Great old theater, good accoustics, and seating line sights are pretty good. Very efficient for crowds entering and leaving. Good parking immediately behind on Anacapa Street, they have a parking special for events for $5.00 and worth it.
The Granada Theater went through a complete renovation a few years back. The privately owned, (non-profit), theater group did an excellent job of restoration and have created a lovely 1550 seat theater. Worth visiting for any style of production.
Great renovation, this place is a wonderful Santa Barbara cultural center. Acoustic is great, We are lucky to have such a variety of performances!
It's old, yes, but it has a great deal of charm and character. Yes, the prices are a bit high for the average person, but it is a joy to see a show or performance in this space. Do not expect modern amenities, but that what makes the Granada special.
Had a great time. The concern had a great mix of music. Hollywood, Broadway, Classical, Seasonal, and Patriotic were all covered.
This carefully restored theatre is a work of art and has great acoustics. We've sat in several different locations and the sound has always been very good. It's not huge so it provides an intimate feel for what's going on on-stage.
We've been to The Granada on several occasion. We like the types of performances the venue books. It's a beautiful building with terrific architecture and style. And it's not too large. There is plenty of nearby parking, although the lot behind the facility can be a challenge to exit after performances. And the place is located on State Street, so...

We have seen a few shows here. Its such a trip back in time. I love every opportunity we get to go to the Granada :)
It feels amazing to put on a suit and go watch a play or opera at the Granada, you feel like a big deal! The place breathes history and it's beautiful, the remodeling looks amazing. The Marquee is the bar to the right of Granada and it's a great bar for a get together before or after a play there!
