Wonderful Venue. First time to visit here. Came to see Dwight Yoakam. Opening act started 20 minutes late, which pushed Dwight Yoakam's start time to 9:20 (8 pm concert). Yoakam is a wonderful musician and continues to have a terrific voice and library of songs to draw from. We particularly enjoyed his acoustic guitar led numbers, as his electric guitar numbers were cranked up so loud that the sound drowned out his singing and produced a jumbled Cacaphony of noise instead of reflecting the excellent musicianship in his band and his singing. We left a little early because of this and encountered

Decent enough venue.
Came here for a documentary as part of the Napa Valley Film Festival.
The theatre is just outside of Yountville and is just a little far to walk to.
Parking is a bit of a walk away from the theatre itself but was plentiful.
Inside it's not the prettiest of buildings but good site lines from all the downstairs seats. Seats are comfortable enough .
Because it was a morning show, I have no idea if there's a bar there.
Going tomorrow to see Will Ferrel there so will update if there are any other interesting factoids.

Our diamond gem in Napa Valley....from arias to zydeco! Lincoln Theater, a modern, 1,200 seat theater, located on the grounds of the Veterans Home, Yountville. Arrive early and take a stroll among 150 trees from all over the world.
Have lunch or dinner, before a performance at many of the fine restaurants in downtown, little Yountville....you'll be pleasantly surprised. yountville.com

Seems like they put a theater in a well hidden spot here in the valley. You can get lost if you pay attention to the signs. Right toff the HWY, you drive through the tree lines road with green acres on each side as you reach the theater. For the past 7 years I've been coming here and it is a great place with spacious seating. A few years this place has been the hosting grounds for the Tour de Cure Events in which I participated a few years. Now it's one of many main theaters that host the Napa Valley Film Festival as why I am here yearly either to catch a movie or see a event/gala

Every event that I've attended at the Lincoln Performing Arts Center has been wonderful. It is small, intimate and with the exception of just a few seats, there really isn't a bad seat in the house. The lobby is open and spacious. They sell sparking wine, wine and bottled water during pre show and at intermission. They also sell snacks that aren't very imaginative and are not vegan-friendly. Though the sound system and the majority of the shows rank a 5, the issues with parking and lighting rank only a 2. Every time I've attended an event at the theater, parking has been confusing

Great theater, clean and modern. The seating arrangement reminded me of the Wells Fargo Center. Which means they're aren't many bad view points of the stage.
Enjoyed one of the Napa Valley Film Festival event here. Parking was adequate with good traffic flow options....remember driving home from Candlestick?
Pass me a grenade to clear the way....
Bad traffic memories aside, the theater is located within the beautiful, well manicured grounds of a VA rest home, which is really quite a sprawling faculty.
Such a neat experience with wonderful acoustics, felt as though I was on the set

Lovely theatre. No matter where you are seated, nose bleeds included, sorry I mean balcony seating you get a great view! I was there for the Red Carpet for the Napa Valley Film Festival. Elegance and comfort were hand in hand. Fun and amazement were my friends! I felt like for that night I was whisked away into another world. The town of Yountville is very busy in the evening time on the weekend and with this treasure presenting different festivals and such for one to engulf themselves into it. All one needs to do is get off the freeway. At the stop sign before turning left click your heels three

This amazing theater is sensational! As you enter, you are greeted with fantastic art and pleasant, smiling faces! When they have their events, you are sure to see some great performers. The theater is clean and the open layout is exhilarating, with high ceilings adorned in great pieces of art. When I attended, they had Chinese Acrobats! I saw amazing feats, with engaging movement and precision I have never seen anywhere else. The lighting was perfect and it showcased the actors wonderfully! I had never seen perfection of movement like that. I encourage everyone to see the theater, its a local

This theater is smack dab in the middle of a veterans community (adjacent to Chandon) ..and you can easily get lost trying to find it...but once you do it is pretty darn cool.
we were here for 2 nights of the Napa Valley Jazz Getaway festival. had amazing seats! center row about 2/3 back. it was truly the sweet spot as far as i'm concerned.
Venue has a great look, a great sound, spacious lobby, comfy seats, nice bathrooms. Not sure what else to say about it...anything else would be reviewing the musicians themselves (which had nothing to do with the venue)..
love it here and looking

An OK venue, but run somewhat in an amateur way. I know volunteers are just that, but they need a little training to bring it up a notch. I also object to the $10 charge to park your car, and not even a space close by. I did find some free parking way down the road, and did not mind the long walk to the theatre.
The show we saw tonight was a sellout, and it seemed the staff was stunned by the number of people and could not coordinate. BTW the acoustics are terrible. I sat in the middle (row R) and could kinda hear OK. My friends sat closer but on the far left and the sound was very muddled

My review will echo the comments of the other 2012 review (guess not much goes on here between 2009 and 2012 given the dearth of reviews).
It's in a very nice location in Yountville, north of Napa.
Very fancy and modern looking as you approach. If you don't want to valet, you can self park (turn left instead of right to the theater) for cheaper or free if you are lucky.
We had the same issue at will call where the lines grew super long due to being unable to find tickets. We each joined a line to save some time when I realized the process was not going to be fast.

Was at the Napa Valley Festival del sole and saw "The 24 Hr. Plays" at the Lincoln Theater.
The theater is located at the CA Veteran's Home on the west side of 101 opposite downtown Yountville. We parked in a lot on the main road and walked up the path to theater. It is a very large, two level modern facility. They also had valet service for this event.
Picking up our tickets from Will Call was an experience. You wait in a line to reach a table where two nice older ladies would try to find your ticket from stack of tickets that weren't alphabetically separated. Low and

Just saw a concert here and I would like to say this was a very pleasant experience overall in a state-of-the-art facility in a beautiful setting. It's very classy here, they even have valet parking.
First of there is nothing really near by, so a brisk walk or drive is in order if you want to have dinner or something before going to the theater. You drive through the "main gate" area of the Veterans' Home and here you have a decision free parking or preferred parking, one is a 5 minute walk away and the other is a about 30 seconds away.
The will call window is located
