Went into #4, but unfortunately some of the seats were torn up, the trays scratched up and the foot rest was rock hard and comfortable. One perk was that the seats go back/down very far! Having less people in the room was nice and we felt at a good level with the screen. We came on a busy night due to an event, but staff was very sweet and kind. Prices for snacks and drinks were comparable to the big chains. We did love the soda machine with so many flavors. Sadly, one of the machines was out of a lot of some sodas. Bathrooms were fine! Overall it was okay. I appreciate the small style theatre but not sure I'd pay $15 to go back again.

Also, the lines for food were so long and slow that I didn't even bother trying. Would have been nice to have some water but I'm not waiting 40 minutes to buy one.

My brother and I have been coming here since it first opened in the 90s. After a long hiatus, we made our return on 06/15/2026 to watch "Disclosure Day", our first visit since COVID. Tickets were $7.75 each, which felt very reasonable. Snack prices were on the higher side, but still typical for a movie theater. The movie was shown in Theater 9. The seats were a bit dated, but the reclining function still worked. The auditorium was clean, and I didn't notice any trash. Unlike their cross-town competition Veranda LUXE Cinema & IMAX, this one does not offer in-movie food service. I genuinely appreciate that, since the constant disruptions from people ordering and eating can be incredibly annoying. Overall, Brenden is still a nice place to catch a movie. 4 stars.

It's too bad they don't make the seat covers replaceable. It almost kind of seems like they gave up on the theater. There's hardly any staff. I saw maybe five people the whole time I was there. There's no one working the outside ticket booth. I'm guessing you have to do it all online now? They only had one concession stand running. I really feel bad for the people working there. No one came into the movie the whole time we were watching. To make sure that people weren't being rude or loud or anything disruptive. It definitely reminds me why I don't go up to the movies very often anymore. Yet, I found the same problem with the AMC theater in Fairfield. I'm not sure that they're keeping up the theaters nowadays.

I'm STILL gloating about this awesome brew fest! I seriously cannot believe that this was my first…read moretime ever attending. It has honestly given me a whole new appreciation for beer. I've really grown a strong love for beer; particularly for wheat, sour, saison, kolsch and pretty much anything on the lighter and less hoppier end. What's nice about this festival is that you get to explore a variety and try so many different beer types. With over 60 different breweries on deck, you won't be able to taste them all. This makes sense as this isn't really the point (well... at least not for most people who come here). You get to try some new beers (some unreleased) and some popular favorites. It's also a great way to discover some local breweries that you may not have heard of before. Went with a group of friends and we had an absolute blast. The line to get in looked pretty long when I first arrived, but it moved seamlessly once they opened the gate around noon. We were greeted with a souvenir glass and made our way to the beer stands. The big names like Lagunitas and Russian River Brewing weren't present, but most people have either tried their beers or at least heard of them before. They're so big now that they really don't need to "advertise" at brew fests at this stage of the game. We tried LOTS of beer and for the most part, it was all pretty tasty. There were a few that really stood out to me that I have to mention because they were so damn good! *Old Caz Beer Orange Crush Imperial Sour: INSANELY scrumptious! Went back three times for this and ended up finishing the last of it. I have never heard of an Imperial Sour before but absolutely LOVED it. It's like a slightly sour, nutty, crispy, and fruity flavor. Looked up Old Caz immediately and found out that they're in Rohnert Park. Already planning on visit their brewery soon! *Canyon Lakes Brewery G.I.R. Cucumber Wheat: Sooo refreshing!!! That cucumber though! Geezus! It was like heaven in my mouth. I would sip this down so quick on a hot day. This brewery is located on a golf course in San Ramon, so I already know that I'll be there soon to check it out. *Bartlett Brewing Invoking the Muse Mixed Ferm Saison: Amazing! A very oaty and wheat forward Saison which a smooth finish. Something that I'd easily order at a pub or brewery if I saw it on the menu. Also really enjoyed Firestone Walker's Cali Squeeze Blood Orange Hefeweizen and a lovely triple IPA from a brewery that I can't remember. Had sooo much beer, but these were ones that truly stood out to me. They had a good amount of food trucks out but my friends and I ended up dining at the Old Spaghetti Factory instead. When the event in 4 hours long, it makes sense to eat before, spend most of the time drinking, and then eating afterward to get the most bang for your buck. Although I must mention that I didn't have to pay to enter this year, thanks to my free ticket from Yelp East Bay! Woot woot! The live music was great and we met some really cool people. At one point, one of my friends starting serving beer to the other patrons. It was funny to watch but she was enjoying herself. The weather was great too which was awesome since it's been raining like crazy lately. All in all, I'm impressed! I have some new breweries to check out too now and I'm excited to make my way there. I will definitely be back next year and hopefully every year after that. Such a great local brew fest!

