ADA ACCESSIBLE – PARTIAL
ELEVATOR: Enter the street entrance for The Rockwell / Saloon – Before going down the stairs, THERE IS A DOOR ON THE RIGHT that says “ELEVATOR ENTRANCE” in small white letters. Enter into the mailroom and there is an elevator. Take that to “B” for BASEMENT. Proceed out of the white and wood foyer past the coat racks to the HOST STAND. Proceed right for The Rockwell and left for Saloon.
RESTROOMS: There is access to a full size restroom in Saloon from The Rockwell. Proceed to the Rockwell Ticket Booth and a Rockwell Employee will assist. When you leave The Rockwell, five feet past the Ticket Booth, is a door that says “EMPLOYEES ONLY.” Proceed through and there are larger restrooms to the right.
SEATING: The seating is raked, as in, there are three rows of seats with steps between each one. On the floor of The Rockwell, there is plenty of space for wheelchairs and a Rockwell employee can provide a seat for an accompanying attendee. For seated performances, viewing is unobstructed. Unfortunately, for standing music performances, viewing is obstructed.
BE AWARE OF SCAMS
We do not accept third-party tickets.
We use OpenDate, SeeTickets, and occasionally Eventbrite. We will not ask you to confirm information, unless from a @rockwell.org account.
BOX OFFICE
We do not have a box office to buy tickets in advance — yet! But rest assured that the online fees go to paying graphic designers, buying ink, paper, printing posters, and more! Thank you for your understanding and support.

Coat Check
Unfortunately, we do not have a coat check or bag check. There is space for your bag/coat by your seat. Please note: Any bags may be inspected upon entry to ensure safety.
