I can’t even begin to explain how much I love this place!! Five stars doesn’t even equate to the magic this place brings. There are staff members that go above and beyond to make every night special. Paige (what an all star), Andrew (bartender/bongos), Andrew (the happy go lucky security guard). & Johnathon (I believe the bar manager). They go above and beyond and make every night so special!! We will be back. Thank you Paige for continuing the PLUR and you made our night!!!

Do Not Book Here. Event Hosts, Stay Away.
Walter Studios is a beautiful space, but they are not equipped to handle private or business events.
Sales: Refused multiple requests for a site tour before booking. Misled about F&B minimums, then leadership wouldn’t even take a phone call to problem-solve.
Timing: Our event was cut short despite paying for the full time, as staff rushed to set up for the next booking.
Tech Failures: I sent slides and a critical video in advance, followed up multiple times, and got no confirmation that the video would work. On the night, the video wouldn't play and computer crashed mid-auction — a huge blow to our charity event.
Service Gaps: Podium missing, drink tickets not ready, and staff showed no urgency to resolve issues.
At the end of the day, no one seemed to care. If you want partnership, professionalism, and reliability for your event, look elsewhere.

Trippy, artsy vibes and even the bathroom has cool ambient lighting + it was super clean! This place is not only a clean, artistic atmosphere, but it also caters to all groups :). After my concert was over (on 08/08/25) , I went to one of the little “backrooms” that they have (very trippy , and totally worth checking out!) I was under the influence. The young employee, about 5’0, with short hair & glasses, checked in on me frequently and made sure I felt safe & comfortable :) They even walked me out to my uber, to ensure my safety. I hope that person gets a raise or some incentive!
The overall vibe is really nice, The employees are very welcoming and of course they make sure rules are being followed while encouraging a fun safe space for all ! And of course, the sound and lighting for the concert itself was excellent. P.s. definitely check out the back rooms if you’re post concert, and not quite ready to go home yet ! :) . Amazing place, my favorite venue in Phoenix by far!!! Deserves more recognition

They do a great job with their studio and warehouse. The studio feels very balanced, if you want to socialize you can, if you want to drink and sit down you can, if you want to walk around and drink you have that option as well.
The staff are all very professional, helpful and knowledgeable on what they're doing. The crowd is mixed, you have nice people you run into and you also have messy people you want to avoid depending on who's playing that night.
Go with the flow when you go here and enjoy yourself

The 1 am cheese steak really hits different, better man the next day because of it. Definitely get the waffle fries, be the star in your own show.

Great venue with a bonus lounge and other rooms in back. Good sound, friendly staff, food til late, and clean restrooms!

First time at this venue since it became Walter Studios. Absolutely fabulous. Free parking, every employee is so nice and helpful, great food and full bar. The sound and lighting is perfect. What’s not to love?! So nice to have another small venue concert place to attend.

Best small venue in phoenix! Friendly staff, great set up, doors opened on time. Highly recommend.
My first time ever here and it’s officially my second favorite Phoenix venue ever (long live Crescent Ballroom). This place is beautiful, the lighting and sound are great. It’s clean. There are pretty lights on the ceiling. It’s air conditioned. I hope more rock/metal shows come here!
Crystal Robinson
Unbelievable customer service! Great food, decent priced drinks. Will recommend and go again

I saw Osees here a couple months back with my Dad. Was one of the best shows of our lives. Our faces were MELTED. My dad is a concert veteran seen zeppelin at the forum etc., and he swears this is a top 3. The venue was a huge part in it. We ended up front row, with our faces 2’ from the bass drums. Most intense, intimate, amazing concert experience of my life. The chill venue staff and layout made this happen. I will never forget that night. Really good food too!
