Get there earlier and leave early if you don't want traffic! There is multiple street sections that are FREE!! We were lucky enough to park in somebody's driveway for less parking than the venue charged but even with parking at the venue, we've only had to wait a short while for exiting. A little walk isn't that bad! It also depends on WHO is performing. The crowds will be different based on the show so keep that in mind. A Bob Marley tribute had LESS people, HALF the stadium while sublime was SOLD OUT and completely full!! Know your audience!

They were setting up for what looked like a guest DJ of sorts? Once the DJ started their music, it was VERY loud which was a little disappointing. We didn't try any of the food. We did try some of the cocktails though and they were all great. Also tried the paper bag beer because we couldn't resist the mystery. The beers were 16oz cans of craft beers. not bad! Overall, really liked the place!

There are couches in corners, tables, and bar seating. Only the bar tender seemed to be serving so service was very slow.

Thank you!

I loved the framed posters on the wall from previous local events and the mural near the stage. I could've seen 21 year old Lanasha living it up in her punk era at this place. Service was okay. I got a tequila club which was only $4 during happy hour, woo! There is a $20 card minimum which I wish I had seen before ordering. They offer infused shots as well, definitely fun! I saw cucumber vodka, pineapple rum, and jalapeño tequila. Good spot for a quick drink. I'd be interested to visit when they've got a band in.

Jason and Nicole, along with their team are extremely accommodating and go above and beyond to ensure your event is just what you desire. They provided a list of recommended vendors and they were all excellent to work with as well. The space is beautifully decorated and has a very inviting, fun atmosphere. Our guests absolutely loved the "club like" vibe and all raved about how great everything was. Whether you're looking for a venue for a birthday party, a shower, or any gathering that you want to have a wonderful time at, Studio 8 is the perfect spot!

It's one of those hidden gem experiences that you owe yourself to check out whether you're local or just passing through. Woolsey Hall in particular is impressive. It's a grand, ornate hall with fantastic acoustics. The chairs are wooden, so the sensitive may want to bring a cushion. But otherwise, it's a world class hall that's impressively accessible.

You can't go wrong and the music is spectacular! If you Google the Yale school of music concert list you will get all of the upcoming concerts. Some also happen during the week and there are also a few jazz concerts during the semester at Sprague hall next-door. I have seen award-winning musicians at both venues. If you go there make sure you look up at the ceiling and back over the second balcony. Also, make sure you sit on the first balcony in the center if it's not reserved, you will get a better view and hear better sound.

Craig Allen Smith portrayal of Daniel Hilliard was, in my opinion genius. The comedic timing of Smith as Daniel was a breath of fresh air honoring Robin, right down to his impressions. The entire cast were outstanding in their own right. It made me laugh, smile and cry. This was my third show at the Shubert and I can't wait to see what else is coming this year. If you haven't been here yet? What are you waiting for? Thanks again to the Shubert for another great time!

When I went to complete the purchase, I noticed that there was a $20 fee per ticket. What I also noticed was what was not mentioned; that there is no fee if tickets are purchased at the box office. I can understand a per order fee for an online purchase, and I wouldn't have given a second thought to a reasonable fee of, say, $5-$10, which would save me the trouble of driving the 15 minutes to the theater and parking. But $40 ($20 charge per ticket - 20%) is simply egregious. Telecharge only charges a fee of $16.50 per ticket for Broadway shows.
