The Magnolia

This is a really nice theater/ concert venue. I highly recommend it. It has a large patio area with seating, bar tenders, and pretty good Mexican food. Inside they have several snack & drink (alcohol & non alcoholic) stands. Very clean bathrooms and the staff are really nice. My friend and I sat in row z in the back and could see our performers face clearly. The seats are movie theater style seats (not recliners), but a tad skinner. But overall better than stadium style seats. They have event parking for a charge. My friend and I found street parking a block from the event which is free and we had no traffic leaving the event. Really looking forward to going back soon.

Not the first time I've been here. The acoustics are pretty good, the staff is friendly, and the food is good, though expensive as you might expect. Parking is actually pretty easy, too.

Easy parking, great sight lines and great acoustics. Will definitely keep an eye out for shows coming through here.

Great venue, anywhere U sit is a Perfect n intimate show!!! We saw Hillarious Brad williams n he Never disappoints lots of Laughs!!!

lovely venue, clean, and comfortable. sat in row R and it was a very nice view

Watched an Anuhea @anuheajams Lotus album show, with Lea Love @lealovemusic and Swells @swellsoc, here. The venue is brand new and very clean. The concessions are good considering it's a small-ish venue. The bathrooms are clean. The parking structure was close by (very short walk) and very convenient. The free street parking is a great option, but you'll have to arrive extra early to find those spots. We Sat in the 2nd row, extreme stage right, so our view was totally unobstructed, even from the people in the 1st row! The sound quality in the front is very dependent upon the volume of the onstage front-of-house speakers that fire into the audience because the larger suspended speaker arrays fire too high above your head. For the opening act, they were way too loud; considering there's multiple stage speakers less than 10 feet from all front row seats, this can eventually get uncomfortable. Fortunately they weren't as load for the main act. (Considering bringing earplugs if you're in the first 3 rows.) Overall the sound & lightning equipment is top notch.

This was our first visit to The Magnolia, and I loved it! It is a great venue for concerts! Parking is easy to get to from the freeway, and waa pleasantly surprised to find out it is free. It is a quick walk from the parking lot to the venue. The venue is a wonderful size, and honestly, no seats inside are bad seats. I look forward to future concerts at The Magnolia!

The place is well situated by a beautiful hotel that is the prime place to stay and park your car. It's a great venue for a classy night out and enjoyed the comfiest seating. It's clean, neat, will staffed with friendly helpful people. We will be seeing more shows and events there in the near future and will tell our friends and family if not bring them.

Came here for the Mark Hoppus book tour. This is a venue on the smaller side compared to places like Viejas. It was easy to see Mark. Unsure how this would be for concerts but I would say it was perfect for a book tour/speaking event. Parking was easy (I prepaid) and it was easy getting in and out of the venue. No traffic. It's a little out of the way in San Diego but I would come here again. Food/drinks were easy to get. Place was clean and organized. The only thing I disliked about the place is how long the rows are. There should be a walking path in the middle so less people are walking by your seat and for safety reasons.

I got to see Morgan Jay this past Saturday and I had never been to The Magnolia, so I was excited to check it out. My husband dropped my friend and I off, but it looks like there is parking structure and plenty of public parking near the area. Getting through security was pretty fast and easy and everyone was so friendly and excited for us to enjoy our time. Megan and I had plenty of time to get drinks and food, I do want to say it is pretty pricey for a watered down margarita, but I thought that price for the nachos was pretty fair especially since it was packed with a lot of carne asada and they were pretty tasty, pretty sure it was $40 with tip. The Magnolia itself is really clean and organized, the women's bathroom has a free pads and tampons which is so nice and thoughtful, it should be like that everywhere! I wish though that the seats were a little more roomy, I felt like I couldn't put my drink in the drink socket without bothering my seat neighbor. Overall, when there is another great act here, I'd definitely book seats especially ones at the end.

