I liked The Studio at the Factory because I prefer smaller venues! Light show was fun and the sound carried well. I also liked how there were mini screens throughout so you can see the graphics. There was a pole in the way where I was standing so that was helpful. The prices for drinks are higher but that's typical for music venues/stadium. If you ever get a chance to see Nimino (the DJ who performed) definitely check him out! read more

Husband and I went to a concert here to celebrate my husbands birthday and it was okay. This is a small venue so it was a standing only event. The concert lasted about two and a half hours long and at first that doesn't seem too bad but after a long day it was a little bit uncomfortable and disappointing to not be able to sit somewhere. Service at the bar was friendly, we didn't personally get any drinks but ours friends who joined us told us they were friendly. From what I saw they didn't have any food in this venue which makes sense since there wasn't any seating available. The venue was cold so take a light sweater! But it was in Deep Ellum so that was pretty cool, parking was easy to find as well. read more

Aging venue is passable, with decent sound and large bar, but unnecessarily painful check-in and ridiculous parking. GA is the way it is for venues in Deep Ellum. As long as the stage is high enough and the crowd is not too douchey, it's ok. Southside Ballroom is my least favorite for this reason (short stage, annoying crowds). The Studio, which was Canton Hall a couple years ago, is small enough that its not hard to see the band, even from the back. The subwoofers were popping from fatigue a few times during the show. And the vocals were lost regularly (might have been due to the band's sound guy). By far the worst part of the night was checking in. My +1 had been at Six Flags all day and was experiencing some back stiffness (not uncommon due to a college sports injury). She brought a prescription in with her in case she had pain from the standing-only GA setup. The door people would not let her bring it in, despite the fact it had her name on the bottle and was clearly *prescribed* to her. They offered to hold it in the office (which seems like a massive liability exposure for them) and would not come straight out and say why, despite me asking repeatedly, "What's the issue, exactly?" I guess they are worried about people selling their scrips in there? So worried that they treat responsible adults like drug dealers. It felt super crappy. We walked the bottle back to the car in the parking garage a couple blocks away. Speaking of parking, it's available for $10 in the parking garage two blocks east. If you want to park on the street, a guy will try to charge you $20 cash ("I don't have the card reader", he said) which seemed pretty sketch. A Shiner and a water bottle were $15. Overpriced but not surprising. If your favorite band is playing here, park in the parking garage and make sure to read their bag policy. read more

The Studio at the Factory - Kings Kaleidoscope - Venues & Event Spaces Near Me - Dallas, Texas

Understanding this is a very small music venue, I had a good experience this week. We arrived about 30 minutes before the event and waited briefly as they checked ID's and slapped on wrist bands. We positioned on the right side and if I were to return in the future, I would move more towards the middle and closer to the front. On the left of the venue is the only bar and while it was crowded between artist, the pace wasn't bad for grabbing drinks. Once again, this is a small venue and expect it to be crowded. No seating, just standing room only for the event I attended. Enjoy. read more

Great performances. Place was oversold and too many people. Felt dangerous and uncomfortable. Way too many people. Great bar. Sweet barmaid! Bathroom attendant awesome. Ticket crew nice! Excellent venue. Just manage crowd better. 5 star otherwise. read more

Loved the intimacy of the venue. Standing room only, but already knew that going in. Super friendly staff all the way from the entrance to the bar staff. Very chill environment. Will definitely look into more shows here! read more

Saw Jade Bird and Wild Rivers. Very intimate venue and fun atmosphere. Place was packed but logistically they got us in and out quickly. Very fun venue and prefer this to places like AAC. read more

Wow, did Flight Facilities put on a show or what? The show felt a little more intimate because the venue was not huge, the crowd was active and dressed as the flight crew, and the vocals were live! I did not have to fight my way through the crowd to get a great view as the stage was elevated. I didn't care for the lighting or the visuals.... They felt very high school theater production. It didn't elevate any moment of the show. They had a great bar selection. Liquor, beer, water.... What more could you ask for. It was my first time at this venue, but I'm excited to see myself on that dance floor in the future. read more

