    Waiting for show GA upper deck

    Terrific place to see music... Sound good throughout. Space to spread out in the balconies and still see music. Not a traditional amphitheater law our, that works well for general admission. Crowd must not have been as big as in past because half the ladies bathroom were out of order, but no real line. Not well marked from the approach. I figured it out but not until I asked twice. Line was for going onto the floor. Concessions were easy & available. Security was easy.

    We went to see Robert Earl Keen! I had a blast! We bought a floor spot so standing the entire time instead of sitting above which I preferred. The got a couple beers. It only has cans of beer instead of draft, which I prefer. Overall so much fun and great memories!

    Great venue! Unique seating and so many different places to stand. The restaurant on the roof had a few vegetarian options. They have several bars, so you never wait long for a drink. Clean bathrooms. Great acoustics!

    I was here for a concert on Friday night (Ocean Alley) and I really liked the venue. Everything seemed pretty clean and orderly. When I used the bathroom before the show it was in good shape. There are tons of bars here. Looked like multiple on each level, plus they have a rooftop restaurant/bar. My friend and I got spots in the top area where you can sit if you'd like. The concert was pretty full but not sold out I believe- so there was still some space around us. I stood for most of the main performance but sat for small bits of it and still had a great view. Sound quality was great. First performance was a little on the loud side (like... hurt my ears side) but second one (Ocean Alley) was perfect. Lights were awesome but they have a distinct obsession with blinding the audience. Really didn't appreciate that at all honestly. Makes me want to bring sunglasses next time lol Cons: getting in here and leaving were both extremely difficult. The entrance is not facing the street at all. You're pretty much forced to walk around the building and the signage isn't that great. It was difficult to get picked up by our uber. Second con: we hung out for a few mins afterward, waiting for the Uber surge pricing to go down and the staff was super rude. If they were friendly and just had said please make your way to the exit to us, I would've been perfectly okay with that. But instead they were super abrupt and right after the first guy told us and we were walking in the exit direction, another stopped somewhat in front of us and told a group of people "the exits that way." in a super rude tone. So we were basically sandwiched with no where to go and men being rude. That actually pissed me off a great deal looking back on it. Because of those two things, I'm deducting 2 stars. It's important that people can get in and out of here when the show is over and it's also important you treat concert goers with respect. Without those two flaws it would be awesome.

    I attended the Aly and AJ concert at this venue. I've actually seen quite a few concerts I wanted to attend at this venue and was happy I was able to make this one happen. The venue is very intimate while also being spacious at the same time. There are two levels one is standing room the other has standing areas and back behind that there are seats. I really like the format of the venue because there is no assigned seating everything is first come first served and up to the attendees comfortability. There wasn't food inside the venue that I was aware of but because of where it was located there a quite a few food options around the venue. There were multiple bars inside!

    This venue is fantastic! Clean, modern, well designed - there's isn't a bad view in the house- with plenty of bars to keep you buzzed. HOWEVER, be warned! It's absolutely freezing inside! We went in winter and it was warmer outside. It never warmed up and to be in 50 degrees for over 3 hours is miserable. Bring a parka, you can always drape it on the rail.

    Came here to see Ministry, Nitzer Ebb, and Die Krupps. This is the nicest, cleanest, most well-thought out venue I have ever been to (I've been to well over 50 concerts), with a very hip vibe, and all staff was awesome. Wish I lived closer to go to more events here. Even the merch area was properly organized, which was a really nice thing. J.Ja

    Venue is VERY CLEAN. And the security top notch. I felt no worries. Three stars because I ordered the Paloma cocktail and it was $28 before the tip... take that how you may. The bartenders are nice and friendly though.

    I was here for an event and the space was absolutely beautiful. There is ample space everywhere and they have so many dressing rooms/green rooms for people to get ready. The restrooms were clean and there were quite a few of them. There is also an elevator in the corner if needed. They have a huge stage and the sound and lighting were absolutely impeccable.

