But when CMI announced a show I had to be there. And lemme tell ya. This place is awesome. Located on a section of Pomona with numerous clubs and bars Characters sticks out as it's on the end and the sign is easy to see. There's ample parking and if there's nothing in the lot, the streets have plenty available. Security was cool with no hassle. As I walked in I was expecting a greasy dive bar with sticky floors and garbage lighting. No! Total opposite. Very clean and the crowd was cool. Pool tables were pushed to the side and the stage was nice and high. Sound was phenomenal and of course the bands were awesome. It's 21+ so keep that in mind if you're interested in an upcoming show. Characters was the total opposite of what I was expecting. At least indoors it's a great place to see a show. It checks all the boxes for what I'm looking for and I'd go back 100%. Highly recommended!

They do it in the back patio area where there's a stage and lighting. And enough seating and when the seating is taken up there's still enough room for standing room only. So I'd say check it out starting September 9th and every other Wednesday after that there will be Comedy. Also starting on Saturday, October 3rd, every other Saturday night there will also be Comedy for those that can't make it out on Wednesday nights.

The trouble started at the door, they said $15 cover I handed my card and the girl says it's not going through, uhhh okay not possible I'm using my debit card that I have a substantial amount of money but okay. I then used my business card to pay, (read at the bottom as I encountered an issue with what they charged me). As we were walking in we noticed the place was set up with tables and balloons and looked at each other like wait is this a private party?? It was an odd set up but we proceeded to the small tiny ass bar area, got drinks walked around, literally just around the dance floor there was no where to sit or stand other than at the very end of each side of the dance floor where no one can see you if you wanted to dance. We were out of there within 10 mts!! As we were walking out there was a guy that asked us why were we leaving, told him our concerns since my friend recognized him as Ralph, I think he's the coordinator or something anyway the guy keeps talking about how those tables sell out every weekend but if we wanted one in advance he could reserve one for us. Huh? What about just have a lounge area where ppl that don't have large parties or a need for a table can sit down or stand where the action is happening? Anyway he didn't really seem to care that we were not impressed he didn't even offer to accommodate us so we wouldn't leave. Whatever dude keep your $15 cover. Except that fast forward to Monday I tried using my debit card (1st one I used) and had a block, due to these ppl trying to charge $31 four times!!! Well ya no wonder my bank blocked it. Upon realizing this I go and check my business acct and sure enough they charged me $31 to get in!!!! AVOID THIS PLACE!! Edit to reply: Hottest in the IE? LMAO you got triggered for a reason. Your lack of professionalism shows here just like it did that night

The atmosphere is fun, stylish, and feels like you've stepped into another era, while the speakeasy adds a more intimate and elevated feel. The drinks were creative and well made, and the overall ambiance made it a great spot for a night out. I especially loved how the '80s club energy and the hidden speakeasy concept come together it makes the place feel like more than just a bar. Definitely a fun experience if you're looking for something different, with great vibes, good drinks, and a little bit of mystery.

Finding the hidden entrance is always fun, and stepping away from the neon-heavy arcade energy outside and straight into a moody, southern bayou atmosphere was honestly a really cool touch. The low lighting, dim decor, and secluded vibe set high expectations for the rest of the night. Unfortunately, the bar program didn't quite keep up with the ambiance. When you walk into a dedicated speakeasy, you expect carefully crafted, balanced drinks with some depth and fresh ingredients. Instead, the cocktails felt a little rushed, overly sweet, and missing the refined craft you look for in a place like this. For the price tag on the menu, the execution just fell flat. The staff was friendly enough and the novelty factor is definitely there, but the drinks missed the mark. I'm glad I checked it out to see what the buzz was about, but since the cocktail quality didn't match the cool environment, I don't see myself heading back anytime soon. Solid three stars for the aesthetic alone.

First time at Piano Piano celebrating a birthday. It's a place where you can request sounds to be…read moreplayed in dueling pianos. Recommend reserving a spot online to be guaranteed a table spot and that set aside seating for your party. You can't bring outside food or drinks but you can bring a cake and party decorations. Plenty of parking spaces, it opens at 7pm so it feels early when it's still light out. They play a lot of oldies, 80s and 90s songs. I kind of felt out of place not knowing a lot of the older songs. Younger folks might have a tough time following along the songs. If you want your song played it's like a $20 payment unless no one is there and you might get away with under $20. That accept cash and Venmo. They have a full bar for drink orders and a menu for bar food like pizza, burgers, and fries. Don't have high expectations for the food. You're here for the piano music. You can put in special requests at the beginning of the night to highlight someone's birthday and they might get called up on stage. Or pay $100 and get to sing your song on stage. Overall it's a try once of your life experience or if you like every song in piano format.

We showed up about 30 minutes before doors opened and on this night there was still parking directly across the street but if it was full there seems to be other lots close but. It was $30 for a Friday night show. The line to get in wasn't too long and door time was pretty accurate maybe 5/10 minutes late but no big deal. The security was pretty fast too. Basic security if you been to any concert recently. Take all your stuff out of your pocket and as long as you don't have anything suspicious you will be good to go. Merch was on the left and right side when you got in and there is a bar also right when you get in. I'm not sure if this is for every show but for this one there was a difference for general admission and general admission pit. We had pit tickets and this got you in the section right in front of the stage. There is a security guard who checks your ticket and you get a wristband so if you leave you can come back. There is also a bar right in this section which is nice so you don't have to leave. If you don't have pit tickets the next sections behind are all first come so if you want a closer and better view you would need to arrive right when doors open or earlier if it is a popular show. There are also seats upstairs. I didn't get to see how the view is from up there but the venue is not too big so I'm sure it is a great view up stairs and good for people who don't want to stand all concert and prefer to have a seat. The sound was good and as mentioned since we had pit tickets the view was really good. The one thing that I didn't like and can be an issue if maybe you are drinking a lot or just need to use the restroom, is that the only restroom was upstairs. Or if there was one downstairs I never saw it and no one directed me to those. They are located up stairs and are quite a mission once the venue gets packed. This venue is a little out of my way but if an artist I really wanted to see was only performing here I wouldn't hesitate to purchase tickets and come here again.
