    My family and I went to the Beacham for a mixed martial arts event. There is a parking garage near by but I didn't like parking there. The parking is more for compact parking. We paid $10 for the parking. The beacham experience was ok. There is limited seating and to see the mixed martial arts event it was hard to watch. The people I front of us kept getting on their seats and were blocking the fighting ring. Overall I felt the experience was ok. I have been to nicer ben

    I came to the Beacham on October 30th 2023 to see a thrash metal show, which included GWAR, X-Cops, Negative Approach, and Cancer Christ. My Brother-in-law scored tickets for about $35, not a bad deal at all. Beacham staff performed security checks at the doors and also patted me down. Drinks were kind of expensive compared to what I am reading from other reviewers. They charged me almost $12 for whiskey and ginger ale, way more expensive than I expected, yet it was a strong drink. The show started on time and magnificently enough all four bands gave it their all. I am assuming moshing is permitted since the entire place went wild especially when GWAR started killing characters on stage and spraying the audience with the fake blood. If you have never seen them, I recommend going even if you don't like thrash metal, it's an experience you just have to be there for. I wouldn't say the Beacham is my favorite venue for shows, but it wasn't terrible either. The last time I was here was in the early 2000's when I lived in Orlando and it was called Taboo. Not much has changed, bathrooms still up front, big bar as you walk up to the dance floor, and a big enough stage for GWAR and X-Cops to put on their insane production. I definitely look forward to seeing another show here, hopefully the drinks won't be so expensive the next time around. One more thing, it is very loud in here, I always wear earplugs to shows; if you have them, bring them, you will thank me later. The PA's were pointing right at our heads, and even with my good loop ear plugs in my ears still rang the next day.

    Went with my friends, we drove up to orlando for the nettspend invert tour that xaviersobased was opening, and the venue was great; super loud speakers, lots of merch, nice bartenders, helpful employees, competent security

    Went to Broadway Rave event that at the Beacham. Enjoyed. Wish there were more sitting areas there. Music load. Bathrooms clean.

    Though the performance was great the actual venue was not a success. Bars all over the place with minimal staff to actually take the orders. Shout out to our bartender though, she was doing her absolute best within the provided work environment. Understaffed and understocked. Waited 20 min at one bar with acknowledgement or eye contact so we hopped to another bar. Waited another 30 min, finally got our beverages. When we went back for another round, we had to wait another 20-30 min because they didn't have the beer I wanted. To top it off, security staffing was rude and pushy. Disappointed :(

    We had a pretty great time seeing my bfs favorite dj, Girl Talk. The club is pretty spacious, with 5 bars (4 on the dance floor, and one at the entrance). As well as VIP areas along the far right wall when entering, and VIP balconies circling 3/4 of the top of the club. The speakers are INSANELY loud, & I felt every single one of my 36 years standing near one lol. There was no cover to get in, and we purchased tickets online. The drinks are inexpensive, but strong as hell (my vodka and red bull was 99% alcohol, with a splash of Red Bull), and I only needed one drink. The actual stage is a little elevated and smaller, but the opening act, and Girl Talk with his entire entourage fit up there perfectly. I love that at various point they would drop confetti or balloons, but all I kept thinking was "damn this is gonna be a b to clean up" lol. All in all, we had a fun time, and I can't wait to go back for other events or to just hang out.

    I had an opportunity to visit this place the weekend before Halloween and I can definitely say I enjoyed myself! It was definitely packed but it wasn't overwhelming it's enough space to move around for sure like the building is huge ! 8 out of 10 so I recommend! It's also conveniently located right on the main strip in Orlando so if this is not your cup of tea there's plenty of spots right next to them that might be! Go check them out and follow there ig for updates on the upcoming events!

