Cool old venue, but got hot & stuffy real fast. Im 64 270 lbs so a very sweaty night 🌙

Show itself (jelly roll) was amazing. Staff needed to check crowd more carefully though.

Beautiful venue for concerts. The acoustics were amazing.

Show was awesome, but bathrooms were gross, they ran out of beer.....after standing in line for ever, no lights to see to get to seats....I asked security guard to help us find our seats...he says you go where you want....🤦🤦🤦🤦🤷🤷🤷🤷

Jelly roll tore it up. And really is a beautiful place

Its place and great music..

Great show, awesome architecture. HOWEVER, the air got hot, sweaty and real stinky FAST. no ventilation of any sort was a real killer.

Saw our favorite podcast live here the other day it was a great venue and a fantastic place to see a show. So many good seats! I really enjoy the decor and the atmosphere they provide is fantastic. The whole place is enormous and super cool. Look forward to next time!

Cool place for a dance recital! I dont give 5 starts on building that hold only small events. Seating an wall decor is all you get rated for.

Saw Jellyroll in concert here and it was amazing!!

Its an OK venue. Not that pleasurable of an experience. I checked the website ahead of time and saw that the venue has limited parking. We arrived about 10 minutes prior to the doors opening and all the spaces were taken. We ended up parking in the Childrens Museum parking lot, that was about a 5 minute walk to the venue. Upon arrival we were checked for age and had bracelets put on very tight. We made it through security check point within a few minutes and then purchased two drinks. Before finding our seats, we used the restrooms. The womens room had used tampons and applicators shoved in a vent above the toilet, GROSS!The show was good but the sound had constant feedback.After the show we were walking through the venue and saw an opportunity to step aside from the flow of people to put on our jackets before stepping out for our walk back to our vehicle. We we instantly YELLED at for stopping in front of a door. We were obviously just putting on our coats. This left me with a bad opinion of the venue and will not purchase tickets for any other events offered. Ill travel to Detroit before going to this place again.In short. Terrible parking, disgusting restrooms and terrible hospitality.

A hidden Cleveland gem! Historically, the Cleveland Orchestra recorded albums in the hall, today the hall is a shadow of its original grandeur. In need of a loving, deep pocketed donor at least this is in use still

Incredible venue! Been to three shows there this winter. Happy to call this a regular concert home in Cleveland.

We went to festival sponsored by Cleveland Police. It very good well orchestrated. I would return next year.

Beautiful building. I was worried about it being too hot from reviews that Id read but the temperature was fine. We were there to see a comedian.

Nice venue for live performance. Great sound. Mezzanine level of seating have comfy seats but not much leg room. Would attend another show at this venue for sure.

It was an amazing venue.

The acoustics alone make it stand out as one of the best music venues in Ohio. The seating is comfortable, the dance floor is pretty spacious, and its a beautiful and well maintained historic building.

I cant wait to attend a concert there. Do they give tours or hold masonic services there?

Amazing time at the concert Elle king

Hard to find parking but if you can sneak into the hotel across the street youre good

Venue was fantastic. Great seating. Excellent people working the event. Only minor drawback is the parking in the area is a little random but considering its not such a large venue it worked out fine. Will look for events held there, in the future.

Excision Cleveland Masonic theater 2/27/19One of the best indoor venues ive ever been too

Such a cool place!

Great venue for a comedy show. We upgraded to VIP and it was well worth it. Originally had balcony seats and my teen on crutches would have never made it up to our seats. With upgrade we got a table for 4 very near the stage, waiter to bring drinks, and a bathroom steps away. Its a smaller place so it was loud, I can see where it would not be the best for a rock show.

This was a hidden secret to me in Cleveland! My boyfriend and I went to see Tom Segura here back in February. Ticketmaster had listed the incorrect time so we were in line outside for around an hour before we were able to enter. Being February, it was freezing! No fault of the Masonic though and once they opened the doors we got inside quickly where it was nice and warm. It is a smaller venue, but that’s great because I don’t think there would be a bad seat anywhere! We sat to the right of the stage and while the seats are small, it was a great location! I’m curious how the sound would be for a concert, but for a comedian this was an excellent venue.

Beautiful venue! The only complaint is its very warm in there.