I really enjoyed this venue. There's plenty of parking, both free and paid. The staff was very friendly, and the interior is impressive. The VIP section offers comfortable seating, a private bar, and food service. However, the event management was poor. The speaker was scheduled to start at 7 PM, but didn't begin until 8 PM. They also delayed entry, leaving us waiting outside for a long time. The food is extremely overpriced--$10 for two tacos, $15 for nachos, $17 for a tall beer, and $6 for a bottle of water. Overall, it's a great theater, but it could be better organized with more reasonable pricing.

I attended the Magnolia Theatre in El Cajon for Britton's Finest Beatles Tribute last night. What was up with the sound system? It seemed to me that there was almost constant loud feedback, making the music hard to enjoy. Also, it was annoying that between the warmup band and the long break before the main act, they didn't start until 90 minutes after the published start time. I've enjoyed concerts there quite a bit in the past, but between this experience and them canceling the Jonny Cash Tribute last weekend within 24 hours of the start, this is likely my last concert at the Magnolia. It's such a shame as the venue had been first class and the local restaurants enjoyable.

Miranda J went the extra mile to make our visit to the Magnolia extra special. Thoughtful and efficient! She's a great asset to your team! Also great concerts!! It's too bad for girls in front of us stood up "dancing" and blocking our view. They cleared out the entire section behind us and blocked our view for the entire concert, EVERY SINGLE SONG.

Didn't seem to have a bad seat in the house, went here for a comedy show, and it was completely packed. You would never have known, plenty of room between seats. I didn't end up getting snacks or drinks, but there were options there. Would definitely come back. We chose to park farther away, so we could have an easy out experience, I think parking close up could be difficult.

The Magnolia is a very nice comfortable venue with fantastic acoustics. We saw Ryan Adams here a week ago. Good show but he talked way too much between songs. Sorry dude, but I don't need your life story at a two hour concert which ended up near three hours with the monologue. But, very talented artist. Oh yeah, parking was $20 in the venue lot. However, you can find street parking and there is a free parking lot somewhere near.

First time going to The Magnolia, and went for a comedy show. There was offered paid premier parking, however we were able to find free parking on the street (thankfully, since it was a busy Friday night). I was pleasantly surprised to find out that our seating (row O) seemed to be a lot closer to the stage than it appeared to be online when we purchased our tickets. It seemed like such a huge crowd (judging from the initial line outside when we were all waiting to be let in), however once inside it didn't seem to be too packed. From where we were sitting, you could hear people shout out from the front row and even the very back row. Acoustics-wise this was conducive to a very engaging comedy show which worked for this comedian since his crowd work is always funny. However, reading from other people's reviews idk how this would play out for a concert. Passed on the food and drinks due to the prices. I think I saw a Modelo was $14+, maybe it was a tall can?

Had a wonderful experience there ! Concert was great , food was awesome and drinks were delicious. You can take everything to your seats ! Employees were very accommodating. Would definitely go again !

This is a pretty spacious venue as far as the sizing of it. Very clean. Place is pretty well kept. I will say theirs a lot of seating inside where the actual show is but not a good amount of spacing in between the aisle(s) of the seats. People kept kicking my seat during the show. When I would excuse myself to the restroom people would have to squish themselves sideways for me or others to get by. No elbow room between the next seat. Once the lights go out it's pretty hard to see where your going if you want to exit during the show for any reason and return. I would say they have a lot of snacks and drink options. Parking isn't too complicated their are several options close by.

First time here this year. Decent event area, and looked clean. Only one bathroom for men and one for women. Concession prices seemed high , but that's probably sadly the norm. I jusy went off the price for a water which was almost 8 dollars. Way too many people were coming and going constantly during the show. I don't know if there is any real way of fixing it, but damn it is distracting and very annoying. Also my feet kept getting stepped on each time someone needed to get through. Needs more space. Seats could be better for taller folks Parking was easy and there are some free areas. I wasn't sure where their actual designated parking was I might come here again, but would be more inclined to visit other venues first .

