What an amazing time at The Fillmore. One word. WOW!!!!I’m in town for the NACM Conference and our conference engagement was held at The Fillmore. I was unsure as to what the location was, however, after I googled it, I instantly became excited for the experience.Walking up to The Fillmore puts you in the mindset of a movie theater as the first thing you see are the stairs heading up to the indoor entrance. Once you hit the top of the stairs, you are met with a beautiful chandelier and dim lighting. The entrance is an open space which allows for ample options of creative design and has a bar to get the party started. LoL!As I walked around the wall to the main area my eyes grew big. The space is hugeeeeeeee. The design puts you in the mindset of a concert venue, yet, it was nice to see how it was converted to meet the needs of our event. There were some Hi-Top Tables placed on the main floor towards the middle, with some sitting tables around the outer area. Each side was lined with mini-buffet tables as we were able to make our rounds and enjoy what each table had to offer. The permanent seating areas fit perfectly as well as they allowed those who wanted to engage but not have to be on the main floor a space to enjoy the night.There is a bar in each side and they are hugeeeeeeeeeeee. This was perfect as we had close to 400 people throughout the night.As the space is designed with sounds in mind, I was happy to hear the clarity of the music as the “Mixed Nuts” band was on stage performing. As they presented stellar vocals and true musicians playing music, the fact that the sound system was crystal clear made their delivery even more enjoyable.The staff of The Fillmore was amazing. From the bartenders, to the servers, to the clean up team. Everyone was very pleasant, delivered a blend of southern charm and warming smiles, and most importantly; they ensured the night was enjoyable.It was truly an amazing experience at The Fillmore. I am so happy to have been afforded the opportunity to experience The Fillmore during my time in New Orleans.
I thought the space was well thought out. The sound was good and the bathrooms were huge. Im taking a star away for the absolutely exorbitant prices of the drinks. Id understand if the show prices were inexpensive but they are not, there is no reason to drink here when you can get a high end, incentive, and excellent cocktail just blocks away for what they charge for well drinks.
Had the Pleasure of seeing Adam Ant & The English Beat last night. This was my 1st time @ The Fillmore and loved my experience. The Bands were great, the atmosphere was awesome and the entire staff was Amazing. They were so very friendly and helpful. They interacted with the guest so very well. Can’t wait to come back
Visited The Fillmore for the very 1st time while on vacation in NOLA for my 60th Bday. My Sweetie surprised me with tickets to see the 1st show of the R&B Money Tour featuring TANK! We were the first ones to arrive at the VIP entrance,Mr. Karl Thomas (not the artist) was very engaging and kind, we were there before the metal detector was ready, and he shared he was a life long resident of NOLA, it was great. The VIP Lounge Bartender was awesome (Henry, from Alabama) (I wish I could remember his last name). I did not like the seats being so close together on the 5th row, but I never do at any concert on the floor near the front. The show was awesome hope to catch the show in Virginia.
Very quaint venue for music 🎵 concert. Sound quality is superb.The seats in the rear in the elevated section are very comfortable. Not a bad seat in the house though.
Great sound. Comfortable seating. No bad views. Plenty of bar space, even a few tables. Great music venue
Good venue to see a show. Sound is great and you can make your way up to the stage for close up viewing. Bathroom is big and clean. Must be 30 pissers in there and clean. Prices on drinks are high as to be expected in a downtown joint. They check your bags and go through a metal detector for security. Many bars and lounge areas with monitors to watch the shows from afar.
Donny was one of the most kind, welcoming workers I have ever met in any venue I have been to (and I am from the New Orleans area). He answered any question I asked, was kind and graceful throughout the night (despite people being intoxicated), and showed the utmost professionalism and respect to every patron I saw him interact with. I had never been to the Fillmore previously; however, because of Donny, genuinely my experience here was incredibly pleasant despite the crowd. Special shoutout to the bartenders for also being so kind. Truly cannot recommend enough.
Excellent venue with fantastic “krewe.” I went to see IDLES & of the staff were so helpful. They handed out earplugs and water throughout the show, always kept an eye on the crowd, and you could tell they were having fun too. The bathroom is giant and clean too. If I was a local, I’d come back all the time. A true highlight of my New Orleans trip.
Husband and I went to The Fillmore for the first time to attend a Boney James concert which was WONDERFUL. (This was a seated concert. Not standing room only). The acoustics in this place are great and the stadium seating toward the back was comfy. The only complaint is there was no bottled water to purchase.
