Commodore Ballroom Vancouver

"Loved this venue!
It has enough space for the crowd to spread out.
I counted 4 bars which is great, you don’t have to wait too long for your drink.
Bartenders were friendly, I felt thirsty and they gladly offered me water.
The sound was not overwhelming, just right.
The stage was big and both bands seemed comfortable.
Loved the upper level with tables and chairs- some needed rest after jumping and dancing."

"Love this venue, one of the only concert venues that I actually like how the speakers and balance of the volume sounds in the crowd. & the layout makes a lot of sense, very comfortable place to be for a long period of time. (saw flipturn play last month)"

"I've been enjoying a vast range of diverse genres of musical excellence at the Commodore for over 30 years, especially because the venue has a wonderfully bouncy dance floor🕺🏽💃 With the combination of the cost of a general admission floor ticket, as well as arriving early enough, I've always been able to get myself situated against the barrier, front and center for nearly every performance! What's better, is coming to see up-and-comers here, who then come back the following years to pack Rogers Arena as their musical careers take off! Awolnation, last month, were amazing, with the bonus of 2 great opening bands! I've seen dozens of unknowns here, who've become the stars of the present. Conversely, the Commodore is a venue for many established performers who have already spent years on world tours, with award-filled careers, and don't fill grand stadiums any longer. A perfect example of the latter, was last week, when Tom Morello from Rage Against The Machine performed... with his young, teenage son ripping guitar solos behind this kid's little head! It was remarkable to be so close as to look in their eyes and feel their sweat! My 20-year-old self took over, sliding me into the inevitable mosh pit! There's no way for a similar experience elsewhere without spending a few thousand for VIP seating. I'm disappointed in my timing for getting sick because I had to miss the Macy Gray show last night🤦‍♂️ I usually attend at least 1/2 dozen shows at the Commodore every year! You won't be disappointed... unless you don't like your drinks in plastic glasses🍻 It's noteworthy to say that their coat check system gives me the comfort of leaving all my things with the diligent staff so I can jump around without hindrance!"
