tripadvisorAs a Art Deco fan, I was eager to see this theatre. I took BART. Use the 20th & Broadway exit up from where the train drops you off and you're right across the street. Some parts around here can be sketchy. Great tour and guide. He did try to equate the economic situation of 1931 to today which is ridiculous - guess he had touch of TDS. But great guide nonetheless.
MoreThis is an enormous theater built during the era of movie palaces. It is used as a performing arts center and can hold thousands of people. The interior has an Egyptian theme and is in art deco style. Come see a show here.
MoreThe Paramount building is a great old structure tire with an amazing facade. It truly is an utterly unique building and dates back in time.
MoreTony Toni Tone was everything! I flew in on three planes to see them!!! The concert didn’t disappoint! Omgggg. I had to see them in their hometown. I really enjoyed myself.
MoreLovely venue, but terrible service. We saw Taylor Tomlinson a few weeks ago - with the operative word being saw. The audio mix was so poorly done that we could hear less than 50% of her words. I looked around and saw that our neighbors were experiencing the same problem, straining to hear the show. We posted two messages to their contact-email, but the Paramount management didn't bother to reply. Next time, we'll wait for the Netflix special.