The place was nice and intimate. The problem was the black bartender with the dreads he was rude and very disrespectful. He was loud, obnoxious, and used profanity. He really act as if he was on drugs and couldn’t control himself. He was given the assignment and the other bartender completed it without any problem but him. He was asked not to make drink overly sweet. When I tasted it I told him and he said it was so good that why it was sweet. I asked to pay for an additional shot and he got crazy. He was an Epic failure!! He needs complete control of temper and training on customer service
This is one of the nicest venues Ive ever been to. Its clean, great sound and the staff is friendly. If youre questioning seeing a band here, I highly recommend it. 🙌🤘
The Fillmore is a great place to see a concert in New Orleans. Most of the place is set up for standing so you can get really close to the bands and right in the center of the music. There is sitting around the venue if that’s what you prefer. They have several great bars, excellent bartenders, and several places just to sit and hang out. They have a selection of food too, if you get the munchies. Also, it’s worth noting, there are plenty of toilets in the bathrooms are very clean. If you can go to a show at the Fillmore do it, it’s gonna be a great time.
Went to see A Day To Remember, they were fantastic! This place was very clean! Staff was absolutely outstanding!! Guards and bartenders were so kind and friendly. They brought water to plenty of us in the front so we wouldnt lose our spots. The guards caught EVERYONE who was crowed surfing!! Absolutely amazing!! Will be back to see even more shows here!
Went to see Adam Ant here… first time at The Fillmore and loved it! Easy access into and out, perfect capacity, no bad seats.. great interior, plentiful bar access, no waiting.. and the staff were extremely nice and helpful. I’ll be back for sure!
Great concert venue. The sound is very good but extremely loud. I would highly recommend some sort of earbuds. We used eargasm and had no ringing or headache.
I recommend GA tickets here. The venue is very spacious with premium seating (high-top tables)on each side of the floor and stadium seating in the back.It’s important to note if you get the VIP lounge experience it is NOT in eyesight view of the stage/artist. It is a lounge room that is outside of the concert hall and you watch the show live on televisions. If you prefer a more private experience, go for it. If you prefer the energy of being in the audience, go for the GA or premium seats in the main concert hall.There are multiple bars inside the concert hall (on each side of the floor) AND another in the lobby/waiting area. The drinks are reasonably priced for an event venue! The doubles are a great bang for your buck.
It was my first time attending an event at The Fillmore… and it did not disappoint!Really love the setup which made Pre-show beverages and navigation super simple. HUGE PROPS to Catherine (I believe) who immediately introduced herself and offered assistance with any requests/concerns I might have. Last, but not least, BIANCA, GETS ALL THE PROPS IN THE WORLD!!! Bianca was on it all night! She (along with the kitchen) made the cotton candy cheesecake happen after a brief moment of thinking it wasn’t in the cards. She was also very knowledgeable of the offerings, quick with the delivery, and EXTREMELY PERSONABLE! Thank you for helping to make the night.It goes without saying that the opening set and main show were…. AMAZING!!Hope to see the duo again and CAN’T wait to see my next show atThe Fillmore!!
Recently attended Boney James a super smooth jazz artist. He lived up to his “GEAUX Boney” swagger. The facility is a nice seating for a concert. The sound engineer(s) were GARBAGE!!! The bass was annoyingly loud and not fitting for a premiere “smooth jazz” artist. This was not an outdoor concert ! I experienced much better audio mixing at an outdoor festival (Seabreeze). It makes me carefully consider whether it is worth another road trip and hotel for such a disappointing display of audio engineering expertise or in the case, the lack thereof! 👎🏾👎🏾👎🏾
Attended the Pierce the Veil & The Used show last night and this place blew my mind! It was my first time and I’ll definitely be back! The staff was amazing and the environment was perfect! My wife and I were in VIP, mad props to our server! I forgot her name but we were in D5! Hands down, show of the year so far of 2023!
We went for the Drag Diva Brunch (which was very enjoyable). With that said, most of my review is focused on the venue. The tickets stated Doors 10:30am but there wasn’t an actual start time. We arrived shortly ahead of 10:30 and were directed upstairs to the waiting area. There are A LOT of stairs, so be prepared! An elevator is provided if needed. They let us in the actual space at 11am. I feel like the vagueness in the time is a money making tactic so guests will buy drinks at the bar in the waiting area. There’s a photo area with the Drag Diva Brunch Logo and the staff will take your picture (pretty cool). There was a good variety of food on the buffet but it all tasted meh! The actual show didn’t start until almost 12pm and ended around 2:30ish pm. 4 hours total at the Fillmore was way too long in my opinion. I can only hope that the other events are handled differently.
Acoustics are fantastic but the stage is pretty small which limits how creative artists can get. That being said, its still an excellent venue. The layout is very nicely set up with the merch tables first when you walk in but out of the way, one of 3 bars in the large entrance space, and super clean bathrooms with tons of stalls near the entrance to the main concert area. There is a large general admission/floor and some seating available. We had GA the first time, and the pictures here are from the view of the center seating, row D, seat 16 (ticket said row DD). The pictures arent great quality but other than being far, we had a completely clear view of the stage. The Fillmore also serves food and has a cool vibe with its unique decor.
