    This venue is amazing! From the decor to the theatre and views, it’s a great place to see a show. So many choices, as far as food and drinks. The acoustics are amazing! The VIP Lounge was a great experience! We will definitely be seeing many more shows here.

    What an absolutely beautiful place. They had more than plenty of staff to assist in your every need, which was great since it was my first time here. The architecture inside the building is beautiful. The chairs were very comfortable, and the production was awesome. The one and only thing we hated was on the way to the parking lot, and in the parking lot were vagrants. It seems that since it's a guarded and paid lot, that we should be in a "totally" protected lot from any potential issues.

    My lady and I went to see Shen Yun, a Chinese acrobatic dance presentation. The show was fantastic. Photography of the performance was not allowed. But it was so vivid it will stay with you. If the chance to see it occurs, I advise you to take it. Stifle Theatre itself was very impressive. It was our first time there. The interior was very classy. The staff we very helpful and polite. It all made for a pleasant experience.

    Beautiful vintage venue. Sound was fantastic and the sight lines were awesome. Super friendly staff. There were tech issues in the club to get drinks but they fixed them fairly quickly. Location is one block off the freeway with close parking, too.

    We loved photographing Beth and Nolan wedding here! From a photographer's perspective, the venue itself is absolutely stunning. The grand architecture and elegant decor provide a truly regal atmosphere that is perfect for capturing some truly breathtaking photos. Located in the heart of downtown St. Louis. Stifel timeless style is a true architectural masterpiece.

    Another gorgeous arts facility downtown. The craftsmanship is just awe inspiring. If you've never been, it's worth going at least once just for the experience alone. But the staff is also very friendly. Concessions are a bit $$ and make sure you get there a little early for parking. 45 minutes or so should do it.

    The acoustics are incredible. The performance I saw there was the St. Louis Symphony orchestra playing the score to the 1993 Tim Burton film the nightmare before Christmas. It was such A nice experience to hear theOrchestra play as the movie was projected onto a screen above them. I cannot wait to come back!

    Beautiful venue. My seats were front right mezzanine ( row E ) and it was a close enough distance to the stage for the cost. I wouldnt have wanted to be back farther. There are a lot of small concessions built in to each level.

    Interpol and Spoon put on a great show at Stifel. Always a good time at this venue. Good sound and atmosphere. And the band that played first- Water From Your Eyes- was a wonderful surprise.

    The concert was wonderful Each act was given enough time to perform their best songs. The Whispers should have been allowed time to sing one more song. On the negative side, the sound system could have been better. The restrooms were not on the main floor. Not good for handicap people. The stage hands did not have masks on! They disinfected the microphones only one time after the first act! The St. Louis Blues were in town also which means traffic was awful. The performers were excellent.

    This theatre is absolutely beautiful. We went to see Bert Kreisher. Getting through the security check went quickly and easily. The inside of the theatre is stunning with all the detail. The only downfall was that the only bathroom was on the main floor which meant having to walk downstairs to use the restroom.

    First time at the Stifel for the Iliza Back in Action tour and it was a lovely experience! We had front row VIP tickets and got to meet her after the show. All of the staff were incredibly accommodating and so helpful! The facilities were all kept clean and well taken care of

    We've photographed weddings here for over 13 years and have always loved working with the staff. Not to mention that it's one of the most unique spaces for a wedding in St Louis!

  • 5/5 Darci M. 1 year ago on Google
    We attended a concert here and the atmosphere was just beautiful. The staff was informative and friendly. There is not a ton of free parking, but we were able to find free street parking right across the street.

    Beautiful venue. So much history. Great acoustics as well!

  • 5/5 Jennifer S. 1 year ago on Google
    An absolutely stunning place to see a show! The architecture is incredible. It feels like you're stepping back in time as soon as you walk inside. I prefer to sit on the balcony to take in the grandeur of the theatre. Always look forward to seeing a show here!

    The place was absolutely Beautiful. Architecture stunning. The staff was nothing but friendly. What an experience

  • 5/5 Christina V. 1 year ago on Google
    Great venue, seats in the mezzanine are a bit tight and very steep—great for viewing but harder for old knees.

  • 4/5 Tami K. 6 months ago on Google
    Love the theater! Saw Dirty Dancing with a live band. The screen needed to be larger (we were way in back). Otherwise it was great. 🙂

  • 2/5 Lynetta H. 6 months ago on Google
    The stephanie mills concert was AMAZING with exception of El Debarge. They need to remove him from the lineup. Now for the theatre...we set in the mezzanine and these seats are HORRIBLE. The Stifel should be ashamed. Im 5'2 and I could barely get in my seat they are so close together. No room for your legs in front of you. No room to clap without slapping your neighbor. No room to stand and dance. No room to eat. THESE ARE NOT FOR ADULTS. If you are taller than 5'5 you need to sit on the ground or VIP. Snacks were ridiculously over priced, water $6, a CAN of wine $15 thats taste like seltzer water. A cold pretzel $10.. just terrible. 1 of the elevators was not working. They had seniors walking up 3-4 flights of stairs. They seriously need an UPGRADE.

    Attended a private event. Seating is tight and trying to get to interior seats is a challenge due to narrow spacing. Would not be comfortable in a sold out event. Space is absolutely gorgeous though and worth at least one visit if afforded the opportunity.

    This was a first time here for everyone in our party. The venue is beautiful. We all felt that concession help was extremely slow. Every employee seemed pleasant !

  • 5/5 Serene J. 1 year ago on Google
    My family and I really enjoyed the Blues show. The seats we had were pretty close to the stage and the performers were interactive with the crowd. They have food, drinks, and the process to get through the door was pretty smoothe. The staff are helpful with finding seats and answering questions. The space is more intimate than others so seating is closer in general compared to other venues.

  • 5/5 Frank B. 1 year ago on Google
    Really beautiful theater. My mother saw Elvis Presley here in 1957 and I recently saw Alice Cooper for the second time here. Even those old dudes from The Muppet Show were there!

  • 3/5 Don H. 2 years ago on Google
    Brian Regan concert was awesome. Seating is very very tight . If your over 6foot you will have your knees jammed into seat in front of you. Very uncomfortable. I ended up going down and standing by the wall.

    Theater is nice. Parking isn't great if it's raining because you are either parking on the street or in the garage attached to the Scott trade and then you still have to walk outside to get in. But if the weather is nice it would be a close area to park. I haven't been to many events in. Long time and forgot to leave my Leatherman at home and had to go back to the car. But I guess that's on me. The mezzanine level is steep but that gives everyone a nice view
