Reviews of Piere's Entertainment Center (Night Club)

Trevor Holtgrave

It is not the same as it used to be. It has a bad history (drugs, violence, etc.) and it will take a long time for it get back to where it used to be. My suggestion...go elsewhere.

Shane Stumpff

Best place ever to see your favorite band play. Up close and personal the Pieres way. Amazing venue and do yourself a favor and go see a show there. Front row is easy to get and any spot is great. I have seen so many concerts there and I will keep on rocking at Pieres until the day I die. Thank you for bringing Pieres back. I am so grateful.

Ashley Hildenbrand

I love this venue because you can get up close and personal with the bands and it's an awesome experience!!

james hartlove

I saw bone thugs and harmony and it was over packed. It was a horrible show because the main group bone thugs came on so a very late that I had to leave because I was so tired of standing and waiting for the performance. Also they need to renovate the facility make it nicer

Chris C.

Cool spot to hang out. Great shows and bars for everyone.

Dustin Himes

Love this place for concerts

colt carroll

Trash service rude to customers

zumackis

Nice atmosphere and great music

Jason Vachon

Plenty of shootings and fights if you're into that? Maybe being roofied is your thing, then this is the place to be. Maybe you just want to ruin yours or someone else's relationship/marriage, yup this place can check that box too. Sorry but, you'll have to wait for them to reopen as they fix up the place since it was condemned by the city...

Alicia Strech

I've been seeing shows here for the last 13 years! I live 2 hours away but still visit here multiple times. Bars are unique, drinks are good. Shows are priced great and it's up close and personal.

Amy Clark

Saw Blue October on April 21st at Piere's & it was great. My 1st time at this venue & was so impressed. Plenty of space (even w/ that all the fans), acoustics were good, drinks were yummy, staff was friendly & the outdoor patio for smoking was fab! Definitely going back!

Jeff Brooks

Absolutely loved my experience here. I came from South Bend to watch Starset in concert. Affordable drinks, ample space and great music. Thanks for a great time!

James Owens

I drive from nw indiana to go see live concerts and i always have a good time. Even if i cant remember the next day...

Shannon Rockwood

Pieres is my favorite place of all time. Cheap tickets for shows. Always up close no matter where you at, and free shuttlebus to and from anywhere in Ft. Wayne

My husband and I were there for Bone Thugs N Harmony..I had call and talked to someone, also messaged someone on facebook to tell them I am a bilateral below the knee amputee and I wanted to know if there was any way of getting handicapped seating..I wasn't trying to get closer just because of my condition..I just wanted the same experience as everyone else and to be able to see. We got in line for about 5 minutes maybe and then one of the security guys came and got us and took us inside to another security guy who put us in a section to the side and we had a great view..but we were told by the second security guy that the tables were reserved and if the people who reserved them came and asked for their table, that we would have to move back (they never came and asked)..so we watched the acts before Bone Thugs came out..and as soon as they came out..everybody in that section rushed up to the gate and was standing (which I can not do) . We had asked the security guy that was standing there and he said "I'm sorry, there is nothing I can do.". So we waited and they never done a thing. So my husband asked to talk to the manager and he was told that the manager had already been called and she was on her way..20 minutes later we asked to talk to anybody else but security. My husband talked to a guy and told him what had happened and by the time that he was done talking to him..the concert was over. We paid to watch the back of other peoples head. I am disappointed, very upset, and I felt like whoever that security kid was could have cared less (he sure did like to shrug his shoulders and he stood there for probably 5 minutes watching 2 ladies arguing and didn't move until one of them were knocked on the floor and tipped over 2 tables and 2 chairs while spilling beer all over us).I had been to Piere's many times before becoming an amputee and I had an amazing time and I loved going, but not this time. I didn't appreciate how we were treated after being told MANY times not to worry because they would make sure we were taken care of once we got there and we obviously were not. So if that's how a handicapped person is going to be treated here..Im not sure I would want to come back to watch other people have a good time.

