The Granada Theatre — Attraction in Santa Barbara

Was so excited to see jersey boys. The show was fantastic. That’s the best part I could say about the Grenada experience. Check in at the door they want ID & vaccination cards no problem then you have to wear a mask the whole time? Why? I’m told because it’s a big event. The Super Bowl much bigger & there were no masks there. OK fine we’ll wear a mask. It’s so hot & stuffy sitting with a mask on in our seat. Intermission comes, we’re thirsty, because it’s so hot and dry. They’re not serving any drinks in fact there’s no bar, there’s nowhere to get water except for a drinking fountain. Interesting there’s a line of people touching the drinking putting their mouth on the button but that’s OK and it’s not being sanitized? But people are walking around with a mask? Don’t you realize that Covid spreads by touch and hands not because of a mask? The mask mandate was lifted!!!!!

Until they fix this flaw I will never go back again . I don’t care what...

Attended a rock concert at the Granada. The concert ticket purchasing was unclear and didn't specify packages that were later added. Timing for ticket pick up, show start times, and meet and greet with artist were changed several times via email the week leading up to the show. Staff were unfriendly and short with guests. Each concession stand had 2 beers and 2 wine options, after asking the wait staff if there were other drink options within the venue they told us that a bar upstairs would be open for cocktails. The cocktails we purchased were filled to nearly the top of each glass with alcohol and mixers handed to us to add into our drinks. Unfortunately, we both strongly suspect that the alcohol at the Granada is being watered down or cut with water. Both of our drinks tasted more like ice water than any alcohol. Don't recommend this...

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...