The venue itself was a lot better than I expected. This was my first time here and I was very pleasantly surprised. Parking was easy and a lot of free parking is available. The staff was friendly and helpful. We did try some of the food but it was really just ok. I would definitely come back for another show here.

Came here for a Gypsy kings concert this week and had the best time ever. ADA seating was requested and granted at the venue in the evening of. Although, i was initially told I would be seating in row H, they put me in row Q. The acoustics were fair, and i didn't have to wear ear plugs worrying about migraines starting or anything being triggered. The bathrooms were clean, and the parking plentiful for ADA parking mostly because i came 3 hours prior to the start of the event. Thank you for a great evening. If there is another opportunity to visit to watch my favorite band, if they weren't in OC, id come here any day!

A lot of bad Yelp reviews for this venue but our experience was very good. There is plenty of free parking all around the facility and if that is not a huge plus, I don't know what is. We parked in the huge (free) lot next to the police station and the walk to the theater was about 5 minutes. Getting through security was a breeze. There were plenty of people scanning tickets, too. We didn't get any food but the food at the taco stand outside the front doors looked terrific. They also have food and drinks inside the venue. The sound inside was very good. The place is also intimate enough where nearly every seat is a good one, with good views. As others have noted, there are only two aisles, one on each side. So if you are seated in the middle (like we were), it's a long walk to or from your seats. Another aisle in the center of the facility would have been nice but would also have eliminated a lot of seats (and extra revenue). I will say there was plenty of leg room, which is another huge plus, if you are sitting for two or three hours. Another reviewer correctly noted that the tickets state the door opening time and not the start time of the show. This is insane at if was done intentionally to get people to the venue early to buy more drinks, that is pure evil. I hope this wasn't intentional but this issue should be fixed. Signage inside could be better, too. It is not intuitive whether your seats are up the stairs or on the floor level, and the signs really do not help. Overall, it is not a perfect venue but the primary reason you are there is to see a good show, with good sound, with nice views, and quality seats. You get all that here. I wouldn't hesitate to return.

The Magnolia is a pretty decent Venue for watching Comedy Shows And Cover Bands to HeadLiners. Safe Parking Lot. Never had a problem with Security. There's usually more than enough parking spaces. 〰〰|Friendly Event Staff 〰〰|Food and Drinks are sold inside. 〰〰|Plenty of Restrooms to accommodate Tip: Even on a Summer Day or Evening the inside temperatures drop quite a bit with the AC on.

My first time visiting The Magnolia and it was absolutely perfect! There's a parking structure that made parking super simple and there was no extra fee. The security was super efficient and the lines for concession and bar never felt that long. They had a ton of draft and can options, as well as cocktails. Our seats were a couple rows away from the stage but we still felt so close, something about the way the seats are lower and the stage is wide, every seat has a great view. At intermission we went to get some popcorn and they gave us big one get one free. We had a lovely time and will be sure to visit more often in the future!

This is a nice venue with lots of great views from all seats. I went to go see comedian Sofia Niño de Rivera, and she was hilarious as always. I got row Z1 which was near the back, but I was still able to have a nice view. The seats were comfy and there are drink holders available. The only thing I didn't like was that the snacks and drinks were only available on the first (bottom) floor, so it made it difficult to go up and down the stairs. They did have options available in other floors but that consisted of having to pay for a VIP package of some sort, and that just wasn't worth it. Parking was available at the court house and we found a spot on the top level. The walk over was short and not bad at all.

I've been to this venue twice and have had lovely experiences both times! The first time I went was to see Pete Davidson. The venue is cozier than other venues, so it was cool to see a famous comedian so close and personal. The second time I visited was to see "The Nutcracker". The venue had special Christmas-themed cocktails and Nutcrackers for sale, which I thought were nice touches. There's ample parking outside of the venue. The venue itself is very clean. Any staff I've encountered are very friendly and welcoming. I love this venue and look forward to coming back here for future performances!