Ok so I sit here 60 min too early for the show. My Live Nation ticket says show at 7pm that’s it. We and many others get here around 630 to park...almost nothing available close by. Then we have to line up outside. No one knows why. They opened the doors at 7. Why was that not on the tickets? Not Masonic’s fault really and as I sit here with google their site gives details of doors at 7 and show at 8. No link between Live Nation and Masonic info. So what to do. Eat and drink. No way. Horrible cold breaded chicken patty sandwich or dead hot dogs. Really? Wine in a can. Really. Venue has cleaned up with paint etc since last here but you really need a serious food and liquor upgrade. Really shameful especially seeing a world class band like Snarky Puppy. Cleveland we have a long way to go.

An interesting and unique venue. The seating is ok, a bit small. Sound is great. Architecture is interesting as it is an older building. Parking is an issue.

Place was nice inside. Staff was great. Show was worth every penny spent. Concessions was overpriced garbage, bought cheap and sold at a ridiculous mark up. Not going back if I can avoid it.

LiveNation concert. 👎 Long line outside as they did not open doors until time on ticket. No parking across the street and no signs directing us to lot. Food? Breaded chicken microwaved sandwich, hot dog, chips . Wine in a can. Someone had same seat on his ticket as mine. ?? Usher no help. Apparently seats have same numbers on both sides of aisle. Does not make sense but usher should have known how to help. Weird disappointing experience before music even started.

Mott the Hoople show. Great venue! Old school vibe. 💜

Awesome concert

Pretty cool venue! My first time ever there. Saw Band of Horses and will be back next week to see Henry Rollins! Glad to have finally been there!

Awesome 👍

Very nice place. Seating was comfortable and reasonable with elbow room.

Now I know what sardines feel like, the guy who designed the seating in there must of been 3 ft tall. Absolutely no leg or elbow room. The place is beautiful inside except for all the dust on the woodwork. Sound quality and viewing excellent.

Great concert! Staff slightly unorganized with checking tickets and IDs... Clean and nice facility.

Great sound for live music, large area, but awful crowded seating.

Loved the acoustics great venue

Went to see the Alan Cox Comedy Tour. The building was beautiful. It has been some years since I have been to this venue, but it was recently restored and they did a great job. The sound quality was on point. The seats were comfortable enough for a 2 hour show. The bar was quite expensive, but I think that was a contracted vendor, not associated with the venue. Overall we had a great night out.

Jelly rocked out

Easily one of the worst Cleveland venues. Tickets have assigned seating until you get there and then its a free for all. So expect to have much worse seats than what you paid for. Want a drink? The bar is a few tables with some alcohol strewn about. Have a hankering for something cold? Too bad. Most likely they havent organized well enough to restock in time so none of it is cold. Hope you like heinously overpriced liquor. They closed the parking lot off even though it had almost no cars. Cash only. Sound would be ok for speaking... maybe. What might be the worst part is the wasted potwntial. Severely disappointed.

Great venue for both concerts and flea markets.

The auditorium itself is quite lovely. However, the building could use some updates. Id start with bathrooms. There were only 2 womens restrooms available for an entire theater full of people. For the duration of the event, the line for the restroom was out the door and down the hallway. To compound the issue, 2 of the stalls in the upstairs restroom were out of order.We were seated in the balcony which affords a great view of the entire space. I highly recommend balcony seating - with the caveat that you are sure-footed in the dark. There is no hand rail on the stairs leading to the upper tier, and no lighting to guide the way either. Proceed with caution!TL;DR Nice place, but pee first and bring a flashlight.

Excellent live music venue. All seats are great. The new PA sounds awesome

Had an excellent show here! Low key venue. Larger than I expected. Had a couple different places set up serving drinks. +1 for that. Not the newest, or cleanest place. But it has history and Im into it!

I was amazed I have never been there before and it was a beautiful Auditorium. I will definitely go back! Everything was clean and nice the prices were a little high for the drinks but other than that it was a great time.

Great venue. The GA floor wasnt over sold so there was plenty of room to move around and allowed beer and bathroom breaks that only took a minute. The hallways were spacious. Bars were easy to get to. A great venue to see a show!

Parking was difficult to find for the venue and a bit expensive. No places within a close walking distance to eat other than a subway place.

Just attended a concert here. Easy to get to and parking right across the street. No problems or hold ups getting in. The venue itself was very nice and the sound was excellent. Would definitely attend another concert here.

No air conditioning and very cramped seats and rows. The comedy show was great though.

Beautiful venue. My first time there. Great atmosphere. Not a bad seat in the house! Highly recommend seeing a show here.

