I've been here a couple times & enjoyed both. They work hard to get great performers across the USA & local. This is a historical movie theater with lots to look at. Seats are comfortable. I choose off to the side so I can dance. Sometimes there are 2 bands.

It's a great venue to check out any kind of event, especially a concert. The sound system is amazing and is not obnoxiously loud, even in front of the stage. The chairs that they put up in front of the stage are not as comfortable as the permanent seats in the theater. It's nice to be up and close to the band, but it sounds much better if you're appropriately in the middle of the floor and in front of the stage. The concession stands could use more help, it just takes too long to get any kind of drink, or food item. I just don't like to stand in line for 20-30 minutes, just to get something to drink. I would definitely go back to check out any special event, but I'll make sure that I go with a full stomach. Overall, I had a great experience. I also think that some of the security staff need to be a little bit more sociable. If you go, you can park in the huge multi level parking lot behind the theater.

Excellent venue for music! Easy access to bathrooms. Comfortable seating. Courteous staff. Decent sound in theater. Parking was a breeze although this is on a Sunday night during a less than half-filled attendance for the show. The pizza sold there at the bar/eating area was pretty good, too.

We absolutely love this place! Live entertainment, in an up close and personal setting. We saw Fleatwood Mac and Meet Loaf. The surprise to us is that it's the same members in both bands. The vocals of the husband and wife lead singers are phenomenal! Please support the Onesti venues. It's a fun night out, with quality entertainment. There are so many different shows and artists to pick from!

Had a wonderful time there. My first time here. I live in West suburb. A friend brought me here for a Steely Dan tribute show and it was fantastic!! Ernie Watts and Corey Seigal was a surprise on stage.

Loved the Cher show! She made the show fun and interactive, pulling guests on stage to join her during songs. They have good soft pretzels, pizza, and snacks to choose from in their arcade/pinball food area.

The venue and the show were spectacular. The ticket pricing was also very reasonable and Jay connected with the audience. He made us laugh. He made us cry. It was great.

I had the most incredible time at the Des Plaines Theater last night! Watching The Guess Who with my closest friends and family turned out to be an absolute blast. The intimate size of the theater created an inviting atmosphere, making the experience all the more enjoyable. The balcony seats were a game-changer - ample leg room made it easy to get lost in the music without any discomfort. And can we talk about the lineup of shows they have in store for the rest of the year? It's a treasure trove for entertainment enthusiasts! One of the standout features for me was the free parking available in the garage. A convenient touch that really made the evening hassle-free. The decor is a delightful trip down memory lane, with a vintage cash register on the second floor that adds a unique charm. But here's the real hidden gem: a secret speakeasy tucked away in the corner of the second floor. We gave the usher a special "password" and a bookshelf slid open, revealing a sophisticated hideaway. It felt like stepping back in time. I can't recommend Des Plaines Theater enough! Check out their lineup, grab your tickets, and treat yourself and your loved ones to an unforgettable night out. This place is a true gem in every sense.
