    The First Baptist Congregation in Columbus built the cathedral now housing the Bluestone in 1898…read more Much of the architectural elements remain, while the purpose of the structure has fundamentally changed. It has been converted into a multi room entertainment venue, hosting large regional and National acts. As it is easy to imagine, the acoustics are superb. The ambience is special in that it is not a plain, bland, run of the mill auditorium. The several concerts that I have attended here have had strict security entrance requirements. This can result in lines of people queuing up, waiting to be screened and cleared. This of course can result in some delay for entry. My advice is to show up early in order to accommodate this extra time needed. I have posted some photos of the line so you can have a better idea of what goes on. There is parking available nearby, but this is also an issue that should be thought out in advance. I have utilized car service when visiting Bluestone, which really just made things a whole lot easier.

    Pretty cool venue. Right off the highway I-71. Good sound system & lighting. Nice big ground…read morefloor with no seats so great to stand. Second level has seats but you can stand behind them. Be sure to get a good buzz before entering because drinks cost waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay too much. $14 for a beer. Cheaper at the ball field.

    This is a tough one. I love live music so much that it's tough for me to not sing the praises of a…read morevenue that's offering it, especially these days, ya know? It's not a cheap endeavor, running a music venue. So, I do give them props for that. But I have to be honest, I didn't love seeing a show here. The biggest issue, as others have said, is that there are giant pillars in the middle of the floor that get in the way of the view. Luckily we ended up right in the front against the barriers so it was ok for the most part but I was afraid to move at any point lest we lose our spot and I'd get stuck with an obstructed view. As a bar it's also pretty bare bones. Only a few small cocktail tables and chairs, making it a mostly standing room venue. The drink menu is limited and expensive. There's a pizza counter which was a nice option since we hadn't had dinner before the show but at $7 for a slice of NY style pepperoni pizza we couldn't justify having more than one slice each. We also came a bit early during sound check since we were friends with the band playing the venue and the staff was really nice and welcoming to us as guests, so that's definitely worth a shout out. Great people there! Especially security. High fives for that. For the artists there isn't really a "backstage" area perse, nor is there a dedicated artist restroom. The venue made accommodations for bands to take over one of the three bathrooms but unfortunately that meant there was one less bathroom for the near sold out crowd to use. Not sure if this something do for all acts but if so, I can understand how folks would get frustrated by waits for the toilet. WITH ALL THAT SAID, a dive bar with crappy sightlines, bad beer, and a sus bathroom situation is pretty punk rock. I cut my teeth in venues like that. There's something wonderful about sticky floors and sweaty nights. But the problem is I'm not sure if A & R Music Bar sees itself that way. And it's that disconnect that leaves me wanting more.

    Went to see Deep Sea Diver here last week. It was my first time there, so I wasn't sure what to…read moreexpect. Since it's SRO, I showed up just for the headliner. I did see there were a few small high tops placed oddly in the very back, by the merch table. It was a really hot and humid day, with thunderstorms earlier in the evening. I expected it to be unbearably hot and humid inside, but it was surprisingly comfortable! I could even feel the AC. That really helped with the overall experience. The sound was great, even to the right side of the stage. My only complaint was the giant pillars obstructing my view. I would definitely go see a show here again.
