    The stage area
    Stephen S.

    Entering the building is a restaurant dining area with a full bar. Entering the theater area has all of the 1929 atmosphere and beautiful architecture that made this a special treat. The decor is very detailed and preserved. The balcony area has food service and table seating. The regular seating is comfortable and well organized with the seating. The stage is a beautiful setting turning the once theatre screen into a stage for the performers. Acoustics are great The bar prices are reasonable and the full bar allows purchases to take to your drinks to your seating area. For many the Granada was the Suburban Theatre for many years.

    Such a beautiful venue. I recently attended a Candlelight Concert here. There's a bar when you walk in. Not sure if it was only open because there was an event happening or if it's generally a bar you can go whenever but it was packed. We headed upstairs to event in the theatre and there was another bar. Lines were long but staff did the best to keep things moving. Seating was a bit tight and since most of the seating is on the main level, if someone tall sits in front of you, makes it hard to see the stage. But we were there for the music, and I love smaller venues for music. I'm planning on attending another event here soon so I'm excited to see how they decorate.

    Such a cool venue! We attended for a live music performance, and I was sooo excited to see the space. They have a small bar area in the front which is great for getting a drink or bite before a show. Unfortunately for us, the place was absolutely PACKED so we could hardly move, let alone order. There was a huge line for the bar so we decided to skip it. Not necessarily the venue's fault, but it is on the small side, so if you want to dine or drink here before, come early. The theater itself is STUNNING! Starlight ceiling, cool decor on the walls and a beautiful stage. They also have a bar inside the theater, which was much more convenient to get to. The seating was standard chairs - again, potentially not the fault of the theater, but it wasn't the most comfortable. Because everything is on the same floor, views from the further back rows wouldn't be nearly as good as those in the front. I loveeee the decor and vibe of the theater itself and would love to see nicer seating options elevate this to its full potential!

    Such a gorgeous venue! I was pleasantly surprised that the drinks were a reasonable price for a venue - approx $9/beer or seltzer. Bar lines got a bit long at times but the service was great. Clean and ample bathrooms. Super cute venue. Will definitely come back again!

    My husband and I went here for "Taste the Movies." The movie shown was Disney's animated film Aladdin. It is a cool venue. I love the starry ceiling. The mocktails were great. The food was delicious. For the event, they have assigned tables for their guests. They don't have assigned seats--the reason I'm stating that is because the staff asked our table a few times if anyone was vegan, gluten-free, or needed non-alcoholic drinks. I was the only non-alcoholic drinker at my table, and they missed my mocktail. They try to differentiate the alcoholic vs. non-alcoholic by using glow bracelets, but I missed. Otherwise, I like the idea--it is pretty cool, and the food is good and filling. There is a parking ramp nearby within walking distance.

    Was here recently for Star Wars Burlesque. It's a very nice venue. It's smaller than I expected, but I love the intimacy of it! Staff is super friendly and efficient. My only gripe is we sat in the back balcony, which we thought would be good seats..well..it's nice and high, but it's just three rows of folding chairs so if you're short (like me) and there's two rows of tall people seated in front of you, you end up standing the whole show or you can't see anything. Would love to see them add some angled seating.

    beautiful and unique place to watch a movie. not the ideal seating for a full length film though. I'm sure it's more suited for other events.

    Main stage before show kicks off

    What a beautiful and elegant, architectural masterpiece with exceptional service the moment you arrive to the front door. The show was an absolutely captivating, fully immersive experience. It was a silent film of the original Phantom of The Opera, but with live and modern orchestra production by Philip Shorey. Beyond well done! My wife and enjoyed non alcoholic beverages from the bar and picked a T shirt after the show. You would absolutely love this theater.

    Checking in at the Granada theater for a good music show
    David P.

    Was a great experience for a music show and nice to get back to uptown as it has been some time. Was a very clean place and they had good drinks as well. Would recommend a more experienced sound guy as it was a tad bit off for some of the music. Some of the sets you could not even hear the vocals or the bass with too much guitar.

    I attended my first event in this venue in December and I would love to come back. It was lovely. The event was the Fever Candlelight Holiday Jazz concert. The entire theatre is lit only by candlelight. The theatre has a starry ceiling to add to the atmosphere. The music was festive. The lead singer had a beautiful voice and the musicians were very talented. My only wish is that they would have played longer than about an hour. We had a VIP table which meant we were seated in the back of the theatre in a tiered viewing area. So we were farthest from the stage but had our own space, were elevated from the stage, and a had place to put our cocktails. In front of us were rows of chairs and I'm not sure if there was a slant to the floor so the back row could see. They only had one bartender working and a long line so, so thankfully, another joined to help. Loved the concert and venue. Looking for another option to attend an event at the Granada Theatre.

