We'd planned to stay for one or two, listen to a few songs and move on to the next , but the entertainment was so good we stayed way longer than we initially intended and don't regret it a bit.

The last time I went to this auditorium was 35 years ago when my older Cousin Amy performed at a…read moredance recital and here I was last night all those years later and little has changed , it's a quaint theater and quite frankly reminds me of the old movie theaters. The air was heavy as in no air flow quality at all, so if the audience was warm can you imagine what the girls dancing their hearts out must've felt like. I've said this previously about older theaters ...if you want flashy go to Los Angeles, Ojai at heart is a small town that wishes to preserve the history and I for one commend them for that, which is rare because Ojai & I rarely agree on anything. Parking was a nightmare though, I ended up parking 3 blocks away, the show was from 7-10 and by the time I left there was little to know lighting on the sidewalks to make my way back. Thanks to my trusted iPhone flashlight I made it to my car. Most of all I was just so happy to see my Baby cousin perform, it was a fun night.

Saw a concert last night, David Lindley…read more Sound quailty is ok, I would go back. Parking sucks, and they have the school parking gated off?? They could have open the parking lot up. Of course people in Ojai are pushy and stareat you if they do not know you, so just have to pretend they do not exist. They over sold the venue so they were putting up chairs in the front row, as the muscians were playing?? Just so "special" people who came late didn't have to stand. Ummm someone is playing on the stage? Ojai people live in a world of high drama. Snack truck was out front, pleanty of restrooms. Just get there early for good seats (and parking) and please don't sit in the specially marked seats.

Ok first off - the sound is pretty good. Not the greatest ever but good. Since that's what you…read moremostly come for, I rated this 3 stars instead of 2. They get some good artists too. Those are the pros. Cons, though, are significant. For $60, you expect more than an unpadded, plastic folding chair packed in shoulder to shoulder. Very uncomfortable, especially when the show started late. Speaking of times- they didn't publicize the correct end time for the concert on the website. That's a problem when you are planning on getting a ride home, and suddenly you're done over an hour early. Then there's the lighting. Bright AF and they would just randomly roll around in the fixtures, blinding the audience temporarily. It was physically uncomfortable, not just got me but for several around me. And once the show was over, security started to yell at people rudely to leave and "go talk outside". Even people finishing drinks or, like I was, waiting for my minor child to exit the restroom. (Speaking of the restroom, several of the stall doors in the women's stick.) So yeah, great sound, good artist, but I don't think I'm going to hurry back to this venue.

It is a great intimate venue with lots of history and great sound. We parked about a half mile away and a public lot by the West Hollywood library, parking was only 12 bucks and it was a nice short walk to the venue and no traffic getting g out when we left the show. The event was sold out, and we got there right when doors opened. The line out front was not too long and security kept everybody moving really quick. Full bar and food inside. The main room is tiny, so anywhere you stand you will have a great view of the performers. I definitely plan to come back to see another show here, wish I had caught shows here in the past... Great venue.

The experience was everything but the service was horrible!…read more So after standing outside for 45mins my baby and I finally got to go inside. We thought we were so lucky by standing by the stage but then one of the workers tells us we need to move because it was cleary handicap and we did. The manager a female came to yell at me and my son along with a father who was there with his autistic son and a young lady visiting from Nashville. We were told that once show starts and no one uses space we can return to our spots. Opener came on and we moved to our spaces but then we were told only four guests had permission to stand in those areas. A lady who had shown up with her babe and the father and son. The lady got loud with me as if she was there prior to my son and I, like lady it is not that serious and I have a child! Other than the terrible experience with customer service it was an epic show. Blake Whiten even handed my son a guitar pick he used which was super awesome for his first experience at a concert!

I actually had to walk out at one point because my ears felt like they were going to explode. I know they had a sound guy there, but the place is SO small, maybe not the best venue for a punk band. Ha! The barback here was so well dressed and sweet. Bartender was quick and friendly. Cocktails and wine selections are very meh, but I had a whiskey and that worked out for me. Lots of high top tables, a decent amount of seats at the bar, and a pool table. There is also a small patio if you want to hang outside. The Maui Sugar Mill is in a strip mall, so plenty of parking available!

Spent Super Bowl Sunday at Sugar Mill, and it was the very best decision I've made in a long time…read more This place is most definitely "the little bar that could," with a great staff, fun and funny patrons, and an atmosphere that allows for both staunch fans and casual observers. Most people contribute to a pot luck feast that spans the wide world of food, from hot dogs and chili to baked ziti, tacos, meatballs, fried chicken, Chinese food, and on and on -- including some amazing homemade clam chowder from Mike The Mailman. Bartender Natalie did an amazing job of handling the busy crowd with speed and smiles. There were a couple of other staffers on site to watch the game, and they jumped in when she needed a hand with this or that, but for the most part Natalie captained the bar single-handedly for the duration. Kudos to her. It's true, Super Bowl only comes once a year, so other game days don't have the pot luck feast -- Sugar Mill doesn't have a kitchen, though they're happy to have you bring in whatever food you like and eat it there. Food aside, the crowd and the service are always just what you want, making it the perfect place to relax into at game time as Basketball enters the home stretch and baseball steps up to bat.

I first started going to The Garage about 2.5 years ago. I didn't know anyone there, I just needed…read moreto get out. Since then, I've made... more friends than I can count. Genuinely good people. One of the bartenders even ended up being my roommate for a time (and we would dance together in the living room). It was a hard time in my life when I first went there and I've grown and become, hopefully, a much better person just from experiencing the wonderful friends I've met. I could tell so many stories, but my point is simply this: This is THE BEST bar I have ever been to in my entire life and I cannot say enough good things about it and the people who run it, the regulars, bartenders, etc. Just genuinely awesome people. Even just the other day, a couple came in and they hadn't been there before, and we were just talking and they said "This is such a nice place." It's like Cheers. I walk in the door and end up hugging like everyone before I even get my name on the pool table (they also have a really nice pool table. I've been playing for years now as a result.) The owners Big J and Dave are awesome... I'm kind of overflowing with compliments here but it's just... it's the best place. If I had to choose what I was going to do with my night, my day, whatever, just getting out, it would be The Garage. Absolutely awesome. (I'm honestly just disappointed with myself that I didn't give them a Yelp review sooner. I cannot recommend this place enough. 5 stars just doesn't cut it).
