Yelp.com Review - by John S.

3.0 of 5 stars. totally corporate venue, but that being said, it's one of the best places in STL to see a show. It's a really good place, but it kind of has a big box retailer kind of vibe to it, which is my only...

Yelp.com Review - by molecule m.

3.0 of 5 stars. Not a great venue. Not terrible, but certainly not great. And a bit overrated, imo. My last experience here at the of Montreal concert was poor. I had the worst seats in the house probably. I now know...

5.0 of 5 stars. Ever since Mississippi Nights closed down, the Pageant has taken over as my fav spot in town for concerts. Every part of The Pageant has good views of the stage. The balcony (21 only) has plenty of...

4.0 of 5 stars. I saw DJ Shadow here a while ago and really enjoyed it!! Nice place to see a show. My only gripe is that since I am over 21 and had a drink in hand at all times (like I do when at shows) I was not...

4.0 of 5 stars. This is a really good place to see a show. I've been here several times, and the only complaints I have are with parking... but that's to be expected. It's a small venue, but every seat in the house...

Good and Bad

This place has become worse over the years. There is only one exception, the sound here HAS improved after many attempts. In the past if you showed up early enough to make it in to the Halo bar, you had a...

3.0 of 5 stars. This place is really hit or miss with me. I went to a Ludo concert recently (last week, actually), and it was pretty good. I especially loved that for this particular night, at least, it was...

4.0 of 5 stars. Hm. I'm surprised by the mediocre reviews of The Pageant because I really liked the place. It sort of reminds me of Park West in Chicago with their relaxed table seating and open floor area, but it...

4.0 of 5 stars. I've been to many a concert venues to see/hear live music. The Pageant is hands down one of the best when it comes to acoustics. There must have been some acoustic engineering done here when they...

Yelp.com Review - by Jaffa A.

3.0 of 5 stars. It takes a really good band, or a free ticket for me to go to the Pageant. Since the first time I went there, I felt like the management of space was off. It's a pretty large venue, but somehow can...

2.0 of 5 stars. St. Louis sucks for getting good shows and the Pageant is slightly a step above some of the corporate venues like the House of Blues, so I will give them that. This basically is like a crap version of...

3.0 of 5 stars. Well, what can you really say about The Pageant? If the band you like is playing there, do you really have the option of not visiting? I guess it becomes a battle of how much you like the band vs. how...

Best Small Venue in St. Louis or Surrounding Area

Don't pay attention to the negative reviewers of this establishment. The Sound here is as good or better than anyplace I've been and comparable to the Ambassador Theater, American Theater or the Fox for sound....

Yelp.com Review - by name n.

3.0 of 5 stars. It seems so corporate and huge. I don't like going to shows and sometimes not being able to see the act. But if it's a small show or not sold-out, then it's a great place to go.