Great Venue! Definitely wasn’t expecting the huge no-wait bathroom! Multiple bars and modern ambiance on the inside. The outside marquee and street appearance doesn’t do it justice
Awesome venue for our conference event. Unfortunately, we had more people than were expected so it was a little packed. That wasnt their problem though. Bartenders were prepared for the work and super friendly all night. One of my favorite parts was the small lunge/club off the side of the first bar you come to. It gave that exclusive/speakeasy vibe that made it pretty unique. Only issue I saw was the stairs to enter the place. There was not a clear alternative to use an elevator or handicapped entrance. Not all on them, we could have just missed it!
Great venue to see a concert. The lines can get long out front, however, if you are over 21, you can get in through the entrance in Masquerades in the casino. Just go right inside, enter the casino and head to Masquerades. Theres hardly a line in there. The floor is small enough for you to be close to your favorite band. Be forewarned, that if the whole crowd starts to jump as they did at my last concert, the floor will shake. It didnt cave in though. Even from the far back youre no more than a hundred or so feet from the stage. Overall, one of my favorite places to see a concert. Highly recommend going here.
Good acoustics. Awesome lighting. We sat in the reserved bleachers behind the standing room only section. Doing so was worth the extra money. The staff was friendly and attentive. I forgot the venue was above a casino. Im super glad they finally built something on the second floor of Harrah. Ill give it a thumbs up. Id go back.
Good venue, good acoustics, good size crowd. It was not so loud that you felt you had to have ear plugs but the sound filled the room well, a big plus in my book. Felt a little strange being above hundreds of slot machine players, and the floor definitely shook when the crowd got jumpy into the songs, but we did not fall through the floor, so all is well.
Went to an awesome private event live band buffet fantastic bar lots of good drinks good people
My husband and I visited The Filmore for the first time this weekend to see X Ambassadors and both of us left saying Where has this place been all my life?! The spirits and food where great. The venue itself is a perfect size for great acoustics and has the intimacy of a private concert, not a bad seat in the house. Two full size large bars flank the concert space and a third full size bar can be found in the foyer space, you shouldnt ever be left thirsty. I highly recommend catching any of your favorite artist here or using this space for hosting.
Aside from the gorgeous venue. The HOSPITALITY at the Filmore is unlike any other venue.Trent the operation manager is the G.O.A.T here and is attentive, friendly, and informative!I’m looking forward to the next event here!
Really nice venue and you can bring in a bag! There are TVs to watch the stage from the bar and seating available if you dont want to stand by the stage and watch.
I went here for a comedy performance. Entered the building, everyone was so nice and accommodating, we ended up at the upstairs bar, great bartenders and cocktails. A nice area to sit while waiting to go into the hall. When we entered the hall I was a bit shocked. The seating was a whole floor of white garden chairs, the kind at a cheap wedding. Ok, that’s not what I expected. We had bought expensive orchestra seats, 3rd row. We were at the end of the row, I knew this but I didn’t think 25% of the stage view would be obstructed. The seats were so close together, no elbow room and in the south people are wider than a garden chair. They were terribly uncomfortable to sit in for such a long time. I’ll never return to this venue. Such a waste, location is great and staff do an excellent job but a totally awful set-up.
Awesome venue. Just the right size. Easy parking nearby. It made for an amazing concert experience.
The Fillmore is a legendary institution wrought by the godlike hands of Bill Graham. There was one in San Francisco and one in New York City. So when a venue bearing that legacy opened in New Orleans, I was interested.Well, this place is a worthy descendent. The spaces are wide so theres no feeling of claustrophobia. The staff are super helpful and competent. The sound system and light rig are essentially perfect.My first complaint is almost trivial except that its pretty important to me: no Coke. Pepsi. I reeeeeeeally dont like that.My second misgiving is the prepaid parking in the lot across the street. Super convenient to take care of that when youre buying tickets to your event, but the reservation is for 4 hours and frankly, I had to leave my show a little early because I wasnt into spending a single second negotiating with a lot attendant, tow truck driver or impound lot owner. I dont know for sure if thats a venue thing or a ticket vendor thing, but somebody needs to take ownership and fix it.Rounding up with those two rather minor demerits still leaves a 5 star experience. Im looking forward to seeing more shows there.Update: after consulting other fans of the concert I attended, I was assured that the show ended promptly, just in time to retrieve my car from paid parking and get on with my life. So the time pressure anxiety was entirely my own responsibility. Good job, everybody!
The only reason I choose a 3 was because of the super rude security guards. Other than that, its a lovely venue. Security nearly ruined my night before I even walked in the door.
I very rarely get to enjoy live music because of anxiety issues, but I couldnt resist Dermot Kennedy.... after being at the Fillmore New Orleans for several hours, I am beyond overjoyed to know that Ive got at least one place where I can come for concerts, because at every turn the staff has magically been right there, with the right words, the right smile, the patience to deal with my constant questions and ability to get lost in, like a cardboard box much less a place this size. Im SO thankful that these people not only handle a deluge of tourists every day (Im NOT even a tourist but Im sure acting like one right now) with not only patience, but true kindness. Not only will I be back Again and Again, Im taking notes back to my staff that will make us better and our guests happier. This has been absolutely amazing. Thank you so much, Fillmore New Orleans. All of you.
