We attended my daughter’s graduation at Palladium at St. Petersburg College and overall had a really great experience. The venue itself is unique and has a lot of character — definitely one of those places that makes you want to wander around and explore a little before the event starts. There was plenty of seating, and we ended up sitting in the balcony, which actually gave us an excellent view of the entire ceremony. Everything during graduation ran smoothly and professionally, which made the day feel relaxed and enjoyable for families celebrating such a big milestone. The only challenge was parking. The main lot filled up quickly, so we had to park in the museum parking garage several blocks away and walk over. Not a huge issue, but definitely something to plan ahead for if you’re attending a larger event. Overall, it was a memorable experience in a beautiful and interesting venue, and we’re glad we got to celebrate such a special day there. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Old school feel with great acoustics - Pleasurable Evening! Went recently to see Stealin' Peaches and Allman Brothers tribute band. The theatre is much smaller than I expected and there is good views from almost every seat. The staff is friendly and they have a refreshment concession that sells bear and wine along with a variety of other beverages and light snacks. You have to go up a flight of stairs (or elevator) to the theatre which is different. The seats are comfortable enough but tightly packed as usual. If you are a bigger person like me you will be mildly squished. I look forward to returning for another concert.

The Palladium in downtown St. Pete is such a gem. The moment you walk in, the vintage architecture and beautiful ambiance make you feel like you’ve stepped back in time. It’s small and intimate in the best way, with charming surroundings, soft lighting, and excellent sound quality that fills the space perfectly. I absolutely loved the Elvis tribute performance — the setting made it feel even more special.

This is a fantastic place to see a play or watch live music! I have personally hosted a rather large event here and found it incredibly easy to utilize their entire space! The sound and the lighting were phenomenal, and every seat is a great seat! The building itself is very unique and Really plays into the specialness of the evening

We loved this old building! Floors, walls, the architecture etc. Had a wonderful visit to the Side Door Theatre. The staff was super friendly and the sound was great! Very comfortable and intimate setting. We enjoyed the Emilie-Claire Barlow show on August 2nd. What talent!
