Delightful, intimate show this evening, and yet all throughout the performance the explosive, disruptive Dyson hand dryers positioned riiight outside the hall entrance (with no doors to close) kept interrupting every song multiple times. Pretty F'ing disrespectful to your artists, let alone paying guests.

Beautiful venue and great staff! We travelled from Fredericton, New Brunswick to go to How Did This Get Made on October 18th.The venue has such a classic feel to it. Reminded me of the Capitol Theatre in Moncton.Great staff and beautiful venue!

This is a cool venue, a little dated, but they have good shows so we're willing to deal with whatever comes to us there, especially since the pricing is usually reasonable.

I have seen numerous concerts at this venue and have enjoyed myself every time. The staff is fantastic, and the atmosphere/decor of this old venue is stunning. I'm grateful that this place is still running and bringing great bands for people to enjoy!!

Great small venue in the heart of Portland. Bathrooms are a bit sketchy but plenty of places to either stand or sit depending on the mood. I do wish they offered free wifi as there is no re-entry and in case of emergencies, you cannot make a call out. Wonderful place though all around!

Beautiful old theater. Food and full bar that is open for every show. Reasonable prices and amazing staff. Street parking is free after 6 but there is also a parking garage at the nearby hotel.

Demetri Martin was absolutely hilarious! This venue is beautiful. Great little spot in town. The interior was beautiful. The seats were comfortable. We were in the orchestra, and it was amazing.

Went to see Yes. Two women who were in front of us kept closing the space between them so my partner couldn’t see. An angry altercation ensued, mostly on my part, because they just carried on doing it. People around were getting hostile to us, my partner felt unsafe so we left.Most of the people we have met in Portland have been wonderful and I trust that those people in the theatre are not a true reflection of the people from here. We were in Orchestra 3 in the hall, and I hope that if anyone reads this and recognises themselves in this account that they feel ashamed that they helped spoil what had been a pretty good day in Portland.

Worst experience. Ben folds was great sadly couldn't hear him over the Dyson hand driers from open door bathrooms. All concert long. But wait it gets worse they sell popcorn in the loudest crackling material and the people behind me should get a refund since never listened or sang over him. Oh..make sure you are there 2 hours early to find a parking and sadly Portland doesn't feel safe. Never again. Ben folds was great what I could hear of him.

I've been here for a monumental number of metal concerts. Drinks are fine, security is fine etc etc. I went last night for a comedy show, everything was well and good as usual except the whole place reeked like a public restroom. Then the actual public restrooms were gross, which I know to expect at a venue in general, but it really was particularly bad.

Excellent place to see a concert. Not a bad seat even in the upper balcony.

Absolutely loved this venue!!! Being at a metal show there was like being at a high school battle of the bands or talent show except the sound quality was on point! It was so cool! Took me way back!

I love going to shows at the state theater. Security is always friendly. The bands I see are great live. I hope to see many more shows there soon

This first time at the State theatre was excellent. The concert was fantastic and I was lucky to have chosen to sit up in the balcony by the exit, which the staff kept cracked for a cool breeze! The theatre is beautiful it was an experience???❤️
