Almost every performance I have seen here has been really good. There are several theaters here. I like all of them.The bar is good too. I typically get a beverage and treat.

Love love this space. The drinks were surprisingly well priced for an event venue. And there is a plate of cookies that are self-pay $1(!) and you can even take them to your seat. Love it.

Wow! This is a Five Star theater! Seeing a musical or play in this venue is a treat, a wonderful experience beginning to end. The venue as designed for this purpose so the sound quality is fabulous; you can hear every word. Seats are stacked so you have a clear view. They are wide and have lots of leg room, so much that when people need to walk past you to get to their seat, you can remain seated. Whoever designed this venue thought of everything! The lobby has a rustic yet industrial vibe with an open ceiling, lots of wood, iron and dozens of modern pendent lights. When we walked in, I had to pause and take it all in. There is a bar on the first and second floor where you can buy wine, beer and drinks and $1 cookies. Water, coffee and tea are provided free at several stations around the perimeter. Nice touch! We attended a performance of In The Heights and from the moment the show started, we were transported. That's why I love the theatre. It takes you to a different place, consumes your focus, exposes you to new stories and experiences, allows you to find relatable moments and also to learn something new. Shout out to the entire cast - every single performer was exceptional! Located in the heart of the Pearl, options for HH or a pre-show dinner are plentiful. If you arrive early to enjoy HH, there is plenty of street parking and you only pay until 7:00. There are also garages nearby and the Streetcar drops you a block away. The Armory is one of the venues that helps make Portland a wonderful City to live in. Highly recommend seeing a performance here!!! I've already purchased tickets to another play.

Just saw "In the Heights" here last weekend. It's an amazing theater in a very rustic Portland building. They provide coffee, tea, and some cookies while you wait to get in and at intermission. There is also a bar where you can order drinks. Already planning my next visit.

Terrific place to see a play!! Make an outing of it!! Great staff. Fabulous actors, themes and shows. Everybody needs to go to the Armory Theater and for refreshment at the Armory Cafe.

Reasonably priced drink at intermission. Tasty cookies.

The water here is bland and nearly tasteless.

What I consumed: I recently went to the Atmory to see a play. Food Quality: The drinks were good and they had Cookies. It would be nice if they had a more complete food menu and made more of an experience out of going to the show. Environment: Gets an A! Service: Better than adequate Overall: I was impressed and will be back. The show was great and the environment was near perfect.

Beautiful venue! I truly enjoy seeing shows here. I have sat in a variety of seats from the far back, middle and to the front. I have never had an issue seeing everything from everywhere in the theater. The stage setup is lovely. I was blessed to go on a backstage tour once and was even more impressed seeing everything behind the scenes. Having seen Three Days of Rain, Little Shop of Horrors and The Color Purple with many shows in between I have been very impressed with the stage size, lighting and sound capabilities. The theater is designed very well for entrances and exits.

The Color Purple is perhaps the best production I have ever seen!

I came here to watch a show being performed on the stage. It is a nice, clean place. They have a lot of food places to choose from. I like how there are places to go to that are close. Like the park for kids.

Great theratre and gathering place on the street car line. Tours are available, many different events going on year around. Close to Powell's and other places in PDX.

Thanks so much! We may be biased, but we think we have the best location in town and we love all our neighborhood restaurants. Hope to see you at the theater again soon!
