Came to see Henry Cho on October 2nd. First time visiting the Paramount, We think it was an absolutely fabulous theater, lots of charm. They advertised many movies and a lot of performances that we will definitely return to see.
This theater is absolutely amazing...built back in the 1930s it's an icon of the Bristol Community...they have hosted countless events and shows and had major movie stars. Hometown charm everyone was so polite and helpful the staff was nothing but amazing. we couldn't have asked for a better venue to host our event. Thank you to everyone involved. I would recommend to anyone who wants to host an event or if you want to see any of the events that Paramount Bristol is hosting
Great nostalgic venue with about 750 seats available for a concert. Pics provided are taken from the back row, center. Comfortable seating. Concessions and bathrooms are well maintained. Highly recommend attending shows here!
The theater is amazing, very beautiful. The staff was so nice and helpful. We saw Josh Blue and he was so funny, I would go back every week if possible.
