You can get there at 1 and still have a good time the girls you pay to get in are super nice the knock off for star is only the security where you get checked is kinda rude but everyone else is nice and music is good great sound quality plenty of dancing room bathrooms could be cleaner just don't go alone go in a group 18+ it's 10$ for girls under 21 and 20$ for guys but it does cost extra if guys wear hats but they do tell you it's not a secret cost read more

The Beacham - Dance Clubs Near Me - Orlando, Florida

Where to begin...I see a lot of concerts. I'm at The Social, The Plaza Live or the Hard Rock regularly. So it's no surprise that I'm also at The Beacham every few weeks...much to my chagrin. The Beacham attracts a lot of bands that I love so I'm forced to endure the absolutely horrible acoustics of the place more often than I care to admit. This place has ruined bands I've loved seeing live before in other venues. The balcony is a tad better but for the up charge you don't even get a seat unless you pay extra for bottle service which is insanely expensive. The owners need to invest in improving sound quality and the overall experience. And the bands also know it...at They Might Be Giants they compared it to the legendary Orange Peel in Asheville stating "you know when you are playing a good venue"...sadly, The Beacham is not one of them. read more

I went into the bathroom tonight. The far stall. To the left when you walk in. I was treated with a toilet bowl full of urine. CAN'T THE STAFF CHECK THE TOILETS?!??? read more

Went to see Kurt vile on my first visit to the Beecham, I work near the place so was aware of the exterior and didn't have high hopes. Upon our arrival we were greeted by some young man, when I asked what time Kurt would he performing I was met with puzzlement. We entered about 7:30 because we knew there was an opening band, at 8:00 the opening band Mercedes began its performance and I knew we were in trouble. The sound was muffled and loud. The interior is dark and very old. There are two options for drinks, over priced mixed drinks or over priced canned beer. Not a place I can outfit visit again. read more

The Beacham - This place is a pit - Dance Clubs Near Me - Orlando, Florida

Hands-down one of the best venues in Central Florida. Not only is it spacious, but the lighting and sound system is amazing. I have had a great time every event I have attended here. It is worth it to see a concert or attend any type of event here. Drinks are a bit pricey, but it is worth it. read more

I was sexually assaulted last night by security and when i preached i felt uncomfortable and to leave me alone, 2 security staff and manager kicked me out.Things have changed over the years and it sucks to say ill never come back here.Horrible experience while visiting Orlando.DO BETTER!!!

Zahria was our bottle girl & she was amazing! She really made sure we enjoyed our time during my friend's birthday celebration. She kept coming back to check on us and make us shots until we were turnt up lol. On top of that the music & overall vibe at beacham was great. I definitely would recommend this club if you're looking to have fun and get litt in orlando and if you're lucky to have Zahria as your bottle girl you're guaranteed to have a good time! read more

I wish more bands that I like would come here. The location is great and after seeing the band, we hung out downtown. It's actually a pretty darn good venue. We saw Shinedown here and it was spacious, organized and had clean restrooms. I'm sold! The bar had fairly priced drinks and we had a blast. Plus, the event was not expensive. read more

The Beacham - Dance Clubs Near Me - Orlando, Florida

The Beacham is a great venue for concerts & events. I was there last night for the Thundercat concert & had a wonderful time. Their bartenders were on point & never made us feel like a nuisance for wanting to order a drink like some other places (I never understood that). This concert was a last minute thing for me & I'm so glad I went & got to see Thundercat do his thing live. Watching him & his band just lose themselves was everything. It was like a long jam session & I was totally there for it. There was plenty of security in the front & walking around. As a matter of fact, the person that I was with got stopped at the door because he had this little keychain pocket knife. He had to walk all the way back to the car & leave it there. I wasn't upset at all considering all of the craziness going on nowadays (good eye Mr. Security Guy). BTW, if you don't know who Thundercat is, look him up. Watch his videos. Listen to his music. Love him & hope that one day someone loves you the way he loves his Turbo Tron... read more

