This is such a great place to catch a concert. Â We have been here several times and have fallen in love with it. Â It feels cozy and small and you feel like you are really close to the band as opposed to some other outdoor venues I have been to. Â I also sort of like that it is a neighborhood so most attendees seem to be more respectful than what I have seen elsewhere.
I also love the food selection!! Â Since most concerts start at 7 (they have to be done at 10pm due to the location being in a neighborhood) you really don't have time to grab dinner prior to you show and it's great to be able to get tasty, fast food here. Â I highly recommend the pulled pork and tacos. Â Yum!
I recently went here for the first time to see a concert. It is a nice, intimate setting. There were plenty of volunteers to help people find their seats, parking, etc. It was easy to get in and leave. I know in Tampa I have spent an hour getting into the Ampitheatre. Definitely a nice play to see a show.
Review Source:Went here for winter wonderland last year. It was cute for the kids, and fun for the people who could afford to eat or drink but other than that pretty boring. Seems like a nice place to go for a concert but there are no concerts for like 3 months during the winter according to their online schedule. Bummer.
Review Source:Great job to all of those involved with the renovation and operation of this great Ampitheatre. I remember hearing a few years back that a major concert act was going to appear in St. Augustine, and I laughed... you didn't hear about ANYONE coming to this town, let alone a major act, but they have booked them time and again, and St. Augustine has a GREAT venue to catch awesome shows.
The seating is arranged in four large sections, the first three are located under  a large canopy (great for those midsummer shows which always bring those afternoon thunderstorms), while the upper deck is uncovered (and much cheaper). There is also a pit area for most concerts, where you will not get a seat, but get a very good up close and personal look at the concert act, and probably get to get some drinks and high fives from the performers. The chairs were roomy and comfortable, with LOTS of room to maneuver around. I was very impressed, as there were a lot of folks there to see Toby Keith (which was the concert I attended), and it was never overly crowded in any one area. I never had to wait in line to use the restroom, lines at concession stands were minimal, and there were plenty of areas to walk around, check out the show, relax, and enjoy the night.
The acoustics of the place are great. The bass is booming, the sound crisp and clear, definitely loud and rowdy, but not in a blow-out-your-eardrums kind of way. There are a few video screens behind the stage and to the left and right, letting you get a good view of the performers and crowd shots. The seats are leveled just right, giving EVERYONE a great view no matter where you sit.
The concessions are pretty good priced, too. Only $6.00 for a large beer, that's not too bad for a concert or sporting event. I was turned onto "the bucket" by some friends. For $12 bucks you get a large sand pail sized bucket filled with delicious rums and juices that will get you in a dancing mood REAL quick. There are mostly beer stands around, but they do offer up hard liquor and frozen drinks at a few spots, as well as some snacks, and the usual t-shirt / merchandise stand for whatever person is performing.
I really can't overstate what an amazing venue this is. I am so glad I attended this concert, and I will definitely be back many times, Any time I hear about a great act coming, you can bet I will be there- and you should be too. Check out the concert listings (they only have them during the summer) and stop in for a lot of fun. This place RULES.
I've  been to a lot of concerts in many different cities.
Buffett in Tampa was cool.
But the St. Augustine Ampitheatre is the BEST venue I've ever been at to see any show.
Not a bad seat in the house really.
If you do decide to get tickets, try to get inside under the main canopy as if it does rain the roof is so high you might get wet. But don't let that stop you, it's a great venue.
I saw Alice in Chains there this past weekend. I've traveled around and have been to many outdoor amphitheaters, but I have to say that this is the best one I've been to. The sound is fantastic and I had a great view even in the "nosebleeds" which weren't that far back at all. It's a very well built concert venue and I'm lucky to have it so close to home.
Review Source:I had an amazing time at the St. Augustine Ampitheatre last night. We saw James Taylor; took my dad for a surprise for his birthday. Second to Marc Broussard, he is the best solo act I've probably ever seen.
The ampitheatre reminds me of the Hollywood Bowl; just on a much smaller scale. The nice thing though, is that a good portion of the seats at the ampitheatre are covered. I can't comment on the parking, because we didn't. We took a cab there and back and that was the best idea ever.
This concert was sold out, so the lines were everywhere. Some moved quickly, some not so much. The drinks were pricey - $12 for a double - but they were well sized and appropriately strong. They have ushers everywhere in bright red shirts, so it's where easy to find your way around.
I hope to see more shows here because it's so much more enjoyable than dealing with the mess that can happen downtown.
