What a cool joint doing great work in the community. I love the intimate space and great murals in the restrooms. I'll be on the look for more performances and events at Barking Legs. read more

This theater might sit 100 people like the other reviewer says. I was here for the first time last night. I never heard of Barking Legs Theater. The show here was kind a like a play if you ask me complete with 4 actors and 4 actresses and even a piano player. It lasted for about an hour and a half. It was funny with some skits that even made you laugh. They probably had 4 or 5 skits and each was ended simply by someone running around the stage. Then, they would act out a different scene. I guess this is the improv way. They have a web site where you can check their schedule for upcoming events. Yeah, I would go back again, you bet. read more

This spot is so cool. It's unique and quirky and is just what is needed for local artists and performers. Low key and unpretentious, it's roomy and there's not a bad seat in the house. I've seen Improv shows, jazz shows, and everything in between. It's so great to support a local place that gives people a chance to show off their talents. read more

Excellent lounge for jazz! Wednesday night I rolled up, ordered wine, and found my way to the front row-up close and personal with the talented musicians. Alan Wyatt' group didn't disappoint! Was super chill & authentic old jazz. In fact the whole ambiance had a beatnik gen vibe I was really digging on. I can't wait to check out Friday nights performance art. Thank you Barking Legs! read more

They have one of the best roomy stages for these amateur bands. Had fun one we got past the Turkish man in charge of taking our cover charge!! He gave us a 15 to 20 min speech about how he hated trump!! I will never go back!!! read more

I attended a Yelp improv event here. This is a very neat little neighborhood theater. When you enter the building, there is a bar area with some interesting artwork on the walls. It looked like they stock many different brews and wine. I loved the huge jade plants they have in the front windows! The theater room is small, but seats a good number of people. They have random performances throughout the week and I hope to come back and see more local talent. Kudos to this theater for keeping a home for local artists to perform in! read more

Had a bunch of laughs at the expense of a few yelp reviews filled with mispronounced annunciation or double innuendos. The place isn't something you won just not stop at but because of the yelp invite we stopped in and glad we did. Sometimes they day laughter is the best medicine. Tonight having to deal with a serious family illness taking a few hours for laughter was worth it.. read more

Barking Legs Theater - It is yelping time - Performing Arts Near Me - Chattanooga, Tennessee

I must have driven by this place a million times but never really noticed it. Apparently it's been a Chattanooga landmark for local thespians, musicians, and other performers for 25 years. My wife and I attended the Improv Yelp Event last night with several fellow Yelpers. I'm glad we did as I probably would never have gone by myself. Wow what a treat! The performers used several Yelp reviews as the basis for their skits (i.e., in real time being improvisations). They poked fun at some of the misspellings, improper use of words, and just general humorous situations. It was great for an evening of laughs. I applaud these people as you can see the passion they have for the art rather than the dollars. Although I'm sure they wouldn't mind modest donations being a nonprofit organization. Thanks to Stephanie our local Yelp ambassador and the folks at Barking Legs. Loved it! read more

We were visiting Chattanooga and stumbled upon Barking Legs as we were planning our trip. We went to a Bluegrass performance last night and overall it was awesome. The performers were fantastic and it's a fun, intimate space. Be prepared for old seats, which isn't too big a deal. Staff I interacted with were very nice. Only observations (wouldn't even call them complaints): 1. We bought tickets online, in advance, as out of towners and there was no explanation or indication of how to get tickets or get in. When my dad inquired he got a bit of a rude response that seemed to assume we understood how this system would work. Turns out we were on a handwritten piece of paper. This all could have been mitigated if at the time of transaction there was a message that said: you'll be on the list at the door. 2. No one from the theater introduced the performers, which would have helped some awkward intros from the artists. They also started about 15 minutes late. But it's a great place and very worth supporting. read more

Great place to check out if your a local here in Chattanooga or just driving through! Great vibe with cheap beer and good music, can't go wrong with that! A really unique lounge within its self for all walks of life. Deffitnly will be coming back! read more
