Saw M. Ward w/ Leslie Stevens here last night, 9/20, and absolutely love this place. To be that close was a treat, which is an understatement. It was a truly great show with some equally great people. Would definitely recommend, and will be back.

Had a great time at the Baby Queen show here on 6/15. Nice little bar in the front. It's a pretty intimate venue which I liked. Well staffed and friendly. Great sound and visibility even from the back of the room. No long lines for bathrooms or drinks which is always a plus!

I really like this venue, I’ve been here twice for concerts and for both, staff were professional and organized. I came to see Will Wood and later on, bo en (ft. Kikuo and Gus bonito). The shows looked amazing but it does get PACKED (that’s to be expected for concerts in general tho). The stage looks great and there’s a disco ball on the ceiling which is always so fun to see being used by artists on stage! Haven’t tried the drinks but overall the atmosphere is great. I absolutely loved both shows, everything looked amazing !!

The view was better in person than in my videos, I was too excited and moved around in a bad angle. But rest assured, I could see the stage pretty well in the middle of the crowd with my two eyeballs, instead of on my phone. And the disco ball is always so fun

Absolutely loved this venue! It's the perfect size for maximum enjoyment. Big enough for a rowdy dance show with (500) people, but with plenty of space so you aren't smashed together with strangers and you can shift your position for a great view. In fact I think every spot in this venue is a great view.

I also really liked the lobby with tables in it. A member of my party wasn't feeling well during the show so he spent most of the time sipping a Coke out in the lobby. When he felt well enough to come in, he went up into the balcony instead of coming onto the dance floor. He said that was really nice as well.

I can honestly say I haven't enjoyed a show this much in over 20 years, and the venue was central to that experience. If I didn't live 5 hours away, I would probably try to see as many shows here as possible! ?

I saw Nike Lowe there. A great place to se an artist like Nick's Lowe. The sound was good, and security was thorough . Nice experience!

Love this venue always— quant, but nice, and good music selection over the years. I like that they added lockers upstairs too, which was great for winter months.

Saw Luna in concert March 15th, 2024...and returned the next night as well. The venue was great and Luna's sound was incredible in the space. Despite it being standing room, we didn't feel cramped and we could see the band well from multiple viewpoints. The bar had many options and bar staff were quick and friendly. No snacks except popcorn, but tons of places around to eat before or after. We had a great time!

First time here, won't be my last!

Drinks: The bar on the 1st floor has a great beer selection, a few ciders, and some liq-beer combo deals, like a PBR tallboy w/a shot of Evan ($13). 2nd floor bar has fewer, but still good, options.

Sound: The dynamics are awesome, with even a musical act of two people with two instruments able to fill the space and sound spectacular, just as much as a five member band rocking out with moves and grooves.

Seats: The balcony has about 25 seats I'm guessing, along the rail. Views from there are blu-ray quality?
