Felt like someone was going to knock over the tiny record displays. There was a lot going on so it was hard to see that there was an area which let outside because there was stuff in the doorway, so I am glad I caught it. Went out to a little courtyard area. I went during the day, so probably a way better place at night when its poppin. Super cute decore. Looks like a chill place for a drink. Oh and since it was my first time there, I asked the dude on the record side a few questions and he looked annoyed and talked to me like I was an idiot. So thanks for making everyone feel welcome!

Amazing experience!…read more We saw a concert last night at Arlington Music Hall. This was our first time here. TICKETING We found the concerts we wanted to see on the Arlington Music Hall's website. Then we initiated our purchases online through their ticketing agent - Eventbrite. We got a confirmation via email from Eventbrite. TICKET SAVING We downloaded the Eventbrite app and were able to download our tickets into our Apple Wallets on our iPhones. Perfect! PARKING There is free street parking in front of and around the corner from the venue. There is a lot and ramps within a block or two that are also free. Winning! DOORs vs SHOW Our show start time was 8pm. Doors for this show opened at 6:00. We were not able to go into the theater portion of the facility until 7:30. We arrived around 7:00. LOBBY, BAR, SNACK BAR There were staff members in the lobby scanning tickets for entry and that went fast. You may stand in the lobby area to wait for the theater doors to open, but the space there is limited. Behind the lobby is the Bar and Snack Bar area. There are a number of small, round high-top tables to stand at and there are cushioned bench seats along two long walls to sit on. The Bar also has some tall chairs for customer use. We didn't buy any cocktails, so no idea on the cost but I've read that its reasonable. The Snack Bar has water, beer, soft drinks, candy, popcorn, hot dogs, nachos, bbq sandwiches and such. And the pricing is very reasonable vs any other live music venue I've been too. RESTROOMS The restrooms are located near the bar/snack bar. I found the men's room to be clean, have a number or urinals and stalls. Very functional. THEATER GENERAL The Theater has two entry doors, so two long aisles from back to front. The sound and light boards are located between the aisles at the back of the theater (between the entry doors). About 2/3 the way towards the stage, there is an aisle going across the theater connecting the two long aisles. There is a balcony. Unsure if/when it is used, how many seats it has or how to access it. STAGE The stage is quite large in width and depth. It has a very high ceiling which likely easily accommodates tall backdrop set pieces and curtains. SOUND I saw short linear array speakers hanging from the ceiling in front of the stage. There may have been some subwoofer modules on stage behind curtains - unsure. The sound was quite adequate for this space. Note too that the walls seems to be concrete or stucco, so pretty reflective of sound. The sound team seemed to do a great job of managing levels and EQs. LIGHTING There are various uplighting on stage, downlighting above stage, lighting at the ceiling maybe 40 feet out from stage plus spot lights, likely up near the balcony. Lighting was well done and that team was responsive to the entertainers needs as he called out from stage a couple of times. SEATING / AISLE DEPTH Wow the seating was really comfortable. Cushy and wide and with cup holders in each of the arm rests. The aisle depth at your feet was enough that people could pass by you without the need for you to stand or leave your row. CONCLUSION We been to a lot of theaters around the country. This one is quite comfortable. More so that many we've been too. We have two more shows booked to see here. Looking forward to coming back.

STEPH JUDGMENT: Pleasant park-like venue for concerts/festivals…read more Came here for the NOFX final Punk in Drublic tour and we had a blast! We got dropped off in the parking lot by our Lyft about 30 minutes before the gates opened and had a short walk to where a pretty substantial line had already formed. Staff came by to do ID checks and distribute wrist bands for alcohol, and the entry was smooth and efficient. We headed to the beer tents and spent the next couple of hours doing tastings before the music started. I was glad the day was kind of cool and overcast, as there wasn't a ton of shade or seating in the beer tents area. There was a lone park bench that we were lucky enough to grab for a while. Once the music started we moved over to the stage area, which had an expansive lawn, and locals in the know were prepared with blankets. Alas, we weren't as prepared, but thankfully the grass was not bad to lounge on sans blankets. There were plenty of food vendors and portapotties, as well as picnic tables, and the sound was pretty good. After the show we thought it'd be too chaotic to try calling a car right at the venue, so we walked out about half mile to a Taco Bell to call a car (and get a snack), and it looked like a lot of other people had the same idea. It worked out well, though, and we give our Panther Island experience a thumbs up, despite the fact that it wasn't an island and there were no panthers.

Wtf Backyard! $15 for a Long Island. that is insane. Booooo!!!!! How are we supposed to have fun…read morein this recession. And! The ticket said gates open at 6:00 event at 7:00. At 7:30 they played like 2 games and the first band didn't come on until after 8:00. The main band didn't come on until after 9:00! We came early to get food at Texas live but Geash I could have gotten food at 7:00 and not been worried about getting in for the band to start at 7:00. instead we got food at 5:00. To come in at 6:00 to find a good place to stand and watch the band but didn't hear a band for 2 hours.... How are w you going to start that late. The ticket lead me to believe the main event was at 7:00 not after 9:00. And I'm angry bc I'm not drunk bc I can't afford yalls drinks Writing this review is the most entertainment I had in the first 4 hours waiting for the band. All in all it was fun. But get the timing right. It was one star but Giovanni and the Hired guns did such a good show I'll bump it up since it was worth the wait. But I'm still disappointed that nothing started on time.

We have been to two country band concerts at Arlington Backyard and I really like the venue. It is…read moreoutdoors with big ceiling fans so the air moves around. There is over hang so if it is raining you can stay dry in most of the place. You have general admission which is the way to go you can get pretty close to the front. The very front is a reserved seating. On the second floor it cost more but if you do not get on the rail you cannot see anything. Do not get second floor unless you go early and get a rail seat. Or what we did is go downstairs to general admission. You have plenty of bars for drinks and beer 10 dollars for beer but it is a large beer. You can go into Live and other restaurants just make sure you get a wrist stamp. The sound is very good it is loud but fun you will have hearing loss one day like me. The first band we saw had a large video screen it was great. The second time no video screen not good. The only bad thing I saw was getting into the venue they have a very long line to go through metal detectors. This is dumb you can go all over the place inside Live, all the restaurants everywhere no body stops you or searches you. But to go into the Backyard you have to get searched. Parking is free at this time to the east of the place. Not free during Ranger games.

I've recently visited the newly opened Daydream Bookstore & Cafe in Downtown Arlington five or six…read moretimes now, and I've enjoyed it every time. It's a unique brick-and-mortar spot on East Front Street that combines a specialized romance bookstore with a full coffee bar. I've read some of the books they have on display, and yes, they lean towards trashy romance, but they are enjoyable in their own way, distracting, and have a way of creating their own immersive universes. The espresso is well done, in terms of quality of ingredients and equipment. The founder as I understand it grew up learning to pull strong espresso from her Cuban father, and it shows. My only minor critique is that some baristas have occasionally put more milk in my cup than is standard for a traditional cappuccino. The shop has an approachable, blush-pink, and cozy curated feel with marble tabletops. The founder, Alma Sardas, is a first-generation UTA grad who majored in public relations and advertising and previously worked in the corporate communications sector. You can see that PR and branding background in the shop's aesthetics. While it tries to be kind of a "third space" for the community to unplug and connect over romance novels, the seating is truly at its best only when there are a few people. I feel like trying to read, talk, or work from here for too long when it gets busy wouldn't be ideal. Overall, it is a beautifully and thoughtfully designed little space that I'll continue to visit as long as they're around.