Nice place! Easy to get to, parking was free- inside was clean and nice. Venue felt nice and cozy. Lights were kind of annoying/blinding into the crowd before the show started. We also ordered a beer and were definitely served the wrong beer! (taps were switched). Prices could be cheaper for being in El Cajon loll but it's a music venue so that's how it is. About 13.25 for a beer and higher for mixed cocktails. Overall a nice time- would return!

Never knew about this venue. I caught a Tom Petty tribute band performance here. The place is well set up. They had a bar to purchase drinks, a taco stand outside, and per their website 1200 seats in the venue. The acoustics were pretty good here. My ears were ringing a bit after the concert but it wasn't too bad.

I recommend The Magnolia and would return. The acoustics are good, seating is good and the venue is located right in downtown El Cajon, close to bars and restaurants. We were, unfortunately, scammed by a company called TICKETS ONSALE. Make sure, when you buy your tickets, that you are not automatically directed TICKETSONSALE. We were able to get our tickets, after hours of negotiating by phone and online. I hope management of the Magnolia will warn customers about TICKETSONSALE.

Magnolia is running a scalpers only event for January 4. You have to purchase four tickets. Already the tickets are just reselling at a higher price. Obviously people are just going to scalp the Tickets so magnolia will make money and everybody else has to pay a premium to some stranger out there. I've never seen a theater do this.

5 Star and for so many reasons! Excellent parking-plenty of and close proximity. And it's free! Friendly staff, from the security out front, the check in staff, the vendors, food-drink and souvenirs, they were all absolutely delightful. Outside you'll find string lights, a set up with a Taco Stand, Carne Asada only, but very good, drinks and tables. Inside you'll find plenty of opportunity to purchase drinks and basic theatre style food like, popcorn, Bavarian pretzels, nachos, etc. as well as drinks non alcoholic and plenty of alcohol in a wide variety, something for everyone. Smaller auditorium style set up so good viewing no matter where you sit. I got front row cause I wanted the opportunity to meet Tanya Tucker and maybe get an autograph and I got both, as well as a shot of Tequila! She and her entourage are the absolute very best! They and Tanya gave an amazing, praise worthy performance! We thought the sound was perfect. Restroom availability and cleanliness is on point. I will go back and highly recommend.

I have mixed emotions about this venue. I recently saw Ray LaMontagne a bluesy, folk, country, amazing, singer, songwriter. Let me explain a little... Pros: The sound was pretty good. When he belted out some high notes and some loud spots you heard it all. (which will be a con later in this review) The seating was pretty good. I purposely picked out row seats because I saw that their was only one single row 50 seats long. Also, I was seated midway up the seating. Not too far and not too close. Leg room seemed like it was a little more than average. I didn't have to get up every time someone walked by which is normal anywhere else. Parking! The best ever! no fees and its close! Cons: The sound was pretty good. You hear too much! I could hear a loud clap or cough from across the theater. It is great is you have the right band for the venue. The bag check was lame. They had a 4" by 6" only rule. Not sure where or why but it was causing havoc with a lot of people. It was square and a lady had a round purse that went over the long length side and couldn't take it in because essentially, it was round. No common sense applied. Lastly, neither pro or cons: As usual, the drinks were crazy priced and the merchandise was slim. I don't blame the venue so much. Depending on the artist I wouldn't mind coming back to this place for some more live music.

We had the pleasure of seeing one of my favorite artists at The Magnolia Theatre on Sunday and what a wonderful venue and experience. Plenty of places to pick up a drink with minimal wait times or hassle. Very comfortable seats with ample leg room. The venue offers a nice VIP lounge with a private bar and free popcorn. Although we didn't eat anything there were a few options for some light snacks available and a taco truck just outside the doors where you could get a bite to eat. Overall, a really pleasant experience and not a bad seat in the house. Would absolutely recommend The Magnolia if you have an artist, comedian or other event being hosted there.

