Golden State Theatre 417 Alvarado Street, Monterey, CA 93940

"We love this old-school theater. The ornate decor and even the vintage bathrooms hearken back to different time, elegant and fun. We've seen two live shows here now and only have two small quibbles: the front five rows at our showing used folding chairs. There is some padding, yes, but they were uncomfortable after about 45 minutes. Also, we were there for comedy shows and at times the volume levels were ear-splitting. I experienced some temporary hearing loss for a few days after the show."

"We saw Pink Martini and despite our seats in the last row, we could see and hear beautifully. Getting in and out to our seats was easy. The staff was helpful and fellow patrons were polite. All in all, it was a lovely night."

"This is a fantastic venue that features great acoustics. The staff was super friendly. The seats were comfortable and , as they say, there isn’t a bad one in the house. I only had one beer though as they were $17.50!"

"#imomsohard was great! Drink prices were to high Bobby Bones comedy show was great! The family had a good time. Enjoyed the meet and greet too"

"This venue is beautiful inside but there is a distinct musty smell. The sound was muddy with bad and drums taking over the mix. Nice intimate size."