went for a concert on july 14th, doors opened at 6 and the openers ended at 9. due to technical difficulties, we had to wait standing till 10:50 almost 11. when the performers were on stage things would break after every song and i felt so bad for the crew. also i saw the reviews before i went that the speaker system was crap and they were right. my fault for not wearing headphones but my left ear STILL rings from the speakers and when the microphone randomly blasted feedback read more

i came to beacham for my birthday celebration and the blonde bottle girl was so nice. held genuine conversations and made sure to get us whatever we needed right then and there. i recommend asking for her when you go to the beacham. read more

The Beecham is a cool spot that once was only a nightclub and got converted to a music venue/nightclub. We saw a couple rock bands on my last night in Orlando. They have $5 beers and your standard fair of rail drinks available. I really enjoyed this venue and it's OC's equivalent to first Ave. They get three stars because we saw a cockroach while there which brings down the cleanliness factor. And where there's one cockroach, there are plenty more. read more

This review will focus on the Best of Orlando event held at the Beacham recently. My wife and I were able to score tickets to go to the Best of Orlando event being held at the Beacham last week. While we weren't sure what to expect, we were fairly excited to check out this event and venue, which involved the Beacham and several other connected venues. We entered the event through pretty heavy security (is a metal detector device with me taking everything out of my pocket really necessary for an Orlando Weekly event?). We went inside, received a little map from the Orlando Weekly people, and started walking around. While I was expecting this event to offer lots of food from all the Best of Orlando restaurants, the main thing that was offered was unlimited alcohol. While an open bar would be cool on a weekend, it was a little strange for a 7pm event on a Wednesday that we thought would at least be a little higher class than just being a big bar night. Also, since none of the bar areas had any tip jars out, tipping for drinks was both weird and mostly non-existent, which made for mostly disengaged bartenders. We started walking through the connected venues (which were massive) and stopped by some of the various stands. In an outside courtyard area, there was Pita Pit with a fun beer pong booth and what were essentally pita bites. There was also a picture booth near the stairs to the bar top roof which costed $5 and literally took 5 minutes for the pictures to print. If you go to an event at this venue in the future, stick with the event's official picture spots rather than try the venue's booth. After walking around for a while, we finally made it over into the Beacham bar and then the huge auditorium. While not classy by any stretch of the imagination, this would seem like a decent place to check out a concert. However, for a Best of Orlando event, it essentially turned into a combination of ineffective advertising and a loud drunk dance party. They had several screens showing the Best of Orlando winners for various categories, which was fun, but flashed by so fast that you could hardly read some of them (not quite my idea of an honor). Our biggest gripe though was the lack of food throughout the place, which was essentially limited to some tasty ice cream, the afore-mentioned Pita Pit bite, and a weird chicken shooter from some random restaurant. Fortunately, while Publix and their subs were supposed to be for the VIP area above the Beacham's open area, they did bring down subs for everyone after about an hour or so. Yay for Publix saving the day! Overall, the Beacham and Orlando Weekly's Best of Orlando event, while a disappointment compared to what we thought it was going to be, was essentially just a big open bar party. If you are looking for unlimited booze and a huge dance party with hipsters and college kids, then this would be the place for you. However, if you were looking to actually check out more than a few of the Best of Orlando winners or be able to have a conversation in any part of the venue, then you should look elsewhere. read more

The Beacham is a great venue for concerts and events. This was my first time here to see Børns play. Thankfully my cousin is the drummer so she hooked us up with the VIP tickets. Its located in downtown Orlando walking distance to numerous bars and restaurants. My mom, step dad and I had an amazing view from the balcony. There was a full service bar and a server to take our orders. Drinks came quickly and were reasonably priced for a concert venue. We got in fairly quick since our tickets were at will call. I did recognize a fair amount if security at least two guards at each door and a police officer parked outside. This made me feel very safe in an open concert setting due to all of the shootings that have happened recently in similar venues. The sound quality was on point and the venue defiantly utilized the audio / visual equipment they had. Since the concert was sold out I'd recommend getting balcony tickets for a big headliner. If not then you maybe shoulder to shoulder in a mosh pit style. This venue offers a quality concert experience for a variety of fans. read more