NYE I purchased VIP tickets and I am sitting here with no food. Waiter walks past a lot never stops. I thought I’d get a table for two instead I’m at a seat. I’ll definitely have more re details with pictures coming soon. This was a BIG Hell NO….money wasted!!!!
Very great place! Best staff I’ve dealt with and every concert has been great there!
The Filmore is a very nice place to go see a concert I love the atomphere its just right for entertainment and the staff was the best they were very nice and pleasant I will be back soon!
Ok, first let me state that the venue is definitely great. It’s open, spacious but not overwhelmingly big and probably a great place to see a music show. Unfortunately, I wasn’t there for a music show. I was there for a comedy show.I wish I could’ve taken pictures of how horrible the seating was. My seats were in the “orchestra” row c, three rows from the stage. Paid a premium for them. Obviously.The seats were tiny white plastic (think wedding/event) folding chairs. And when I say tiny, I mean, almost child sized. There’s more room on a Spirit Air seat than these. We were all cramped together, shoulder overlapping shoulder.For almost $300 a ticket I definitely expected something a bit more comfy. Totally disappointed. Oh and definitely pre game before you go, because $18 for a large beer is egregious.So, in short, probably a great place to see a music show, a horrible place to see anything with “orchestra” seating.
Great venue. Lots of space to move around and easy access to bar.
Nice clean venue. Very hospitable staff. Nice art!
A dope place to go to a show, some pretty decent food, and a stones throw from some of NOLAs big hotspots
Great venue, sweet staff, we will be back. From the moment we had our tickets scanned, we were treated very kind. The Fillmore Krewe is the best! We were directed in, had our parking validated at the box office ($9 parking for concerts if you park at Canal Place Premium Parking 400 garage)... made a quick visit to the bar (Michelob Ultra tall boy $9), and were directed to the concert hall. There is a seating area in the foyer of the venue with leather couches and TVs that show the stage... we saw Meshuggah and I spent a good bit of time on the couch watching the tv. Just a great venue with the best staff. We will be driving down often for concerts.
Beautiful venue. A bit more signage when entering would have been nice, simply because it was my first time to visit the Fillmore. Most of the employees were super friendly. The lady taking the tickets seemed over it but we were super stoked, so we may have been a little over the top. Thanks for a lovely evening Fillmore.
Went to see Karen Waldrup here during a conference. Probably the best part of the whole trip to NOLA.
This venue is consistently overcrowded. I have been to 4 concerts here in the past year and this was true of them all. Concerts here are VERY uncomfortable and exhausting because of how much overcrowded it is. Even if you are standing far back into the crowd it is a true challenge to exit to get a drink/go to the restroom. Something to be aware of.
Overrated..cant believe all these 5 star reviews...just a typical casino small venue..ive seen much better/classier in Vegas and in connecticut...Lead staff/manager disorganized letting patrons into venue...one hour delay ....paid VIP were let in same time as GA from casino ..why bother paying for VIP entrance?....also when you enter from the street be prepared to climb 100 steps...if you attend a show here enter from harrahs at escalator ..seemed smoother entry
Incredible venue! Excellent design and layout for live music. Big, concert PA and lighting rigs. Large, well-staffed bars with reasonably (for a concert venue) priced drinks. Overall, a quality well run place; sets a new standard for concert venues in New Orleans with a very high bar.
Please do no buy any advanced or pre show tickets in their lounge. It’s a total scam and everyone will act confused when you ask questions or raise concerns. I bought pre show tickets to Fleet Foxes back in June that promised a pre show from a band or another musical act in their stupid lounge, but most importantly early entry to the venue. It was even confirmed via email by the manager that this would give me early entry to the show. I waited in line in the “VIP line” which was separate from the GA line for an hour. I kept asking when they’d let me and the other VIP guests in and everyone always seemed confused by my question. I lost it when I was allowed in ALONGSIDE the rest of the GA. I spent around an additional $100 for this “VIP pre show” access and 1. There was no pre show at the lounge (which is what the ticket said would happen) and 2. They didn’t honor my early entrance. When I complained to the ticket office they acted like I was crazy for being upset and kept making it seem like it would make it ok if I still got to the front of the pit. That’s wasn’t the issue, the issue is that I paid extra money for perks they said I would have and didn’t get. I was told I would be given a refund and months later NOTHING. No refund. they gave a me tote bag and thought that would make me forget about this issue. My sister also paid extra money for “exclusive merch” and later realized it was more expensively priced (the ticket) merch that was being sold at the merch table anyway. I will forever be sour with this venue and curse them in Spanish.
Its in a great location.The beds are amazingly comfortable, and the rooms are extremely clean. Bathrooms are gorgeous.Amenities are weak - pool is small and doesnt have sunshine access.
