This is the first time I and my 9 year old son have been to the Fillmore. It is absolutely beautiful inside. We went to a concert and watched the bands Dizzy and City and Colour. The staff were polite and helpful. The bathrooms were maintained by staff throughout the show. Drinks were extremely expensive, but thats expected. The only downside was having no food options. They had nothing. No vending machines for small items like a bag of chips or M&Ms. Maybe thats how its always been...Im honestly not sure. So because of that, I still would rate our overall experience 5 stars.

Love this place. Would go there when I was younger for shows too! It was the State Theater at that time!! Mainly had main floor. But had the seats up top one time. Never a bad spot.

The venue is always amazing, looks incredible and is always clean (before the show ends 😜). The staff is friendly and the shows they put on are absolutely killer. Was at the Pure Noise Tour 2021 and it was an absolute blast

Wow, historic and awesome venue! I was impressed with how well maintained this beautiful theater is! Like a 5/8s or 3/4s size Fox theater. Good times!

This was the best comedy show I have ever experienced. It was worth the covid test in what appeared to be a garage. It was worth the long wait for the first show to be over. Dave is the KING OF COMEDY. Im glad I got to attend.

A lovely spot. The seats are a little cramped, but theyre actually rather comfortable. Drink queues are much shorter upstairs than they are downstairs.

This is one of my favorite venues in Michigan. Had already bought tickets to 3 different shows in 2020 (that of course the pandemic derailed). I honestly cannot wait until were able to see live music again and I can be at The Fillmore enjoying a drink and some good music. Every experience Ive had here to date has been positive. The staff had always been nice and the establishment clean. Come on live music in 2021!!! 😂

This venue gets five stars. Ive never been to a venue where I didnt have to wait for a beer or in line at a bathroom. Great views from anywhere in the house. Hope to see more bands here someday!

What a place to see in your teens/early 20s the architecture takes your breath away. Was very lucky to experience concerts here late 90s 2000s era highly recommended piece of Detroit history

Amazing Theatre, Victorian decor. Comfortable seats and nice bar/food. The staff was friendly.The building is old and it shows little bit.Plenty of parking nearby, all paid- parking garage, street parking.Went there for the 90s music concert. They started really late, 2 hours. But they were good. The sound/acoustics was decent but not all that great.Entrance is off of Woodward and the line gets really long but moves super quick as the have several security check lines.They have multiple drink/bar also some snack bar both in main level and mezzanine. The restrooms are in the basement though.The box chairs were little less comfortable compared to the general admission chairs. Funny.I would like to go when the construction is done and for a better show.

I love coming to this venue. Staff are so polite and accommodating. Got an instant VIP upgrade. Free would have been nice but I had to pay. Still a decent price. Our server Tatiana was awesome, as well. Cant say enough about her. All staff that I passed on the way out said thanks for coming and to have a great night. They should be commended for that. You just dont get that anymore. Thanks for everything.

What a fab locale for a concert! We had a great time! The performer we saw was petite in stature, so we purchased balcony seats...perfect! Feels like you are back in time with the decor, as you experience a modern day band! Cool indeed. Buy your tickets today! Enjoy!

We arrived an hour early and was told we had to walk to another location to get a rapid covid test. I have copd and the walk was a long ways away and b the weather extremely hot. When we got to the location we had to stand in a long line outside in the hot heat. We when we got inside everything was in chaos, no organization. By the time we got back to the Fillmore the first two comedians were just finishing up. Nothing on the site said anything about coming testing. Tho the marquee said covid testing inside the theater. Theyre were people on canes barley making it.It just was unorganized. We were very disappointed and angry, by the time we got in the theater we were ringing wet with sweat. Please do better

What a cool venue! Beautiful space. It’s very well laid out. Everything is clean and well kept, even the bathrooms! The staff was terrific. The house sound is totally decent. I’ll definitely be back for more shows!

One of my favorite venues in town. Its in a nice area right near Comerica and the Fox. Its got plenty of parking and the venue itself is beautiful inside. Ive sat way up top but the main floor is the best place to be here. Tons of spots for drinks/food. Make sure you take a look up before your show starts and take in all the amazing details. The sound is top notch and the staff have never been anything short of amazing!

Saw Above & Beyond here in October 2019. My first ever EDM show. It was amazing and so was the venue! Its so beautiful inside. The parking doesnt look promising near this venue so I would recommend using Uber or another transport service if you can - especially if you have any physical challenges to deal with. I did see someone in a wheelchair and we all seemed to be having a great time. I just wouldnt advise trying to find parking. They have a coat check that is cash only, and expect to pay handsomely for alcoholic beverages. Once you enter, you cannot leave, but if you smoke they have a special area outside where you can enter and exit for a smoke break. As far as the venue is concerned the temperature was perfect - and I get cold all the time. The staff was awesome and offered quick service. Overall it was a great experience to visit this place! High class enough for the ballet as much as it is for a musically oriented concert!!

Went there to see deadmau5 and the experience was pretty awesome. We had floor tickets and were able to see the stage very up close! there were no seats so there was a lot of room to dance and stand. The is a big bar there serving drinks very quickly and price was around $10 for a big beer which is affordable. The only thing I can complain a bit are that restrooms were outside of the floor area and yo had to go down some stairs to go there and once you wanted to re-enter the floor area you had to show the ticket again to the person controlling who enters the floor area every time. Entry to the venue was very quick and simple.