I loved the fact that they are true to what they advertise. We were in town for the weekend and did not know where to go. A customer service rep in Victoria Secret at the Mall at Millenia recommended this club for good vibes, and they just so happened to be doing a free entry before 11 PM for all 21 and up. Me and my boyfriend were able to get in free. And they had $3 drinks before 11 PM, so I bought 3 Henny and Cokes and they were nice and strong. I was lit to say the least before midnight. I would love to come back with my girlfriends the next time I visit Orlando. I also like that the club allows you to leave and reenter by giving you a wrist band. This gave me a chance to bar hop and grab some food and return. The club was a little dead before 11PM, but by 12:30 AM it filled with people dancing. They played a mix of old and new rap and r and b on Saturday night. I definitely enjoyed my last night in Orlando here. We parked within walking distance in a secured garage right across from Beth's Burgers, and the cost was $10. I would recommend for anyone in the area visiting or living. read more

The Beacham - It's still early..m - Dance Clubs Near Me - Orlando, Florida

I'm glad good ol' Tabu has a new name and is booking more big shows. It's better than driving out to Universal's parking garage and walking 20 minutes to the Hard Rock. But if The Beacham wants me to change my review to five stars, I have a list of demands: 1. Build a slight incline for better viewing from the back. 2. Get rid of the disco ball OR stop shooting lasers at it. My corneas will thank you for this one. 3. Move the bar! Why do you still have a huge square bar right in the middle of the standing room? If you move the bar, maybe you won't need to build that incline because there won't be a need to stand so far back and/or look over your wall of poison! If you meet my demands, THEN you'll earn your new name and five stars. For now, you're just Tabu with a weaker clientele. read more

My main reason for this review is that they claim to enforce a very strict dress code that, of all goddamn things, forbids shorts in Florida. Now, I don't go to clubs, but I did want to see a show, and it just so happened that I was doing a bike ride beforehand. So that proclaimation (not enforced, by the way), required a bunch of extra planning and pretty much required driving there. Also, "no dirty sneakers." What the Christ is that supposed to mean? As for the show, it was most certainly a good show. BTW I wouldn't call this venue "small" by any means. Of course Beacham's only credit in putting on a good show is that they booked a good band on its way up. read more

The Beacham is where concerts go when HOB is full. Pray this doesn't happen to you. If you are unfortunate enough to end up here show up early. If you aren't there early you be will stuck in a long line that moves very slowly because somehow they still haven't figured out how to get anyone in efficiently. The sound setup is skewed towards nightclub mode so most of the time vocals are ruined by the ultra heavy bass. The one redeeming quality: they blast their AC before an event so it stays relatively cool. read more

The Beacham formally known as Tabu has a couple of renovations inside but overall still has the same venue structure. Just like every club in downtown every night here has a different special and music. They still have the same movie looking booth outside with the two building wrapping lines. They have Honey pot on Friday nights that are hosted by 102 jamz so they play mainly hip hop, reggae, and old school. I know it's free for ladies that whole night but it gets very packed! Then Sunday they still kept the latin night that you pay once at the door and drink free all night. I love the music on this night because they mix up salsa, reggaeton, bachata but the drinks are straight up kool aid style on this night, straight.. watered down. That is the only part that makes me confused as to why they do not tell you that it's drink free juice all night instead. Lately there has been alot of shows at The Beacham than ever than before and Orlando needed this! Which I love love love since at this venue the new lighting system is amazing and the sound system plays at a really high quality. The stage is close to the fans so it makes shows feel more personal instead of being miles away. I went to the Atmosphere show and was completely blown away with the concert. Very looking forward to many future concerts at this venue. I can walk out of The Beacham smelling like a walking human cigarette from all the smoke but we still have a love/ hate relationship because of this main reason. They have the capability to throw a memorable heart warming concert. read more

Good staff. Lol vary plur. vary safe setting, kinda dark inside, but vary loving all the same.

