Bonkerz Comedy Club moved this venue from The Corner (next door) to the Social for the evening. I'm…read morenot sure why, but I hope it's a permanent change if it continues to be downtown (I still like when it was at the bowling alley). The lighting on the stage wasn't that great as the projected screen got in the way of the other lighting. They need to light it more from the bar area instead of right above the stage pointing down. Not the best. Most of the seating was those tiny uncomfortable stools with no backs, but the bar had seats that were bigger and had backs to them. I'm glad we were able to sit there. Drinks were good and the big buckets were only $15 which is pretty good for any cocktail these days. They also had lots of choices for hard alcohol and beers available. Staff was great and kept checking in. And the Pizza looked good too, although I didn't have any. I just scowled at other patrons consuming it. Overall, this was a good place with good views of the stage from multiple angles and I'd go here to see a show again!

Overall super cool venue with awesome sound hope to come back here again at some point for another show! Until then see you in the circle pit!

This place is great! We went for a live jazz performance. There is no food, just a bar…read more We were in section B and honestly it was great! I wouldn't recommend section C - they had those tall metal chairs that look uncomfortable in that section. I honestly wish I'd got section A, but those shows sell out so quickly that it seems harder to snag those. The sound was amazing & the band was really talented. The look/vibe is really great too! The doors don't open till right before showtime, but there's covered tables & chairs to sit & wait. Parking was a bit tight. The doormen were very fast & efficient. Everyone was friendly too! Overall I really like The Abbey & am going back again in a few weeks, Oh - pro tip - there's an absolutely OUTSTANDING sushi restaurant around the corner & they were very accommodating when we said we were in a hurry to get to the show on time. Check them out!

Hidden deep inside a strip mall in central Florida you will find this awesome venue that has a good amount of standing space as well as very good sound that's sure to leave your ear drums ringing from the noise! They have a full bar with drinks and brews all of which were decently priced for a venue which is very rare now a days! The bartender noticed us fast and was very friendly to get our drinks each time which at a venue is a very rare thing so much love to them for that! We came here for The Casualties which was a super fun show at a small venue you really can't go wrong so do yourself a favor and if a band you like is playing here come see them and help keep the scene alive! Until next time I'll see you in the circle pit!

First time at The Plaza Live on Bumby Road and honestly... such a great experience from start to…read morefinish! The venue itself is surprisingly spacious. The ground floor has plenty of room to move around and enjoy the show without feeling cramped, which I really appreciated. They also have upstairs seating options if you're looking for a more elevated (and probably pricier) experience--but it's nice to have that flexibility depending on your vibe. Whether you want to stay for hours or just pop in and enjoy the performance, it caters to both. Staff were friendly and efficient all around. The bar setup was a huge plus--there were multiple bartenders working, so drinks came out quickly. Perfect for grabbing something before the show or doing a quick pregame without missing the fun. I came specifically to see Calum Scott, and WOW--he did not disappoint. His voice is even more incredible live, and you can tell he genuinely connects with the audience. Super kind energy, amazing stage presence, and just an all-around beautiful performance. The production was also top tier. The lighting and laser effects were phenomenal and really elevated the entire experience--it felt immersive without being overwhelming. One moment that really stood out was how the staff handled an emergency situation in the audience. Security and the team responded quickly and professionally, making sure the individual got the help they needed. That level of care and organization says a lot about the venue. Overall, such a solid first impression. Great layout, fast service, amazing performances, and a team that clearly knows what they're doing. I'll definitely be back--especially if they bring in more DJs or artists in the future!

I've been to the plaza during another event that was in their parking lot plus inside. At that…read moreevent it was market based so vendors were selling inside. I recall feeling like it was too crowded and too dark to see the vendors at the time. I wished it had felt more controlled but there was rain outside and so everyone was seeking refuge inside and it maybe just got out of hand. This time I came for a comedy show. We had seats upstairs which is a standard seated balcony. These seats are fixed, unlike the ground floor which can be seated or standing. I'm glad we had these seats because the ground floor seats looked like those ones you would find at a conference dinner table and are too small for your bum plus not comfortable at all. The balcony seats are spacious and have cup holders plus the venue is small enough that you aren't too far away. Honestly it's worth it up there. Now...I love the idea of local venues staying open but this space just feels like no updates have happened since 1980 and I know that's not true. It feels dingy and unkempt. I'm not sure if this means anything to anyone but it made me itchy. Anyhow, parking is easy, tickets don't tend to be expensive and it's local so I'm still glad it's here.
