We went to a metalcore show and really appreciated the fact that the Big Dipper put it on and has a quality venue for this type of show. Acoustics are good and we enjoyed interacting with the bands at their merch tables. Fun place, felt welcome even though I'm an old codger and look forward to seeing another show there.

Multiple vehicles at a time and an entire all night long process of going in and out (multiple vehicles) I have a positive CO level in my blood. They terrorize me. This is what I encountered while outside at my apartment building, trying to get fresh air. I do not know this man, and I have no idea why he'd want me hurt. Look at his eyes. I wouldn't recommend associating with this business. They're truly monsters. He kept getting in my face and following me around. I haven't even ever seen this guy. It's so scary.

We had PBR, played pool, I definitely won several games against my hubby, and we had a great time.

If you're looking for a place that truly has it all, Zola absolutely delivers. From the moment you…read morewalk in, the energy is unmatched live music, a buzzing crowd, and an atmosphere that just pulls you in. The live performance was incredible and set the tone for the whole night. People were dancing, laughing, and genuinely enjoying themselves. Whether you want a cozy corner upstairs, a lively bar seat, patio vibes, or a big table for a group, they've created a space for every kind of night out. Huge shoutout to Emily, our server, who made the experience even better, and Indy behind the bar WOW. I had the Spicy Jimmy Hendricks and I'm officially obsessed. Hands down one of the best drinks I've had in a long time. Now let's talk food because it deserves its own moment. The Zola mac & cheese? Jamie & Johnii were the cooks that night. Unreal. Rich, cheesy, and completely indulgent. And the burrata appetizer was fresh, flavorful, and the perfect start to the meal. Everything we had was top-notch. What really stood out to me is the crowd such a beautiful mix of people. Couples tucked away having deep conversations, friends celebrating, people dancing... it felt like a place where everyone belongs. It honestly made me wish I could have experienced it with my grandparents it has that timeless, joyful energy. They also offer private events, catering, and even the option to rent out the whole space, which makes it perfect for birthdays, date nights, or celebrations. Just a heads up it's 21+ so leave the kids at home with a sitter, but the vibe is welcoming, vibrant, and full of life. I'm beyond impressed. Zola is more than just a restaurant it's an experience. I'll absolutely be back.

The Knitting Factory is a cool venue for a show…read more It's two-story so there's plenty of room; however, if you don't get there on time, it might be hard to 'see' because it fills up pretty quickly. Our group was sub-5'7/5'8" and had we been ~15 mins later, I think we would've had trouble seeing the act, because the downstairs 'gallery' was packed and upstairs quickly filled up behind us. I didn't deal with anyone being belligerent, annoying, etc. -- nothing outside of normal concert 'stuff.' It's cool and in a chill spot in downtown/doesn't seem sus - I would go back, depending on the show.

Pros: Midsize venue…read more Wide variety of music. Fairly clean. Cons: Layout. Organization. Always seems over capacity. The sound seems to always be horrible. Overall vibe is a "meh" for me. There's way worse venues out there and many better ones. Also, parking can get a bit crazy, especially if there's multiple events going on downtown, so plan ahead and arrive early if needed.

It's a great little venue with excellent sound. They have popcorn and other snacks and they also have a bar upstairs. It isn't always open, but sometimes it is and it's pretty good. The margaritas are premade, but they still do the job! The staff is nice, the shows are great, and the venue needs our business to stay around.

I had a terrible experience with the Bing Crosby Theatre's ticketing system and customer service. I…read morebought tickets for the Josh Johnson show but got too sick to go. I spent over an hour trying to transfer them to my sister through their ticketing app. Nothing worked. When I called the main number for the theater for help, the manager picked up. She was immediately condescending and rude. She said, "Dear, I'm in the MIDDLE of OPENING and I'M the MANAGER and you can just go to the box office people and WORK IT OUT WITH THEM," and hung up on me. I never asked for a manager. I just needed help. They clearly don't have a real support system. No one was available to handle a simple ticketing issue. After everything I spent to attend, including hotel and airfare, being dismissed like that was unacceptable.

The opener was pretty good too. The bartenders do a great job with the cocktails. At one point I looked back and the bar area was packed. The dueling pianos and drums don't start until 9PM and then the crowds converge. Looked like a loty of local college kids frequent this place. Good to see many of the younger crowd appreciate the piano pop favorites. Chaz, Steve's son and drummer, really belts out the country classics and looks like he is having a great time playing with dad. It's great to see the live music scene is alive in Downtown Spokane.

