Cone Denim Entertainment Center

A decent place for live music. The capacity is pretty tight, though, which explains why they tend to bring in cover bands and the occasional comic.
Kind of strange seeing two GSO police officers manning the door. Seems like a tremendous waste of resources to have the police checking concert tickets.
The bar is inviting but way overpriced. I strongly suggest pregaming before going to this venue.
The acoustics were fine.
Overall a nice venue for live music. Now, if they can only bring in some original acts…

The place was smaller than I imagined. It was nice, though, because we could see and hear everything pretty well. It is standing room only, but you can rent a table for $ 10. It was worth it! They have a bar area, not sure how pricing is, I imagine like a regular bar. I would definitely go back and see another show. There were also tables up in the balcony.

Had my first visit here last night all thanks to Unilocal events!
I love how they have remodeled from previous tenants. Industrial/​rustic type atmosphere. The auditorium can be customized for any even from cocktail tables to standing room only. They have balcony/​pew seating on second level. And they have a lounge to order drinks.
Parking available is street parking or nearby parking deck.
Security was good but not overbearing.
Sound quality to my taste was good, not extremely loud but very clear.
Look forward to my next event here.

Greensboro needed a great venue like Cone Denim to see bands up close and personal. The original National Theater has been transformed to a great entertainment space for live music and other performers. The lower section is an open floor for general admission. There are a few bistro tables and chairs, but for the most part it’s a club atmosphere with standing room only. The balcony features reserved seats. TV’s of the stage are all over the place offering a second option for watching the show.
Cone has beer and wine and at least in the balcony section, wait service so you don’t have to leave your seat for a drink.
The sound is very good, though it was a little louder than I’d like in the balcony. It seems the closer to the front you are in the balcony the better the sound is.
CDEC is hooked up with the House Of Blues tour circuit which brings great acts to town. I’m looking forward to seeing many more bands here!

I recently saw Sleeping with Sirens here and this venue was perfect! Even though it was sold out, the place wasn’t overly packed like you’ll find with a lot of smaller venues. I would definitely return for a future show!