    For the record, I've been here a couple times and it's always underwhelming. I wanted to wait until I had a good or bad experience to write a review, and tonight was the back breaker. Here we go: I live downtown and like to try different places each holiday. On NYE I unfortunately chose to go here. After a 30 minute wait, they let my girlfriend in for $45, which was already $5 more than they stated for the "express" line, then wouldn't give a refund after I wasn't allowed in. She spent around 3 minutes inside. That's about $15 PER MINUTE for anyone who doesn't want to do the math. No drinks or anything, this was just to get inside. I asked for a refund for her and they said no. I asked for a card for the owner to discuss the situation and they threatened to call the cops on me (lol). If you plan to go downtown go to any other bar. This place will literally steal your money and threaten you with cops the moment you're unhappy with the service.

    I haven't been here in soo long, last time was when it was called Tabu lol. I had fun dancing to new and old latin hits, though the college/high school crowd can be kinda annoying if you rather be at a bar (I would). It has not changed since I've been and I don't think that is good, but seeing how many people went that night means that they could care less about how the establishment looks - I used a railing walking upstairs and felt something sticky on my hand, I looked at my hand and saw some black residue. Even though I had fun, it might be a long while before I come back here. This place and Parliament house need to start a go fund me for renovation assistance.

    Is it 18+?

    Yes it is 18+

    Do they serve food at the venue?

    No, they just have the drink bars. I have heard that sometimes food trucks are accessible from the venue, but we didn't see it.

    Does it have seating for concerts? Does the balcony have seating?

    The general admission floor doesn't have any seating except for some very limited seating at the bars, mostly in the back. When I went I noticed some chairs upstairs on the balcony but I think it depends on the show whether or not seating is… Read more

I wouldn't recommend section C - they had those tall metal chairs that look uncomfortable in that section. I honestly wish I'd got section A, but those shows sell out so quickly that it seems harder to snag those. The sound was amazing & the band was really talented. The look/vibe is really great too! The doors don't open till right before showtime, but there's covered tables & chairs to sit & wait. Parking was a bit tight. The doormen were very fast & efficient. Everyone was friendly too! Overall I really like The Abbey & am going back again in a few weeks, Oh - pro tip - there's an absolutely OUTSTANDING sushi restaurant around the corner & they were very accommodating when we said we were in a hurry to get to the show on time. Check them out!

The ground floor has plenty of room to move around and enjoy the show without feeling cramped, which I really appreciated. They also have upstairs seating options if you're looking for a more elevated (and probably pricier) experience--but it's nice to have that flexibility depending on your vibe. Whether you want to stay for hours or just pop in and enjoy the performance, it caters to both. Staff were friendly and efficient all around. The bar setup was a huge plus--there were multiple bartenders working, so drinks came out quickly. Perfect for grabbing something before the show or doing a quick pregame without missing the fun. I came specifically to see Calum Scott, and WOW--he did not disappoint. His voice is even more incredible live, and you can tell he genuinely connects with the audience. Super kind energy, amazing stage presence, and just an all-around beautiful performance. The production was also top tier. The lighting and laser effects were phenomenal and really elevated the entire experience--it felt immersive without being overwhelming. One moment that really stood out was how the staff handled an emergency situation in the audience. Security and the team responded quickly and professionally, making sure the individual got the help they needed. That level of care and organization says a lot about the venue. Overall, such a solid first impression. Great layout, fast service, amazing performances, and a team that clearly knows what they're doing. I'll definitely be back--especially if they bring in more DJs or artists in the future!

I got the blackened salmon which came with green beans and roasted tomatoes. The salmon itself was nice, the blackened seasoning was good, had a good kick to it as well. The salmon itself was a little overcooked for my taste but it was a nice piece of fish overall. The green beans on the other hand were both overcooked and undercooked at the same time. Some of the beans were a pale olive and were super over done, some were bright green and basically raw. I don't know what's going on in the kitchen but this was definitely not a job well done. Also they gave me like three cherry tomatoes they probably could have done a little bit better with the quantity in that department. For the price they're charging the food should be a lot more consistent. I give it two and a half stars rounded up to three because I did like the guy that was playing the guitar and singing and the atmosphere was fairly decent. As far as food goes, big overpriced dud, steer clear.
