    The Mavericks
    Holly W.

    First time here, for the Mavericks and Dwight Yoakum. Great show. Security very lax. No one seems to check tickets. Sound is good. Concessions are typically expensive. Cashless. Bathrooms clean. It gets hot and stuffy even at night time. No cover, so you're out of luck if it rains. Nice staff. Parking seems slip shod. We left before the end of the show after I read the reviews about exiting the lot.

    Attended the Keith Urban concert there, great venue for a concert. The sound, lights, all were great. Concessions were a little expensive. Parking and exiting the venue after the concert was over was a nightmare! It was pretty much every man for themselves. There wasn't any rhyme nor reason for anything that was happening. We were instructed to park in a certain lot in order to head east once we left, but nope, that wasn't the case. The police that were directing traffic at one point just up and left, leaving a traffic nightmare. It took almost an hour just to get out of the parking lot and another 30 minutes to get to a main road. You would think that a concert venue would have a parking and exit plan for the attendees, it appears that the Wharf does not. Will not be attending another concert there.

    Always a great time at the Wharf! Great venue no bad seats. The staff is friendly the beers are ice cold. They do well on moving the line quickly to get in. Bathrooms are in one central location.

    We have arrived!!! It's one of my honey's bday presents. Doobie Brothers 50th anniv tour in less than an hour, wooohooo!!

    This is my local concert venue, situated in the complex The Wharf. I have attended several here and there's not a bad seat in the house, last night's was the 50th anniversary tour of the Doobie Brothers and it was fantastic. The Wharf Amphitheatre is a wide-open concert space with just under 10,000 available seats across three sections. You can purchase tickets at the onsite box office and tickets are available online at ticketmaster.com. The Wharf's sprawling free parking lots offer ample territory for tailgating ahead of shows with handicap parking, which is handicap accessible, plus premier parking. That parking can be purchased with concert tickets and is located right behind gate 4. There's public restrooms and concessions that serve snacks, beer and wine. The Wharf is an official Entertainment District with lots of family-friendly events throughout the year, including the nightly Laser Light Experience show, fireworks, live music, DJ's, kid's events and much more. There's shopping at unique stores and a wide variety of meals at a number of restaurants. There,'s arcades, a movie theater, zip line, ferris wheel or train ride, and on-the-water excursion at the Wharf marina. Bottom line: A pretty nice concert venue with easy access, plenty of free parking, good security and a lot going on outside the venue within walking distance. https://alwharf.com/amphitheater/tickets  Box Office Hours · Monday-Thursday: 10 am - 4 pm · Friday: 10 am - 2 pm · Concert Days: 10 am - 10 pm

    Saw Dave Matthews here last night. Definitely recommend NOT going when it is any hotter than 80 degrees. While we were able to chill out most people could not settle down to enjoy the show, constant movement and activity bc of the heat and uncomfortable seats, bleachers. Not people dancing and enjoying the show, just wandering looking for fans, relief etc. EMS took a few people out before the show had barely started. While all venues like this are overpriced, at least there is actual alcohol in the drinks. The frozen daiquiri with a shot tasted like absolutely nothing. Stick to the canned drinks bc they have to be watering the alcohol way down. Couldn't even taste the fruit flavor much less what was supposedly a shot of rum that was served as a sidecar. The parking situation is abysmal. They need more staff to direct and manage. When we came out of the concert, they had blocked certain parts of the parking lot off so it took us a long time to walk around the barriers they set up to get to our car.

    Was having a good time, until this lack of a man right here.

    Was having a good time, until this lack of a man right here. The wharf won't be having many more concerts if they keep hiring people like this. He was a bully to several people and even threatened to throw out 2 teenage girls because they "took someone's spot" hello it is general admission you don't have saved spots. I spoke to his boss and he even said he is a hot head...

    a large crowd of people

    Went to see Dave Mathews here during a fabulous beach vacation and this venue was the lone disappointment. This amphitheater is part of a large outdoor mall. We arrived early and had a fabulous dinner. The website said we were required to have clear bags or a wristlet smaller than 5x7. So I paid $70 at a boutique in the mall in order to comply with the rules. As I stood in line I watched woman after woman walk in with giant hobo purses and backpacks. While I'm sure they were happy the rule wasn't enforced I found it frustrating that the requirements were set of not actually required. So I was annoyed before we even sat down. Concession choices were comparable to a college frat party. Choices included 3 beers all of which were lite lagers. Coors lite, Michelob Ultra, or Miller lite. I settled for wine in a box. Luckily we ate before we got there because nachos were the only food choice. Then, once we arrived at our seats we were appalled to find that our $200 a piece seats were actually over sold metal bleachers. Keep in mind, this is July in Alabama so the heat was radiating off the seats. There was nobody in our row who was particularly over weight but once we all found our seats there was not actually enough room to sit. I tried scooting into nearby empty seats but once everyone arrived there was literally not enough room to sit. To top off being inexcusably overcrowded and hot this "non-smoking " venue quickly became filled with a fog of cigarettes and other assorted smokes. There were absolutely no security to enforce this rule and it was intolerably uncomfortable. Not to mention the fact that we were surrounded by young kids wearing adorable shirts announcing their first Dave show. Dave needs to know this venue is a mess and they should be ashamed to have asked such discomfort from their loyal fans.

    We came here for the USSSA World Series opening ceremony. So, I have no idea how the acoustics are or anything like that. When you enter the wharf area it is lined with souvenir shops. Now when you enter there is a parking lot so we automatically thought that is where you should park. If you drive further through the wharf there is more parking closer to the amphitheater. Since we walked all over the amphitheater trading pins I noticed that there really wasn't a bad seat in the house. They all had an excellent view of the stage.

    I wouldn't necessarily consider this a true amphitheatre in a sense that there is no cover / top on the place and it rains A LOT in the south... BUT, it did not rain the night we went... It's kind of a cool entry, you walk across a raised wooden sidewalk type thang. The sound was good. The rear of the venue is high school style bleachers (no back rest) so not the most comfortable. The best part about this place and I was shocked when I discovered it... They have Makers Mark. So they gain 01 full star for that. I had SEVERAL Makers Marks... and was feelin' nice.
