One bartender for an entire theater during an entire concert? Pretty cool waiting in line the entire concert cause you have two lines for drinks out the door and one bartender? Throw in some overaggesive security guards and you have got a 1 star. Saw Berner about a week ago here first and last time ever at the Hawthorne!
Went to our kid’s School of Rock concert at Hawthorne Theatre and honestly it was one of those parenting moments you do not forget. Seeing your child walk onto a real stage, under real lights, with a full band and an audience cheering them on hits you right in the heart. This was not just kids playing songs. It was confidence. Growth. Courage. You could see how much work they put in and how supported they felt by their instructors and by each other. Watching them perform, handle the crowd, recover from little mistakes, and finish strong was incredibly moving as a parent. School of Rock is a truly great program. It teaches music, but more than that it teaches teamwork, discipline, and how to show up when it matters. You can tell these kids are learning life skills along with guitar riffs and drum fills. Hawthorne Theatre was the perfect venue for this experience. It feels real and authentic, not polished or sterile. Being close to the stage made everything feel personal and immersive. The sound was solid, the flow of the event was smooth, and the whole space felt welcoming to families while still giving the kids a true concert experience. There is something powerful about watching your child perform in a real venue and realizing how much they have grown. We left feeling proud, emotional, and grateful for programs like this that give kids a place to shine. Highly recommend School of Rock and Hawthorne Theatre. This was more than a concert. It was a memory we will carry for a long time.
I love this place, if you like small venues you'll probably like it as well. Has an upstairs/balcony area with bar (downstairs bar too) and a few tables, usually you have to buy a wristband to get upstairs.
Nice enough staff. Pretty ridiculous when seeing a sold out show there, tho. 1700 people crammed into that place makes for a pretty uncomfortable time, and if you're not tall, good luck seeing anything. Sound system rocks pretty good
One of my fav venues. Been to several shows here and it's so intimate and satisfying. Drink menus are themed and fun and the crowds are not too packed. It can get HOT so dress light.
