The State Theatre Sky Suite is the best way to experience our live shows in a private setting for you and your party.  The suite was renovated from the venue's original projection room from its movie theater days of the 30's to a spacious suite with a large panoramic opening that looks out on the entire room. The room holds up to 20 guests and is a perfect option for birthdays, bachelor(ette) parties, anniversaries, or for fans who just enjoy the space away from the crowd but still want to watch the show.
If you're interested in renting the suite, please email SkySuite@TheStateTheatre.com

The State Theatre is general admission. Your ticket gets you access to standing areas on the main level, a seat in the balcony (which are available on a first come, first serve basis), or at any UNRESERVED, open tables, in the dining area. 

DINING RESERVATIONS:
If you would like to guarantee a seat for the evening, we do take dining reservations for most of our shows.  Reservations are $12/pair and there is a $10/person food minimum at all dining tables (Beer is not food.  Neither is an appletini, or any other alcohol).  Tables may be reserved as soon as tickets for a show are on sale, and we stop taking reservations at 5 p.m. the day before the show. 

We are currently rolling out our online reservation feature which will allow customers to make dining reservations while they purchase tickets online. This feature is currently available for some recently announced shows. For all other shows, you can make a reservation by calling the box office at 703-237-0300 or stopping by in person.  We are located at 220 N Washington St in Falls Church.  Box office hours are 12pm - 6pm Mon - Saturday and 12pm - 10pm on shownights.
Half of our dining tables are set aside for reservations, the other half are available on a first come, first serve basis starting at door time.

So many great things!
