Ridglea Theater — Attraction in Fort Worth

I gave a review a year or two ago after my expierence with Los Bastardos rendition of Rocky Horror. It was not what I had anticipated and made me severely uncomfortable. I will never return for Los Bastardos. Anyways.. i wrote a review about it on facebook and gave it 2 stars based on my experience.. why is it that all this time later, I am still being confronted by staff via comments and insulted because I had a bad time? So.. not only am i bringing my review to Google about my having a bad time, but i am now here to share how horrible the staff is. I get it that it's your work and you're trying to take pride in it and that's fine, but at least pretend to care the slightest bit that you didn't reach the entire audience. Could've left it at that, but no.. had to continuously argue with me 1-2yrs later.

Disgusting bathrooms that don't accommodate very many people, the chairs were god awful, small, just all around uncomfortable, the carpet was horrible. Very ugly and outdated and now my biggest complaint... THE STAFF ARE HORRIBLE WITH CONSTRUCTIVE CRITICISM AND CONTINUE TO INSULT 1-2YRS...

The Ridglea Theater venue itself is fine. My biggest problem was the drink pricing at the Ridglea theater bar. There are two bars on either end of the theater. At one bar we ordered a margarita and a beer (total $14) ok I thought not bad, par for the course for event pricing. Tipped at that bar. There was lots of time before the show so my friend asked for a water. They charged me $4 for a bottle of water. It wasn’t even a big bottle of water, it’s the kind of bottled water you can spend $4 for a case at the supermarket. I was floored, so I didn’t tip on that bottle of water because sheesh. Then I went back to the same bartender later and got 2 more beers and paid $16 for two regular size domestic beers (coors lite and a modelo). I think the bartender hated me for not tipping on the water earlier. How can a coors lite be more expensive than a margarita (no there were no special drink offers that night).

I’ve never felt so price gouged in my life. Don’t order drinks at Ridglea...

We recently had our daughter's wedding reception at the Ridglea. I can't think of a better place to hold such an event. The location is perfect, the staff went out of their way to make sure our event was a success, and the layout and floorplan works so well for flow, food and fun. Then there is the COOL factor. There's the marquis, the terrazzo floors, concession stand and stage... and so much more. This historic building has been restored and improved to make it ideal for receptions. The main area, formerly theater seating, has been terraced to allow great sightlines from anywhere in the room so no matter where you are located, you don't miss a thing! And. "the balcony is open" for those wanting a birds-eye view of the festivities. (My wife and I managed to escape up there for a few minutes to take it all in). Many thanks to Amy, Jerry, Joey, Justin, Ed and many others, for a most memorable evening, and I will be the first to suggest and reccommend The...
