It also offers balcony seating for those who want to get a bird's eye view and have an option to sit. There's really no bad seat in the place. Being on campus it definitely has that college bar type feel, but it's still welcoming for show-goers of all ages. I really like that they get quality entertainment for all to enjoy. Staff were great at getting people in quickly and efficiently. Staff at the bar were great as well, easily keeping up with the large number of people at the show. Overall, my experience here was great. I've easily seen over 100 live shows at a variety of different venues, and Canopy Club definitely holds it's own. It's a great venue that I'll keep coming back to.

Cowboy Monkey has a nice outdoor space, and they were totally dog-friendly. The service we experienced was top notch. We ordered several kinds of taco, all of which were unique and flavourful. We also had tortilla chips with salsa, quac, and a queso dip, all of which were really quite good, too. They also have a nice selection of beers and other drinks. And the bill was entirely reasonable. No complaints!

Pour Bros is a great way to get a sample of beers from around here and worldwide. Get as little or as much as you would like to get. The price varies. Coming here a few times it's like there's always something else you can get. It's got shit tons of beers along the wall you can fill up on your own. The first thing is to get a card so you can activate taps. Every beer is at a price. It's per ounce and it adds up. Best one we got of these was the Wake Brewery selection Frost Hammer. It's $0.80 an ounce, which is one of the more expensive ones. Can bring food in here. They also have free popcorn. Have to know there's no special events before going or you will have to pay a cover. It's located on University at Market. There's not really any food but you can bring in stuff.

If you haven't been to Bentley's in a while, it's probably a lot different than the last time you…read morewent there. Whoever it was that was working, probably isn't there anymore. The bands aren't playing. The karaoke has stopped. The clientele has changed a bit. Fu is running the place now, so that means, if you want a "Little White Lie" or "Hot and Dirty Pickle", you go here for it, and not to Radio Maria. He brought over his InFUsions, when he took over. He's revamped the cocktail list, and is working hard on the beer selection. When I get done bartending, I like to have a drink to unwind. I prefer to have a little bit of quiet alone time, time to get away from the happy revelers that I've just been serving. I don't need a lot of time, I just want a little bit of time away from people. Maybe, I don't want to talk anymore. I need a vest like working dogs have that says "don't pet me". There are a lot of service industry folk who are the same way. Bentley's is currently the "safe space" for bartenders. Without the music and karaoke, it's not filled with the drunken revelers. It does, however, have some of the best drinks, at affordable prices, and the unwashed masses are staying away. I can live with that. But then, if the bartenders are all drinking here, doesn't that mean it's probably the best? If it's where the professionals go... then, that should tell you something.

We laughed, we cried, we sang along, I drank 6 dollar beers, I stood in line to go to the bathroom.. First off the theater is beautiful and older, It does have some nice updates and the smell of popcorn right when you walk in hit me pretty darn hard! I got my ticket on Stub Hub so the only staff members I experienced were the ushers and bartenders both who were fantastically kind. I love the Roger Ebert statue outside the theater a perfect intro to the theater and a perfect spot to take a thumbs up photo with everyone's favorite critic. I got 3rd row ticket for 15 buck on Stub Hub so my experience during the show was fantastic, but if you are hard of hearing I might actually sit up in the balcony cause it was pretty quiet where I was sitting. Seats were comfy and the sound was quiet but great! Bathroom situations in these old theaters is all the same, your going be waiting in line but once you get in, they are clean and nice!