The venue is beautiful. Staff is friendly but the We had a bad experience with one of the security guards. My husband brought a pocket knife and forgot about it until we were getting checked and the guy told him to put it somewhere and he could come back and get it after the show. We walk in and my husband is bummed out about his knife so we decide to go back for it and put it in the hotel so he doesn’t loose it cause it was worth $100. When we go back to tell the guy we are just going to take it to the hotel the guy says yeah no problem and takes it out of HIS pocket. He planned on STEALING my husbands knife. Good thing we decided to go back for it.
It is a very nice concert venue. The stage sound was excellent and the room lent itself to the atmosphere very well. One thing that stuck me and definitely put this place over the top was the staff walking around and handing out cups of cold water. May other places would have just used the heat as a way to sell water but they were just passing it out. It was a nice touch on top of an excellent concert. Ill definitely be adding The Fillmore to my list of ticket searches from now on.
What a great venue to see shows. Although Ive been in New Orleans for 15 years, seeing Ministry and Gary Numan was my first show here.Good sound, several bars and bathrooms.
Awesome concert venue. Plenty of bars so you dont have to wait very long. Whoever designed this place definitely knew what they were doing with the bathrooms , there are so many stalls you dont have to wait long either. Sound is great.
Nice concert..... awesome music
I came in with high expectations given that it’s a brand new venue.Overall it’s a huge miss. The layout (for a sold out show) is awful. You need at least 500 less people for it to work. Otherwise it’s a giant clusterF for a sold out crowd trying to get back and forth from bath rooms and bars.Sound isn’t bad.But you’d think a brand new venue in New Orleans would have substantial air flow. No air. Whatsoever. Was a steam room. In a post Covid world I can’t believe a venue wouldn’t have an air system that accommodates a space.Bathrooms? Only one in the entire venue. One. And 80% of the sinks don’t work.Bartenders were hit or miss.Overall very disappointed with our experience to the point where I don’t think I’ll be back.Attend a show at your own peril.
The venue is beautiful, sound was great, views were great. 2 things that need improvement: restrooms need to be stocked. At the beginning of the show, no toilet paper (or seat covers) and soap missing from many of the dispensers in both mens and womens rooms. Again, this was not an end of show problem, just a miss. The other thing that needs to be addressed: you should not have to leave your credit card/ID with the bartenders. Most bars these days swipe your card and give it back. Closeouts at the end of a show would go much smoother if you only had to sign a receipt.
We drove from Mobile,AL to New Orleans on Valentines Day and saw ELLE KING and it was an absolutely AMAZING show. She is one my favorite and she did NOT disappoint. THE RED CLAY STRAYS, a band from back home in Mobile, AL opened up for her and I cannot say enough good things about those guys. They have so much talent between them and their singer, Brandon, a tall (hes 69ft!), dark and handsome fella with a voice that sounds like it comes straight from his soul that can make any girl swoon and all the other guys in the band were equally awesome and we were super lucky to get to experience seeing them opening for the one and only AMAZING ELLE-freakin-KING at the gorgeous FILLMORE NEW ORLEANS. The FILLMORE is a beautiful venue that offers the concert experience in a more intimate setting with amazing giant chandeliers to set a great mood, the choice to stand close to the stage or be seated at tables with servers to bring you cocktails and/or food if you like. And its a bonus that it is also connected to Harrahs Casino and Hotel so you can gamble and get a great hotel room all on the same property. Great experience at a super classy place! We will be back very soon!! Thank you FILLMORE NEW ORLEANS!!❤❤❤
I am not a fan of live venues, so having to walk up so many stairs and doorways just to get to a seat kind of took me by surprise. Unfortunately the chairs are not at all comfortable so after about 40 minutes I found myself wanting to get up and move around just to restore circulation to my legs. Sound wasnt great nor was it awful, and if you did not have a visual monitor magnifying what was going on on stage, you may find yourself seated quite far into the back. I think the focus here is on the multiple bars where they make their extra money.
Absolutely awesome venue!! Ive seen 4 shows there to date and every one of them has been fantastic!! Sound quality is top notch!! Drink prices are what you would expect them to be....ridiculous....lol
Place is nothing short of amazing. Been to several shows here and it is quickly becoming one of my favorite venues in the area. The bartenders and wait staff are phenomenal. The VIP host are very helpful and knowledgeable. There has not been a bad spot to see/hear a show yet. The place is beautiful with many unique twist from the art work to the spacious bathrooms. Definitely looking forward to experiencing more of what they have to offer.There is a lot of negative comments on prices here but the prices are right on point with similar venues in the area that are not anywhere close to the caliber of the shows and experience you get here. Totally worth it.
Ive seen 2 shows here, Clutch and Rob Zombie. Great view from anywhere in the concert area. The sound is excellent, and there is a large area of free stadium-style seating as well as another bar. The spacious lobby, which has a bar, merch area, and couches, is a good chill spot. Good times.
Perfect venu for live music. Plenty of room to dance, seating in the back if ya need to get off your feet . Staff was very helpful as I couldnt find my tickets on phone. Also, the bathrooms were very clean .
