Saw Sarah Mclachlan as my first live show there. First, it was HOTTER then heck in there with only 90% full. Also, I have been to a ton of shows in my lifetime, so comparing the sound system at the Arlington was barely average quality at best.

Great Theatre! Snacks Beer Etc. Are on point. I'm sure Arlington Theatre is not making money when they show Movies. I'm grateful for the experience and stoked to have local theater this cool.

A lovely experience - it’s simply huge, but somehow homely and sweet. Sound and film quality was also great.

Watched Jerry Seinfeld here and had an amazing time! The venue is in the core of Santa Barbara so it is perfect to watch a show at the theatre before or after a bite or a shopping spree as there are lots of restaurants, bars and shops nearby. The venue gives an outdoor feeling even though you are inside with lots of seating available.

What a cool Theater! We randomly came across this beautiful place and noticed Jerry Seinfeld was performing. Had such an amazing night, great atmosphere, fantastic decor ... definitely recommend this theater.

Awesome old school theater! The Cult put in a great show!

Beautiful place with a lot of history, friendly staff, nice lounge, & plenty of eateries and shops surrounding the theater. Great place to see live entertainment, even though towards the end of the concert it was getting warm and stuffy. It seemed like their AC wasn't functioning.

The beauty of this theater is something else. I loved the feel of the inside. Made me feel like I was outside. Quite the large venue. There are parking structures surrounding the area so thays nice. Friendly staff. Equipped with concessions and bars! Thank you for having us Arlington. Would definitely come back.

Very nice historic venue. But sadly there is no AC. I went to see one of my favorite bands perform and I couldn’t enjoy it because it was so hot in there and stuffy. They also have some stage lights pointing right in your face while you wait for the show to start, makes it that much hotter and uncomfortable. It was so sad because this band is iconic now I have this memory of not enjoying the music that I love as much.

I had a mix up with my ticket, but as promised over the phone, it was resolved promptly and easily at the will call booth. Great venue with a courteous, responsible staff. Restrooms, drinks, and open areas to hang out in during pre-show and intermissions.

A small, beautiful, historical building. Friendly people and good acoustics.

Beautiful place and the theater area was larger then what I expect it and did not disappoint me .

Love seeing shows at the Arlington; it's a good venue for medium size acts. Saw Peter Frampton here and Pink Martini for examples. The inside is decorated like you are in a public square; you can feel the history both simulated and real.

This is a great venue for concerts and shows! Beautiful detail in the internal design and a strong slope seating which helps short people see over those who are a bit taller. Seats are a bit narrow, not cushy, and stick in a downward position making it tough to slide past when people leave. That could use a bit of an upgrade. Acoustics feel lacking in the balcony. But I really love how it feels up there. And where else can you get alcohol and popcorn for a show? Except the Hollywood Bowl (but I do not recommend those prices!)

This theatre of 2000 seats is wonderdul outside and mostly inside. I was there for the Santa Barbara International Film Festival (SBIFF). The seat are comfortable and well done. There is a popcorn stand inside and an alcohol bar (wine, cocktail & beer). The wall are very well decorated and detailed, this is very beautiful theater. You can find a good view from the balcony.

Great place to see a concert!

Great staff, fun venue. Loved the layout of the theater. Wallows said they felt they were performing at the Pirates of the Caribbean ride.

Have you ever wanted to see a concert in 1944 Germany? Well look no further! Arlington Theatre in Santa Barbara, California has you covered! Anti Fun is there slogan! No dancing! No beer in the theater! No smiling! Not allowed!

This old historic building is a cornerstone of Santa Barbara, even the inside is completely unique. The interior of the theater designed like the inside of a long ago Spanish village complete with white stackled walls red tile roofs and a night sky and twinkling stars. It truly is totally cool.