Michael Naish Jr

the venue is enormous...it is an entertainment complex. they had some decent craft beers. i would go back.

caleb57484

Love the metal shows!

Cardinals Fan 4Ever

Good music venue.

Armond Dowdell

Come check me out ya boy Mondo a.k.a Tha insane WangKang!!! as I chase my 3rd wingfest title....August 19th in the Piere's parking lot.

Rocky Bays

Love the set up. Great for concerts!

Jamie Enochs

Seather tore the roof off

Hailey Bauer

Went for Summer Slaughter and sound was so bad. I was beyond disappointed. Also wish the area for concerts was a little bigger. Hard to fit a bigger crowd (even though the crowd sucked lol). All in all not a bad place though! Will be back

Jose Espinoza

We had a great time seeing Bone Thugs & Harmony. I will definitely be looking to come back again

Mrs. Carla Gail Foster

Love the new look! Have big hopes for this place always. A huge staple in my mind for music!

Brian Dahl

Have not been here

Caitlyn Thurman

Small venue, but was defintley a close up and personal concert expiecence. Even though the security was a little frisky while coming into the venue. They need to get a metal detector or women security instead of grown men feeling under women's breast and butt cheeks. Other than that was a decent place. Could use some updating though!

Kyle Miller

Saw some good MMA fights.

Chris Storie

It was my very first concert ever, and it was my 2 favorite bands at the same show. Also featuring Bless the Fall, not a bad band at all, BTW.

Sabrena Bewley

Went to a concert here, was able to get right up to the stage. Security is friendly and efficient, unless you are causing a problem. Smoking is upstairs only, you could not reenter if you went outside. Restrooms were clean. There is more …

obzen33

Decent venue. Very intimate show experience with plenty of places to sit and have a nice view. Wish they had reentry.

Alicia Rose

Needs government be organized better. I got moved from 3 different lines. I just wanted to buy a ticket for the show! But they kept changing the lines and didn’t know which line was which. Overall wasn’t that great. I didn’t bother waiting in back of the third line I had to be moved to, so I went home and missed the band I wanted to see.

Abby Cox

Drove two hours, and payed 100 buck for two tickets to see nba young boy last night. Sadly me and my friends didn’t even get in until after the concert was over with. We arrived at pierces entertainment center at 9:30, waited in multiple different lines because they had no signs, or anyone directing people where to go. We did not get into the building until 2:00 am, and the concert was over so we just left. Also don’t forget! It was 30 degrees outside. The staff we’re not doing there job, sitting on the balcony above us taking videos and laughing at us while smoking. If you’re going to have a concert of this scale, you should be prepared for a large crowd and line and have back up plans if things Mess up or are going slow.I got robbed of my money and I want it Back. Very very disappointed and will never come back to this venue again unless things are straightened out. I hope to hear from a supervisor of some sort to settle this.

Traci Geller

It was a great club , it did need updates but changing the national , international known name was wrong and the new name is really blah , a 30 plus year venue didn't need a name change , I've spent many nights there and had a great time , seen nearly every band I've ever wanted there ,

Alexa Snyder

Would be fine for casual concerts, an odd building set-up for shows. Like a hallway.

Courtney Knisley

Better than ever.

DKing Killa

NICE VENUE SPOT TO HOST EVENT.. HOLDS AT LEAST 2000 PPL PACKED WALK TO WALL ONE FOR THE RECORD BOOKS!!!

Mary

went there and saw black veil brides in May of 2018 it's a nice little cozy place

John P

Can't get tickets to an upcoming show. Place they say sells them doesn't have them .Not available on ticketweb site. Can't get a hold of anyone at pieres and no response.

Lisa Lewis

CLOSED!! Drove by the building today and there are signs in the windows stating “space available”

Brian Alexander

Small venue but good if that's what you're into. Friendly staff and multiple bars for quick service. No smoking inside the establishment but not a problem with their outside patio that is smoker friendly.