What makes this venue great are the acts themselves and the acoustics which are pretty nice when the sound guy gets it right. Seating is very comfortable, and there arent many bad seats in the house although you dont want to be in the mezzanines that are closest to the stage. Arrive early to find a parking lot, and you probably will have to walk a ways. Would give this place five stars but there are some major detractions. First there is no air conditioning. They are attempting to cool the place by opening the side doors before, during intermission, and after the show. But on a night when it was in the 70s outside, the auditorium was like a steam room. Secondly, there are no ushers actively engaging with the people that are attending the show. My husband and I walked in and attempted to find our seats, but the labeling is so difficult to see at times we werent even sure which section we were in and actually ended up sitting in the wrong seats for a time. Thirdly, I dont know whos in charge of the information that is put on tickets, but generally the time thats on the ticket is the time the show starts. For the first time ever in all my years of attending concerts, I had a ticket that said 6:30 and the show wasnt scheduled to start until 7:35. So my husband and I left work early, battled crazy traffic in order to make it to the auditorium by 6:10, and then we found out the show was not scheduled to start until 7:35. Ridiculous. Inexcusable. When others found out as well they were very angry. We all could have had dinner after work and then come to the show. The lesson here is call in advance and check the time-- at least with this venue. Im sure there will be many people who will not be back. We might be, but its got to be a really good act.

Beautifully restored venue. Havent been there in 10 years, but the new facility is fantastic! Lots of parking nearby so no need to pay for parking. The auditorium is wonderful. Not a bad seat in the house. For shows that dont draw a huge crowd this is the place to see them. Drink lines moved quickly and prices were average compared to most venues of similar size.

Good place for a concert acoustically. Dont expect to be super comfortable. You can tell the building was constructed in the 1930s; the seats were pretty narrow and rows spaced close enough together I couldnt sit with my feet flat on the floor.

Classy old school style theater

Amazing and beautiful. Great place for concerts, but the real beauty is with the Masonic history kept there. A must visit for all Masons who call Cleveland home and visitors to the city too.

Very impressed. Appears to be recently restored and really nice. It did not seem like there would be a bad seat in the house. Intimate concert venue.

We drove from the suburbs of Detroit down to Cleveland for the Hanson String Theory show. This was my first time visiting Cleveland Masonic. We had bought tickets in the 2nd row. When we got there, we were able to find parking down the street a little bit. The venue itself was beautiful! It was on the smaller side but it allowed for a much more intimate experience. The acoustics were great! They also sold alcohol at this particular show. It was definitely a great evening!

Doesnt understand what gen admission means. I bought 2 general admission tickets. Were listed as best available and were in balcony & same price as general admission mezzanine & floor. So Im sitting in balcony and noticed barely anyone on floor & saw a sign that indicated I could upgrade my ticket. So I ask about that and was told I could upgrade my balcony ticket for a floor ticket for $200. Not a typo....$200 for a ticket that originally costs $35 to access an area that is 1/4 full.

Its really nice. The renovations have maintained the original integrity of the place. We were in the Mezzanine and we saw everything very well. The seats are on the smaller side and very close to one another, but comfortable.

Got to see Norm MacDonald liveit was great. Except Im pretty sure the venue didnt have air-conditioning it was really hot

Fabulous sound... Great view from up top... Seating assignment is irrelevant, though (no one follows it because its poorly labeled).

Great venue. Very beautiful inside. Outside, youd drive right by it thinking it was just another Cleveland building. Not a whole lot to differentiate it as a venue from the outside. But it was very nice inside. The seating layout and numbering was next to impossible to figure out. Some seats didnt have numbers or letters.

The seats are terrible. If you are over 55 or a bigger person than you cannot fit in these seats. I am 62 about 210 and i was spread eagle with the other person next to me. We touched knees the entire show. My one friend is 66 about 350lbs and he traded with a guy on the end so his legs could rest in the walkway. And no air conditioning. Everyone was sweating on each other

Great venue, sound is excellent. Saw Cody Jinks. Great old.building, love the architecture.

Cool venue, amazing acoustics. Old place so the seats are made for short people. If youre over 6 buy general admission standing room floor tickets.

Sorry to see this place close

This isnt really a bad concert hall considering its unassuming appear from the outside. Small seating in narrow rows makes things a little uncomfortable. Sound was excellent. Nothing overwhelming about the interior but having read other reviews its seems as though theyve made improvements. Took an hour to get home due to weather and my ears still hurt.

Holy smokes this venue is awesome! The pit is massive and there is plenty of elevated seating behind the pit. Accoustics is insane, the place is loud and sounds great. I really wish more artist booked here instead of House of Blues. So much more room for viewers and the stage is huge for artist. Will certainly be going back whenever I can!

