The Parker
What people are saying
Very nice theater. We caught Kenny G here and had a fantastic experience. This theater, while spacious and quite comfortable, with the exception of a slightly high temperature, is very intimate. We just happened to be seated in the right place at the right time and got to see and hear Kenny G two rows away from us. He started the show not from the stage but in the middle of the theater on a small platform two rows away from our seats. The staff at this theater were very organized, and there was plenty of law enforcement outside to keep everyone safe during their visit. Parking was free. We had a great time..
The Parker is an historic and iconic venue for Broward County and the City of Fort Lauderdale. I have been to many performances here and always enjoy coming back. The shows that are put on here are always done exceptionally well with profound mastery of audio engineering and lighting arrangements. The venue is sizable but no matter your seat, the show will almost certainly feel like an intimate experience. The venue was renovated in the past few years and has modern fixtures in the restrooms, security screening, and digital tap to pay technologies. Seating is also very comfortable with large clearances in each row that make passing by easier than in many other venues. ♿️ The venue is fully ADA/wheelchair accessible 🅿️ Free lot parking is available as well as valet ➡️ Know Before You Go: Seating in the auditorium hall are not in numerical order. All even-numbered seats are situated on the right hand side and all odd-numbered seats are to the left. This dictates from which side of the theater you enter on. For example, if you’re looking to have two seats together on the left side of the hall, your seats would be numbers 17 and 19.
My wife and I have been to this place many times, and I can say that it is very cozy, quite comfortable, and has a bar 🍸 if you want to have a drink or a soda. The facilities have always been clean, so their restrooms. It has comfortable room temperature and good acoustics, and the sound system is one of a kind.
This place is a very upscale venue for concerts, plays, and more. It has an area for drinks and snacks. There is an option to pay a certain fee, and the fee includes all you can eat appetizers and all beverages are free, except for top shelf items, and they are at a discount. The music sounds perfect in the venue, and they have comfortable seating. A top place to visit and see the concerts and shows they have there. A great experience!
3/11/2024-It’s been 20 years since I last visited The Parker. ( Due to moving out of State) I was excited to return to see Dave Mason ..(As a widow traveling alone I felt safe and comfortable) First of all I applaud management! 5 Stars for a warm and welcoming experience and atmosphere! From the ease of security to the attentive staff, amazing bartenders, knowledgeable volunteer ushers and managers- all set the tone for a memorable and exciting musical experience! The venue is absolutely breathtaking! A true throwback to classical concert halls but with all the modern conveniences! The renovations are on point! I upgraded my experience to “The Place to Be “ lounge! I highly recommend this upgrade no matter what the cost! Amazing!! The lovely Ladies that greet you and scan your ticket are informative and welcoming. A wrist band is placed on your wrist and you are able to enjoy the lounge for one hour before the performance and during intermission! The lounge is down 6 steps and has private restrooms. Relaxing colors and comfy seating sets the stage for a wonderful VIP experience! A small but delicious cold and hot buffet is available.. our choices were: individual shrimp cocktail, crudités, cheese and cracker display,Swedish meatballs, cheesy flatbread, couscous! A dessert buffet, coffee, a variety of cookies, the makings of s’mores.. including a delicious shortbread/chocolate scones! Then there is a full bar with our amazing bartender, Scott! He suggested an Amaretto sour! Let me try a small taste and if I didn’t like it he would make me a different drink! I loved it! I’ve never had one before but love amaretto! He was personable and very accommodating! Everything was delicious and the hot plates were constantly being refreshed! The young lady attending the buffet was also friendly, attentive and professional! Totally a great value for a very VIP experience! The lobby and foyers are beautiful and easy to navigate! Signage is clear! You know exactly where you need to enter the Theatre.. Seating is continuous, no break or center aisle. The seats are comfortable but very small. The acoustics are excellent and truly not a bad seat in the house. The foyer has a giant screen tv and great speakers so you won’t miss a minute if you have to leave to use the restroom. The entire experience was wonderful! (Dave Mason was amazing! His voice is on point! Unbelievable! Sounds like he did in the 70’s at The Lonestar Cafe in NYC! I’ve seen him over 60 times in 5 different States! since the 70’s! Truly my number one favorite of all time!) The ushers are friendly, professional and knowledgeable! If they are all volunteers you have trained them well! Congratulations and thank you for creating a spectacular venue with a 5 Star Experience! I look forward to returning!
