The Rady Shell at Jacobs Park

THE BEST music venue you have ever seen! The acoustics are amazing, the views are inspiring, and it is so OPEN and accessible ( no walls or high fences). Whether you watch the San Diego Symphony or Dolly Parton or Peter Frampton or a whole variety of music options, you will love this place. It is so beautiful, day or night. The layout is so great for people strolling by; they can hear the music and even see the stage. Also, the grass field in the back is a terrific place to spread out a blanket and have a picnic. The screens are so big that you have a great view from any location. The gourmet hamburgers, made by Chef Mario at Urban Kitchen, are pure perfection. There are many healthy ( and decadent/ yummy ) meal options. For dessert, I recommend the big, fresh cookies ( served by the popcorn stand ). Go have a perfect date!

Easy walk from entrance to our table in Marina Right. Attended great concert.... Hauser "The Rebel is Back". Table service for adult beverages and other menu items was efficient and priced accordingly. Acoustics were perfect. Entertaining and a wonderful venue on the water. Highly recommend.

The venue is amazing but they need to work on improving the concessions and the exit process. We were there for James Taylor and there was a big crowd. Lots of people getting food with no place to sit and enjoy it. Getting out of the venue at the end of the show was challenging with only a few exits. Overall, a great night!

This is one of the best concert venues I’ve ever been to. The Shell is an outdoor venue right on the San Diego Bay, which allows you to see the sunset during all the shows, and then listen to the Orchestra or band that you came there to see. The sound is perfect and the volunteers that help run the place are always polite and helpful.

Parking not close but it's worth a walk. Amazing experience outdoors and incredible sound. Nearly flat incline with somewhat narrow, foldout seats with good legroom for a "stadium". View at sunset pretty incredible with San Diego downtown skyline and sunset over point Loma across the bay. Should be on your list of must do's for the right concert. Great experience.

Saw Earth Wind And Fire there recently! It was a great show! We stood outside the area for free and could see just as good as people who paid for tickets! If you do that, bring a chair and BYOB

Love, love, love this place. It is beautiful, clean and an easy walk from the entrance to your seat or table. Table service is efficient and reasonably priced. Service is excellent considering the size of the venue. Sound is amazing and not too loud at all. Nothing beats listening to live music while looking over at the water. If you haven't been, I highly recommend it. I'll be back soon.

Great acoustics, wonderful ocean view, all seats good, perfect weather! Friendly. Pleasant staff! We are looking forward to our next concert there!