The atmosphere is usually pretty good but there are some pros and cons…read more Pro: never had any issues with the staff they were always nice and respectful and most of the people that we have ran into have been respectful with country manners. Pro: has dance floor and live music. Pro: has a variety of seating Pro : has some games billiards, life-size Jenga , hunting Safari game , and I think a few others. Pro : more than one place to order a drink Pro and Con if you go on a Friday or Saturday it's usually packed. Con : parking can be an issue especially in the winter the long walk in the cold if you get there late. Con: even though this place has a nice atmosphere the sound level is more like that of a bump and grind club. It's so loud we were literally yelling at each other to communicate. Very bad for somebody with sensory issues highly recommend earplugs, usually that will drown out the background noise but you could hear each other talk still with ear plugs. I think it would really benefit the business for them to adjust this to put the majority of the sound at the front of the stage so if people want louder music they can move towards it. Was very difficult to have a conversation with anyone ,and if you're dancing with someone and teaching them it's very difficult for them to hear you and makes the dancing less fun and more of a fumble. Con: The dance floor is kind of awkward, they have support beams in the middle of the dance floor. And then they have picnic style tables on both sides of the dance floor it doesn't really make sense to me. Maybe they arranged that way because of Covid and just left it. But when you're dancing if you go too far to either side you're suddenly running into somebody's table and usually that's because you're trying to move out of the way because there's so many people on the dance floor. Again I think it would make more sense if they would remove the tables from both sides open up that dance floor so more people will want to come and dance. It's hard to get someone who is shy about dancing to go on a dance floor when they're worried about getting ran over or bumped into constantly. And when there's a bunch of people that are under the influence this can quickly lead to an issue . Con: The air quality could be better with the amount of people that are usually crammed in there it can feel a bit warm and stuffy at times. Con: There is a cover charge ,but I have never been there on night where they were cutting off the amount of people inside.Instead of that there would be no seating and you'd have to stand whole time . Con: I don't think they have anybody managing the bathrooms it gets messy in there quick. Con: I wish they had some appetizing food and an atmosphere that would allow some conversation while eating. Food would help balance out alcohol intake and probably make it little safer for those who can't handle their alcohol.Would also be good for people with blood sugar issues so they don't have to leave the fun just to eat. Con: People take your table if you get up to dance or go to the bar , we've had our drinks knocked over and broken and we were only up from our table about few minutes to go close our tab at the bar. Again I think this is due to the imbalance of people over seating and the alcohol intake it versus the food in a persons stomach ,after a few hours some of these people are just gone lol . Overall this is still the best live music bar with a dance floor I have ever been to and very much appreciate the country vibes. But I think they would greatly benefit from re-strategizing their seating towards the entrance of the building and opening up the Dance floor more and adding volume control. I don't think anybody that works a full day wants to go fight for a seat or a space on the dance floor and then have to scream at their friends just to communicate lol or at least me and my girls don't . We will be back but definitely hope they make some improvements in the meantime.

I have been to Nashville North a few times and it seemed to be a really fun, clean place at the…read moretime. My friend decided to have her bachelorette party there on June 6th and there was an adult diaper behind the toilet in the handicap stall. The toilet was nasty looked like it hadn't been cleaned in weeks. There was someone there that is a regular and they said they would go tell the manager and they would have the diaper taken care of. One of my friends that was with us at the party on the 6th was out there this past weekend and the diaper was still in the same spot and the toilet still hadn't been cleaned. I'm 100% sure the Porta potty out in the back area is cleaner than these bathrooms. I will not be going back to this nasty establishment. One of the employees said there was mold in the coolers and they wouldn't drink anything that comes out of the tap guns either. What does that say if the employees won't drink what there serving paying customers? The entire place just seems to be a total shit show since I was there the first couple times. Would not recommend going there. They can't get any good bands in there to save there lives. It's always this guy Luke Jaxon who has sang the same songs every time I've been there. They use to have some great concerts posted but they haven't had any in more than a year. Regulars said in the past the gm n staff kept the place clean n very Safe smooth going operation. Everyone use to love going there. Security seems to be a total joke now. It was very put together and very on top of things when i was here before.....apparently a lot of the old staff left when the gm quit. The new staff seem very new and confused. The place definitely isn't the same and many are not going there anymore.

A Nightcap Under 5,000 Pieces of Glass…read more Late Friday night, end of a work trip, and we just wanted one good last pour before bed. The Peacock Room was still open right by our hotel, so in we went. Best accidental decision of the trip. You walk in and the room hits you. Dark, moody, eclectic wallpaper, the kind of place that feels like it has stories. Then you look up. A stained glass peacock ceiling, thousands of pieces of it, glowing over the whole room. I just stood there for a second. Wow. The space is big and built for good company. Plenty of room for four couples or a bigger group to settle in. They stay open till 1am, which makes them a rare find for us late-nighters. The bourbon list earned my respect. I went Michter's, Old Forester 1910, and Weller Antique 107, and the 1.5 oz pours were priced fair and honest. No tourist markup. My wife worked through a Huckleberry Heaven, a dirty martini, and an espresso martini. The Huckleberry leaned on real local huckleberry instead of faking it. The dirty martini came cold and briny with a clean bite, just the way it should be. The espresso martini was rich and smooth with a proper foam cap, the kind that wakes you up and relaxes you at the same time. We got hungry. She had the chicken Caesar, crisp and fresh with warm chicken on top. I went prime rib French dip with fries. Crunchy baguette, savory meat, rich au jus. Exactly what you want at midnight. Then we split the chocolate cabernet cake to close it out, rich and creamy and worth the calories. Tyson and David ran the bar like pros. We're not from around here, so Tyson walking us through the local options meant something. Real conversation, no rushing us, just good people who know their craft. If you're in downtown Spokane, do yourself a favor. Walk in, look up, and order something good.
