Easy access. Street parking. Not to bad. Small single bar with 2 bartenders. Floor seats were folding chairs and really not comfortable. The seats at the tables looked a bit nice with better padding. Also the chairs on the balcony looked much more comfortable. Sound was great.

This is the perfect venue! The seating is great as well as the staff working there. We drove from Tulsa to Dallas to go to a concert there, and it was so worth it!

This is an intimate venue with limited seating. The acoustics are great as were other attendees. The staff is outstanding and very attentive.

On this night of our Lord and Savior: April 4, 2025. THIS WAS AN EPIC (day &)NIGHT! This is going down in history & I’m gonna tell this story in my afterlife. {the stars were aligned from the moment I woke up, the day was littered with the little things continuously working out that day} 1st: the historically charming Kessler Theatre, Dallas TX babe’e, has always been known for its uniquely Modern/Art Deco architecture as a movie house & now with cutting edge tech, which is exactly my style. It’s been around since the RLY 40’s, closed for a long spell, then ‘phoenixes’ on us, into the ‘pillar of beauty’ she is today! The ambiance & atmosphere were ELECTRIC y’all, even on the outside, when I pulled up!,And the bartender wasn’t too shabby @ all, y’all. He must’ve been “left-handed” lol Next, Dallas’s own AVRA Boom, little catholic girl from Dallas ain’t so little anymore yall. Her look & voice was provocative & angelic. Not to mention an audience proclaiming, “Hey Legs” a few times! Do not sleep on her. I’m telling you now! THEN: Babe’e we have our very own, home grown, Dallas’s own, Grammy Award winning R. to the C. Ampersand (&) THE GRITZ!! Chiiild they could’ve had the concert all night, by themselves! R.C. is so diversely talented in each of his fingers and he’s certainly chosen his band wisely (in my Obi-Wan voice)! And ooohh weeee: MY FIRST LOVE!!! “B.I.L.A.L., Beloved, Intelligent, Lustful & Living It! Mr. Pop yo collar to that!” has never failed my ears, soul & heart! I have literally been in love with his look, his life, and especially his voice since 1st Born Second album! I introduced him to @ least 5 distinctly different folks who, in-turn fell in love with him too-2 of which reminded me when we found out Bilal was gracing us with his presence here in Dallas. AND WITH RC & the GRITZ, forget about it!!!!!!!! This is over a week later and while I’m posting this I’m having complete sensory memory excitement as if I was there last night. Their, our, MY kinda music made/makes me feel like I am literally transcending, up over & beyond, as we speak, euphorically, in eureka! Like I said, an epic night, for me!!! Done ✅
