We came here to attend the MeatEater Live Christmas tour and I have to say the atmosphere was much better than I was expecting. The seats I bought were much closer to the stage than I anticipated which as not a bad thing! The theater was very clean and architecture was beautiful. The only negatives I could put out was the bathrooms are a-bit small and can lead to very long lines and wait times but this is an older theater with not much room to expand so I understand the restrictions. I look forward to attending more shows here.

My very first Nutcracker live. It was very exciting and an adventure back to my childhood! The best live performance yet at the Paramount!

A truly beautiful place, our first time in the balcony. That helped to get a good overview of Ira. Also, well-organized, pretty well policed by the volunteers with good site lines. Little bar upstairs was nice and the concise parking directions helped a lot. Great way to see Ray Wylie Hubbard.

Amazing that a theater like this is still around. It’s older but the seats were still wide enough that I was comfortable even as a plus size person. Great acoustics, and there’s awesome food spots nearby. I had a great conversation with the ushers while people were coming in. They volunteer and they were all super friendly, had a very organized system to get people to their seats. I had a blast.

I absolutely love the Paramount theater, it is amazing! If you haven't been there you should definitely go. I'm sure it won't be long before it's bulldozed and a high-rise goes up due to City of Austin officials not protecting this gem and continue to sell the soul of Austin for their own personal gains. Two complaints; restrooms are absolutely disgusting. Urine all over the floor almost every time I've ever gone. Urine then gets on one's shoes, boots or macuskins then transfers to the carpet throughout. Staff is disruptive and interrupts show with their flash lights constantly checking people's seats through out entire show or performance. I wish staff would take the time to verify people's seats prior to shows beginning rather than just socializing. Hands down one of the best places! This old girl deserves better and needs to be treated with respect and dignity. Different set of discerning eyes need to be added to ensure long term well being of this Austin gem.
