The cotillion!!! Once in a lifetime experience!!! It wa pretty spectacular. One thing to mention about my biast option was I was totality geeked during the concert. Saw the devil I swear! P Diddy was playing at the concert. Changed my life fr. Food was alright but damn!!! It was not cheap. Service was disabled. They had me naked during my pat down. Belt came off and I got a little excited?? Also there was a naked women running around the building. Ambiance was I forgot. I even caught a guitar pic with my arm!!! On accident. Bruh. Concert was good. Got super smashed by the naked lady. (She beat me up that's what I mean...). Overall 4.3 stars. read more

We have always enjoyed seeing concerts at the Cotillion. We don't like big arenas The Cotillion is a great alternative. They have great bands. I read all the reviews, and was very sad to hear about the people that were assaulted. That makes me not want to go there. We did one time see a really drunk man harassing a woman, we told security and they handled it right away. We have seen some huge name bands there. We avoid going on the floor and reserve a table. As far as the review about it being dirty, for me, it is so dark, we don't see the dirt, We have always thought the bathrooms are clean. read more

SERIOUSLY - A PAT DOWN at the door? It is almost impossible to buy a drink in this place because of the "system" they use at the "bars" read more

I hear a lot of people saying they dislike concerts at the Cotillion but i love it! Sure its not big but its fun and you get to be close to the bands. read more

The Cotillion has been a great spot to catch a show in Wichita since the early 60's. They bring a huge variety of acts including rock, rap, country, and blues. Some of the most enjoyable concerts I have ever seen have been at The Cotillion. A few of my favorites were Jimmy Eat World and Old Crow Medicine Show. It's basically just a huge circle with seating around the edges which makes it easy to get around. It's obviously pretty old, but still manages to do cool stuff. read more

I wouldn't even give a one star, but I had to select something to continue with a narrative. Disgusting! Infested with roaches, floors and interior decor; curtains, windows, corner spaces were all dusty and grimy. Tickets are way too expensive for a germ infested venue like this one. Gross! Security was rude and had no desire to treat people with decency. Instead of asking and making an overhead announcement to clear an area they seemed to target and verbally attack folks. No professionalism! Difficult to distinguish staff from patrons by the way they present themselves. read more

As I Lay Dying headlining, Winds of Plague and After the Burial! 4th show I've seen there. I can say that it was a good venue for this size of show. Acoustics seem to be decent and the building has more depth than it appears from the outside. They don't have a water fountain (that's kind of expected.) read more

The Cotillion has a long history of bringing shows to Wichita that the larger venues won't talk a chance on. I've seen concerts, stand up comedy, pro wrestling, animal shows, and even went there for prom! Their food and drink prices are fair for shows. I feel safe when I go there for concerts unlike a lot of other places. And if you've had a few too many, they're ok with you leaving your car overnight. The owners really know how to run a business! read more

Having lived in Wichita for many years I have had the chance to visit a lot of the local venues and consider The Cotillion a true local treasure. I have never been let down by any means! It is large enough to hold the biggest band, yet small enough to get that true live experience. read more

First time ever being here. When we pulled up I was like "This is how horror movies start" it's all the way back behind a business. Then there's a heavily wooded area behind this place. The posts with the different colored balls on top of them are outdated-but funny since they are still up. The wait wasn't bad to get in. It's basically a huge circle. After we bought some shirts and walked to the stage area I was really impressed. It's huge, stage doesn't take up a big part of the space and plenty of sitting. So we got right up in front to see Mushroomhead! The bathrooms were nice and a HUGE mirror (which I love). Security was on point, I'm also a security officer so I always look for how others run their posts and the 2 by the stage did a great job. After the show it was easy getting out and as we were leaving Mushroomhead was leaving and we were able to get a picture with them! This would have got 5 stars from me but the bartenders were assholes. Rude and if you didn't know them on a personal level you could barley get them to help you. They were busy talking to regulars. Cool place. read more

This is by far one of my favorite places to see a concert. It's perfect for metal concerts or raves because it is essentially just a round room with open space. With certain genres, the built in seating of many venues just gets in the way. Also, the tickets are usually very, very affordable! However, you still run into the highly overpriced drinks (this applies to those that are non - alcoholic as well) and another big bummer is that the bars only accept cash. They do have an ATM inside but trying to plan exactly how much cash you'll need in advance is a serious inconvenience. If they accept cards at the ticket counter (which they do) they should just run a few more wires and expand that amenity to the bars and merchandise booth. Other than that, everything runs smoothly. They have sufficient staffing and do a good job streamlining the process of getting you in the door to enjoy the show. Cameras are allowed, weapons are not. Fairly basic rules! A great place to enjoy a show for sure. read more
