Nicolas David from the Voice has played here numerous times...and this tavern consistently draws acts from the Twin Cities. The best part of the whole deal is that I have never been charged a cover to get in and see good music. Sometimes, during shows, they serve free beer in the back from a keg...most likely PBR. Free music, and free beer? Is this heaven? Looking around the bar, enjoy the years and years of graffiti on the walls in the back of the bar. There are some really great artists in this town...and some fancy poets. The bathrooms are so full of markered writing, you could stand in there for a number of minutes just to take it in. I was impressed with the selection of crappy and not-so-crappy beer, and the service was great. The sound from the stage was great, and there was a little area where people would dance. I found the people watching here to be second to none...such an eclectic mix of society in here.

It's such a shame that this place is having financial trouble. The most iconic thing about the Warehouse is the stairs. I have no idea how the bands carry their stuff up there, but opening the door and being met with all those steps just sets the tone for the night. You know you're in for something different. There are old posters from a bunch of different bands covering the walls. There's a mural on a wall inside in the style of BRUTE! propaganda. For some reason, the aesthetics just seem like what a concert venue *should* be. The venue is unabashedly all ages. That means no booze. Take that for what it is. Personally, I appreciated it when I was younger--it meant no obnoxious drunk assholes! Now that I'm a bit older, I just appreciate the club's commitment to providing a positive environment for kids in Wisconsin who need a different kind of community than is offered at hometown football games.

She helped me build a flight and gave me two samples of beers that piqued my interest... Spruce-A-Lool and Shitty Lyte Beer. Of the five bees I tasted... all were wonderfully delicious.

The Shitty Lyte beer I expected to taste like a regular domestic... had a little..something to it, I can't describe it, but a little punch. Jenna was attentive and funny my whole visit despite the bar filling up w customers. All the customers were equally as funny as we all talked and joked. Don't skip past Pearl Street and your directions are correct when it reads to take a left in to what looks like an apartment parking lot... you go the short distance past that to Pearl Street. I liked that the brewery really covered your palate with light to hoppy to malty and flavorful. I really enjoyed the Siberian Disco Toasted Stout and Java Lava Coffee Stout. I also enjoyed my Old Fashioned, they have a menu of cocktails as well. I definitely won't be waiting another four years for my third stop in to Pearl Street.

There is an older jukebox available to play music, and the sound in that place was really great. They were closed during the pandemic I believe, but now they are open again. A week after we visited there someone vandalized the back or side of the building with graffiti, which is unfortunate! It's a swank place, and I hope that more people realize just how much fun it is to be there. The seats seem kind of retro and has a lot of big wide curves to it. I hope that the musty smell can get cleared out somehow because that's a little overwhelming, but I think it's just from being closed up for so long. We will definitely be back!

The location was perfect, right near the activity hotspots for the city, the river, and a couple of well-known hotel chains. Although I was only in one area of the LaCrosse center, that area was clean, comfortable, and well-maintained. Despite all of that, the most impressive thing of all was the staff. Our group ended up hosting far more people than had RSVP'd but the La Crosse Center staff came through with seating and food for all, quickly opening up nearby rooms, putting down tables, chairs, and centerpieces without acting surly as though it were a major inconvenience. Kudos for that. And I don't know who made the desserts for our reception, or if the La Crosse Center caterer provided them, but they were A-maz-ing.

My only gripe is that while I love live music, it is a smaller space so when there is live music, it is LOUD. Don't anticipate being able to hold a conversation during a band's set. The lounge is also on the second floor of a historic building... so be prepared for a rather steep set of stairs to take you there.
