    We were here for their 100 year anniversary. The coliseum has very good history. It host many event during past 100 year. Many history has been made. The 100 years celebration has day long program. We're here for the free ballroom dancing and jazz music. Many has dress up for this occasion. It was a good celebration. We have good time.

    Lovely

    Nothing special really. I came for a company Xmas party and I'm pretty sure they chose The Coliseum for its size. Normally we go to The Vinoy but apparently our group was too large this year. I disagree. The Vinoy ballroom with the outside area was just as large as The Coliseum and much nicer. As for the Coliseum, I liked the Xmas lights hanging down and thought it was festive but then I noticed other Yelp reviews and photos and noticed it wasn't done special for us or for the holidays. It looks like they keep the same lighting all year round. I found the staff to be underwhelming. They didn't smile and were not great in the customer service department. I'm not sure who made the food, (outside caterer or Coliseum) but it was not good. Very bland and dry- typical banquet food. We Ubered to the event so I didn't focus too much on parking but from my short walk, I didn't see much in terms of available parking. The Vinoy was much better and hopefully we'll go back there next year. The Coliseum looks better for like an elderly person dance hall. It is old-fashioned and probably nostalgic for St Pete people. I will say though, the ladies restrooms were lovely.

    Gorgeous holiday decor at the Coliseum St Pete

    This is a terrific location for a large work party or concert performance/dance hall event. Beautiful historic building. Their Christmas decor is outstanding - they find good staff for large functions. The food tables are beautifully executed, numerous different food stations with plenty of room to handle large crowds. We have attended a yearly work function at this venue for over five years and we love it. It's an event we can dress up for and we really look forwards to! The dessert station is always over the top, sometimes huge cascading chocolate fondues other times gourmet gelatto stations. Either way, the food is plentiful, the staff handles the crowds very well - the decor is top notch - I hope we enjoy many more special events at this historic and classic old St Pete venue!

    The dance floor was a little crowded (due to the large crowd) which made it a little difficult to throw a couple of dance moves.

    Went to a friends wedding here and was thoroughly impressed with the venue!…read more Since it's located in downtown St Pete, I was initially concerned about parking- but no worries- they had a private lot next door that was reserved for wedding guests. The ceremony was set up beautifully in a room that had the nice architecture of a chapel without the religious undertones. Cocktail hour was held downstairs in the basement area, while the transformed the ceremony area into the reception area. Staff was friendly, drinks were flowing, and a good time was being had by all. Even though the reception was in the same room as the ceremony, the refreshed set up with the tables and lighting totally transformed the room. There was a large area for a buffet, bar and eventually- dance floor. There's a lot of historic character to this venue- wood floors- wide baseboards, nice archways. Was a great choice for a wedding!

    I had been dreaming of a wedding in Tampa, so stopping into this St. Pete venue seemed like a waste…read moreof time. I walked in and quickly changed my mind. My (now) husband and I completely fell in love with the Lyceum after walking in. The venue has a beautiful 1920's charm to it. From the beautiful chandeliers to the grand piano to the gorgeous balconies, the Lyceum is truly on of a kind. The way this place functions is really interesting, too. The ceremony and reception are held in the same spot. After the ceremony, the party proceeds downstairs to the basement for cocktail hour when the staff flips the upstairs into a reception area. The space looks like two completely different rooms, but completely beautiful in their own way. I must mention the staff. Brian and Cortney were both so easy to work with. They made sure my wedding day went like clockwork and were very attentive to all of my questions. I could not recommend the Lyceum more highly. What a spectacular venue!
