We have been to many shows and concerts at this venue and have enjoyed being able to have an excellent evening out locally.

Easy in and out. You are not far from the stage wherever you set. Chairs are comfortable with plenty of legroom. Not fancy, but pleasant. Walked there after dining at a restaurant just down the street.

Harvey Allen

Great venue! Super nice staff. If you get seats too close to the stage the speakers seem to shoot over your head and the sound doesn't seem balanced.

Beautifully restored historic theater in downtown Frankfort

Mike Callahan

Not fancy but a great little place to catch some good music. The area around the theater has restaurants, bars, etc. as well. Parking was easy on the street and free.

Frankfort's Grand Theater is one of those delightful gems that you discover just off the beaten track. A medium-sized venue dating back to the days of Vaudeville, the Grand has been revived after decades of neglect. When you visit, you'll see evidence of a loving restoration still in progress (but nearly complete!). Comfortable seating, great sightlines throughout the house, and a moderately-sized proscenium stage create a lively but intimate atmosphere in which it's a thorough pleasure to enjoy live performances. We had the unique pleasure of meeting some members of the project's board of directors who come out to work in the theater during shows. I'm terrible at names and sadly failed to record the name of the gentlemen that we spoke to, but they were deservedly enthusiastic about their theater. One of them gave us a tour of the upstairs balcony level (which wasn't open during the show we were seeing),which includes a lovely gallery space and more comfortable seating, well-raked for a great view from every seat. He also gave us a thorough introduction to the Grand's history. Concessions are very reasonably priced, with proceeds and tips (eager volunteers staff the stand) going to support the Grand's ongoing revitalization. We enjoyed a good-sized prosecco and a medium Diet Coke for $7 (plus $2 for the tip jar that goes to support the project). Patrons may bring their refreshments into the theater (which even offers cup-holders ... perhaps not incredibly elegant, but very useful when you need both hands to applaud!). One last thing: the Grand is located in the heart of Frankfort's small but diverse downtown, which is overflowing with local businesses-- artists' and artisans' galleries, restaurants, cafés, and more. Leave yourself some time to enjoy the local color (and flavors!). We will definitely be returning to visit the Grand and Frankfort's vibrant little arts hub, and I recommend both. Whether you're coming from afar or on the briefest "staycation," the Grand is well worth the visit.

It tries to bring some culture to this little town and does a good job. A staff of helpful volunteers. No drinks in the theater depending on who is in charge...that needs to go and then they will get five stars. Prices for drinks and popcorn is very affordable comparatively.

History. Great entertainment. Seed winning movies. Children's programming. Need I say more?

Chels Springs

Nice theater and the prices are cheaper than that of the regular theaters. There is always some kind of show happening there.

Katy Doyle

Shows are always great but the chairs are horribly uncomfortable.

Mondragon Lady

Nice little venue for music, movies, plays and more! Historical building. You'll likely walk about a block from where you park unless you are lucky enough to get one of the few closest to the entrance. Wheelchair accessible.

John McClain

Nice place to see a show

Stephanie ossa

Great theatre. Needs more live music shows.

Angela Mitchekk

The "Who's Bad" - MJ Tribute Band was fantastic! One of my top performances at the Grand...and I've been watching shows here for 10 years now. Loved it and love the Grand Theatre! Frankfort is so fortunate to have it!

Steven Preda

Great venue with a lot of history

Jennifer Harris

Love the heart of this historic theatre. It's a great place to see a live show or movie.

Michael Dawes

I have yet to watch a movie here, but the live musical performances have been wonderful. Great atmosphere and acoustics. They serve beer as well. Staff were courteous.

Dave Reed's art gallery was best

Dan Bevington

An amazing piece of Downtown Frankfort and it's history. I have been to countless ballet recitals and a fantastic concert by local musician Ben Sollee. If you haven't been to the Grand Theater, you're missing out!

Mark Watkins

Love the ambiance of this historic theater that provides cultural, musical, theatrical, comical, & many other forms of entertainment to the capital city of the Commonwealth of Kentucky.

Not a bad seat in the house!

Jean Lucas

Had a great time at the Diamond Rio concert. Not a bad seat in the house.

Jenni

Seats are very tight. Concessions could use some help with planning and organization. I've seen some good shows there though. I just feel sorry for big folks. I have two male friends who can't go here because they can't fit in the seats. :(

Adam Lyons

Great acoustics; not a bad seat in the house
