So disappointed in the sound tonight at the Theresa Caputo show! I’m a huge fan and have seen her in person before and it was great! I drove almost 4 hrs, had seats in 4th row, took time off work and spent plenty on gas, tickets, hotel room and could not understand her because the face mask muffled everything. I understand the reason her and audience members are wearing the mask but the sound crew should hold the microphone as no one she read held it close enough to hear what they were saying. If we have to keep wearing these masks in public they had better design a sound system to accommodate them. I was not alone as those close by commented they couldn’t understand anyone talking either. The venue was nice, staff was great, facilities very clean and comfortable but the experience was so disappointing all because of the poor sound.

Very nice theater. Lots of people to help you. Not price gouging on drinks. Very helpful that the city parking ramp is accross the street. It was a great experience!

Always an enjoyable place to listen to the sounds of the QC symphony, watch the ballet or view a traveling show. Very friendly staff and clean. Bonus to be able to take food and drink into the theater with you!

Dwight Yoakam and his band were amazing. The Adler is a great venue.

Terrible experience at this venue. Turned up at the time printed on my tickets and re-emphasized multiple times by TicketMaster. The venue had decided to start the event 90 minutes earlier. TicketMaster says that the venue has disallowed refunds. If the event was going to start earlier, it really should have been communicated via TicketMaster, rather than a personal email that was bound to go straight to spam filter.

Theresa Cupota was amazing! Theater need to revamp and make more leg space, very cramped

Had a great time attending an event that included appropriate security and pleasant usher staff support. Thank you for a great evening!

Great venue for a performance. Clean bathrooms! Very helpful staff. I would go again in a heartbeat!

Absolutely an awesome venue! Davenport is a very nice city, lots to do and see! The people at the Adler are wonderful, very helpful and friendly! My thanks to Nick, Doug and the IATSE crew for all their hard work! Looking forward to going back some day!

Attended the Rocky Mountain High Experience... John Denver tribute concert... wonderful event

Love going here. Good shows and good service. Prices arent bad.

Bezides the loud drunk men in front of us, the Gordon Lightfoot show was enjoyable and its a great historical venue

Great staff and service. Seating is abysmal for taller people but made up for such a great venue.

Very clean customer service was good I was even told see you next time upon leaving

DWIGHT STILL SINGING GREAT!GREAT SHOW!

The sound in the Adler is horrible. Ive attended several events in the theater and its been awful every time. The worst is during Miss Iowa. The contestants cant hear themselves and this creates a huge disadvantage to the singers. Im disappointed every time I see that a performer I like is scheduled at this venue because I know the sound will be bad. Not worth the money.

Went to Gordon Lightfoot concert.Great place to go to a concert.

Wonderful friendly staff very clean great show!

Very polite staff, and great concert.

Nice theatre for a show. Good refreshments.

Great acoustic sounds and a great time.

Enjoyed the Gordon Lightfoot concert

Great show, fun venue, helpful staff

Great show for a packed theater!

Great Old theater with a great sound !!!

Sooooo rundown... carpet and chairs. People were actually smoking inside the theater during the show. SECURITY!!!!!

Nice old theater.

Beautiful place!

ZZ TOP & KRIS LAGER BANG

Love this venue, please please please, more rock concerts!!!

I have attended many concerts at the Adler. The sound and lightning have always been good. Its a little crowded in the lobby sometimes. The seating is just okay, but the views from any seat are good... even the back row or balcony. I like the venue overall, and they get quite good, but less expensive acts.

