Cool venue! We saw the Bridge City Sinners in late October. One thing, it was very hot inside. Unfortunately I had a medical emergency, but the staff were amazing in assisting us. Great people!

Fantastic experience! Emily took care of me at the bar, even though all I was drinking was coffee!
The Sanctuary is a great venue! We went to one of these shows going that evening.
Highly recommend!!!

This place is awesome! It'll be my 3rd time performing here as the one-man band and my 8th time overall! Morella and her team are very personable and make this feel like home!

Great venue for music. It’s a church converted to music hall. The music can be Blues, hard rock, country. We are here tonight for Noah Wotherspoon and an Allman Brother Tribute Band Small venue. Not a bad seat in the house.

Date of visit: 06/12/2024
Show: Kat Hasty & Maggie Antone Lone Stars & Lovers tour
Easily visible (look for the church steeple).
Metered parking on surrounding streets available, so load up with your quarters. It was (I think) $1.75 per hour, limit 10 hours (plenty of time for a 🎶🎸🎤)
Doors opened at 7, we got into the venue easily at 7:30.
This venue is AWESOME!
Now it appears there might be a couple of different areas for performers. We were in the area immediately to the left when you enter.
Ambience is cool, sound quality and acoustics wonderful. Check out the stained glass windows still in place. They have a bar selling drinks and chips.
For this show there were tables and chairs, and of course standing room near the stage.
Both of these ladies put on an awesome show. It felt cozy, like a bunch of friends hanging out playing and listening to music. The audience was great, respectful of the musicians.
After the concert we got to hang around and wait for both ladies to come out for photos and autographs; as in some other venues they rush you out, it was not the case here.

Upon leaving there is an area right outside the doors with some picnic tables, and more musicians!! Unfortunately, and I regret now, we did not stay to listen to them as the hour was late.
Overall a great place to catch a concert. If I lived closer I would probably attend quite a few shows here. Nothing but thumbs-up 👍 for this venue!
If you deem my review helpful please give it a 👍.

I think this may be a new favorite to catch live music at. I came for Wheatus and was so impressed by the intimate setting, I couldn't have been happier. It's so nice not being piled in and having thousands of people around. Definitely one of my best live music experiences and I will for sure be back.

A renovated church. A few stages to perform on. One main room for act and smaller stages for newer acts. Good place to hear music and get a drink. Pool table available.

First time at this venue. Nice setup. Downstairs there was a bar. A small stage was there. I'm told they have open mic night a couple times a week. Several guitar players, and other musicians were gearing up to play. I'm an open mic fan so I'll come back to jam sometime.

My gal and I came here to see Luther Van and the Floods, and the headliner Popa Chubby. I ordered tickets on line. It was $5 per ticket cheaper. I had the choice of having the tickets sent to me, or hold at the Will Call. I chose Will Call. I checked out several acts on the Web site. There's no set ticket price and it varies depending on the performer. We paid $20 each ticket, but I saw prices as low as $12 and high as $25.

The website said tickets held at the Will Call could be picked up starting at 5pm. The show was to start at 7:30. We were not able to get Will Call tickets until 7pm. Not a big deal, but don't be surprised if the same happens to you.

At 7pm we hopped in line, had a color wrist band. We went upstairs into an old church sanctuary. The natural reverb sounded great. As a sound man, it would be a challenge. But the sound guy did fantastic. The lights and acoustics were a bonus. The stained glass windows added to the ambience. We sat at a small table. In the rear of the room was a bar, complete with a pipe organ.

The opening act was Luther Van and the Floods. I really liked them. Good energy by the band, and a music style that a Tarantino film would love.

Popa Chubby was the best guitar act I've witnessed. He played so much emotion and talented thru his guitar... Words can't describe.

Will definitely return.