First, I thought it was a bit strange there are several reviews for this place by people who have never reviewed anything on yelp before, except in 2 cases the club that preceded it. But I refrained from sharing my opinion until I finally visited last night to see for myself-went and saw House of Pain. Prices were a bit high, $25 for the show at the door, $5 for any beer (limited selection). The crowd was good, and the venue is nice, but it could use a good cleaning or facelift. The reason I gave it 2 stars is because of the sound-several people mentioned this, and apparently they have got their own sound system now....but now it's too loud and not clear. Literally, my ears are still ringing from last night-and I've been to some very loud concerts and raves. I'm not sure how much of this was the sound and how much was the band, but it was quite difficult to hear what they were singing. If they take care of some of these issues this could be a great venue. read more

Many reviews here are from people that visited the Beacham during its transformation. Since the first 2 shows the Beacham has finally installed an incredible sound and lighting rig that helps them host shows that only some of the bigger venues can handle. They are the only club downtown to boast a REAL line array. Thats a really good speaker system. The new stage is large enough to host a good sized band and I'm sure we will see plenty of great acts roll thru here as we get into the season. Avicii, Rusko, Plain White Ts, and many other great groups have already killed it here! The venue also operates as a nightclub Friday, Saturday, and Sunday night - mostly playing Hip Hop, Latin, and Urban music. read more

CKY was the first band I got to see in this building back when it was still called Tabu. That was February 19th, 2003. Back then it was strictly a dance club. There was giant screens in the back of the stage hovering above everything that showed the concert. Wish they would have kept that when it changed to the Beacham. That show had to end early so they could have their dance party. So everyone got kicked out shortly after the band stopped playing. Die Antword was the first concert I got to see here since the name change to the Beacham. That was on October 24, 2012. Sold out show with two lines to get in. Still took way too long since everyone had to be pat down and all purses/bags had to be checked. Doors opened at 8:00 PM. By the time I got in at 8:30, the support was already playing. It was a DJ named Winston Wolfe. I can only guess he started at 8:00 since all he was doing was playing songs from iTunes. Winston Wolfe was onstage until 10:30 PM. Two and a half hours of random dubstep just so the club could sell more drinks. It pisses me off to no end when places do that. The audience was already inside before 9:00 so having Die Antword come on at 9:30 would have made a lot more sense. It wasn't until about 11:00 when they came out and played for a good hour. Making the show more than four hours for one performing group to play an hour. I was standing to the middle to the far left of the club and the sound was atrocious. The group is two rappers and a DJ. The mix was literally two microphones. It was so hard to hear them over the beats, I had to take my earplugs out just to be able to obtain a little of the vocals. Mindless Self Indulgence was the second time I visited the Beacham. That was on April 7, 2013. I was actually willing to pay the additional $15 on top of the ticket price to get balcony admission. Ticketmaster didn't have any available, so I tried Park Ave CD's and they didn't have any either. Beacham's website had and when I e-mailed them about it I got no response. I asked a few people at the club and they all told me I had to get them in advance. Peter Pepper was the opener. I've been listening to him since his first band Retard-O-Bot in 2000. So it's always a pleasure watching him perform with whatever outfit he's in. I was up front, one person behind the barricade to the far left. The sound was even worse now. The bass was just distorting everything. I knew all of the songs they played, so I basically forced myself to hear what they were playing from memory. Mindless Self Indulgence was a little better since they had their own sound guy, but not by much. I was standing in the same spot because I wanted to be able to see. If you're more than ten people deep behind the barricade, you're probably not going to be able to see since the floor is level all the way to the back of the venue. There really needs to be an elevated portion of the venue so people aren't all crammed onto one giant floor. No re-entry is allowed, just like most of the bigger clubs like this one. It makes sense on a business stand point. Gets people buy what you're selling and they have an ATM machine. But if you don't drink alcohol or soda, you're stuck with a five dollar water. Plus they don't sell food, so if you're hungry, you get to wait a good six hours before the show ends to go eat at the Subway across the street... if it's still open. Some of the few positives are that the stage is really big. Plenty of of space for the more active bands to bounce around on and for the larger pieced bands to spread out. Lighting is set up very well. If you're lucky enough to get on the balcony, it'll never be too dark that you won't be able to see. It is unfortunate that those two are the only good qualities I can point out. read more

