There is a balcony area if you wish to pay extra for your ticket as well, but it is a bit farther from the stage so if you want up close and personal, go GA and get there early. Limited street parking, but ample garages very close that charge $20 for event parking. Departing was quicker than a lot of venues I have been to from garage just up the street. Security and staff are quick to process and get you in. May want to pregame as drinks are a bit spendy here. Restrooms set off from the floor with dedicated entrance and exit to make the traffic flow good. Good smaller venue to get up close and personal for a show.

These people literally stole $500 from me and my husband…read more Just another upset person writing a review that will be ignored. Way to take zero accountability for anything you do to make people unhappy, way to provide atrocious service and then run away from it. Zero improvements... is embarrassing. You're not even trying to do better. Here's my story. My husband had bought tickets back in like May for Slayyyter here. We were really excited about going. We get there, wait an hour in line. Finally get in and we're standing so close to the stage. I'm all excited. And then I start to overheat and feel dizzy. I tell my husband I think I'm gonna be sick and excuse myself to run to the bathroom. I'm running, literally holding my puke in throwing up in my mouth- I finally find the bathroom and as I'm throwing up I hear people outside talking and talking to my husband. Someone's like "yeah a little bit got on the floor, she has to go, yeah" and someone asking if I was drinking. I finish up in the stall and when I come out there is an "EMT" lady and a "security" lady. Both incredibly rude as soon as they saw me. The EMT lady just goes, "been drinking tonight, huh?" I showed her the X on both my hands that meant I wasn't drinking and couldn't buy alcohol in the venue. I told her I've been sober over 2 years and just overheated and I was okay. She goes "go ahead and wash your hands so we can go outside and talk" as if I'm about to get in trouble. I'm like "talk about what? I just overheated" she's like "yeah well venues have policies" and walked out. I'm like ??? Okay? So we go out and there's like 4 different people there telling us that vomiting is a biohazard so we have to leave. They don't listen to anything we have to say, don't offer us a refund, don't ask to check on me, give me water, nothing. They were treating me like I was a stupid belligerent drunk when I was stone cold sober and literally fine to go back in the crowd. Those tickets were like $500. I was literally crying as they shoved us out the side door and didn't even offer any kindness. Absolute insanity. Got ready, drove 2 hours to Boston, waited an hour in line and finally was 3rd row ready to see the show and this had to happen. I sent an email to see if I can get a refund or something because I don't know how they can just treat people that way. Didn't even offer water or anything else either. So incredibly rude. And just out $500 for what? I'm still so upset. It's like man, if you hate people so much and you're a rude, nasty person with no compassion, why be a fkin EMT? Again. Clearly yall don't even care but I'm posting this for the awareness of others. I'm not going to be silent about this one. I'm 32 and been to so many concerts in my life. Saw Lady Gaga 6 times. Twice in the big city of Chicago. Never had an experience this horrendous. You truly should be embarrassed. And I will be emailing and writing reviews and spreading the word about this issue until something is done. You don't steal $500 from people and not even give them a water as you shove them out the door for overheating. Maybe in my next review I'll be more polite and less angry. Doubt it.

Had a fun experience at Cary Hall seeing American Idol legends Clay Aiken and Ruben Studdard…read more I had no idea that this venue with so much history was right in my backyard. It was built in the 1920s, and the character still oozes from the building. They've made some renovations, but have kept it mostly original which I appreciate. The actual chairs are still everywhere expect for the orchestra seating, and they are sooo comfy. Trivia question: The seats have a wire rack underneath, what was it used for back in the day? Shout out to one of the ushers for this fun question. (I won't spoil the answer). Now, because it is historic, there are some things it doesn't have. One being no screens like at most concert venues. This wasn't too big a deal since the hall is not huge, but something to point out. Also can't bring food or drink inside the space to protect its historic value, which didn't bother me to be honest. This hall is also nice because due to the size, there really isn't a bad seat in the house. The side balconies aren't head on with the stage but it didn't seem to be an issue. I sat in the loge and for being furthest away, I had a clear view. They also had a cash bar in the foyer with drinks and snacks. I liked this venue because it was a quaint space, and it felt like I was going to a live theater, rather than a huge concert. It's classy and makes for a fun night out. I would love to come back and see the Lexington Symphony play here.

