With the pandemic not totally behind us, going to venues to see live music can still be a concern. The Lot has a great socially distanced setup where you can feel safe and then enjoy a great night of music outside by the water. Just saw a great show with Joseph and the Margos

Music, movie, great food & drinks! In your own little space right by the water! I truly enjoyed the evening and the view and hope this venue is around for a long time!

The space here has potential (pleasant if bare-bones) but for the show on July 18, the sound was terrible. The amplification is just not adequate for the space - maybe it's okay in the front "pods," but the sound is just tepid anywhere else; sure, you can hear the music, but it had weak dynamics and energy. Even worse, the horn tweeters on the right were cutting in and out for the entire show (including recorded intermission music). It's a bit of a betrayal to take a dynamic band and suck most of the energy out of their performance with inadequate sound equipment. BTW, I'm no headbanger - in fact, I usually carry earplugs to indoor venues. On a positive note, the video was really well-done; sound-synced well, and cut to the musicians who were doing solos or accents. It even made up for the flat sound a bit by cueing the audience visually to what they should be hearing. But it's a music show - so disappointing that you couldn't appreciate the actual audio.

Easy to get to, well organized, grounds are well maintained, toilets are not smelly, they have a hand washing station. I came here with a friend to watch Plastic Cactus. Show was great. Sound was great, views were great. It was the longest day of the year, hot, and the sunset made the sky pink and orange. It was just beautiful. Would definitely go back.

Is there a secure place to park a motorcycle? What are you allowed to bring in?

The parking available is a dirt lot outside the fenced off event. There are traffic controllers working usually who monitor activity but I wouldn't necessarily consider it secure by any means. You are allowed to bring in your personal items, though expect to have them checked upon entry. No weapons allowed, and I do not think any outside food or drink is permitted purely because they were concerned when I had to leave early that I might be going to my car to drink in secret or something. Hope this helps!