Great venue, super concert

I hate to go negative on “local” because I believe in local. Local Local Local – YES!!! But his insanity called the Adler Theater has to stop.What brings people to fill this 2,000 seat auditorium? Talent of course. But are the people repeat visitors? It CAN’T BE! Why would people put themselves through the pain, agony, and emotional distress caused by a horrible sound system and microscopic seats?In 2006 I first visited the Adler with some good friends who had helped me out of a bad personal situation. In appreciation I spent a ton of money on 10th row seats for a comedy event. You couldn’t hear the comedians! From less than 30 ft away we saw lips move and couldn’t hear a thing. My group, along with 20-30 other people, stood at the rear of the theater to hear the show. Later that night, in my new home, I emotionally broke down over my failure to repay my friends.In the 13 years since I attended two shows both times sitting in the upper balcony. The comedians were world class and the laughter overcame the horrible leg cramps created by the playschool-sized seats.The last straw was earlier this year. Over a period of many months my wife secretly saved hundreds of dollars and purchased tickets to a blues guitar player I discovered on YouTube: Joe Bonamassa. You see she has health issues and knew when I listened to his music it took me away from the trials and tribulations of this world, if only for a moment. To date, attending the at the Adler Theater show is an emotional low point in my life.Our tickets were extremely expensive and located at the rear of the theater somewhere near row Z of section C. I cannot understate the size of the seat. I could not put my legs together because of the proximity of the chair back in front of me. Once Joe came out to play all we heard was noise. Just noise. As the show progressed my legs started to hurt but I could start to hear the music so it was ok. Then you couldn’t hear the background singers. Then all you heard was noise. He spoke to the audience, we heard that. Then the music started, just more noise. 45 minutes into the show my legs hurt so bad I was crying. That’s when we had to leave.I cried all the way home. It was the emotional equivalent of being told your going to Disneyland and then the taxi drops you off in Sheboygan on a snowy day.This insanity called the Adler Theater HAS TO STOP!Ron

Good concert

Great show but no one is comfy in there. Your knees are crammed tight, into the seat in front of u. I am 57 and my knees where embedded!!! And u cant breathe without touching the person on each side of u!! Things have changed and we all go to the movie in recliners... If u just changed the chairs it would make a huge difference. Last time I took my whole family. No one wanted to go last night because they where so miserable as they sat and tried to enjoy the show! So I went by myself and a girl friend and she said the same thing.. her family would not have enjoyed it because of the seats. The staff was awesome!! The place is nice and warm and clean!! The shows always rock.. but will not be my pick for a long time as it is such a long show when we r all so uncomfortable!

I really dont think there is a bad seat in the place! Staff is great. Very clean. The acoustics are fantastic. Drinks, soda, water, candy and popcorn are available.

Historic theater with a great feel

Very cool venue! Havent been here before but am going to take advantage more often. Restroom location is my only gripe but there isnt much to do to change that. If you get a chance to see a band or artist here I would recommend giving the place a try, I think you will like it!

Easy to walk in an out of. Comfortable. Great for older people. Easy to find your seats. They have beer an 🍿. I like this place

Staff are fantastic. The venue is fantastic. A little small, but its the ONLY venue in the country that WELCOMES food and drinks inside the theater (seating area)

The Jersey boys show was great, but the handicapped seating was not good at all. Not much room for people behind you. I sat in isle so person behind me could see and where they sit you, you couldnt see the whole stage.

Saw The Texas Tenors tonite.. The Adler had a buffet before the show which was insanely delicious. The Texas Tenors were absolutely awesome. Will go again if they bring in a show as great as The Texas Tenors..

Opening act was meh

Very nice historic venue. Good shows but a little overpriced.

Here for the Wizard of Oz which is amazing Id give that 10 stars. The theater is not bad but it needs renovating. I am 6 foot and my knees are in the rails the whole night. Im not saying I wouldnt come again but I need to check everywhere before I leave because the small seating area is really hard on tall people for two plus hours.

Fun place to take in a show. Seating could be a little more comfortable, but overall its a great venue!

I have always enjoyed performances at the Adler. Its not as large as some venues, but the seating and views are still great. My only advice is go for an aisle (or front row) seat if you are taller than about 61 or 62. There is a decent variety of snacks, etc available as well as a cash bar for most larger shows. Go check it out! Broadway in the QC!

I have great memories at the Adler Theater. It was exciting to get dressed up and go to a play such as The Nutcracker which my Mother loved so much when she was alive. I was also a very proud Mother watching my Daughter play her trumpet and other events she participated in. The Adler Theater is historical, great service and all around a place to visit in Davenport.

Beautiful old theater. We went to the Nutcracker. It was a wonderful production

The art deco design. Went for Chicago concert. Well organised.

Great venue. The staff is friendly and very helpful which makes events that much more enjoyable.

Its beautiful but the chair rows are too close together, no leg room.

Lovely venerable venue! Good sound quality to attend a symphony event.

