"I love this venue. Can't remember how many shows I have seen here over the years. Most recently saw Brian Culbertson who put on an outstanding show!"
"Historic cozy vibes. Great venue… except the first row of the balcony (Pictures from Row A). We had most of the stage blocked and had to bob and weave to see around the people in the random row in front of us."
"Best venue for music!! Not a bad seat in the house! Drove through the blizzard to make it last night! They had the whole place open to walk and view before and after the show! Took our kids for their first concert! They loved seeing the Hoyt Sherman building and the concert! Best place for concerts! The employees working there are amazing too!! You ever get the chance to see a concert there.. DO IT!!"
"I went to Hoyt for a comedy tour show. It was my first one. I absolutely loved this building and it's charm. I would love to know more history on it. It's set up like an old art gallery in the lobby areas. There was plenty of seating. I also kinda liked how small it was because even if you bought a ticket in the last row, you really aren't that far away. There were staff at almost every entrance so if you couldn't find your seat using they're very simple signs, someone was there to help. We got there early, so parking was no issue. They did have a bar set up in the main lobby. Drinks were as expected, pricey. Overall I would see more shows here in the future"
"Beautiful setting for intimate concerts. Seats 1200, all seats are good for seeing stage, only a few in the first five or so rows of balcony with some sight issues. Sound and ambiance were perfect for a night with Sreve Hackett and his band."
