We just had a great dinner at Pourter's this Sunday evening... our waitress recommended we check…read moreout The Dive while we were in town. After closing out at Pourter's, we walked into The Dive around 5:40 PM... only to be told by the bartender that they were "technically closed" and that the people inside were on their last call. This was surprising and confusing, as Google said they close at 8 PM and Yelp listed 9 PM...nothing mentioned early closure on Sundays. On top of that, the place smelled strongly of marijuana, which made it even less inviting. We won't be going back... If you're in the area, stick with Pourter's...great food, great service, and no weird surprises.

We spent the afternoon at Burl Brew at The Burl, and honestly... 10/10 vibes…read more The weather was perfect, so we grabbed a seat outside and soaked it all in. There's plenty of seating, a super cool laid-back atmosphere, and the kind of crowd that makes you feel like you picked the right place without even trying. Bonus: the UK basketball game was on, the place was packed with fans, and the Cats WON so the energy was immaculate. High fives, cheers, happy strangers everywhere. You love to see it. We had the German Pilsner and the American Light. Both were crisp, refreshing, and exactly what you want in hand while celebrating a UK win. No notes. It's one of those spots where you go for "just a quick drink" and immediately start planning your next visit. We'll definitely be back to try food from Lucy's and hopefully catch a show next time. Great beer, great crowd, great vibes. Go Cats.

Band was excellent as always. It truly does look like an Enchanted Forest, with lots of trees, natural (stone seating) with a magical atmosphere. We had already eaten prior to our arrival and aren't big drinkers but they had water stations set up which was really handy. Spinellis Pizza is located in the front of the outdoor area so that is the food option. Full bar offerings located in several spots around the inside and outside areas. Street parking and a huge, free city located a block to the east. Highly recommend if only for the atmosphere.

We visited Renfro Valley Entertainment back in October for the Boxmasters. We had never been to the…read morevenue before, but it was easy to park, easy to obtain tickets, and, best of all, it was nonsmoking. Also, the restrooms were clean, and the drinks were responsible for the amount served. We have zero complaints. Plus, it's more of an up-close and personal experience with the bands, not like the 20k-seat venues.

This IS where you need to go to accomplish either Check it out before the seasonal menu - decor are gone Popped in here Tuesday (mostly to sit beside the decor) & for a holiday coffee with a small bite. The moment you walk in you're engulfed in kitschy decor and... it's GREAT!! My server was so nice. Showed me their standard menu & the holiday menu. Even pointed out there was an upstairs ((which wasn't aware of)) I placed my order: peppermint mocha & a sausage egg cheese croissant. Neither disappointed! They also have seasonal cocktails as well.

This place was also down the block from our Airbnb so we could walk there. They had a lot of boozy coffee drinks and I really like that. I decided to try their Espresso Martini. This was our last bar stop prior to going out to dinner with friends. My drink had a house made espresso, Absolut vodka, Borghetti (coffee liqueur), a rich simple syrup, and coffee beans. My drink was rich and delicious and I absolutely loved their espresso. I do not recall what drinks my friends ordered. By the time we were leaving there was plenty of people in the place and appeared there was some sort of event gathering. We will have to come back here and with all the coffee drinks they had this may well be the place to start our day next time.

Will definitely be coming back to check it out on a busier day. They had a food truck, but since it wasn't busy they closed early. They also had a menu for a local place nearby to deliver food, but they were also closed. I heard great things about both the food truck and the local food delivery, which is why I am itching to go back! The service was great, and our bartender was extremely friendly and knowledgeable. Our drinks were delicious! Will be back soon!

What used to be the Rocky's by the river is now a pretty decent music venue. I came here with some…read morefriends to see a 90's country cover band. Since this is a relatively new venue, there were some kinks. Going in, we didn't have tickets so we went to the counter to purchase. There really wasn't any direction at the door so we kind of just wandered in. We found where we could purchase tickets for the show but with the lack of direction - we could have just walked in without paying. There are multiple restrooms and they were extremely clean, even later in the night. There is a raised section with some seating. Plenty of dance space. There is also a bar with both cocktails and draft beer (mostly Upland Brewing offerings). Prices weren't bad and the line moved pretty quickly. The venue holds a pretty decent amount of people and I look forward to seeing more shows there. Not going to lie, I already have tickets to see O-Town ($20 tickets - I was NOT going to pass this up!)

I have now been to several shows through the years at Mercury Ballroom - it is high time for a…read morereview! The pros - - no bad seat in the house, but if you're ground level general admission be prepared to stand with us plebs. Seats are for the VIPs and folks who need the accommodation upstairs. Such is life. - Mercury Ballroom is maybe the most intimate large music venues in town. Downstairs GA gets right up by the stage and even 'the back of the room' is only ~20 feet away. - Tickets here are typically quite reasonable. Watch for the $25 show promos that happen once or twice per year. - Friendly staff! - Access to snacks and beverages upstairs and downstairs. - Upstairs accessible by stairs or elevator - Coat check available. The cons - (not their fault, no stars taken) - I struggle to find a selection of great meal options pre-show right now in this theater district part of downtown. Shout-out to the pizza guys down the street for filling my belly pre-show, you're real ones!

As a guy in my 40s, I will admit that general admission standing venues are not my favorite…read more Particularly since I'm a average height. But this venue is about as good of this type of venue as you could hope for. It's clean and has a very good sound system. A lot of good acts come through. As it's true throughout the industry, ticket prices are getting crazier all the time. And there are actually options for seating that come at an additional inflated price. So you can drop a lot of money here in a very short period of time. But I've seen a lot of good shows here and will continue to do so.
