A nice and cool (literally) auditorium that has bare seating. Clean Toilets and good space around the auditorium - though parking slots are extremely limited.The Air-conditioning worked perfectly and so did the audio system. We had a memorable evening watching Chocolate Krishna by Crazy Creations.Ticketing was a breeze - there was a small counter manned by a gentleman and you pay cash. Sorry no credit/debit cards or other electronic form of payments at the counter.There is small snack outlet selling popcorn, Tetra-packaged drinks, water and other small snacks. Beware a ₹ 10 bottle is sold at ₹ 15.Overall a nice place to enjoy a show or two with your family and friends. Yes, get as much people as possible so the fun is multiplied.
Need better speaker system and more car parking
I watched ponniyin selvan drama here. Decent place to be frank, enough space for 2 wheeler parking. If you are going by a four wheeler , then you need to park on the road side.They do have well cleaned rest rooms, mini snack stall.Only con is the plastic chairs, which will hurt you for dramas which is for more than 2 hours.
Nice Auditorium with Air conditioning and good sound systems, seating arrangements are not very good for viewing Drama shows as the stepwise increase is not very adequate for the rear seats. This does not matter for music concerts. Not much place for car parking. Can park cars, in side roads or better to take cab.
Spacious hall for functions...school programs music... Dance...nice
Nice place for Carnatic music events and dramas,one of the old sabha buildings of Chennai
Yaaah The place was gud the auditorium also good👍🏼
It has an good environment with much amount of AC, we can plan some events, Meetings, etc....
Awsome!!❤Really enjoyed alot😍🥰
Went there to eat in was the catering during Dec17th till jan 2nd.. No Festivals in Mylapore fine Arts during covid. Hence tasted food. Just average. Not much to explain. But place was clean and neat. Served well with all covid norms followed.
MFAC venue without December kutcheri. The private canteen put up by Sastha caterer is offering Snacks n Tiffin varities. Lot of choice but prices are very expensive. Tough to attract customers at this expensive prices.. can be visited only once.
Nice actually great place for performance added to Margahazi nostalgia.
Been there for sabha canteen. A good one though.
Good morning friend
Very fine meeting hall for delivering lectures and conducting. Dramas / Music performance. Seats are fine. Neatly maintaining the club. If more number of VIPs come to this club, their cars will have to be parked on one side of road in front of club.
Very nice Auditorium, still preserved in the old heritage. As this is a old concert hall, the parking facility is small.The hall is very clean with good Air-condition. Yes, the seats are bit old but we go here to enjoy the performance and not for seating comforts
I attended my accounts classes at this place for a year. Earlier Prime academy used to conduct their classes here. After recent renovation, chairs have been replaced and overall look is also changed. Located just beside St.Isabel hospital. But this place is on one way road. Around 1000 people could be accommodated those days.
Absolutely cute concert hall.Gives sufficient ambience for enjoying a music concert. Good location.☁😊 But they could do better as options are open.
A very well known spot for its music events. A regular haunt for the rasikas(fans) of Carnatic music during the December Chennai music season. Acoustics are good, and there is some amount of parking available, but the lighting inside could be more lively, and the seats feel aged. There is much to be done to spruce the place up, but it still remains a prime hub for cultural events in the area
Renewed place. After renewal it is air-conditioned. Good place to conduct events.Sound system, lighting, decoration all are good.Chairs are not comfortable. They should have removed those old model chairs & furnished with new furniture which can give comfort & can enjoy the event happily.No canteen is available.Easily identifiable place in moderate traffic.
Average seating and facility. Need to improve seating, parking and facilities.
Old seats and really hurts when we sits more than 1hour.
Old place but well maintained with air conditioning along with good sound systems... Nice place for drama arangetram and music stuffs
Only two wheeler can be parked. Chairs inside the auditorium is so bad and it should be cleaned and maintained properly. Air conditioning is very nice. Its cool and good spacious inside the hall. The stage is enough for a mini concert to take place. Good
One of the well known and older auditorium meant for promoting cultural activities at Chennai. Situated on busy two way wide road. Hall is air-conditioned. Only limited parking available. The auditorium is visible from the vehicles on the main road. Neatly maintained.
Last day of Sapaad. Little crowded.