The Adler Theatre is the BEST music venue in the Quad Cities.I have seen Kansas, The Beach Boys, John Mellencamp, Chicago, and ZZ Top all at the Adler Theatre. I am addicted to this venue. I have tickets to see Alice Cooper, Foreigner, and Kansas (2nd time) this year at the Adler Theatre.

Enjoy this small venue

I really enjoy the old time theater feeling. Its a nice time each time I go.

We had front row seats for the Gaither Vocal Band on Nov 10, 2018. Seats were very good, albeit the added front row seats were a little tight. My husband used the restroom, when he told me the amount of stairs I would encounter I knew I had no choice but to not drink any beverages and hold it. I wear a brace on each leg which have my my ankles stationary. I also recently had hip surgery, the two making stairs out of the question for me. That was my only frustration with an otherwise amazing event in a beautiful facility.

Very 1920s. Went there for a showchoir compitition and it was breath taking

I like that its a smaller more intimate setting!

Excellent place, friendly staff

Every thing Ive seen here is good... great venue

Performance was great, staff was great - the seating is aweful unless your 5 150#s. Extremely crowded anf small.

Great venue! Seats werent built for fat or tall people. Or tall fat people. But it wasnt distracting at all because the shows Ive attended kept my attention!

Great show...helpful attendants...too warm for comfort

Pretty awesome old theater. Jerry Seinfeld was funny as all get out!

Would not go back to any event again. Disabled and too many steps, no security at entry and usher told my guest not to put her bad leg over the top of chair in us all nite.front of us and proceeded to watch us all nite.

Any Broadway production shown here is worth going to see. We could not find the bathroom. Grabbing a drink at intermission is nice as well.

Beautiful place for watching live concert sound quality is also too good

Great view but the seats leave little leg room. My larger friends found them slightly shorter than they would have liked.

Nice place. Only theater where food and drinks are welcome.

Love the history here!! Waiting for show to start.

Lovely venue for the QC Symphony.

Great venue to see a concert. Attached hotel.

For the price, their seats should accommodate people with long legs or broad hips better. Id love to go to more events, but am so sore from being confined to no moving room for my legs!

Went to see Jersey boys! Great play!

Nice theater, nice staff, but I could use more legroom.

Set in the upper Balcony at the Vince Gill Concert, 8-14-2019 Sound System was horrible, could not hear Vince Talking Only heard mumbling from him And laughter from who ever was hearing him talking, I Assume From the lower floor, don’t know what they were laughing at,, The band was drowning out the vocals, I Love Vince Gill, Saw Him DesMoines And It was Awesome, Will Never Come Back Here, drove over 2 hrs, total disappointment, No PA System in the balacony At all, only floor sound I Assume from Vince’s Equipment, I Assume directed at the Floor ! I’ve been to many Theaters, never one this bad as far as sound is concerned, Maybe the floor seats were OK, wasn’t down there so I have no idea !

Great old theater with all kinds of shows.

Went to The Texas Tenors..Great Show!

Beautiful theater, nice staff and great shows.

Beautiful interior. A great place to see a show. Friendly staff and easy entrances.

Beautiful and historic theater, I love the high seating

Was there on two occasions, nice historical theatre in downtown

Quad City Symphony Orchestra presents Harry Potter and the Sorcerers Stone. The live music was excellent.

Formerly an RKO theater. This historic place had a complete restoration a few years ago. Substantial modernizations were made to the stage house. The theater is now able to meet the needs of traveling productions from Broadway.

Beautiful theater Great landmark

Such a great venue and the Nutcracker was excellant!

Clean, staggered seats and nice employees.

Here for Wizard of Oz. I am 54 and my knees didnt fit in seating. They had to go off to the side in uncomfortable position. Two people next to us left at intermission because discomfort. I was able sit with one knee each way then.

Beautiful place to go and watch concerts.

Was there for a dance competition and nothing was horrible

Great place for concerts and nice sound.

Clean and safe

Cramped seats very un comfortable

They have great concerts.

Awesome venue and atmosphere for any event

Texas tenors concert great show

Nice place but for a concert theres only one way in and one way out. Not big enough for big concerts.

NICE!

Good theatre space!