Tickets for the Pete Davidson show and was pleasantly surprised. I've never heard of The Magnolia. Although we had very close seats, just by viewing the venue, there really wasn't a bad seat in the house. Entering the venue was standard, nothing surprising, but exiting the venue was quite crowded due because of the size. All in all, if there was another show I wanted to see, I'd def come back. Parking was directly on the property which was full when I arrived so I found street parking directly in front of the venue.

The place is beautiful and the feeling you get is amazing. The show we saw there was great and all aspects were outstanding.

First time here in this theater. I usually watch shows at Civic Theater Downtown San Diego, but since Benise did not perform in San Diego. I was surprised they have fast line with $10 dollars extra, and the main line won't open 30 minutes prior to the show begins. People would wait outside, why can they let people in so they could purchase drinks instead of standing outside. In my opinion this is a bad idea for the concession stand

We went to this venue with low expectations due to the location. I will say we were pleasantly surprised! Be advised it is managed by Live Nation with concert venue rules. That being said, I recommend reading the website for a list of items you can bring into the venue. They have a full bar with hot dogs, snacks, and seasonal sweet treats. The seasonal items were From various local bakeries (some even baked In house). They were delicious. The drinks were yummy and they even offered some specials. The prices are average for concert venues. FYI they are a cashless venue so bring a card! The staff were friendly and helpful. My only complaint were the lines. Arrive early if you want concessions. The venue was clean, acoustics were good, and I'd say these not a bad seat in the house! It's a smaller venue but the stage is large and elevated so the viability is great!

This is not a professionally run venue. I'm a professional musician and have toured domestically and internationally so I understand the challenges behind running one and appreciate the difference between being behind, onstage and in the audience. The only positive this has going for it is free parking. Our performance was ticketed for 12 pm on the tickets and in email and yet the performance started at 1. The entire audience of 1000 either sat around outside or walked down the street to get Middle Eastern food (which you should do!). How does this happen?! Otherwise, LiveNation t-shirt clad "ushers" aren't given focused lighting devices to help the multitude of people they let in over 30 minutes late to Classical or Ballet to find their seats. They literally were whipping out their personal cell phones which is terribly disruptive. They don't cut off patrons from entering and they speak loudly as employees and they don't do anything for disruptive patrons who should be removed. The sounds system is low quality and poorly designed for the room. The movie theatre style seats are uncomfortable for smaller children and my 6 year old fidgeted the entire performance since the seats were too deep for her to weigh down. Rows are 49 seats long so enter from one side or the other!C

Good food and cocktails! Seating is good sized. Convenient parking, friendly staff and a great venue for concerts and comics! This place is a gem!

Our first time here and was pleasantly surprised at how nice it was. They offered food and drinks before and during intermission. I seen people bringing drinks into the auditorium which I liked. Other places didn't allow that. We were there to see The Nutcracker and thought they did an incredible job! Perfect view from any seat because of the way it is set up. Sound is beautiful throughout. Will definitely be back here for more shows or concerts.

This venue is a tragedy waiting to happen. We're lucky to be alive. On May 26, 2022 - after almost 2 years of waiting we drove almost 6 hours to The Magnolia theatre to see one of our favorite bands OMD play. The theater was very nice in appearance and we were very excited to see the band. We also had 2nd row seats. During the 2nd song I started to feel the floor literally move up and down. I looked over to my friend and asked him if this was an earthquake because we had to hold on to our chairs to avoid falling down. During the 3rd song the floor began to flex and shake so badly that I witnessed people starting to leave and there was even dust clouds starting to form in the air that was visible when the neon lights were shined out into crowd. The floor flexed and shook so badly that people were holding onto their seats and leaving the venue fast. After 2 years of waiting we decided to leave the venue also. It was not worth having the floor collapse and losing our lives. After we left I came to learn that The Magnolia was recently renovated and apparently OMD was the first concert since the renovations. I have attended hundreds upon hundreds of concerts in my lifetime and I have never felt the floor lift up and shake like a full blown earthquake. This venue needs to be shut down and the Civil Engineer for El Cajon needs to come inspect the flooring before it's too late and lives are lost.

