Malkin Bowl

Beautiful venue right in the middle of stanley park. Entrance was quick and line up for drinks, although big, was very orderly and moved fairly quick. Came to see Nora en Pure and hope to be back soon. Venue has a hard cut off at 10pm which is a bummer, but we’ll work with what we have.

A great place for a play. Stanley Park is nice to walk around before the show. Come early and have a picnic on the grass. Don't forget to bring your bug spray and a sweater it gets cool after the sun goes down.

Love this venue! Small but just enough space. Makes for a very intimate concert. I've seen a few concerts here, most recent being the Sheepdogs! The only thing I don't like is the drink system with the tickets. It doesn't take too long to go through the lineup but still sort of strange to get into two lineups.

This was a great venue, we saw Lane 8 here. The line up was long to get in which I think was a product of the show being a no video show. The drink line up was a little bit long at times but generally flowed fairly well. The venue did a fantastic job of illuminating the trees creating an intimate venue. Would not hesitate to come back for a show in the future.

Such a fun venue!! Dress appropriately tho - it can get cold after the sun goes down.

A unique viewing experience and definitely worth trying out. I found myself wishing the lights were brighter and the sound louder. But it’s well set up with bar and portable washrooms. If walking from the city, you get to enjoy the rose garden and Lost Lagoon too, which is always nice.

Don't get me wrong, the Malkin Bowl is a gorgeous outdoor concert venue and is visually stunning, especially as the sun sets while you're watching your favorite musicians. However, I'm giving the company behind the venue a 3 star review, because management needs to step their game up on behalf of ticket holders to provide a more efficient way for people to buy booze. Some people could end up paying upwards of $150 for a ticket for this venue. Shows typically start at 6PM and end at 10PM, and time passes by so quickly. Patrons shouldn't need to wait 30+ minutes in the booze line up, to pay for overpriced drinks $9 for 5 or 6 ounces of beer or wine, while they're missing out on the music. The kicker is that each person is only allowed to buy 2 drinks at a time, but they allow you to buy as many drink tickets as you want. But because of the nature of their space and the amount of time for the show, along with how they've set up the drink line up, it's practically impossible to get more than 4 drinks without missing out on the entire concert. I found that the staff was relatively rude here. I don't blame them too much, as the processes in place, along with strict rules on what people can or can't do during the event, make for a difficult work environment.

Nice place to watch the theatre. Next time I'll bring a beach blanket so that I can sit on the grass and enjoy the performance and eat without feeling guilty I'm making too much noise. Highly recommended!

Fantastic show and Malkin Bowl is such a beautiful spot to enjoy some theatre. If you have not done this I recommend you look into booking one of the TUTS show. I saw Something Rotten. It was so much fun and well done. I hear We will Rock You is great too.

My wife and I attend Theatre Under The Stars every year we can, the Malkin Bowl is an excellent venue. Seating is comfortable and there are a lot of really great seats. The productions are always great, and we always leave smiling, having enjoyed ourselves.
