I went to my first Gainesville LTJ show at the Venue on Friday night and it was a decent place to…read moresee a show. When I walked in, I was struck by the weird mobile-type things hanging from the ceiling, which gave the place a certain artsy appeal. There are multiple levels leading down to the stage, allowing for people to go as close or stay as far away from the floor as they please. And if you choose to get close, be aware that you won't be able to get toooo close, because there are GIANT bouncers waiting at the edge to cart you away. Sound was decent, bartenders were nice. The place was wrecked by the end of the show though, with cigarettes and empty beer cans all over the place! I guess I'm spoiled by the no-smoking-allowed-throw-all-your-shit-away clubs we have up in Boston. But regardless, I had a great time at this show and would most certainly return for another LTJ show!

As far as seeing the band, unless you're down on the lower two levels, you're going to have a hard time. People crowd to the front of each step, and will completely impede your view. I admit, I never went much further up; the darkness was somewhat imposing. The view is probably better up there.

It was only $7 which is very reasonable, but I think it changes with whoever is playing. The Décor and the style of this place is really classy and makes you feel like you're not in college town. One thing that i feel could be better is some of the quality of the drinks. We did have the espresso martini which was perfect. But we also ordered a long island and the bubblegum mocktail. Both were nothing special. The bubblegum one tasted like thick cough syrup that I couldn't even finish it. Overall, this place is great and we definitely will be back to see another show.

The pool tables and the dart boards are high quality and the people working there are really nice and helpful. I'm looking forward to having a nice place to play pool on this side of town!

I was blessed with this amazing restaurant to have right downstairs so I'm going to tell you why I think so highly of it. Atmosphere/Appearance: The restaurant is so modern, chic, bright and fun. The décor is lovely and very thought-through. The restaurant spans half of the hotel's lobby with the bar area being right near the front desk, but the dining area directly on the opposite end. There's access to outdoor seating as well if you're feeling it. Service: So throughout my stay at the hotel, Kayla, Thomas and Desiree took care of me for breakfast. They were all amazing at making me feel truly special, almost like royalty. I remember Thomas's bubbly personality, Desiree's talkative spirit and Kayla's ability to cater to everything I needed. I appreciated every one of them. Frederick took care of me at the bar for the one dinner I had and he was awesome. He made me feel like he was a friend of mine whom just happened to be working there. Lol. Food: Breakfasts first. The first thing I ever ordered were the breakfast tacos. They're warm, soft tortillas served with scrambled eggs or egg whites, (I chose traditional scrambled eggs), with a choice of bacon, sausage or chorizo, (I went with all 3), topped with shredded cheese and pico de gallo. You can get breakfast potatoes or a side of fruit to go with the 2 tacos. They were fabulous. The only thing they were missing was some sort of salsa to throw on top. The pico just wasn't enough. This dish was certainly filling. Next breakfast entrée was the Street Corn Hash, which is a bed of chorizo corn hash and black beans topped with 2 eggs of any kind (I had scrambled), cotija cheese, cream and several slices of avocado. This was DELICIOUS. The chorizo was decently spicy, the eggs were fluffy and the whole mixture went together very well. It's much less messy to eat compared to the tacos and of course... I added some hot sauce to it. Lol. Like the tacos. They just need some sauces man. My next and favorite breakfast entrée (I got it 3 times during my visit) is the Superfood Bowl. This is such a beautiful looking, sweet tasting, healthy feeling, spirit lifting dish complied of acai puree paired with coconut milk & chia seed pudding, sliced banana, shredded coconut and crunchy granola. Like I said, this was SO GOOD and literally made me feel so good throughout the entire day. So I did stop by the bar one of the evenings to check out some of the dishes and here's how that went. I tried both their Mahi Tacos and Pork Tacos since the bar was slow. Usually you get an order of 2 with one or the other, but the kitchen hooked me up with one of each. I genuinely appreciated that. Each of the tacos are are compiled of grilled corn tortillas, a red onion-lime slaw, cilantro and the meat of your choice served with a barbecue creama or ranch. They were both decent, but the mahi came out just a little dry. The pork was much better. The wings I had really aren't even worth mentioning. They were okay, but I feel like they were on the menu simply because they're a popular table appetizer. They're just fried and tossed in some sauce, not my favorite. All-in-all, the breakfast here was superior to dinner. Value: Pretty good to be honest. Nothing too crazy here and everything is worth what it's priced at. Breakfast Tacos = $11.00 Street Corn Hash = $13.00 Superfood Bowl = $14.00 Wings = $9.00 Tacos = $14.00 In conclusion, I LOVED this place for its breakfast. Even if I weren't staying here, I'd come here to have their breakfast. JUST GET SOME SALSA IN THERE! Lol.