Definitely a great place to see your favorite bands. If you dont like the crowds that arenas draw, or the limitations of bar-like venues, this place is great for you. Its similar to The Fox Theatre, but you dont have to worry about finding seats on the main floor!

I hadnt been to the Fillmore in a long time but its a beautiful venue for concerts and shows. They are well know for having top name artists and talent regularly. My sisters and I saw Dave Chapelle here recently and our seats were good, the service excellent and the show was okay too. I would recommend the Fillmore as a great place to go out and enjoy yourself on a date or as a group. Its a Detroit gem and the architecture is outstanding.

Do you want to Fill More in Detroit? Then youll love this place! Awesome concert venue! There architecture is amazing. The venue is set up with multiple levels and even from the farthest seats up you can see the stage clearly. Easy to get in. Watch out for those $12 beers though.

Went for Game Grumps Live. Ive been here before, but it blows me away every time: how absolutely gorgeous the interior is. I know nothing about architecture or design, but it is beautiful! Even up in the balcony, the seats were good. The seats are on a steeper incline, so you never have someones head in front of your face blocking the view.

Love this place!! Beautiful historical theater in Detroit next to the Fox. We went to the first show after they had finished renovations.Had great seats, in the VIP section, full bar service. The servers were great, never had to leave our seats!! (Except for smoke or bathroom breaks). Highly recommend!!Definitely have to check it out!!

I love this venue and still refer to it as the state theatre. A great Detroit landmark with great architecture. the staff is generally friendly and the views are great from everywhere, though I recommend if you have GA getting on a rail early. Perfect for any show and a great way to start or end a trip in the city.

First visit to the Fillmore was to see Brothers Osborne on January 11th. It is a beautiful theater with very nice accommodations. I would say the acoustics were not spectacular from where our seats were located, but the experience was still worth the effort. I would encourage anyone to go check out this majestic place.

Such an amazing venue! This beautiful theater was built in 1925 and the details that have been so lovingly maintained are phenomenal! Such a small intimate venue is always going to kick butt and this place ROCKED! The staff, including security were all terrific. Even the parking for the show we attended was great.

Great venue. It is a really nice building. General admission isnt bad at all, but if you want to get close prepare to be uncomfortable. They have railings on raised platforms though if youre alright with standing further away. Loge seating was pretty nice. I wouldnt do balcony seating unless you are okay with being pretty far away. Drink prices are what you would expect. The bathrooms upstairs are better to go to because there are usually less people up there.

Had a great experience, went to see Dream Theater on 04/02/19. Great show! Security was a breeze, be sensible only bring your wallet phone and keys. Beautiful place. Nice workers. I will say though, No flash photos i get..I dont know how theyre going to try and tell you not to take video on your phone but youre more than welcome to take pictures. Whats the dang difference if I push this button or that button on my phone.

Review №53

Ahh the Fillmore... This is definitely my favorite venue downtown. They bring in great artists and I love the fact that the whole downstairs area is GA. As far as venues go I would call it medium-small, definitely a more intimate venue. Even if you get in late, you can get up pretty close to the stage. Overall, the Fillmore has a great vibe and I havent been to a bad show there yet. The drinks are reasonable considering its a concert venue and there are like 3-4 bars downstairs. I usually end up at Park Bar around the corner to grab a few drinks before the show.

Absolutely beautiful venue! There is no better place to enjoy a concert. There isnt a bad spot in the house. Weve decided that we will go to any/all concerts of interest simply because of how close you are able to be to the entertainer for a reasonable price.

Weve been here a couple of times for concerts, and this is one of the best places in Detroit. Last year we saw the broken social scene with frightened rabbit and stubborn D. You must line up outside before the doors open, so make sure you are warm in the winter. All floors for drinks and bars and French fries. There is a small food stand for you. . No bad seats in the house. Dont tell me the theater is so beautiful! The decorated ceilings are my favorite part. Would recommend to see a show here!

Filmore is typically on point. Clean. Comfortable. Easy access. But last night they ran out of toilet paper in the womans bathroom. I went down stairs into the next door bar. Which was pretty nice. Other than that ...awesome experience. Illerate Light opened for RKS. Surprised at how incredible illitterate light was. They are on their way to GREATNESS!

My first concert experience here was outstanding! The facility was clean and the workers were friendly and very helpful. The concert itself was on another level. I wasnt familiar with the band modest mouse (the headliner) or mass Gothic (the opener) but after seeing them at the Fillmore and seeing how well the stage and lighting was put together for them I can honestly say I am huge fans of the now! Definitely will be back for another show!

The venue itself is absolutely beautiful. They also did an amazing job decorating it for the Halloween season. Getting through security was fairly quick and painless. Everything is over priced- as tends to be the Live Nation way. The biggest problem, though, was the teeny tiny hard to fit in seats. As a 57 120 lb girl, I cannot imagine how anyone bigger or taller could even fit in them at all. My legs were so smooshed, I could not move them an inch and it was actually painful. Highly suggest only standing at this place.

Ive been so happy to have seen some of the best bands and music here with my friends for over 25+ years now! I miss seeing great shows because of the pandemic but I hope and pray this pandemic will end ASAP and things will rock again in 2021 and beyond! The Fillmore was the last place I seen a great concert before this dreaded pandemic began in March 2020 and that show was Steve Hackett playing the music of Genesis!
