They were very nice up until the event was paid for, then they gave us hell. Turned the music extremely low and the worst DJ offered ever. The Dj deliberately rejected changing the music despite us paying the fee to hire him. I would not recommend this venue for anyone looking to have a special day because a beautiful day will be ruined by the people running this place. I urge you to look at other venues willing to make the day special to you rather than ruin it.

Such a shame The Pressroom cannot get their act together.. I have been to over 10 concerts here…read more(because of the artist) but have yet to have a good experience with the venue. The outside bouncers and doormen act like they have NO CLUE what is going on. Their "protocol" and searching methods are never consistent, leaving you with a 30minute to 1hour wait EVERY time you come to a show. NOT ACCEPTABLE. The bouncers inside do not watch the "V.I.P." Lounges so let anyone up there.. Not worth paying the double price ticket to be on a raised balcony. Save your money! Relentless Beats always have friendly staff and people working merch. Wish they could be part of the bouncing and bar tending! Would make for a better experience for everyone. I will most likely come for more events in the future but think it's a joke that they have not done anything to improve their customer service and respect to patrons..

As gritty as the edge of downtown it lies in, The Pressroom is a middle-sized venue that's intimate…read morewhile still large enough to host some reputable acts. And I mean REALLY intimate--I don't think I've ever been so thoroughly patted down by security. By the looks of it, it could hold nearly a thousand people. In the back are several bars where you can find some decent beers on tap. Shots too if that's your thing. The acoustics are great, and you can get a good view of the stage from almost anywhere, so you won't miss a beat! Other bonuses include surprisingly clean restrooms and a spacious patio with some chairs. The little things count, too. Things that take away from the experience are how freaking hot it is. There is NOT adequate AC in this venue by any means, and the gigantic ceiling fans can only do so much. I can deal with that, but expect to get sweaty! Overall, I find this to be an above average venue that does a good job of booking a wide array of acts. It too often seems as though metal bands go to Nile, indie acts go to Crescent, and rappers visit Club Red. Shows I've seen listed here are rather eclectic, and hopefully they continue to poach from venues in the east valley.

It was the actors who did an excellent job! They served as greeters, host, cocktail servers and entertained! It's not a large venue which means every seat has a great view.

I have been to many convention centers over the years. Some have one large building. Some are…read morefar removed from local restaurants and entertainment. Others have minimal parking or ground transportation nearby. When it comes to the Phoenix Convention Center, it has all of this and more. It provides flexible event facilities, up-to-date technology, top notch hotel accommodations, and a location that is accessible by plane, train, and automobile. There are also many activities from sporting events, live music, performing arts, and dining options all within a short walk. I have attended and volunteered at national conferences hosted at the Phoenix Convention Center, visited the Food and Wedding Expos, geeked out at Fan Fusion, and most recently, the Tourney Town free event for the community as a part of the NCAA Women's Basketball Final Four hosted in Downtown Phoenix. The local arrangements committee did a fantastic job coordinating the map of their event, how to get around the building from the outside, how to get around the building from the inside, and the layout of the convention center in the first place. There are three buildings in the convention center (North, West, and South). The North and West Buildings are con​​nected in the lower level exhibit hall and via a sky bridge on the upper level. The combined space contains 2 large ballrooms, 81 meeting rooms and 502,500 sq. ft. of exhibit space. The stand-alone South Building contains 18 meeting rooms, a 28,000 sq. ft. ballroom and two exhibit halls equaling 82,000 sq. ft. All of the meeting rooms, exhibit halls and ballroom can combine to equal a large 143,400 sq. ft. event space. You can learn more about the Phoenix Convention Center by going to https://www.phoenixconventioncenter.com. On this website, you can find resources for planning an event, attending an event, exhibiting at an event, events hosted at the convention center, news, and a place to submit a RFP. There is also information for nearby parking and local transportation. You can also find a virtual tour, details about the outdoor event space, sustainability initiatives, the best of Phoenix (hotels, dining, nightlife, culture, sports, and entertainment), and more. If you'll be in Downtown Phoenix at a conference or special event that is based in the Phoenix Convention Center, you're in for a treat!

This is regarding the Great Food Expo hosted in this location. Posting for other small businesses…read moreto NEVER hand them over your hard-earned cash. As a vendor? One of the worst experiences I've ever had. This company will extort you for exorbitant amounts of money: in my case $600, and in the case of a truly unlucky vendor $1300 without an endcap or electrical citing they were a "last minute" addition. attendees are charged $10, and essentially promised free food wherever they go. I can't speak on behalf of other vendors, but since I make a very specialty item, it took me 16 hours of work Monday through Friday just to pretend I had enough inventory for what I was promised. This event was sold to me as a foodie event, with 18,000 attendees. There was certainly not 18,000 people, and the attendees that arrived treated us less than Costco. The amount of money I spent to attend, in tandem with hiring someone given the expectation that it was supposed to be overwhelming, is outright cruel. I'm a small business, amongst other small businesses, that gave up a day at a farmers market where I would've made at least three times the amount of money I did wasting my Saturday and Sunday. To top it all off? My rep Tina Matteri when called on a Monday morning to discuss the event, hung up on me mid conversation. Did I curse? No. Did I accost her? No. Did I speak sternly, venting my frustrations with how I was extorted? Absolutely. Now she's so cowardly, she refuses to call me back. I let it be known that my husband is in litigation, and that my legal fees would be covered thus it would behoove her to call me back. Still have heard nothing. Stay as far away from this event as humanly possible. One of the worst experiences I've had to date since opening as a small business. Save your money, time and effort.

Went to this venue for the first time September 2023 It was also The band's first time at this…read morevenue as well... so many names -Farnsworth Hall or The Venue. I believe when tribute bands play it's called The Venue at the Canyon House. Just sat in the regular seats in the front row just behind the tables that are more expensive. Sound system was great, the screen behind the band was a little distracting as there were different camera angles. If someone sits in front of you at the tables that is tall or in the row of seats, there is no graduated seating to see the stage. The venue was not full the night we were there and the restrooms near the stage were closed, I tried. As far as the women's restroom goes there is one stall and one bathroom, I believe it's the same for men's. I don't know how this particular place gets away with one women's bathroom when it suppose to seat 500 people. I probably would not attend here on a regular basis just based upon the bathroom situation. Apparently they also have a clear bag policy which I adhered to, but it didn't look like anybody was really checking and there seems to be a lot of security which might be a little overkill, but after all this is in Mesa,Arizona which in the winter months is a lot of snowbirds which is age 55+ -probably not going to be very many issues,but I guess when you throw alcohol in there you never know. Also the band was required I believe by the venue to take a 10 to 15 minute break which it's not necessary in my opinion.Let the band play, that's what the audience wants. Love to support live music but I'm not sure this is the place for us. Another venue that we go to quite often to see tribute bands has plenty of bathrooms,great sound,light system ,restaurants to eat dinner before the concert,and graduated seating so all can see the stage and musicians and even dance on the sidelines.

Everyone I asked about it kept saying, "It's very DYI." When I got there, I understood what they meant! It was so chill. It's very much like the old Modified space - no drinking, just listening to live music. You could either hang out in the performance area, or browse used records for hours. I did both - taking in some of the opening acts while also finding an old 12" of a band from Scotland that I like. It would have been great if there were a few more seats, but that's just because I'm old. I will definitely be keeping an eye on their calendar for future events to attend!