Located in a central area near Isabel and has a good seating arrangement for the audience. Could be better if seating is in a stepped manner which would help children to see the stage easily. Has parking area but wont accommodate a very huge crowd coming in cars. Has sufficient area for bike parking and a canteen to fill our stomach.
A good place with standard sitting arrangements. Quality of sound should be improved, currently it is just loud speakers. A decent place for small functions. Very small parting for four wheeler, better to be prepared for no parking. The adjacent road is one way, with no formal parking lot nearby, though the organizers directed all to park their cars on the pavement.
Renowned old theatre. Love to go there. But aesthetics and acoustics take a back seat. Definite need for improvement.
The canteen is functional...lovely food
Iconic place for theatre artists where many dramas are staged.Recently air-conditioned.Only drawback is the chairs which are not comfortable.Car Parking is another issue.Good for dramas but acoustic not suitable for music concerts (especially western)
I went there for the food. It was delicious as always. Food will be available during the music season in December. So watch out for this place during that time.
Nice auditorium. Good seating arrangements. Effective sound systems. Well maintained rest rooms. Wheel chair accessible entrance. There is no refreshments stall in side the auditorium.
Has been completely renovated. Is Air-conditioned now. Has a good parking lot and is accessible easily. Sound is just fine, but not at all bad. Overall, a very decent and a good place
Its amazing, but depends on who is performing
Good place to listen to carnatic music live programs..Only negative is there is no parking and since it is close to Isabella street parking is also very tough..
Canteen is run by Meenambiga caterers. It may have split into Baskaran Meenambiga and Sreeram Meenambiga caterers. Now, Sabha was run by Baskaran Meenambiga caterers. Baskarans uncles are the famous ‘Gnanambiga’ Jayaraman, and ‘Arusuvai’ Natarajan. They say that their Speciality is Tiffin and not lunch and that in evenings their Kozhukattai and Vadai sell well.Items to try:The Hindu recommends Sardaar Vadai (Potato and Sago), Sevais, Ammini Kozhukattai, Paruppusili Kozhukattai, Keerai Vadai, Kuzhi Paniyaram, PUDINA CHUTNEY, PONGAL-SAMBAR.Experiment with Mini Idly-Morkozhambu.Mukasash recommends:MEDHU VADAI, KASI HALWA is a stunner. GHEE ROAST was awesome in 2017. (In 2016, it was quite good). PONGAL was quite tasty in 2016 and 2018 and the quantity is quite generous. POORI MASALA was tasty but oily in 2016 and good in 2018. ASHOKA HALWA was quite good in 2016, 2018 but Sasthalayas version is better. Idly, Coffee were also good.LBB recommends their Elai Sappadu Meals lunch, Sambar Vadai and their payasam.
This is one the premier club with a decent auditorium located in mylapore . This club has been active since 60s. Supports Carnatic music and dance performance s .
In the heart of Mylapore near St Isabels hospital. Favourite place for dance arangetrams ,dramas, cutcheris- heartbeat of Mylaporeans. But a good eating joint is missing. Thaligai opp to Nageswara Park is good but somewhat costly.
Comfortable air conditioned venue. Decent acoustics. Clean restrooms.
Good intention of promoting start ups,
Its good but since there is no proper inclination in the seating area viewing the artist on stage especially when they are seated is difficult. Also to get out during a program, if one is seated in the middle, one has to inconvenience the rest of the people in the row to get out. They could have left a gap after say every 10 rows or so for easy movement. Understand this will bring down the seating capacity of the hall
The new changes to the auditorium has reduced the reverberation which used to be profound in the earlier design but the new venue has lost its iconic appearance.
The Hall was well maintained. And it was very good watching drama there. Experienced my first drama here and liked it.
A good place which is a cradle which preserves the culture and heritage. With aircomditionimg, the hall is a favourite. Good sound system is an added feather in the cap
Visited this place for my childs school annual day function. It is one for the oldest art performing club in Chennai where my wife during her childhood performed Bharatanatyam dance ;)Now its air-conditioned and well maintained. Toilets were also clean. Except for the parking space, all amenities were good
The new and renovated MFAC has improved acoustics and air conditioned ambience for experiencing some wonderful performances!
