ZZ Top
Very classy, clean seat and plenty of ushers to help. Acoustics were good and view had no problem front row from the mezzanine. Would see another show here.
Went and saw Flight of the Conchords here last year with my now wife. Loved it! Best show I've ever seen.
I saw The Goo goo dolls here years ago, but it was great. This is a gorgeous place that needs to be seen and experienced no matter who is performing. This is a place for making memories that last a lifetime.
The staff works perfectly in sync to get you through the process of finding your seat. Simply amazing how they just seamlessly guide you through the process.
The stage has great viewing from the balcony, mezz, and floor: I've now had tickets for each.
Simply a great time.
I was there for a concert on Saturday night. Beautiful venue, but the line for food and drinks was ridiculous. I had to wait 45min in line just to get a beer. I had three separate people show me where my seat was (something I could have done on my own). The line never got shorter. After the show started they closed the downstairs bar (making the line longer again). Then, we were told that the upstairs bar was closing. I waited 30 min in line while 2 bartenders tried to serve everyone, all while 2 other people were behind the bar packing up! Beautiful venue but given my choice of venues for concerts, I will never go back there.
The show was amazing. The seats are the same ones from 1920. If you're 5'2 and about 120lbs the seats are perfect. Anything bigger and it's a very painful night. Low to the ground, no leg room, no hip room. I paid top dollar to sit in the front row. I was actually grateful to be put in the "pit" on a basic hotel conference chair. I don't care that it cost me $300.