Southwest Avocado

Was there with my daughter to see Blessthefall, Asking Alexandria and the Black Veil Brides. Had a great time, everyone (the staff) was very helpful and friendly. Would definitely come back. We drove here from Pittsburgh as our flight got cancelled the evening before the concert. Stayed at the Holiday Inn, a short drive away. You should pair up with the Holiday Inn for out of town guests. Would recommend Pierre’s for a great time.

Dominic Seven

Kind of want to say it's washed up but I haven't been there in a while but they do get some big Headliners there we'll see if they can compete with Clyde theater

Problematic Equestrian

This is the perfect venu to see bands and have an overall wonderful experience

Orbital HB

if you have an issue with vaping kys

James Gommel

My fiance and I recently saw SIXX A.M. here. I have never been to this venue prior to this. It could use some updating, but the sounds was great, beverages were not too over-priced. The staff could be a bit friendlier, but overall - great experience.

Mike Laplume

Immensely rude mployees. Too many uptight rules. Will never go again.

Victor Arnett

Not enough security. There was a fight on the concert floor and they couldn't stop it so the fight continued. I'm serious.

mike macgregor

First time coming to Piere's for a show and let me tell you, I've seen all types of venues. If you're going for the music, I think it's a decent place to see a show. The house specs are decent and the equipment looks and sounded professional. Those same people continued inside. I took an aluminum beer bottle to the back of the head, and the floor was littered with cans and trash. If you're going for the food or the alcohol, I can't really comment. However my overall experience was pretty poor. The line queue time was horrendous for a venue this small. It took over 30 minutes to get inside, and it was around 25 degrees outside. Not pleasant. Also, as rock shows tend to do, many unpleasant, loud, drunk people outside. This also continued inside with overly intoxicated adults, beer cans being thrown, trash being discarded on the floor of the concert area. Just an overall trashy experience. People vaping all over the place... it was just an overall trashy experience. If you're looking for a cheap night or just an average show, I guess it works. I like to have a little higher class, which is why I normally avoid places that don't separate the concert floor from the bar. Security looked good and kept everyone safe. Nice to see proactive enforcement.

Tanya Marlana Cook Twomey Giroux

Awesome for live music and atmosphere!

Brian Benton

Pretty cool place for a concert, I like the set up they have and the staff is friendly

Roxie Valentine

Loved it. Other than the cold long wait outside.

Michelle Morrisey

Saw PUDDLE OF MUD!!!

Bob Valdez

A great place to listen to live music

Hamilton Baker

My daughter and two of her friends went to the Youngboy show and couldn't get inside because there were no employees managing the entrance. Got stuck outside with tons of other people. When they finally found an employee there were told they would not get refunds. This place is a joke.

Roberto De Jesus

It is what it is... Nice to have some name brand musicians come through and throw a good party...

Ashley Kaufman

I use to go to pieres all the time for concerts... went to bone thugs last night and I was extremely disappointed with that place.. first off they told us absolutely no purses... what are women suppose to do with all there stuff? Then we get inside and I see a ton of purses everywhere... they had all the other clubs closed... so only 2 bars opened and only 2 bathrooms for all those people... so the wait for drinks took over 45mins.. ridiculous

David Howard

This place has gone downhill in the last 5-10 years...it used to be much nicer!

Grant Rine

Good sound guys and staff. Just don’t like the bar.

Rex Mercer

This is a great place to see live bands up close and have a great time. Anyone in the area needs to stop out for a concert show.

Lori Eisenman

Awesome place saw papa roach and mudvayne here

Donna Sedar

We ( my sons and I ) drove down from northern Illinois to see Social Distortion at Piere's - it was like a blast from the past partying upclose and frontrow with Mike Ness and the boys!!! "Diamond in the Rough" one of Ft. Waynes greatest assets which hopefully will continue to draw crowds and do what it does best- mix great musicians with their fans ... we will be back- thanks Pieres !!

Brenda Padgett

Great music concerts, Reasonable priced Alcohol!

