    The Legwarmers covering Journey
    Jessica W.

    My husband and I went out to dinner and met a couple who mentioned this place playing 80s music so we decided to stop by and we actually stayed for the entire Legwarmer show! It was such a fun time listening to a bunch of our favorite songs. The atmosphere was great, the bartender was friendly, the drinks were good, and it was clean. Can't wait to go back!

    I came to a show here Saturday night. I loved the space! The main venue was open to an outdoor area with fire pits and tables. The food and drink prices were exceptionally good! I got 2 draft beers, a cosmo, a hard Arizona tea and a cider for around $24!!! The food menu was pub grub, but was quickly prepared and tasty! They have large screens placed through all areas so you can still see & hear the show. They could use another restroom or two bc the lines get super long during events. Other than that, I have no complaints. The draft beer selection was great, the food was yummy, and it still felt spacious even with a large crowd. Free parking is also a wonderful bonus. I'll definitely be back for more shows here.

    Teddy Swims! Go listen to him !!

    Great, small venue to see up and coming artists. I'm so thankful that I got the chance to see Teddy Swims live at XL Live. This venue holds about 1100 people and it was a very good sized crowd. Drinks were good and everything was run well inside and orderly. I'd definitely come back to this venue to see another show. And if you don't know who Teddy Swims is, I highly suggest you check out his music and visit his website. https://sleepisexhausting.teddyswims.com

    Here for a RKS show! Open space but come on 1 bathroom area the line was all the way to the bar! BOO! One beer & Long Island iced tea was 21.00 what that is to be expected! Big groups of people aren't really my thing but I was willing to give it a try to see this band.

    I attended the LovelyTheBand and Beach Weather concert and it was nothing short of amazing. Great ambience and lots of space to house the audience. While I didn't get a chance to taste their food the drinks were good and there was a wide selection of cocktails. The auditorium seems to have some leak from the roof but that wasn't much of nuisance. Great spot in Harrisburg for concerts.

    Hard to find anything to complain about in this new Harrisburg music venue. Parking is free, adjacent to the venue, well lit and attended. During last night's snowstorm, even got parked under 83 overpass, so my car was still snow free at 11. Check-in is fast and efficient, and mobile ticketing is accepted. The interior is sizable, divided into several discreet areas but all with a view of the stage. The main/center section has a large open area in front of the stage, with a few tables and a bar at the rear. Several craft beers on tap at reasonable prices. The center section also has a balcony on one side, part of which had couches and was roped off, probably available for a premium price; but a nice place to party for a small group special event. The left section had two pool tables, pinball and a snack grill, plus places to sit away from the crowd. Big screen TVs, giving a different perspective of the stage, are present in this and in the right section, which also has additional places to sit. Bathrooms were clean, as was just about everything. In fact, it felt a little sterile; but I'm used to live music in some pretty grungy bars. Acoustics and sound system were good, and light show was fine. I'm really happy to see this addition to the Harrisburg music scene. Waiting to see what acts pass through.

    Awesome modern venue and a crown jewel of entertainment complexes in Harrisburg. It doesn't get any bigger or better than this place for miles around. The sound and lights are amazing and the local and national touring acts that come through are varied for different demographics and customer bases. Metal, country, hip hop, dance music, etc. every week there's something going on with low ticket prices or no boxer events. Free parking is a huge plus. Proximity to downtown makes an Uber ride inexpensive. Drink prices are fair and they do run specials. So what's not to like? Not much. Clean bathrooms, good service at the bars and a kitchen serving food are more positive attributes this club has and will hopefully sustain it long into the future. How lucky are the people of Harrisburg to have this venue! Yay!!! Rock on!!!

    I went to XL Live to watch Lil Skies perform and it was great. The security was chill and it was very quick to get in; no lines. The DJ kept it interesting and there were plenty of places to watch the concert. I don't know about the food but the drinks were nice. Either way I would recommend XL Live.