Love the Hop Grenade home brewery tent too. Always buy the shirt. Since we cannot drive after slapping down 40 small beers (if we haven't taken an uber) we'll go to Spaghetti factory and get some ice cream for a bit. Super fun, very well run and one of the best beer festivals in California.

When we got to the both, we were told what movies were showing and we chose Wicked: For Good. We were directed to the screen on the right side of the lot. We loved how the parking lot had individual bumps to park. This let us know that we all would be able to see with no issues. Concession stand: They have many food, snacks and drinks (alcohoic and non-alcoholic) options. We went with 2 options...a personal pan cheese and a personal pan pepperoni. We both had a slushie. Altogether, I paid about $26. The movie started and had to tune into 96.7 FM (I think) to hear the movie. All headlights were told to be turned off. The movie and sound was clear. This was a very smooth experience. We will most certainly go back.

In addition, we had a vegetarian in the group. They served her a gluten free vegan meal. We had to talk to them twice to get it corrected. I would not recommend this company for afternoon tea.

Toyota Pavilion At Concord…read more I am extremely disappointed with my experience at Toyota Pavilion on July 31, 2026 for the Lil Wayne concert. I purchased two concert tickets and a Premier Parking Pass specifically to ensure smooth access to the event. I arrived well in advance of the show only to be told by venue staff that the Premier Parking lot was completely full and could not accommodate pass holders. General parking was also full. As a result I was unable to park my vehicle and could not attend the concert at all. The venue oversold Premier Parking passes without having the capacity to honor them. This is unacceptable and frankly deceptive. I paid for a service that was never delivered and as a direct consequence lost the value of both my parking pass and my concert tickets through absolutely no fault of my own. When I contacted Ticketmaster for a refund I was repeatedly denied and deflected despite this being a clear case of non-performance. The parking refund was eventually processed which is an acknowledgment that something went wrong -- yet the ticket refund was denied. I also called and emailed the box office and they denied the refund as well. I am now pursuing a complaint with the California Attorney General and considering small claims court. Toyota Pavilion needs to take responsibility for overselling parking and failing to deliver services paid for by customers. I would strongly caution anyone attending future events here to reconsider purchasing Premier Parking as there is no guarantee it will be honored.

Also, you can find parking on the street. We came here to see Alantiss Morsiette Jagged Little Pill Musical. You can immediately go in the building and ther is a nice lady welcoming you and directing you to go upstairs or use the elevator for the show. There are bathrooms on the first floor and a wonderful art gallery as well. Going up the stairs in a spiral and on the second floor there were 2 entrances. Make sure to ask where your seat is for the right door to go in. There is plenty of seating with a table outside the theater. While in the theater it was small, but intimate as well. There wasn't a bad seat in the theater. There are no flat seating on the floor just goes up so all can see the stage. You can see and hear the actors clearly. There was a 15 min intercession and you can use bathroom on 1st and 2nd floor. They had drinks soda, beer and cocktails, but not too much of a menu. They also had some candy as well. It wasnt much of a selection. Everything went well and best part you could meet the actors after the show as they were outside with any meet and greet or questions. Would come back again and see a musical. It's not big like broadway audience seating but definitely some great shoes here.

The people working in the box office are amazing. Recently, I had a ticket for Jagged Little Pill, but unfortunately something came up and I could no longer attend on that day. Thinking I had nothing to loose, I visited the box office in person and explained my situation. They were so kind and understanding and exchanged my ticket for a different day. The people working at the snack cart are always polite and remain calm and professional when things get hectic. Unfortunately, the staff working the doors always ruin in the perfect experience for me. I once tried to open the theater door, not realizing it was too early. The woman at the door literally yelled at me that it wasn't open. Maybe it's because I'm a woman coming by myself and a little younger than the usual crowd, but not once have I been offered a program. I'll walk in with the crowd and everyone else is offered a program, but me. I see the women happily offering all the men and couples a program but they just glare at me, and I have to make a point of asking for one. This is not a one off situation. I'm in the theater now, ready to watch The Glass Menagerie, and it just happened again. Please speak to these people. Maybe have those working at the box office, or snack cart explain to them how to treat all patrons with respect and courtesy. One more thing. Please consider adding a message when people purchase tickets to refrain from wearing perfume or cologne when they attend a production. Maybe also post signs when people walk in? Many of us are sensitive to strong scents. I've had to change seats a number of times due to someone around me wearing too much perfume or cologne. Thank you.
