We were able to Uber it with no problem to and from where we were staying in the city. The architecture and the lighting and the acoustics in this building are amazing.

When events are scheduled and go as planned, it's the greatest place around. HOWEVER, I get it's…read moreErie, PA and the winter weather is sketchy. When and if there are cancellations with concerts, usually they don't find out at the last second or minute. I get that certain artists/bands can't or won't show up because of the weather. I lived in Erie for awhile, I currently live south 90 minutes. My sister still lives in the heart of Erie. My husband bought 8 tickets to see Lou Gramm on 12/12/24. It's on his bucket list, and mine as well. Fast forward, weather emergency in Erie 10 days ago.... We get that happens. LONG story short we were told via the artist's email list that the concert has been postponed until early April (exact date not set as of yet). OK, cool.... Contacted Erie Events and no answer. They continue to update their page with "closed" or boasting new shows, yet cannot answer a question via Facebook. 4 days later, I receive a response saying to "please contact" a certain email address regarding my question. So, I did just that. 3 days later I get a generic response stating they cannot "confirm or deny" the show has been postponed or changed. Here's the deal... OUR group of 8 live over 90 minutes away. We ALL took at least 1.5 days or 2 off because of this concert. WE ALL paid for a hotel room. None of us are rich, we're simply wanting to see the best artist to ever live, Mr. Lou Gramm. We all need to cancel our hotel rooms (obviously) so we aren't charged for no reason if the show doesn't happen. I could go on and on. We saw Donnie Iris last May, we had an idiot spill beer on us who squeezed into the front row. It took security 3 songs to realize the guy was shouting "F" this and that. And, I think it was Donnie's crew who notified security, not them noticing there was an extra random guy screaming for no reason.....IN THE FRONT ROW. During John Mellencamp show we were not allowed to have the lids on our cups we pay top dollar for, just to be able to take into show. We were told that we'd "get replacements" at the next show because at the previous 'rap' show people tore the place up. A couple years ago Pat Benatar cancelled yet we were already there and only notified because of the lot attendant. A couple weeks ago Nitro Circus was cancelled. NOBODY knew until the time of the show. People waiting in line to get in. NOBODY notified until their not so wonderful staff posted a simple piece of paper on door saying it was cancelled. UPDATING the website would help A LOT. If someone is able to update that the electricity is out and posting new dates for new acts, then you can post for anything that is postponed or cancelled. I LOVE ERIE and Erie Events. I don't know if it is the new management or what is going on but personally, it's gone downhill, and fast. VERY disappointing. I will never try to take away the beauty of this place and what a gem it used to be. As of this date, 12/08/2024, I will never recommend anyone go there. I will also never purchase another ticket unless I know there is a change at the boxoffice.

Neat and cozy atmosphere. A bit pricey for Erie. The short rib was pieces of meat on the potatoes…read moreand reminded me of Top Round as opposed to short rib. When I order short rib, I expect an actual short rib on the plate. Other than that, the experience was good. Server Josh was prompt and personable. Beer was in a deceiving small glass for tap beer. Prices reminiscent of PGH or Cincinnati, not small town Erie. Mac and cheese was good. I couldn't eat the app burgers due to aioli, and no offer to bring one free of aioli. I love the atmosphere, but very disappointed in my short rib dish. Asked for any reduction sauce instead of aioli and nothing was possible (I don't consider this a big ask).

Hidden in plain sight…read more I've passed this place more than 50 times during my visits to Erie and never even blinked. Well that is until last week. I came here for an early dinner and my oh my I have got to pay more attention. Go in, push the book case and plan to stay awhile! Cocktails outstanding, appetizers were plentiful, the entree was just ok, vibes were everything. I started with the hibiscus spritzer which was a little bit on the sweet side for me but very refreshing. The whipped feta plate (I cannot recalled the exact name) with a very large portion with whipped feta, pita bread, rye crisps and sweet peppers which was healthy and refreshing. For an entree we decided to share the short ribs. It was a very large portion that came with mashed potatoes and steamed carrots. The temperature was off like it wasn't fresh, it wasn't hot the short rib was dry the carrots were hots, the potatoes lukewarm, the plate hot, all very odd. I didn't care for it so I'm glad we shared it. My friend enjoyed it I didn't say anything. For dessert (there is no menu so they share the specials verbally) We selected what we were told was a strawberry cheesecake. It was not cheesecake. It was definitely a shortbreak with a way too sweet frosting. I was very disappointed in this because I would chosen the chocolate cake (or nothing). Just as we wrapped up the live music had started. This place is super cute, and perfect for drinks, dinner, a date, the live music, etc.

My brother Paul and I trekked up to the Mary D'Angelo Performing Arts Center in Erie, PA for the…read moreBuddy Guy concert this past weekend. The D'Angelo is owned and operated by Mercyhurst College. It's used for both a performing arts center and a movie theatre. I didn't know it was the only cinema within the Erie city limits, but they show a lot of art & indie flix here that otherwise wouldn't play in a city like this. They've shown "The King's Speech", "Winter's Bone", "Waiting for Superman", etc. They've also got a brew-n-view series here. But it's first and foremost use is as a concert facility. It's a pretty modern space--only about 15 years old. It's got about 700 seats in it, which is perfect for a city the size of Erie. My brother and I had main floor center seats for the Buddy Guy concert and I can tell you that the sightlines here are excellent as are the acoustics. Although not as historic as the Byham in Pittsburgh or the Palace in Greensburg, it's a great place to see a show. Okay music fans. You know that this being a Susan concert hall review, you're gonna get a review of the show itself. Well I shan't disappoint. While some performers are w-a-y past it (hello Mike Love & What's Left of the Beach Boys), Buddy Guy can still belt out a blues tune. He can still play a guitar lick that'll put guys 50 years his junior to shame. I guess it is true that the blues had a baby and named it rock-n-roll. Buddy sounded best when he concentrated on such material as "Damn Right I've Got the Blues", "Hoochie Coochie Man" (um, Eric Clapton, I love you too but you're too well polished for this one), and a few others. He played a rollicking version of his latest, the autobiographical "74 Years Young". And when he sang "Skin Deep", a song about racial relations so emotionally honest it almost puts Marvin Gaye's "What's Goin' On" to shame, I was almost moved to tears. But there were a couple of problems with the show. First of all, how do you condense a 50+ year career into 90 minutes? You can't. Second of all Buddy Guy couldn't seem to separate Buddy Guy the personality from Buddy Guy the performer. He seemed to be alternating between doing extended jams and working the audience. No I haven't been to many blues concerts and yes I am aware that they do extended jams. But I've never been very fond of them and this probably explains why I've never been fond of jam bands like Grateful Dead, Phish, and the Dave Matthews Band. The other thing was when Buddy was working the crowd, he seemed to be doing shtick. As one fan said, he'd seen him many times and essentially Guy's been doing the same thing for the past 30 years. My friend Catherine saw him recently in Joliet and said the same thing. An online reviewer said he did 10 mostly complete songs and a lot of screwing around. Still, we love ya Buddy! Your CD "Living Proof" is one of the best albums I've heard in a long time and it occupies a special place in my collection (and lemme tell ya, for a chick that's got 300+ CDs, that's saying something). You've drank wine with kings/And the Rolling Stones. When you get down to it, you can still play with the best of 'em. If you'd just given me and Bro a few more tunes and a little less horsin' around, I could've given you a five star review!