I went for the Yungblud concert. The Beacham has been around longer that most people that go there have been alive. It's legendary. There is only 1 thing that is not awesome and that is line-up for a concert. That's because The Beacham does not have a line-up policy. It's been that way for along time, I just forgot. I had balcony seats and was great. Have to remember that it's standing and there is a VIP area. If you've never been, it would probably tick you off. The bouncers are intimidating which is exactly what they want. BUT... if you are a friendly person, they are too. Upstairs was this one bouncer that would scare the crap out of the meanest person. I was talking to him about the old times and he was the nicest ever. Gave him a big hug when I left. During the concert, as usual, some idiot started a fight. A downstairs bouncer went to the guy, wrapped him up in his arms and hauled him out. The bouncer did it in a way that showed they are serious about injuries but also protective of everyone else. He didn't get violent and wasn't anything you'd see in a movie. Just wrapped up the guy and guided him through the crowd. The Beacham is the only Orlando club I've been to that I can say I feel safe being there. I'm going to post a balcony view. It really is worth the money. Just remember, you'll stand. read more

The Beacham - Dance Clubs Near Me - Orlando, Florida

I like smaller venues like this when you're not packed in like sardines. Luckily, my first show here was on a Thursday night and was a Canadian indie band that thus far hasn't quite become a household name in Florida. So while there was a solid turnout, it wasn't uncomfortably packed. Here's an important note that I learned the hard way: No cameras with interchangeable lenses. I had brought my DSLR into shows at the Social before, and checking the Beacham website, photography "may or may not" be allowed, so I decided to chance it. Apparently, photography with your phone or a little point & shoot may or may not be allowed, but bigger cameras are never allowed. I got stopped at the door. "No professional cameras!" The guy was nice about it at least. Okay, mine happens to be a "professional" camera, I can't argue that. "But I'm not a professional!" That didn't work. So I told my fiancée to go in without me and I'd be back. Having parked my ragtop Jeep in a small, dark alley, I imagined coming back to the top slashed open and the camera gone, so I had to move the Jeep somewhere more public with better light, hide the camera, and go back. The guy apologized again when I came back up, I told him no problem but I don't like the ban on "professional cameras" because... well, define "professional camera". The girl that took my ticket said that it's anything with an interchangeable lens. Okay, but you can get a basic DSLR for $600 and it's far from a professional camera. Perhaps the wording should be "No SLR-type cameras" and it should also be on the website. Just saying. But I wasn't angry, because they weren't being mean about it. Anyway, the venue itself is good. Modern stage lighting, an awesome sound system, the works. It felt and looked a little dirty in there, but I don't think it was. I imagine this place takes an awful lot of abuse from drunk fans. And even so, it still smells less obnoxious than the places on Church Street. A basic rum and coke here will cost you $5.75 and is served in a tiny cup. Way too expensive for what you get. All in all, it's a good music venue. Other reviews have said that it's also a club on the days where there's no show. No thanks, not my style. But I would come back for the ticketed events. read more

Great venue for shows. Started coming here when I was about 16. Although I prefer smaller venues it's always fun to come here when a bigger artist comes to town. read more