Karma Baker

DO NOT GO HERE! Waited outside in 30 degree weather from 10pm-2am for the NBA YoungBoy concert last night. No one was working the doors or giving any information in general. We had to move lines 4 times because we were “in the wrong one”. Along with a bunch of others who also paid to watch the show, we had to try and get in one small door. Security was refusing to help, being extremely rude, most were just standing around smoking cigarettes and letting one security guard try to run the whole entrance. We didn’t get into the venue until after the show was completely over. They denied us refunds. There was NOT a mob. Maybe if workers were guiding people into lines or even slightly communicating with us there wouldn't have been a problem. Yes people are going to get mad when they pay over $300 to see a concert and don't get in because you guys can't do your jobs correctly

Sandy Beck

Big Douche at the door totally ruins the VIP experience. He needs to learn to be respectful to ones who have never had a VIP experience and explain how it all works.

Carolyn Fakhfakh

It is closed shame was a happening place at one time

Brandon Rober

Watered down drinks

Peg Dafforn-Rader

Fund raising is the best way you can celebrate!

Victoria Strayer

I was told to pick up Will Call tickets after 5, but they did not even start letting people in until after 6. This would not be a problem if weather wasn't a problem.The show was to be an all ages concert, but after my experience here I would never bring a teenager to this venue. I had more drinks spilled on me in one night than I had my entire life (and I don't drink.) The staff was polite, and the concert area was close enough to really experience the concert. Not too bad of a venue if you're going with another adult, but I would never encourage it for a minor!

Morgan Felkner

Is slowly increasing in quality. Some scheduling errors, lack of direction for the business, and could do way more than they do currently but they have a good start for the transition from Piere's to The Hub.

Steve Handlin

Many hours of great concerts with awesome friends

Sweetie Joy

Great concert Amorphis thank you for coming to the USA!! Great team helped us get what we wanted Tolkiien Family had a blast!!

Phil Moore

Needs some work. I hope there is enough capital to bring it back to it's former condition.

J Y

A bit rundown looking but overall a good concert venue

Christopher Koble

Good concerts, the booze is cheaper then most concert laces

Zorina Moorman

Went for a show and it was great! Wonderful venue

Alexia Ross

Paid $90 to see youngboy. got there over an hour early just to be told i was in the wrong line (literally five lines). had to go all the way to the back. doors didn’t open at 10:30. waited in line till 12:30 (not even inside yet) and found out youngboy was already on stage. mind you it was 30 degrees outside. never coming back.

Hall Enochs

Saw All Time Low there April 6th. Slightly small and crammed in the floor area but over all a great experience, immersive.

Donald Davis

It's like five clubs in one they even got a sports bar in the back I love pierres great atomesphere great club I go every time I'm in Fort Wayne

Solid Snake

Sound was amazing that night

Elvis S.

As a bus driver I had plenty of parking, no shore power, and they put bike rack up so no one could get near our vehicles. Lots of hands on duty for us, seemed like great people, and the venue looked cool. I didn't see the show of course.

Casey Cook

i'm only 24 and this place has gone so far down hill since I was 21 lol..

Jordan Martz

Left my concert tickets at home and the staff was very accommodating in helping me to replace them at no extra cost!

Snake561822

the show was really good but security was really kind of rude they said i was 12 and said do i live with my mommy im 25 they did not have to say that

Chuck DeMoss

Great little venue. They have big name bands perform there regularly like Seether.

Sam Deal

Great place with great sound. I have not seen a bad show yet.

Mike Cunningham

Craphole. Filthy. Lousy music. Lots of drug deals going on. Sleazy crowd.

Justin Walters

Great place to see bands up close.

hdezelia1

I was here for a concert venue. The tickets purchased said that it was for all ages, but the entertainment was more suitable for 17+. Also, no water available and if you're short, you'll have to arrive very early to either be at front stage or sit in the loft to be able to enjoy the show. Also, Black Veil Brides needs better mics (or the venue) so you can hear the artists over the instrumentals.. otherwise a spectacular performance of Andy Biersack! This venue is ideal for the jumping and dancing during concert, but not ideal for actually enjoying performances. They need a tv monitor!!