Typical Mylapore! Value for money space for cultural entertainment. Typical middle class. Functional seating. Functional A.C. Please come by bus / auto. Or Ask your cousin to drop/pick up - because no parking space. You can also have your keera vadai and filter coffee.
Maintain toilets properly
Chennai is the bestest city to learn, enjoy Carnatic music. Mylapore Fine Arts, is one the hall to enjoy arts and music ❤️
Well maintained place. Decent experience viewing a drama right from the last row in the hall. Good air-conditioning even with a fully packed hall.
Best place. Prime Academys accounting classes were excellent here. Felt very free and fresh.
This is one of the best fine arts clubs in chennai. Especially for karnatic music lovers, this place is well suited for them. The stage and the speaker systems are good to hear high quality music. Best musicians are called on regularly. Especially in the week ends and in the month of Margazhi ie. December and january special music events are planned and conducted regularly. Enough and well organized seeting arrangements with great air-conditioning arrangements are there here. A canteen is also available inside the club itself. Such a nice place to visit here to listen a high quality music and you will get a great devotional experience.
Now it is a food spot (until 2021 Jan 3)
Attended lectures of Sreeram academy for five days at this venue . The program was in April month .The air conditioning was so poor , they have a capacity of 500+ but have 10 split Acs which is approximately one AC for 50people and also half of them won’t work .The AC was not able to cover the huge auditorium with no flow of air .They won’t put the fans and lie saying we have voltage issuesPathetic place where it was sweating and suffocating like crazy due to poor ventilation and no air .But apart from the AC I have nothing else to complain. Good stage well maintained rest rooms and good parking for bikes .Avoid booking your program here during summer
Nice atmosphere. Place were clean and neat. Attended for a tamil play event. Over all good experience.
I had been there for a Play presented by Theatre Marina. It is centrally located. This December season this place would be very busy with music concerts. It gives opportunity for budding artists.
Great location. We visit the place as Karthik Fine Arts programs are held there.Has limited parking spaces inside. Sound systems are decent and air conditioning is good.
Good place ! My little one enjoyed the Bharathanattiyam concert ☺️
Compact and well maintained. Music & art lovers paradise. Festive peak in December & January every year.
Mylapore Fine Arts club is one of the oldest music clubs in Chennai. It is more than 60 years old and the state of the hall shows that. Even though air conditioning has been installed recently the seats have no cushion and are far from comfortable.
Very nice air conditioned rooms..... Very vast and comfortable 💺seating.... The only disadvantage here is very bad way of managing restroom.... It in insufficient for such a large crowd
It is a vintage place . I feel sad that the old ambience has been replaced by technology. The air conditioners have taken over whereas those days natural aeration gave the perfect atmosphere for traditional concerts
I Loved This Wonderful Place Totally!!!..I need to speak at least once in this club that is what my short term goal...And I am waiting for that wonderful moments actually!!!.........
I visit every month to attend humour club programmes and I enjoy the atmosphere
This place is well set for classical performance of dancers and musicians. This place is neither too fancy nor too ordinary, it is apt for art lovers. I would definitely recommend this place to for future dance performances. The only con is the parking, which is constrained due to location.
Good place. Car parking is a great difficulty. I have gone their for a magic showShow was good.
Good auditorium. Easily accessible from main road.
9ots kits liked this placeEvery problem create old memories rember that placeThat place special human resources value and awareness program very famous
Nice structure and space is also good but seating shall be improved and Rest rooms are some what unhygienic
Traditional and time bound place for arts...
Sound system good. Seating ok.AC good. No parking.
Very comfortable place for conducting dramas and theatrical performances. Can accomodate around 500 audiences with better view for them.
One of the oldest fine art club, now centralised. Enjoyed the event.
Nice VenueGreat place for hosting art EventsNorrow road to park vehicles
Seating not very convenient as all seats from front to back are at same level
One of the old world sabha venues. Audio must improve.
A decent AC auditorium for cultural activities in the heart of south Indian cultural capital. Huge capacity. Limited car park.
Great atmosphere to enjoy classical arts. Very good acoustics, lighting and comfortable ambience.
Parking available. Seats were uncomfortable. Play by THE mahendran was good.
They have a closed audi with decent acoustics. No more no less.
