Went for a Symphony of Beethoven on a Saturday night. Wasn’t too busy and we bought the cheaper seats that were high up. The sounds was still good up there and you could still see the stage just fine. I saw some people have binoculars. If you want to have a better view, I would recommend buying the seats lower or on the side balconies close to the stage. Please see my review photos for reference. Staff was friendly and drinks were reasonably priced. The place is pretty, beautiful details, bathroom were clean and the seats appeared to be clean as well. If your in town I recommend going for a show and I heard they have membership plans as well. They called me a couple days after to ask if I wanted to purchase a yearly package but I’m not from the area and this was a one time thing for me. I found out about this symphony event on “Meetup”.com

The Granada underwent renovations for a number of years and the resulting theater is much like the old one except it is no longer shabby. Absolutely beautiful - the Granada is great as it is reminiscent of the "golden age of Hollywood" - red velvet drapes with gold ties, curved staircases - lovely and elegant - much smaller and more intimate than the Arlington so all seats enable one to see the performance. I saw Sleeping Beauty several days ago and while the ballet was about 20 minutes longer than it needed to be, the fact that the live orchestra is visible by looking down more than made up for this.

I've been to this iconic Santa Barbara theater many times. The restoration they have done brings it back to its Glory days. I have seen concerts and plays and ballets and have always been amazed at the exceptional decor of this iconic theater. Every time I walk in I harkened back to the old days of real theater. I think about the amount of people that have examined and walked the Halls, sat in the seats and seen wonderful performances. What a wonderful old theater and building. If you wish to see what a theater back in time really looked like you need to go to the Granada.

I was at the Granada Theatre lastnight to see Postmodern Jukebox. It was my first time there. What a beautiful building the Granada Theatre is. I sat in the 3rd row of the loge section, had plenty of legroom and the seats were great! The parking for the Granada couldn't be any better with a City of Santa Barbara parking structure right behind the theatre, 3 bucks for the evening. It was a wonderful expierience. And I can't say enough about the act I was there to see, they weren't just great, but they were fun too. And the building is a gem.

Nice theatre. We were there for The Big Lebowski event. They have a powerful sound system, almost too powerful as I found my self bracing for the next loud sound from the movie. Could have gone 5 notches down in volume if it were up to me. One negative would be the pushy staff. It felt like they were all out to give you a hard time. Had a good time either way.

The theater is beautiful and there is not a bad seat in the building. The staff is wonderful and every performance I have been to, including this evening’s Alvinailey American Dance Theater, has been excellent. I highly recommend supporting the Theater, it is a special place. Try something new, if you haven't experienced a show here you're in for a treat.
