Saw Jeff Mangum here in February 2013, which was my first visit to this theater. Small venue (something like 100 people max) with a standing-only area just in front of the stage. Very cosy. Great atmosphere for small concerts.

Relatively small venue, but makes for a great experience for live music. Two bars make it easy to get a drink and the large area in front of the stage is great for getting a good view of the band. There is also plenty standing room just inside the entry way and a balcony if you want to find a... More

I went to the Jefferson Theater twice in February and I definitely plan to return. It's a beautiful venue in an excellent location. I'm sure it also depends on the show you're going to see, as I really enjoyed both of the ones I went to, but I had an absolute blast. Drinks are a little pricey. There aren't many... More

Most of the Jefferson Theater events seem to be largely standing room only on a large sloped wooden floor in a beautiful historical theatre. There are some seats in the balcony, but we chose to be closer to the stage and stand. For a long concert this might get a bit cumbersome, but the atmosphere was great, and when the... More

It is now the seen for live concerts.... More

A really cool space with lots of history! My husband and I went for the VA Film Festival gala and had a blast.

We saw Margaret Cho perform there. We used to go to the Jefferson back when they were showing old movies for a few dollars. They have done an amazing job on the renovations. Multiple Bars for buying alcohol. There is also a tasty Taco shop which you can access from inside. Really fun venue. We are going to see Carbon... More