Went to see Two Door Cinema Club here and had a blast! Bigger than I thought it would be (I'm used to the social) and the acoustics really worked for the band I was seeing. I'd go again. read more

I've read lots of complaints about the acoustics. I don't get it. Saw City and Colour here and it was phenomenal. Staff was good enough, not friendly, but this isn't the venue for that. They are working their butts off. Only complaint would be the people smoking in the bathroom upstairs, which filled the upstairs area with smoke all night. read more

Nice venue to check out up & coming bands. Ticket prices are on the lower side since they avoid using Ticketmaster. The 2 bars are positioned too close to the general admission / floor area which reduces the spots that offer a clear view of the stage. It also creates a bottleneck at the lobby entrance/exit area. Plenty of free street parking a couple blocks away (toward the Bank of America building). The Beacham & The Social (located next door) are the same franchise. They're connected through a passageway located to the right of the Beacham stage should there be an event that utilizes both stages. read more

This is the worst, most unprofessional venue I've ever been to. The security staff thinks its okay to assault women. I went here for The Menzingers show last night, unknowingly got lifted up to crowd surf completely unaware that it was not allowed. Then once I got to the front, instead of informing me and escorting me out, two men proceeded to grab me with excessive force and dragged me out by my neck as I was screaming for help. I'm 5'2" and weigh 120lbs, it was one of the most traumatic experiences I've had in my life. I had my friend's phone and keys and they wouldn't even let me back in or try to contact him after I tried explaining that I didn't want to get back in for the show, I just needed him to be notified. The touring manager of the band saw what happened to me and had to take it upon himself to intervene and get the venue to let me find him so I could leave and try to make up for the venue's inhumane treatment. Please, any touring artists avoid booking here if you care about your fans. I do not recommend anyone going here unless they want to pay to be completely dehumanized. read more

Good place to see a band that you like. Otherwise it gets a bit clubby. Unless that's what you like then club on my friends! read more

The Beacham, The Beacham... this place is pretty good. I only come here for live shows and they have definitely been stepping up their game on who they are booking! It's a huge venue (there's an upstairs, typically VIP but sometimes not, with lots of seating,etc), so there is typically plenty of space when you come here. Drinks are reasonably priced, not dirt cheap and not really expensive. One thing I really like here is they ALWAYS have the A/C blasting! So nice to have a venue that is not cheap on that front - especially in Florida but beware if you're heading to a show where the artist may not be that well known or there isn't a big crowd... it can get kind of chilly. =) The sound is honestly hit or miss for shows but it's not enough to keep me away from all the good bookings they've placed. read more

PERREO Party!! I went to Beacham on a Sunday night (Latin night) and it was AIIGHT. They promote FREE drinks and $2.50 "Super" Premium drinks but thats BS. The only thing free was the BEER and I paid $11.00 for Grey Goose. When you enter there's a SMALL space with a DJ in the middle and a bar on each side. The music was GOOD (Bachata, Salsa, Merengue...) BUT there was really no place to dance. There's a lot of traffic in that area because of the Entrance/Exit, the bathrooms, and the staircase so the space feels more like a walkway than a ROOM. If (and ONLY if) they expand this area, I would DEFINITELY party here again. The MAIN room was PACKED!! The DJ's were on the stage doing their thing and there wasnt ONE motionless body in there!! It was LIVE!! They played NOTHING but "PERREO" music. The crowd was lovin' it...Me, NOT so much. I ended up lounging on the 3rd level and just enjoyed the scenary (and my drinks) from there. Not a BAD spot. read more

We went to see Jenny Lewis 2 weeks ago. Paid extra for seating in the balcony. What a disappointment. We got there extra early to get good seats. When we got up to the balcony, 3/4 of the front section was cordoned off for VIPs, and the rest of the seating was terrible...booths with bad views and glass partitions in front of you. The entire night only 6 people were using the VIP section. On top of that, numerous people were smoking up there which security did nothing about. They need to gut the balcony and put in rows of seating similar to the Hardrock. Would not go back. read more