I saw two concerts there and the venue was clean and safe - the safety personnel are professional and helpful. The venue has great acoustics. As a side note, never ever ever never order tickets through StubHub. It’s a scam.
The staff were polite and helpful. The drinks were pricier than five bars, but way less than stadium prices. The food is actually quite good. A very good grilled cheese with flavors for adults. Sound quality was good, and the room had an intimate sense
Such a wonderful venue! Very intimate. Water was consistenly passed through the crowds so people could stay hydrated. Will definitely catch another show here.
Went here for the first time last week, and loved the experience. Its a good size for acts too big for the smaller venues in town, but not big enough to justify Smoothie King Center or the Superdome.Very professional, with lots of attentive staff. Ordered a cheeseburger, and it was restaurant quality and served fast. Beer selection was okay. Ive seen complaints about prices, but Ive paid far more for far worse at larger venues.Acoustics were good. Felt a little like a school gymnasium with the long floor with seating towards the back. Which leads to the one warning I would give - the seats cost more, and unless youre determined to have somewhere to sit and dont care if youre away from the stage, dont bother. I was right near the stage, and I know that several people around me had paid for seats, only to abandon them and come to the floor for a better view. Just be aware of what youre getting and youll be satisfied.
Great venue for the Senior Graduation of the Rooted School Class of 2022. Long cardio workout stairway up and down but it was totally worth it. Excellent acoustics to watch my best friends son graduate 🎓.Bravo Nikolai!Land of Hope and Glory, mother of the free!!!!How can we extol thee who are born of thee.
Beautiful place. Awesome sound system.
My favorite place for concerts! I saw the Revivalists and what a show it was!!!! It is a beautiful venue and all the employees are always so very happy and kind!!! Meredith is a TREASURE for sure!!
The drinks were over priced, $31 for 1 canned water, 1 canned chardonnay, and 1 shot of Hennessy. The audio system experienced malfunctions and was inaudible for quite some time.There were other things that could be improved, but these were the things that were under the direct control of The Filmore management. 😕
Great new music venue. Everything was good and moved smoothly. A massive amount of places to get a drink and some delicious food. Nothing ever felt too crowded.Small notes: on Ticketmaster it seemed like there was a balcony. Its not. The seating is kind of bleacher style on the floor. Its great and I would have gotten seats if I would have known!If I could go back and rebuild it, I would have put a slight slope in the floor. Its easy to get stuck behind tall folks.
Great newer venue for a concert. Clean and nice decor. We went for the Jazz Fest in May and had an awesome time. We saw the Foundation of Funk and they were fantastic. The concert hall is huge and we stood right in front of the stage most of the time. It was packed. There were a few different bars and lounge ares with some seating but the concert hall was mostly standing room only. Lots of fun.
Great place to see bands you love because it’s a small enough venue that no one has to be too far from the stage. Much better than seeing them at the large stadium type venues. Beautiful decor. Multiple bars so easy to get a drink. Large bathrooms so there was never a line. I’d definitely go again. Only downside was lots of stairs inside the main entrance because my knees don’t do well on stairs. Next time I’ll see if the entrance to The Fillmore from inside the casino is any better.
Great venue! Didnt have to wait long for drinks and no lines for the restrooms. Great sound and good people. Staff was quick to help with online ticket issues. Only thing I wasnt crazy about is that the only size beer was huge, but probably perfect for the younger big beer drinkers, so Im good.
The facilities were great and Zakk Wylde with Black Label Society was excellent. My Ticketmaster app wouldnt work but luckily they had a desk setup for just such an occasion. I didnt realize Southern Decadence was going on, which caused a little more traffic than usual, but everything was fine overall.
The aesthetics are amazing. The acoustic is wonderful
Phenomenal to watch some of the biggest acts in a truly remarkable venue. Soundstage is dynamic. Much better than Smoothie Kind arena if you want to be close to the artist. Very clean facility and security was top notch. Definitely going back again to see another show.
The Fillmore is a large event space in New Orleans, mostly for concerts. The layout is pretty cool. There’s a bar and two sections for seating, located on either side of the main room. The sections fill up pretty quick, so I suggest getting there early or wearing comfortable shoes. Overall the building was very clean, security was kinda strict but did enforce Covid-19 restrictions.
Fantastic venue! Way bigger than I expected!! The staff were super friendly and helpful. The concert auditorium has seating and standing room. You can still see the stage well from the farthest point. Ill definitely be back.
Attended a comedy show here. The checking in process ran pretty decent, but the floor seating was uncomfortable. There are elevators instead of trekking up the steep stairs.. The folding chairs were placed entirely too close. Some people had to turn sideways to sit
Love the whole experience. Positive vibes only ✨️
Nice size space. Kinda an odd entry right on the street and with lots of stairs. Nice that you dont go through the casino.
I loved it there, but they should be more inclusive by providing a way (Electronic device or something) for the deaf/hearing impaired to understand better whats happening in the shows, like they do in most Broadway theaters. My husband is deaf/hearing impaired and could only enjoy about a 20% of the How did this get made show there.
