Rochester Main Street Armory

Seen many shows here. Always go home with a great experience and tons of memories. Owner is super nice and helpful everytime I call with questions about concerts. Downfall... Lines for beverages and food are always way too long and the venue could use better climate control; it's always very hot.

Extremely hot inside during summer months. Ac works in one small area. 4 large fans on site but not working or couldn't reach power. Many people over heated as a result. Never had this problem in the winter months.

Went to the Old Dominion concert last fall and going to Lee Brice this October. There are no seats, it's a standing venue but if you get there early enough you can get as close as you want to the stage. I just had general admission tickets and was front row! Best $40 bucks I've spent! If you don't mind standing, highly recommend going to concerts here.

Once upon a time this place was wasted and wasting away. Like a black hole right on Main St. And with the city always trying to draw investors and builders to ramp up what looked for all the world like a dump. Magnificent restoration to very high standards! Which the staff at every event I've attended there has also exhibited; very high standards, indeed. Great shows brought me here, but what grabbed my attention was the wide variety of activities. The main hall is awesome and actually has pretty damn good acoustics, and there are business meeting rooms, great fun stuff along with things and events I never would have imagined. Creative thinking. Always admired the castle - like appearance of this place. So glad it got cleaned up and put to use. Great stuff!