I've seen several shows at the Beachum at this point, so I might as well write a review. My most recent experience here was seeing The Claypool Lennon Delirium on Saturday. What I like about the Beachum is that they attract the acts that are a little too big for The Social but not quite big enough for House of Blues/Hard Rock. So, tickets to a show here are usually set at a very reasonable price (not sure how much control the venue has over this, but I'm giving them this point anyway). The inside is pretty spacious. There's a bar in the back and an upper balcony for the high rollers. It's basically like the inside of the Hard Rock Live but smaller. The big plus for me is that they keep the venue very well cooled. Each show I've been here, no matter how crowded the place gets, the A/C is always perfect and I never break out into uncomfortable, smelly concert sweat. The downsides,and this first one isn't necessarily The Beachum's fault, but a gripe in general. So, they don't allow smoking inside which, for an ex-smoker like me, is great! But, apparently they still allow vaping? Ok, so it may not be tobacco smoke, but I don't want to breath that crap in. No smoking should also apply to vaping. Other downside, weekend shows usually end early so the place can turn into a club for the rest of the night. So, if you're planning to see a concert on a Saturday, it'll be over at 10pm. Again, this is just personal preference for me because when I go to a show on a weekend, I kind of want to stay out late. read more

Let's just say I'm not 22 so take that into consideration when.reading this review. My friends and I went to see St. Paul and the Broken Bones on a Thursday night. The romm is quite large, almost cavernous. A bar in the center of the room would be great for seating but it's a standing bar. Unlike many similar venues which have seating at least at the bar. The sound was horrible, I'm no engineer but I'm assuming it's the space and not the band which is really too bad. If your interested in hosting bands, you should invest in decent accustics. 8 bucks for a glass of crappy merlot. Meh. The band was awesome, the venue not so much. read more

This place has so much potential. I love the actual venue and the set up of the floor. However the sound is terrible!

I hope they fix this problem because when I pay to see someone, I at least want to hear them clearly. read more

Place is pretty cool. I'm glad it's not Tabu anymore = no more fights. Has infused with the Social crowd, so it is a little more laid back. I 'm looking forward to the upcoming artist lineup!

I have only been to the Beacham for concerts and I don't drink, so this review is only for the Beacham as a concert venue. I always arrive early to get a good spot, and I'm usually the first in line. First, the staff is horribly unfriendly. They act like it's an inconvenience that you're there. Second, they are terribly disorganized. They never have a place for the line outside the door clearly marked. At our most recent visit we had to knock on the door just to find out where to line up. Then, about 20 minutes before door opening, new people started another line on the other side of the door. Staff did nothing about it and ended up just letting both lines in at once which was completely unfair to everyone who got there early and waited in line for a good spot. Third, We got what should have been the perfect spot, dead center on the barrier, right up front. The first problem is that they have a fan under the stage that blows freezing air right in your face. Several people complained about that right away, and the security guy merely shrugged. Then the fog machine came on. It blows fog directly in the faces of anyone in the front row every 2 and a half minutes, all night long! It smells awful, you can barely see, and it was making several of us cough. The security guy actually laughed at how uncomfortable we all were (and this was not just my party). Fourth, The sound is horrible. It's not too bad if you're 25 feet back from the stage, but anywhere in front is further forward than the speakers, so there is absolutely no mid range and vocals are so muddled you can barely understand a word. For me, because I'm not tall, there is no good place to be in this venue. Up front, which should be the best, you can't hear. In the middle of the floor, 25 feet back, sound is much better, but you can't see anything. At this particular show, there was a woman who was so drunk she could barely stand up and she kept falling on people. Security did nothing. I hate this venue and really wish they would either improve the sound quality for people up front, or stop booking bands. The Social is wonderful (even with the unfriendly staff), and there are several other venues in Orlando that I love, but the Beacham is not set up properly for live music. read more
