Great acoustics! Very swank. Front row balcony are the best seats in the house!

A beautiful landmark theater. So glad it's open and we're having events again. There is a parking garage, but I just took a uber.

Great as always...beautiful vintage venue with great acoustics. The girls needed more help behind the bar on the top floor but were very nice and advertised for other artists coming to the theatre.

A true Gem! Entrance was smooth, health protocols for entrance applied. Super friendly staff and the venue is just classic, clean and comfortable! Super convenient since it’s about a half a block from Bart! Can’t wait to go back!

Thanks! Your review is awaiting moderation.

Does the theater have ramps? Honestly, I hope they do because it would be unfair for those in wheelchair or those who got injury and can't walk up stairs.

The venue is equipped for dealing with people in wheelchairs. They are very accommodating, and you can request special handicapped seating. I needed to do it for a general admission only event, and got great seating. Once you get in the theater tell one of the ushers that you need handicap seating and they will take care of you. Good luck.

Just curious as to why the Tim Allen show starts at 5:00? That seems like such an odd time to me.

Nancy Clarkson | Aug 23, 2018
Tanya Purifoy | Aug 23, 2018

Maybe that is the time the promoters set it up to start. The paramount is only a venue the promoters are the ones that set up the show dates and times.

One block north on the same side of the street is an uncovered paid parking lot usually attended during scheduled performances. Across the street from the box office is a covered and attended city parking lot. We use these every year for performances.

How much is the parking lots?

Monica Villazana | Aug 22, 2020
Veronica Iraheta | Aug 22, 2020

I saw one that said $35, I've person I met said about $50 for the ones that are real close, but I didn't verify those information. They fill up very quickly! If you arrive early, you can find a spot in the street. I recommend that. Also, prepare yourself by bringing some cash for any kind of unforseen difficulty. The parking lots only accept cash, and we weren't able to find an ATM that would work. I hope this helps.

If you go to the paramount and they scan your tickets at the front door and let you in. Then the usher takes you to your reserved paid for seats and someone is sitting in them,what should the usher then do. Because what happened to us was unreal

gregory paul | Aug 23, 2019
Justin Tilson | Aug 23, 2019

The usher should assist with removing the people from your seat. Sounds like this is less a question for Google & something that should be sent to management at The Paramount, which can probably be done through their website or by calling them