I loved the venue size - totally manageable and not overwhelming. Lots of bathroom stalls meant any lines moved quickly. I loved taking a break between the opener and main act to stand quietly by the water. Several drink and food options (pizza, dumplings, chicken nuggets, fries, burgers), and a free water fountain + water bottle filling station. Definitely still plan on wearing ear plugs - the music was as loud as any other venue.

This venue is one of the worst organized places I've been in a while. The staff were nice and…read morehelpful, but were clearly not prepared to handle crowds. Which for a venue is insane mismanagement. They have one single 3-foot wide entrance (besides the VIP entrance, which I didn't experience other than to see it similarly lacked signage and coordination). They had zero line management and no signage outside the venue. Once inside, the space was a little calmer, but still had terrible logistics. The bathrooms had no line management, a terrible layout, and lacked signage so people were confused and bumping into each other constantly. The food and drinks were disappointing, but at least they had a few different options. The acoustics and sight lines were decent but the seats were uncomfortable and only 2/3 had cup holders. The worst part is that it seems like this place could be so much better. They have nice staff and they have enough space. It's just being managed terribly.

Some of the best concerts I've ever been to have been here. Downstairs, Upstairs, ZuZu -- each space has its own charm, and I'll always have a soft spot for all of them. Tickets are always fairly priced; I've never paid more than $65. The bartenders are chill, and the bar itself is standard -- nothing special -- but it's a concert venue. If you're looking for something craftier, head to Brick & Mortar down the street. Five stars for all the memories, and more to come!

One of our party entered the venue regardless and had a great night. But I would never return based on the rude attitude of the overweight man.

Review for the performance space:…read more The space is tight with a jazz trio, but the music and the scene is fantastic. This is a great spot to get up and personal with some local jazz giants as well as visiting players. There is not a bad seat in the house, and the Green Room's name is apt, because it is literally just a small room with a hanging tiffany lamp and folding chairs. Situated in a store front on Bow Street, the Green Room is a welcome performance space in the neighborhood. Definitely join their mailing list to stay abreast of visiting performers and take in a show prior to dinner and drinks in Union Square. There is no food or drink available in this room, so plan ahead.

There are several games you can play - pool table, shuffle board, jenga. There's different types of seating - couch seating, regular tables, high tables and the bar. You order drinks at the bar and food online using the QR code menu - as either takeout or delivery. I ordered the chicken tenders - was very pleasantly surprised that they were baked not fried! I'm always looking for healthy food options. They were really good! Very crispy on the outside and tender juicy inside. The seasoning was really tasty. They were hot and fresh. The tater tots were quite good too crispy outside and soft inside. Came with mustard sauce and ketchup. I was very satisfied with my food. The hubs ordered the pork banh mi sandwich and he really enjoyed it too. Quite filling and tasty. Our friend ordered the warm cookie which came with vanilla ice cream drizzled with chocolate sauce. He said it was great. There were people playing pool and they invited us to join if we wanted. That was nice but we just ate and chatted sitting on the couch. We could see the line outside for the Roadrunner and when it seemed like everyone was getting into the venue we left to go for the concert. But we'll definitely be back. Apparently they also have free karaoke on Fridays from 8 till 11pm. So we'll be back for sure!!

There's a pizza place that sells full pies or by-the-slice pizza, a Salvadoran place that has pupusas (including a vegan lentil option!), a brewery with a lot of different beers on tap, and a small market with snacks and fresh produce. The market had ice cream as well. Each of the restaurants/markets we visited had extremely friendly staff, and they answered all of our questions about not only their own establishments but also the things we could get at the other spots in the Speedway. We also went on a Thursday, which meant it wasn't too busy. The parking lot is a little small, but after 6pm on Thursdays and Fridays you can park at the community health center for free, and there's also a SpotHero lot across the street that was $15.