Great acoustics and the architecture of thr building is amazing. Seen the Pink Floyd tribute band Wish You Were Here, and they were great. As for some of the others in attendance, why must you carry on a conversation during a concert? The most annoying thing ever.

Decent venue. Really depends on the show in my opinion. It was really clean. Staff was friendly. The sections could be marked a little better. Seats are a tad tight but had a great time.

Mezz G Row A, people were constantly walking through. Awesome acoustics and wonderful show though!

I was here for a rock show 🤘The venue is beautiful. The staff was nice. The sounds was decent given I was not centered in the room. We had general admission in the Mezenine level. Getting there early put us in the front row with a table like thing in front of us. Cheap VIP!To quote a former governor, Ill be back.

Parking is a joke..then its way to loud ..and we bought seat tickets to get there and you sit anywhere which the show was sold out and know where to sit. We will never go there again. And thank goodness my car was not towed which everyone was also worried

Lack luster. Not enough parking. Bathrooms during concert were horrendous. However concert was amazing and sound was very good.

Had a great time, seen a comedy show that was really good.

This venue might have the best sound and sightlines of all live music venues in Cleveland. A recent renovation has made this place an absolute joy to see a show at. Outstanding staff and decent drink selection, as well.

Nice old building. Lot of history. My first time but will not be my last. Did not go into upper balcony but cant imagine there is a bad seat here

We were at a concert. The sound system was worse than bad. Good thing our tickets were free. It was disappointing. Its a neat place and seating was great but we probably wont go back for a concert unless we hear the sound system has been replaced. Its too bad, I liked the place.

Amazing auditorium.Sound quality not that good on my visit.Great helpful staff.Parking poorly organized and executed, one small lot available?Would probably not come back for a musical event.

Had precision competition we were in the basement wooden chairs that hurt and were probably 50 years old. Bathrooms ran out of toilet paper and paper towels and were not refilled. No concessions. Not a very nice place.

Nice place to see a show. Air conditioning would help. But great venue.

AMAZING!

I wasnt sure what to expect from this venue but they delivered! It is an older building with some character - beautiful architecture and detailing, but missing some of the amenities a modern concert goer is used to. We upgraded our tickets ( not cheap!) And got access to a private bathroom and a waiter which was great! The room has an intimate feel to it - fantastic for a comedy show! But getting in was a pain. Standing in the cold for awhile waiting for the line to move past two security people. Overall though we had a great time!

Went to see Clutch NYE 18 here. Beautiful place, lots of history. Im curious to see how they progress with the show offerings.

This has to be the absolute best place to watch a concert or any other event for that matter. Free parking, beautiful building, ease of access and most of all the sound there is incredible. A few great drinks, a bite to eat and great music. Cant wait till the next concert at the Masonic Auditorium.

Fantastic place for a concert, wouldve liked to have some food, but no luck. Limited parking also.

Beautiful building! Intimate, great place to see a show!! Had a great time!

Very cool looking venue. It has been recently renovated but still retains its classic look and architecture. Used for not only meetings but also for concerts. Recently was at the govt mule show there and the sound quality was good. The theater itself is great, with hardwood floors, a ga standing floor area and seats behind. Would recommend this venue .

This place is amazing...went to see Clutch there.. we had a great time

Amazing venue. I saw MGMT tonight and every seat there was an amazing view. 10/10

Great working with Shari on my daughters wedding. She is so helpful.

Cozy theater. Saw comedian Tom Segura there. Folding chair seating but not too crowded. Several bars open to keep they lines short, that was good. They only issue I had had nothing to do with the theater, its just that there is nothing around it if you want to take public transportation or Uber there and get a drink or food before the show.

Pink Floyd tribute band was awesome. First time hearing it live and I loved it.

First time at this venue. Amazing place. Would be fun to see a music concert here.

The lines are super slow, the venue is very nice though.

First off, I go to a lot of concerts at many local venues. This is a nice, older venue but it is sooooo loud. I need to pack ear plugs for next time. :(

Nice place for a concert, except that the acoustics in the balcony seem quite muddy. The audio was fine on the first level of seats. Plenty of parking nearby.Also when the concert is over, this building empties out very quickly. This may not be that important to some people, but I hate that shuffling-along-like-cattle, crowded claustrophobic slow marching exit thing. I have enough trouble already waiting in the grocery check out line, much less pressed shoulder-to-shoulder with a bunch of drunken, smelly sweaty people. So thats a bonus.