Came here twice for 2 different kinds of show, I was here for Jamie Foxx special and The Disney Princess Concert, so far so good, you got free parking structure with walking distance but will probably having trouble leaving after the concert because the way they designed this parking. I never heard of this venue until 2020 so it must be new and renovated from some kind of building prior, but their staffs were pretty professional, they gave me a pair tickets from 2 different rows, so I came out to the box office and they were happy to fix that for me. Spacious seating with elevator access for disabled people. They just need to bring more known talents and shows to the venue and they will be good to go.

We drove all the way from Oceanside to see 3 Dog Night. We got here at 6pm because the doors opened at 6:30. It's now 8:30pm and we have yet to see the band we came here to see. $267 dollars later. Still listening to the 2 guys opening.... sigh! Ready to leave. Drinks are ridiculously expensive. So is the food. We will NEVER come back here to see anybody. NEVER! Parking is a hassle. This venue sucks. So not happy. We don't recommend coming here at all. The opening band is very boring. Thanks a lot. I want a refund!

This is such a great venue! It's a hidden gem and I highly recommend coming here for any show.

Lyle Lovett. We found the sound to be good. I know that other reviewers had complained about muddy sound. Possibly the result of the mix by the group performing? There is no center aisle, which is annoying, and makes is so that you have to get past a lot of people to sit in the center. Also, god forbid, what if there were an emergency of some kind? Set up for disaster. I assume (but can't prove) that the lack of a center aisle is part of Live Nation's profit maximization model and take-over of our concert venues nationwide. Good for private capital, bad for the rest of us.

Definitely the best venue around town! First of all there's plenty of free parking around the location, which is a big a plus. The place has great service and offers plenty of food and drink options, which is another plus. Our seats were pretty comfortable for a theater and even though we were not in the middle section of the rows, we still had a good view. All in all, I can for sure see myself coming back to The Magnolia for future shows!

I went there for the WAR concert 1st time at this location and it was wonderful, easy to go in, parking is right there (dont get the VIP parking save ur money you will need it for Beer since its super expensive!!) there is NO bad seats in this venue!! Alcohol is super expensive & they did sell food out that was not very good but over all the place is A-Ok!! Will come back again!!

We had good seats. Other than that... If your party includes an elderly person who uses a cane, beware. The "ramp" to the handicap parking was about a city block long. My mother had to walk with her cane, nearly falling twice, through this uneven, completely dark (no lighting at all) "ramp" to get to our car. (We were dropped off at the front before the show which meant navigating up stairs - going down them would have been impossible) How the City approved this astounding. Also, this isn't a movie theater. Popcorn, drinks, candy don't belong at a ballet. The person next to us spilled his drink on my mother. The people behind us (who were allowed to come in late) were chomping loudly on popcorn, making loud crackling noise (candy wrappers?) and yes, they too spilled their drink(s) and actually had a worker BRING A MOP THROUGH THE SEATS and proceeded to mop the floor behind us DURING the show. This is not a proper venue for a ballet.

We seem to have all gone to the Prince Tribute show the other day, LOL. This may be due to the fact that the Magnolia emailed people to tell them they could get 4 free tickets to the show. Obviously they had quite a few unsold seats they wanted to fill up. This is owned by Live Nation now, so tickets are through Ticketmaster. That means buying at the box office is a much lower fee than online. This was our first time at this venue, since we live in North County. It is similar to the Poway Performing Arts Center, but with a larger capacity. Parking was easy at the small garage that is part of the City Hall complex, but it wasn't easy to get out since there was 1 lane out of the garage. There are spaces out in front, but they fill up fast. The ticket pickup was easy, after we made it through security bag search & metal detectors. They do allow in & out privileges, but you must have your ticket scanned out to use it for re-entry. No outside food allowed, and they do have a little bit of stadium type food like popcorn or pretzels, with stadium prices. The are several pop-up mini bars, as well as the main one dead ahead when you enter. Alcohol was also super pricey. Plenty of good restaurants nearby, so eat before you come. The seating is good, with good views from every seat. The first row will be looking up the whole time, so sit a little further back to make it easier on yourself. We were in row Z, and there were a few rows behind us (Z1, etc), plus a VIP room. The rows behind were temporary chairs, and didn't look as comfortable as our standard theater chairs with cupholders. Sound was ok, not the best. And as mentioned, only 1 restroom that's on the small side. So go before the show when there's not a line. And don't get the giant beer.

