Awesome place. A classic theater. The building and the decorations are well preserved and creating unbelievable mood. We went there for Kismet. Also awesome.

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.

Such a cool place to see a show. Acoustics were good, lighting set the atmosphere before and during the show. Could have better beer selections but not a huge deal. Really enjoyed the experience.

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.

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 show is playing!

The history and beauty of this theater is a must see and learn. Saw a beautiful show tonight. The staff were very helpful and friendly. The only disappointment was that the concession stand was closed.

This is a beautiful theater! There's a moderately priced concession stand. The way the theater is shaped the sound is never an issue, no matter where you sit. I worked security here and the honestly isn't a bad seat in the house. Wonderful venue!

This is a wonderful theater. Every seat has a good view of the stage, and the acoustics and sound system are nearly perfect.

Great theater vibe and very helpful ushers...A worthwhile experience

The theater is beautiful, however the total experience wasn't great. Although I went directly to their website for tickets I paid an exhorbinate amount for tickets in the very last row of the balcony. Sadly I found the Book of Mormon to be racist, vulgar and demonic.

We were lucky to find the Double Wide-Symphony Van Morrison happening on our first ever visit in Santa Barbara. The venue was full, stunning and had good acoustics. It would have been great to see some close up video feed on the backstreet mixed in the the computer graphics they showed.

Beautiful theater in downtown Santa Barbara. We caught the opening night of the ballet, Giselle. We’ve never been to the ballet before and decided to go on a whim while we were in town. We had a wonderful time! Tickets were fairly priced and our seats were in the first section, very close to the stage. Highly recommend picking up your tickets in person at the box office, if possible. We saved a lot of money over the prices that were advertised online!

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

Great theater! Saw the Kodo Drummers and the acoustics were outstanding. Not a bad seat in the house! The only annoying thing was that in February of 2023 they still required masks?????? Not sure if that came from the venue or the performers, but please........enough already!

Fantastic venue for ADA accommodations. Staff is happy and helpful. Wonderful experience at a beautiful venue. Acoustics great. Joe Bonamassa! Nice and loud:-)

Beautiful as always. Lovely acoustics. We went for the end of festival concert at Music Academy. The fellows/students did a marvellous job. Seen several plays and concerts here. Never had a single bad experience. Recommended.

Opera Santa Barbara put on an amazing performance! We are so lucky to have such an opportunity here, and the Granada is always one of my very favorite places in town. It's so beautiful.

Beautiful theater. Purchasing online they had super low fees vs most other venues. Smaller and intimate. Great Celtic Women performance. Seats that were row G and a bit on the side still very nice. Aisle was best.

Show was great. Seating is tight no leg space. Like old movie theaters. No concessions at all due to Covid. Very hard on someone with asthma.

Kismet was fabulous! And the Granada did things great! Vax cards and masks mandatory and most everyone was compliant. The performer's were amazing!!!

State Street Ballet put on a great version of Sleeping Beauty. Awesome performance in a spectacular venue!

There is no finer entertainment venue. Not here, not anywhere that I've been, since my first show here (Chick Corea 1974). And it is beautiful, too. Artists seem to save their best for this special place. Just go. It'll be great!