Went and saw Andy Frasco then the Revivalists. Both were fantastic shows. High energy and entertaining. Its great when most of the crowd knows the words and sings along.The venue was great. The staff was very polite and helpful when we had questions.
Enjoyed the venue, not so much the performance being held there on Easter evening. Artist was extremely late and didnt realize I was paying to see a bunch of local artist. The show was mostly about them and Monica and Lyfe Jennings basically closed the show that was put on by the town
Amazing venue, it is a great mid sized venue so you can enjoy the show without feeling crammed in. The drinks were a bit pricey though, 16 for a double rum and coke. This is to be expected from a captive audience.The sound quality was great, there were no issues hearing and understanding the music.Every time I asked a question of a worker it was answered quickly and professionally.
Its almost too big for smaller acts. Regardless its made for moving lots of people in and out. Food options were barely noticeable but we got a decent bar burger and hung out in the lounge. The main floor was huge and the seating areas were NOT in a great location. VIP seats arent worth it. But the main floor is good for large groups, until they start dancing. The entire floor was bouncing during the whole event and if you are shorter than 6 foot theres no reason to go. The stage isnt high enough to compensate for the long sponge floor between the sound board and the stage. No photos cuz it was a secure event. If you love the band youll love the experience. If you dont love the band, dont go.
I attended The Struts concert, who never fail to impress!!! The show was originally scheduled at The House of Blues, but there was a change of Venue to the Fillmore. Some staff members working the show were HOB and some were with Fillmore. They were really friendly and organized. The physical premises are spacious. Be prepared for a flight of stairs.
Came to this venue to see Banks perform. This is one of the nicest venues Ive patronized and the sound quality was excellent. I would like to see additional shows here. Warning: You must walk up a lot of stairs to reach the venue. If you have accessibility issues, you may want to call the venue to know your options.
Great venue but no one mentioned that you cant bring ANY bag in. Apparently this includes my girlfriends purse so we had to walk 4 miles round trip to drop it off somewhere. Missed the first band. Not happy.
The venue has all the things you want in a venue when you come to jam. The sound is great, the entrance is smooth, and the size makes the show feel decently intimate. BUT the best part is HANDS DOWN a staff that genuinely cares about your well being and experience. Part way through the concert they started handing out cups of water. Ive been to a decent amount of venues, never and I mean NEVER have I experienced security and staff that seem to actually care that everyone is ok and having a great time. I will definitely be back and I give it all of my fullest recommendations. Pro tip if youre a come and wait for hours to be up front person, even if youre over 21, wait outside by the outside entrance, its a more direct route to the next waiting area.
Fantastic venue. Friendly staff, extremely clean and well kept(bathrooms especially). Drinks are expensive but I’ll blame that on livenation
Excellent music venue place to go for a concert. Just went see Shine Down may 7 Beautiful place inside great box seat and small 2200 capacity building. Up close experience with the band. Right next to Harrahs casino. Check it out youll definitely enjoy the experience
The Fillmore New Orleans was a great venue! Excellent acoustics, awesome (strong!) drinks, helpful and friendly staff and ushers. We had a great time and definitely plan to return!!
Great venue for concerts. Open floor plan and great staff. However I don’t understand why the shows lately have been 16 and up. Kind of takes away from it for me. Having drunk or high kids running around. Also it’s about 17-20$ a drink. So come prepared. I suggest going to the casino first playing the slots and drinking for free to pregame before the concert.
Saw the Avett Brothers here 2 nights in a row. Really enjoyed the venue, and the staff were exceptional accommodating in helping seat my mother who is handicapped. The food was pretty good, and we enjoyed the drinks as well. Look forward to seeing more shows here in the future.
I was there for a graduation. The venue is nice enough, but the difficulty required to park buffs off some of the shine. The staff are very helpful.
Had a blast at the parliament funkadelic concert
Although there is an elevator, you enter via a lot of steps. The floor seemed sticky even before the show started. Im not sure how clean the place was. Suggest they cut back on tickets sold or update AC. It was HOT.
The after party for Chewbacchus 2020 was held here. They inspected IDs and bags thoroughly for everyone outside. Then going in. That staircase had to go up at least 4 floors to get in. I do not know how the handicapped get in, it was not obvious. The drinks were way expensive in my opinion. The venue was great for dancing, and seats for those of us who wanted to sit. The seating did not seem to be handicapped accessible either. One queen kept going up the stairs and rode the rails back to the bottom and that was hilarious. Fun was had by all. The DJ kept mispronouncing the name of the parade, but no one seemed to care as they mispronounced it for hours.
I am a stickler for communication so it bothered me that out of all the emails and such sent to me to prepare me for my upcoming event, none of them mentioned anything about the venue not accepting cash. Card Only due to Covid. Ive been burned using my card at clubs/bars/events so I do cash. Ultimately, the situation was manageable as they did have option to put cash on a prepaid card for use at the bar. However, had this been made known ahead of time- the bartender wouldnt have gotten such a dirty look and my drink wouldnt have been sitting on the bar diluting while I waited in line for a card to use. Other than that and the fact that the concert headliner performed for only 40min (which isnt the fault of Fillmore), it was a nice time.
