Once inside things are no less volatile... smmoth as silk on a Saturday but mayhem on a Tuesday. Steely Dan was worth the hassle, the elderly remnants of. Chicago were certainly not. Pro-tip, arrive early or risk getting caught in a vehicular and human bottleneck 20 minutes before showtime. Barely three stars.

I have fun but it's not the best place to see anything you actually wanna hear…read more I'm pretty sure I've been here throughout the years. I think my first concert was here but we got so high on the way down I only remember two songs from the opener and none of the trip. This most recent visit was Friday. They wouldn't let my wife bring in her purse. However they let someone bring in a larger one right before her. So she drew attention to this. They didn't care. She had to go buy a $10 clear bag. This really wouldn't have been an issue if it wasn't so inconsistent. Also like I know you can charge whatever you want for food and drink cuz it's your venue and all but should you?! Anyway lawn tickets aren't really worth it. It's like hey you sit outside and watch other people attend a concert.

I've attended many events here since it opened approximately 30 years ago. Current food and…read morebeverage options are OK but nothing special: The food is pretty much average venue concession fare. There are not many beer choices, a lot of hard seltzer / teas, etc. and a reasonable selection of spirits given that this is an entertainment venue. Prices are expensive. For the first time, I recently purchased access to the (non-VIP) lounge located outside at the south end of the complex adjacent to the Battleship NJ. The cost was $35, but it worked for me because: 1) I was waitng for friends that used the Riverline to arrive 2) I was by myself 3) I needed to arrive early to get a good parking spot 4) Hanging out in the ($40) parking lot would have been my only other option 5) The weather was outstanding The lounge provides a separate entrance for concert attendees that opens an hour prior to the main general admission access, a dedicated bar, waitress service for food items, and lounge-only bathrooms. Seating is available at the bar, at tables or in an area of comfortable patio-style furniture with chairs and sofas. Much of the patio furniture area is covered by a canopy. The arrangement of the furniture is conducive to interacting with other concert attendees. The bathrooms were clean and well maintained. Wait time for the food to be served was only a few minutes. Food and beverage prices are the same as elsewhere in the venue. The lounge provided everything I wanted given my situation, so it was worth it for me.

I had a good hot dog in spite of the fact they refused to put onions on my hot dog…read more I was extremely disappointed that I was not allowed to add onions to my hot dog on account of the fact that another menu item had onions. The dog was still good but it would have been better with onions, this place really makes you take for granted simple hospitality. I understand onions are not free and not on the hot dog I ordered, but I find it hard to rationalize not giving a guest onions on their hot dog if the restaurant has them in house.

Speaking of bars, Cellar Dog has beer, wine, and cocktails. And a house green tea shot. Hungry? They've got typical bar food. I like their Cellar dog - a hot dog is perfect with almost any drink, especially at a reasonable $4 (credit accepted). I've been here on quiet nights, and haven't experienced a cover charge (yet). There's a stage for live performances, and plenty of TVs playing sports (usually). Like pool? There's +4 tables available when you're feeling competitive.

We showed…read moreup at 6 AM to camp out for the concert, fully prepared to spend the next 12+ hours sitting on the ground, and we were definitely a little miserable that early in the morning. Derek completely changed the start of our day. He was such a kind soul, incredibly friendly, brought us chairs, checked on us, and genuinely cared that we were comfortable and were going to have a great experience. That kind of positive attitude at 6 AM says a lot about a person. Derek made us feel taken care of before the concert experience had even really begun. He is exactly the kind of manager you want representing your venue and setting the example for his team. Such a great way to start what ended up being an amazing concert experience.

Grateful doesn't even begin to cover it. I had an amazing…read morefirst time experience at the Filmore. It's been a long time since I've been to a concert, and what I experienced at Tash Sultana's show was unlike anything I've ever witnessed before. Drums. Guitar. Saxophone. Flute. Bells and sooo much more. Vocals that soared from whispers to powerful crescendos. Every instrument seemed like an extension of Tash, and every note felt intentional. People often say music is healing, music is therapy, music is universal. Last night, I felt that. Not just heard it--felt it. The audience wasn't there just to watch a performance. We were there to witness artistry. To share a moment of connection through rhythm, sound, and frequency. For a few hours, strangers were a community united by music/frequency. The team at the Fillmore made the experience even better. From security and "Jay" at coat/merch check, "Meghan" Guest Services, "Bob" food & beverage service (Card Only). I enjoyed my "Vegan" Burger and the refreshing Wildberry beverage in a commemorative Filmore cup. Thank you for the recommendation, Blithe. "Steve" provided kind seating assistance upstairs. Everyone we encountered was welcoming and helpful. Those small acts of kindness matter and should be acknowledged and are very much appreciated. And to Tash--thank you. Thank you for sharing your gifts so generously. Thank you for creating a space where people could simply be present, breathe, feel, and reconnect with themselves. I've traveled through a lot in life, but last night reminded me why "live music matters". Some concerts entertain you. Some concerts remind you who you are. Somewhere along the way, my son and I became known as "the cake people." If you know, you know. If you haven't experienced Tash Sultana yet, do yourself a favor: Tune in. Thank you again Filmore for hosting this memorable experience.
