I love small venues for live shows. With just a couple hundred people you can feel like you're surrounded by so many more. The entrance is a bit hidden off to the side of the building. The ticket booth is literally one step inside the door, so if people have to wait in line it will be outside (not always great for cold days). But once you get inside, the venue really shines.
The venue is intimate yet feels larger than expected. The stage was perfect height, and we were able to enjoy the show without a barrier (luckily everyone was respectful of the artists too). There are a couple bars (only one was open) with space for the merch booth. The upstairs was closed off, probably due to the size of the show. Men's room was clean and not just single use. Huge bonus for actually having stalls with doors!
I wish the surrounding shops/stores were open to make the area a bit more lively because the strip looked like it could be really fun. All in all, I'd happily see another show here.
Loss of one star for the parking situation. 2 hour parking at a place that plays concerts? We ended up paying $10 to park in the lot right there, which to me seems steep (despite some paying $20 for VIP parking which is literally just parking on the other side of cones they set up) for a small venue in an area where parking is pretty wide open if not for the 2 hour restriction. read more