    Gorgeous space with so much potential. Food is pretty good too. There was new staff in the kitchen so food did take a while. Didn't matter, we were enjoying the show. Our table had Mussels, short rib sliders, and shrimp tacos. All were really good. However, the service was uneven and somewhat inexperienced although very friendly and upbeat. The prices are too low on several items and, in my opinion, too low to keep this place sustainable. There aren't enough seats at this price point to generate enough revenue. (It will be really hard to keep service staff if they aren't making good money). The band was great, the sound was great too. A great stage for music events. After the "growing pains" this is going to be must see place for a good show.

It happened to be a Marvin Gaye Tribute night, which was fine by me as I love me some some Marvin Gaye. If you are from the Bay Area, this place is like Yoshi's. I got there early and got the table my colleague picked was up stairs and a good view. Our server was great. There is a little coaster that is at the table that you can turn over for service or not if you don't want to be disturbed while watching the show. I ordered my food while waiting as I know there were two showing and I kind to eat or have most of my food eaten so I can enjoy the show. I started off with the jalapeno bacon wrapped poppers and the focaccia bread. the popper were not big and bulky and had a great smokey flavor to the bacon, which were probably put the on grill and not pan or oven cooked. I'm not a big bread person, but when I am out I'll usually eat and the foccacio was great and I needed to soak up the wine I was having with my food. For the main course I got the Shrimp and Grits, because it's a jazz club and southern joint. Oh my they were good. Just the right amount of spice to the gravy. The music was also great and the ambiance was really good too. I think I'll be heading to Yoshis a little more as it's been years that I've been to a venue like this. A chill way to end the conference week.

    I have been here several times and definitely recommend it…read more Let's start with parking...there are several parking garages close by but you can also valet. I recommend pre booking the valet for $15. Then you check in at the front table and someone takes you to your table. For first times be aware some tables are communal. The food here is just alright. We had the chicken sandwich with fries. It was fine but nothing to write home about. As for the shows we have never had a bad show here. The performer's always are into the show and we have left happy with the performance and sound quality.

We had no idea where to go, but heard to go down an alleyway behind up-down and then saw a random door that we had no idea was the entrance until another group came over! We knocked and they slid the door hole open to speak, it was so fun! Felt like a real speakeasy. Once we were in, we were seated in the back. There was an hour and 1/2 limit, but that was plenty of time for us to have a drink. I ordered the Me Espresso and my husband ordered the special of the day, which was a scotch with a special twist. Both were delicious! Definitely a little pricier, but the atmosphere made up for the cost. Overall I would definitely recommend! Next time we may wait for a booth to be served out of a window in the wall, did not know about that until we got there! Such a fun touch.

The waiter was nice, but I'm not sure if he was new. He didn't know what the specials were. He didn't know what the wine was. It says on the menu, red or white and he didn't know what either brand was or the food specials on the menu. sometimes it took a while for him to come over because he was chatting up another booth behind us. We ordered the chicken that was on the menu and it was a very small piece of chicken and it was supposed to come with broccolini and there was three skinny little stalks, and there was some kind of purée underneath it. Not sure if that was potatoes or what, but the chicken had a very good flavor. It was just very small. That's my complaint on that so we ended up ordering the sweet potato fries and that was a good portion and very good. I would definitely order those again. There is parking behind the building, but you need a parking pass to park there.

They had the wrong time down but were able to fix the seating situation fairly quickly. Service seemed a little slow, but they were quite busy and still in the process of decorating/setting up for Halloween. The playlist was a hit, but the music would cut in and out or stop entirely which messed up the vibe. They usually take orders ahead online or you can order when you arrive. A few people from our group ordered with the server and I got my food first. Not only was my food kind of cold, other folks didn't get their meal for over 20 mins. I also found it odd that all the people who were seated and ready received their food last and the other folks who ordered ahead of time but weren't present for their food brought out. The food basically sat on the table for an hour with napkins over it. I'd rate the food about a 4/10. The steaks were made to order and the fish, but I'd recommend working more on their timing so the food comes out hot and fresh. They gave my dad a good waffle from someone else's order that had been sitting on the table for an hour. It was rock solid and cold. The drinks are expensive and not worth the price to me. I think this is a good place to check out if you want to hear some good music and maybe have a mimosa. If you order food, I'd recommend ordering in person and ordering things that need to be prepared fresh.

We came here to see a jazz band performing on their little stage by the window, and that was a very cool experience. They had open-mic comedy on that stage afterward which I wasn't there for, but if you like that scene this is a nice place for it. They have a modest food menu with good prices. I ordered & paid for a jalapeno cheese dog, but was later informed that they were out of those. They offered me one of their one-dollar-cheaper dogs, which was fine, except that they didn't even reimburse me for the extra dollar I paid. I reckon I should have said something, but that's not the point. Little mistake but the guys behind the bar were still very friendly and I like this place. I'll return for sure.