The band, concert, and sound was great. Staff were friendly too. Couple downsides were the floors were sticky and slippery. None of the mens bathroom sinks had soap (not sure if staff has their own bathroom). Costs: I ordered 2 beers and they charged me $37. Tickets were around ~$30 each online for me. read more

This venue consistently oversells shows, causing overcrowding and dangerous conditions. I've been to this venue a handful of times now, and every single show has been oversold - which not only makes it miserable to try and enjoy the show because people are constantly bumping into you or pushing through you to get to the bar, the bathrooms or get outside - but there are some serious occupancy violations that if an emergency occurred, you're almost guaranteed to get crushed and many will be unable to escape in the event of a fire or other emergency. At the most recent show, even the MEDICAL crew were struggling to push through the crowd to provide medical help. How is that okay?! This venue is going to kill someone, if they haven't already. I'm shocked that this venue hasn't been shut down and that they continue to oversell shows that pack the place so full you can hardly move or allow medical to get to people quickly and easily. I'll no longer support this venue and I hope the city will look into these occupancy violations that are risking everyone's safety. Oh, and let's not forget that the main venue - The Bomb Factory - has a terrible history of concertgoers getting roofied. This venue doesn't care about safety. Period. read more

Great experience here! No complaints. Perfect little venue. Parking nearby in garage is easy short walk. The check in was smooth

We had a great time seeing Inzo here! The space is large enough for it to feel like a party but not so big that the sound quality was bad. It's all GA and you will be standing so just understand that going in and you'll have a great time! The drinks were reasonably priced and every employee was friendly. Looking forward to our next visit! read more

This place has a lot of potential, but I walked out of the Teddy Swims show here less than an hour after it started. I was *so* looking forward to seeing him live. Now I know why Deep Ellum has a reputation, because my eardrums and wallet definitely received a beatdown. This isn't a music venue at all. It's a place to come when you can't escape the voices in your head and just want to drown them out. When you're tired of listening to your sorrows, or anyone at all really. In fact, a 3 year old could get a job as a sound engineer here. "See this knob? Yep, just rotate that all the way to the right. PERFECT! Here's a lollipop.". I gave the bartender a $20 bill for a $10 drink and didn't get any change. It was impossible to hear or talk to him anyway, so he went home with a big tip to match his attitude. The parking situation here is also absurd, with semi-regular looking people on the street collecting money to park in street parking. They took cash or card, so that seemed more legitimate, but it still seemed shady. Is that even legal? I have no way of knowing... but, for a venue that large, they need to get themselves together. I won't be back. read more

I moved to the Dallas area about a year ago and this past weekend was my first time out at a show. I saw Kiana Ledé and it was amazing. The space was has good ac that day, we love that. I'd definitely come to another show here. read more

These clowns at security are a joke. This whole place is run like shit, and we stood outside for 45 minutes after "doors opened". Great talent on stage, useless jack wagons at the venue. They told us we couldn't come in with a tiny RESQME tool, because "I can break it and get a blade out of it", but then wouldn't bother to demonstrate when I told him to show me. Useless security. If they're going to make stupid rules, they should clearly define those rules in the multiple emails they send. Instead, they don't say anything about what's prohibited so they can tell you to go walk across Deep Ellum back to your car to drop something off on the security guy's whim. I won't be coming back. This place is lame. read more

We walked to the door and they tell us they require a mask to enter and if you don't have one they sell them for a $1 in cash. Who carry's cash anymore ??? We get inside and they immediately tell us you don't need a mask it's just to enter. Are you serious??? Everyone was complaining how cold it was. My drink was a vodka cranberry and I received a cranberry. Where was the vodka??? The line for drinks was sooooo long. The opener started 45 min late and the main snow waited 30-45 min after the opener. Would not return. read more
