The Lobero is right in downtown SB and is a fun plqce to see live shows. It feels like an old theater, a little dog earred with a lot of charm. I have been a couple times to see dance and the stage accomodates modern dance well. Most recently, I had come to SB to see Keigwin and Company perform... More

Saw "Sound City" here during the Santa Barbara Film Festival 2013, and have to say the sound and the image were great. I have not seen live music here, but I suspect it is a great sounding room. Smaller and tighter than the Arlington. There are no concessions or food of any kind, so eat before you come! Friendly staff... More

We live in Santa Barbara and my only regret is that we don't get to visit the Lobero more often. It's a lovely venue with every seat being a good seat. My only thought would be that it suffers from the same affliction every theater in America has, too little leg room. Other than that, fabulous in every way.

A beautiful, old world, intimate, cozy theater where you can spend time with the best of touring national and international performers from jazz, rock, opera, theater, comedy, lectures etc

The Tuesday CAMA concerts are amazing, they have had Lang-Lang and many other stellar classical performers. I have seen several Beethoven piano concertos performed there. Really good acoustics and caring people.

It used to be the place where our "Civic Light... More

This is a grand old theater. There is not a bad seat in the house. The seats are a bit small and not a lot of leg room for 6'4". They have wonderful shows and concerts here, and there are lots of fine restaurants within walking distance.

Never disappointed! Seats comfortable and viewing good where ever you sit! Parking sometimes a little difficult if not there early enough, but good eats nearby!