    We got to see Smoothe Like Clyde + Kurt Vile there. Planning to go back for Bone Thugs N Harmony. The layout of the club is as follows: Theres a nice sized dance floor which can accommodate aprx 1000+ people. The bar is in the back of this floor. There are a few small high tables to sit at. There's a upper tier reserved section for bottle service, aka boat loads of $$$. There's an outside deck, that's sealed off from the wind with clear plastic, and a patio / courtyard with a fireplace and outdoor seating. There's a small cafe / kitchen with seating for a few dozen. It's a standard bar food type menu do you won't starve. There's a few pool tables & restrooms nearby. XL Live has a coat check. Free parking in an adjacent lot. They check ID & at down for security, so be ready. You can skip Ticketmaster Fees by buying tickets at the customer service desk, which is open 11:30-1:30 weekdays, and until the event stays the day of.

    Ask the Community - XL Live

    Will there be a 2021 Halloween party? If so, what is planned and will there be a cover charge?

    I think they just had it. I saw some pictures from one recently like last weekend.

    Is it still 21+ or has it changed since 3 years ago?

    It's 21+ but they do accept minors as long as they're accompanied by an adult 25 or older

    18+ or 21+?

    For right now we're just 21+, but we plan to do all age shows in the near future

    I used to enjoy this place weekends late at night for a different vibe than all other downtown…read morebars. But then I went here Saturday night around 1 am and was charged a $5 cover. When did they start that? Why? To kill off their business obviously. The door man told us we'd have to wait a few minutes to "clear some people out," so I'm thinking it's packed and poppin'. Cleared out, yes, poppin', no. Basically, I will return again only if: I'm too drunk to remember why I shouldn't go here or if I have a date I want to dance with alone on the dance floor. Or maybe take a dump in the bathroom since it's not too busy and I could have privacy. All three above scenarios seem unlikely, so I won't be back any time soon.

    Knock has to be one of the coolest bars in the Harrisburg area, and I cannot wait to go back…read more I recently visited Knock during Harrisburg's parade day, after a long day of day drinking. My best friend, who lives locally, told us about the place. We were hesitant leaving the comfort of 2nd street, but we followed her down Pine Street and stopped at the entrance to "Madam Knock's Pine Street Beauty Parlor." After giving the bouncer the weekly password (this can be found on their facebook /knock.hbg, twitter @knock_hbg, or instagram @knock_hbg), we went up a flight of stairs and entered the Beauty Parlor. The Beauty Parlor was set up perfectly, and after giving the password one more time, the bookshelf vanished to the side.... and TA DA! We entered the Speakeasy, a whole new world. The music was pumping, the drinks were flowing, people were dancing, the lights were low, and we were in for a good time. The entire bar/ club has a Prohibition-era style fashion with dark hardwood floors, lots of purple, and chandeliers. The bar was located all the way to the back, which is also where the exit is. There is a dance floor in the middle, and centered is a DJ. There are a few seating areas in addition to the VIP sections. I think there was a total of 3 VIP sections which ran about $250 + per a night. The drinks were fruity and presented well- I wish I could comment on the price, but I really can't recall. You can browse their drink menu on their website. Knock is only open on Fridays and Saturdays from 9 PM until 2 AM. This is a Harrisburg MUST.

    My boyfriend and I had a great time--especially since we were part of the small group of Black…read morepeople there, which made the experience feel unique. The drinks were affordable and strong, which was a definite plus. However, my main issue with The Lodge is the seating situation near the stage. If you're sitting in front, be prepared for people to stand directly in front of you during the drag show. I would've preferred if the drag queens, owner, or even security had stepped in to ask them to move. It was frustrating to have 6-foot-tall, 300-pound women completely block our view--especially after paying $18 per ticket. Also, watch out for this one wild white lady in a black shirt and floral shorts who acts invisible and blocks multiple people. If you ask her politely to move, she'll argue with you and even try to escalate things by telling you to "step outside" like she's about that life. Overall, for our first drag show, we had fun--but if you're going to enjoy the performance, be ready to be annoyed because no one there is enforcing basic courtesy or crowd control. Yes this is coming from the gorgeous black queen with the pink/purple hair

Looking for great house music, cheap drinks, and a small town vibe that still has a piece of metropolitan life? Go to the Lodge. The drag queens are fab and super sweet and all about the jello shots lol. My wife and I went and had a great time though it was sleepier than we remembered it. Fair warning it is located in an area that's very dark at night so be on high alert. If coming from Hagerstown it will be on your left, if Frederick your right.