Went to a concert here for the first time, place is small so there isn't a bad seat in the house and the VIP area was a cool place to hang, have a drink before the show.

Never been here before, but they hosted Kevin Heart so it can't be to bad I think, maybe it's worth keeping an eye on to see if any other good shows play there in the future

I've now been to two shows here so I can confidently say that I am in love with this venue and I am so lucky that it's in my backyard. This is a hidden treasure of a music and performing arts venue. It's intimate, easy to get to, free parking, doesn't feel overwhelming, employees are super friendly and the sound is great. Both experiences I've had here were great and it was at the Morrissey concert and The Nutcracker ballet. Two VERY different types of shows but they both created a beautiful experience and magical experience for their audiences. I can't wait to come back for another show at The Magnolia! Take my money!

I was gifted a ticket to Pod Meets world and I was pleasantly surprised by this venue. Plenty of free parking. Comfortable seats Nice views from the seats Concessions including alcohol I found a snippet video of the show we saw. You can see part of the show here. You'll see that the sound in the theater is good. https://youtu.be/j9jN4M6M32E

Great venue. The perfect size to see anyone. They also serve food and drinks. I would look for more shows to see here.

My wife and I had a great time seeing "Which One's Pink" , an excellent Pink Floyd tribute band on the evening of 06/08/24 . This is one of the best venues to see a show and with a great helpful staff. This particular evening I forgot my cell phone in the VIP section and drove back with hopes of finding it. Just as I arrived about 11:15 PM, Tyler and Janine were exiting the facility. I explained what happened and they called another woman inside who found and brought it to me. Thank you so much for staying late and taking the time to help me. When I asked if I can contact their management about the excellent service, they both said a Yelp review would be great. These are examples of a great team that Magnolia employs. Thank you again, Janine and Tyler.

They don't have ENOUGH EVENT signs for Parking or Attendants OUTSIDE to direct you!!!! BUT yet they have plenty of people working security (10-15) entering, and throughout the inside of the stage and Bars another 20-25 people. Put 2 people outside by the parking or put MORE signs where Event parking is. Sadly enough I was towed from the parking next to their Venue not knowing I couldn't park there. THERE were No signs from where I entered the parking. I went back and They did have a sign. Unfortunately for me, i drove into the parking front a different direction and I am sure hundreds of others probably had the same experience. I had to pay $425 to get my car out of Western Towing. THE MAGNOLIA doesn't care.

SOUND................. In two weeks, my husband and I have enjoyed two of the very best jazz musicians: Al Di Meola on June 7 and Chris Botti on June 15. On June 15, we sat in row O seats 46 & 47. It just wasn't clear, crisp sound. The Magnolia, however, may not be the best venue for jazz. Sound is VERY different the closer you sit to the stage. On June 15, we sat in row O seats 46 & 47. The sound was not clear, crisp. On June 7, we sat in row P seats 17 & 18. At intermission, we moved down to the row behind handicap seating. The sound was 100% better, It was like hearing a completely different concert. PS: Performers make the rules about the audience taking photographs and video. On June 15, some 20 plus attendees + the 4 folks in front of us videoed the entire show. Cell phones are bright and annoying (to say the least) for the people seating behind them. I ask.... If you pay to see a live show, why not actually look at the performer with your eyes rather than through the frame of a cell phone?