    Hands down my favorite venue in Atlanta I've seen Khruangbin , Big Wild & Alt- J to name a few and it's Always a beautiful experience. The architecture and flow is simply magnificent. I'm a solo show attendant and I need to highlight the staff is alway on top of their game ;the efficiency of all the check points, and everyone from security to the impeccable staff is top tier. More importantly it can always be a bit awkward when you go to a show alone but this venue has a way of making me feel calm cool and collected before a show . Music is all about energy from the moment you step into a venue ,to music playing in the speakers ,to the opening band playing their first note it never fails how great the atmosphere at the eastern is

    Mark and I came here on Thursday night for the Washed Out concert. This was our first time visiting this venue and we loved it! We enjoyed dining on the rooftop and the food and drinks were very good. It's a covered area with ceiling fans plus large televisions that allow you to watch the concert live. Despite the brutal heat the rooftop was comfortable. The seating area is open and we tucked ourselves into a stepped area with large deep steps that double as seating. Patrons can either choose to sit or stand and mingle in spacious areas in the venue. Food and bar staff are friendly and efficient. Bathrooms are clean and spacious without any waiting times. We love this venue and look forward to attending future events here. One thing to note is that the venue doesn't own the adjacent parking deck or street spaces. We arrived early and noticed that Park Mobile is the vendor that controls the surface parking areas around the venue. We arrived at 645pm and the dynamic pricing model that Park Mobile utilizes had put a rate of $35.75 for a street space. This is an insane price especially if you're only there to patronize one of the attached restaurants. The car in front of us was being booted and I asked the attendant if this pricing is typical and he informed me that it can go up to $55!! The Park Mobile app forces these prices based on demand. Next time we will use Uber.

    The venue was one of the most organized concerts I have been too. There is a parking garage directly adjacent to the Eastern. There were signs which helped to know which line to enter : quick pass or regular. We waited approximately 5 hours before the doors opened. There is a restaurant (Small Fries ) as well as restrooms. The venue also provided free water outside as well as during concert. When doors opened everyone had to pass metal detectors. Inside was nice and cold. There are multiple levels providing great views for all. Inside you could also get alcohol as well as outside restaurant. Staff was quick to respond to any emergency situations such as people passing out in crowd. One of best venues I have attended.

    First time going here for a concert 12/28/2024. State of the Art venue. The show was great. I went here to go see Jeezy Playlist Concert All Black Affair. My bro saw Jeezy years ago in a club in Macon GA. This was my first time seeing him perform! The only thing that was like eeh was the parking deck. The first level you are good if you go on the 2nd or 3rd floor you have to wait for a gate to get unlocked to leave. Idk whether they were trying to clear the first level and was done by the parking company.

    Ask the Community - The Eastern

    Is the area safe around the theater for parking?

    That exact area was fine... parking decks, some nice looking condos. Go up the street a couple blocks, not so awesome. But that's Atlanta. I've never been in an area there where I was more than a few blocks away from a fairly unsafe area.… Read more

    Does The Eastern still require proof of a COVID test for concert this Friday?

    As of 01/2024, no.

    How early can I get to the venue for a concert (general admission)?

    Doors opened one hour before showtime for Christopher Cross.

    What time would a 9pm concert end at?

    Depends on the artist(s). You can check setlist.fm to see how long they played at other venues.

    If I bought a mezzanine ticket will I be standing in some other area other than the floor? Would I be allowed to go down to the floor ? Just wondering !

    Once you get inside, it's really pretty open to wander from "upstairs" to the "floor". At least it was at our concert. Nobody checking your sections as you wandered..the upstairs bars are far less crowded, so we watched several people walk up from… Read more

But I have to say, I was SO impressed with the space. I'm no art aficionado, and I'm not even going to try to review this space for the quality as an art gallery or anything like that. I LOVE the fact that the owner has retained the "house" feeling. And the sound system was outstanding. The space was just charming, and the designated parking lot across the street was a lifesaver. I don't know any better as far as deciding how it was compared to any other places, but for what Miles, Kawai, and Trace Studios wanted to do, I can't imagine a better place for it.
