"Best local place for live music in Bishop Arts"
"This was my first time at the Kessler and it was awesome"
"This was a great venue! We were up on the balcony and had seats on the side"
"What a unique venue! Loved it! Fantastic sound quality & atmosphere is awesome! Get there a little early bc it gets packed quickly! If able to get a ticket with seat"
"It was our great pleasure to see Jimmie Vaughan at the Kessler"
Best local place for live music in Bishop Arts. We last saw The Wild Feathers, and they did not disappoint. We've been here many times and there is no bad seat in the place whether lower floor or upstairs. They have 2 full bars if you want a drink, alcohol or non-alcoholic. If you're a fan of live music, it is a must.
This was my first time at the Kessler and it was awesome. I loved the venue and I go to a lot of shows. It’s well run, the drinks are great, and the bar is easily accessible. Two entrances from the bar area to the venue space make it easy to come and go. The ladies room was clean and well stocked of supplies.
This was a great venue! We were up on the balcony and had seats on the side. The only drawback was that they had people standing behind the people who bought seats, and it was obnoxious having them bump onto your chair and talk right behind your head while the performance was going on.
What a unique venue! Loved it! Fantastic sound quality & atmosphere is awesome! Get there a little early bc it gets packed quickly! If able to get a ticket with seat.. thats a bonus, but dancers .. go for the standing room only, that's where they "getting down" to the sound!
It was our great pleasure to see Jimmie Vaughan at the Kessler. 3rd time we have seen him & it is always a treat. A blues legend & the best guitar player around; it was especially nice to see him on his home turf. We hope you come back soon Jimmie!
Very cool old theater venue. Really intimate setting to see musical performances. They have various seating arrangements that they do. I just wish they would clear out some space for people to dance to certain performances. It can be a bit
We attended for the Avi Kaplan Concert! A.M.A.Z.I.N.G THE perfect size for a concert. For some reason we felt like we were somewhere in boulder Colorado. Loved it. Intimate space. Clean bathrooms. Great Looking Bar. Cute shots for pictures.
Small easy going venue. Tables and chairs near stage, folding chairs then standing room around the edges. Full service bar in rear. There is also a balcony with a few chairs up to too. Wasn't too hot or too cold. Sound system held up well
This was my first time to go to the Kessler. I ❤️ this place. The employee were super friendly and made me feel like a "regular" right at home. Our front row table was worth every penny. The band sounded excellent. The volume was PERFECT.
Not just the best place to see a show in Oak Cliff...but in all of Dallas!!! Intimate with unbelievable sound (oh yeah and a great bar). Kessler brings in the best talent around - some you’ve heard of but many you have not (those are the
This former movie theater is now an ideal venue for local, national or global musical acts. I've attended about a dozen events here, and other than one act with a bass player so loud I had to listen from the bar, each experience has been
This is a wonderful venue. The way it is set up makes every event very personal, intimate and cozy. You will be close enough to get the artist sweat on you!. Even the balcony is perfect for viewing any show. The bartender made some great
I attended the "An Evening with Al Dimeola" concert on May 31, 2023 at The Kessler Theater. The Kessler Theater is a wonderful venue for a concert. The setup of the venue allows for an intimate atmosphere for the artist and audience. The
Something has gone awry with the crowd and atmosphere at the Kessler. My family has been supporting this venue and the fantastic musicians who perform here for years. We formerly called this venue our favorite place to experience live
The sound was great and I felt like it was a cozy venue for the singer/songwriter show that we saw. They weren't serving dinner that night so we got something at a different cheese shop down the road and then stopped at Nova for an
Great Venue! Great people! You need to go!! We saw Shinyribs and The 40 Acre Mule. We couldn't have felt more at home even on our first visit. My only wish was for some food or snacks as we got there early to secure a seat.
Great live music spot that brings in top notch talent to perform in a cozy, ~200 person theater that has preserved much of its original 1940s style. Highly recommend for any live music fan looking for an authentic venue.
What a great venue!! Every seat in the house is a great one to see on stage and hear the acts. Great pricing on tickets and bartenders do well with the drinks. Will definitely look at more shows in the future here!!
Words cannot describe the customer service we received from the staff at "The Kessler", but here are three. Awesome, attentive, and accomodating. They made the show 6/5 stars without even knowing it. Thanks again!!
Jade Bird rocked out at this iconic Theater! A decent classic theater with ground and balcony seating. The area is on street parking but there were no issues finding a place with a full theater! Thanks Jade Bird!!
Very cute place to host a very pronounced event. We came to see the Sha La Das. It is nice to see a building that is well taken care of. thank you for hosting the event. The sound sounded wonderful! …
Best venue in town to see live music. If you get the chance, grab a table up front, you might end up being dragged onstage or have the artist come into the crowd with you. Langhorne Slim 12-9-22
It was great before ,but now with Covid they have space arranged with precautions in place. Great place to go. We loved every second. We saw John Fulbright. Sound system is exceptional.
Favorite venue in Dallas to catch a show. Love the historical interiors and cozy vibe throughout the theater. No bad view of the stage, but we love to get a table when we can.
Probably the worst place to go see live music, with the most pretentious crowd of people you can imagine. Being at a concert here is like being stuck in traffic on 35.
This is the CUTEST little theater. We saw a show and I loved the atmosphere. I loved that even at its fullest, it wouldn't have been an overwhelming number of people
Outstanding small venue. No bad seats in the place, but seeing Langhorn Slim from a front row table for 4 was exceptional. Watching their lineup for future bands.
Classic live music venue in a restored theater. Full bar, good acoustics and great staff. And girls, the ladies room is very nice. We visit this place often.
Fantastic Venue with not one bad seat inside or out. Very detailed, friendly, and helpful staff! Squirrel Nut Zippers DID NOT disappoint! ~Squirrel Gal
We're super excited to be able to see some shows at The Kessler again. It was our first show post COVID outbreak and we really enjoyed ourselves.
Great ol' school theatre. Parking is limited. Be advised if you purchase standing room only tix, ur standing against a wall in the aisle.
Awesome venue, small but atmosphere is great. All staff was friendly. Enjoyed seeing John Paul White and Kathleen Edward's. Great Music!
Absolutely love the Kessler! Great place to see a show. Great atmosphere. Staff is awesome. I need to go more often!
Great live venue if there is anybody you want to see and there playing here go you won't regret it.
Venue has been updated. Bathrooms clean and modern. Good sound and view of stage from most seats.
I love The Kessler, it's a perfect venue for singer songwriters and those who dig their music.
Great venue to experience a show. Friendly and accommodating staff. Will definitely be back!
One of our favorite venues for live music. No bad seats and the sound is excellent.
