Reviews for The Arlington Theatre (Metropolitan Theatres) in Santa Barbara, CA

Awesome old school theater! The Cult put in a great show!

Watched Jerry Seinfeld here and had an amazing time! The venue is in the core of Santa Barbara so it is perfect to watch a show... at the theatre before or after a bite or a shopping spree as there are lots of restaurants, bars and shops nearby. The venuegives an outdoor feeling even though you are inside with lots of seating available. Read more

What a cool Theater! We randomly came across this beautiful place and noticed Jerry Seinfeld was performing. Had such an amazing... night, great atmosphere, fantastic decor ... definitely recommend this theater. Read more

This is a great venue for concerts and shows! Beautiful detail in the internal design and a strong slope seating which helps... short people see over those who are a bit taller. Seats are a bit narrow, not cushy, and stick in a downward position making ittough to slide past when people leave. That could use a bit of an upgrade. Acoustics feel lacking in the balcony. But I reallylove how it feels up there. And where else can you get alcohol and popcorn for a show? Except the Hollywood Bowl (but I do notrecommend those prices!) Read more

There are parking structures surrounding the area so thays nice. Friendly staff. Equipped with concessions and bars!Thank you for having us Arlington. Would definitely come back. Read more

Saw Sarah Mclachlan as my first live show there. First, it was HOTTER then heck in there with only 90% full. Also, I have been... to a ton of shows in my lifetime, so comparing the sound system at the Arlington was barely average quality at best. Read more

This old historic building is a cornerstone of Santa Barbara, even the inside is completely unique. The interior of the theater... designed like the inside of a long ago Spanish village complete with white stackled walls red tile roofs and a night sky andtwinkling stars. It truly is totally cool.