Love seeing shows here. Most recently saw Ministry/Gary Numan/Frontline Assembly and acoustics were excellent. Paid for seats and it was worth it.
In town and decided to catch a show at this venue. It blew me away walking in, and the line was quick and efficient. Ate food there, that was absolutely delicious. Sound quality was GREAT, and the live feed being ported to the main bar felt nice for when I was grabbing a drink inbetween bands and the next band started up.
Best venue in New Orleans, super clean, awesome sound system, lots of room, huge bathrooms, and good vibes
Was told I had to check my bag for $10. I could completely empty it and take everything with me in my pockets if I wanted but I couldn’t take the bag itself (and this was after I’d given them permission to search the entire thing). Everyone in there had lighters and were smoking anything that would catch fire but THANK GOODNESS my empty purse was locked up.
Staff are excellent in customer service and support. Personalized attention is noticeable. I cant say enough about the staff. If youre able to upgrade your ticket, I highly recommend doing that. Havent had a bad time there yet.
I accidently gave them a 1 star review (sorry for the added stress Fillmore) you all were great! My first timing seeing a band here and the seating was perfect, the food smelled good, staff was friendly and helpful, and bathrooms were clean. Cant really ask for more from a venue.
Amazing service, everyone was so polite helpful and went made sure our experience was great. The place is huge 3 bars, HUGE bathrooms, Decorated classy but yet still rock n roll. The music stage and seating were great and the Bands sounded killer.
Attended the Essence Welcome Affair on June 30 featuring artist Maya n Tank. The artist put on a great show.The restrooms were well kept with plenty of soap, toilet tissue n hand tissue.With the purchase of VIP seating I received drink tickets. I used one and my bestie used one. My bestie was told that she could not use her drink ticket. She went ahead and paid for her drink but that was completely unfair.
Witnessed the very first act to play in this concert hall. Very pleased with the venue. Beautiful interior with 4 amazing chandeliers. very spacious as well as intimate. Saw Foxing open for Coheed and Cambria and couldnt be happier with how it went. Very friendly service, and speedy lines at the bar. Full selection of Liquor and local bottled and draft beer, as well as small bites to eat. will be returning to see live music whenever possible!
It’s a great venue as far as size, you can stand stage right or left to get out easily, and still be up close. Be aware, the bartenders are not all the same. Different prices and differently made mixed drinks, depending on the bar you pony up to. The finger food is reasonably priced and tasty, for what it is. I did notice the floor gave a bit as we all jumped up and down during some songs. I’m no engineer, so perhaps that’s on purpose. Overall an enjoyable venue.
Was here seeing Teyana Taylor. Paid well over $100 a piece for several tickets, to stand in line for 2 hours OUTSIDE when the advertisement was for the show starting at 7 till not starting till after 9; arrived at 6 and wasn’t allowed to go in till 8. To going to what was the concessions stand for them to say they were sold out of everything (but the doors didn’t open til 8; this review was made at 8:40). If there is another event here I WILL NOT BE ATTENDING!!! I will try to catch it in a closet city. Mind you I drove from Mississippi just for this concert. Never again!!
Great venue for parties. Theres ample space for large gatherings and plenty of bar space with attentive staff. Acoustics are amazing at the multiple performance stages.
Saw the Avett Brothers here and this place is fantastic. The employees go out of their way to accommodate. Good acoustics as well. I will say the SRO area is quite large and the reserved seats are a good way back so SRO is really what I would recommend.
Make sure you go here for the Drag Diva Brunch show. Really a great time in New Orleans on a Sunday. We loved it. And they have different ones. I will definitely return next time I am in town. The food we amazing. It was a great value for a couple of hours in the summer heat. All you can eat and a amazing show for about 50 dollars is a steal. Make sure you check this out.
Please be keenly aware that the front row of seating is the last 20% of the theater at best. Do not pay for anything but general admission! We Will NOT come back to this theater, and we normally love to see live shows in many other theaters that we are happy to frequent. This one is not worth your time or money!!!
INCREDIBLE venue! Well laid out with plenty of bars, so you’re not standing in line forever.
A somewhat intimate venue with excellent acoustics & stellar seating. Concerts sound phenomenal and you can easily see the talent. A New Orleans staple.
I came here for a comedy show a few weeks ago. The space is really nice, and well configured for refreshments. There are also people who will walk the aisle with carts offering limited concessions, which was a bit unexpected.Just be aware that if you are going for an event like a comedy show, the orchestra area is filled with what are really basic unpadded plastic folding chairs. Theyre all level with one another, so if you are a short person you may have some challenges in seeing the stage. You will be better served spending a little extra for the gallery seats.Really nice, new addition of an event space to the city.
