Great venue with terrific sound. The mix of genres that Aura brings in since the pandemic has been awful (in my opinion), which is the only reason I give 4 stars instead of 5. Not sure if they got a new concert promoter, but indie, punk and reggae are hardly (if ever) embraced anymore. It's too bad, because I used to really enjoy the shows there.

Security made fun of me right to my face. I had two ids which were both only expired by a day. The guy made some quip he thought was real funny then swore at me a few times. I literally didn’t do anything I wasn’t even drunk. First and last time I ever come here.

My first time going was on Sept 17, 2021 for Pop Evil. I was quite impressed with the staff and service. Quick, easy check in even with the vaccination check and be forewarned that you will have to go through a metal detector check. The hall itself was awesome. Nice to watch a band in a personal setting and I'm looking forward to future shows at this venue. I can't wrap it up without mentioning how clean the bathroom was. Highly recommend Aura for your future concerts.

Nice venue but... we went to see an America (1970s folk rock) and got there 30 minutes before the show. The line to get in was around the corner and halfway down the block. It took 40 minutes to get in and the show was starting. People were still coming in 30 minutes after that and disrupting the people around them. No sense of urgency at the metal detectors. Security was stricter than an airport. I guess somebody got stabbed with a nail file... although maybe not at an oldies concert.

There is a sports bar attached. You can eat before the show. Also, if you are in the sports bar you get first admission. No standing in line
Yes. The venue is accessible. The main entrance has stairs, the sports bar is flat, but has a lip and a tight turn, but I've seen wheelchairs come through there many times. However, if that doesn't work the VIP entrance is fully accessible and leads to the elevator, and from there you can access everything. If you need to come in that way, you may want to call ahead.
Parking,nearby?
Ok
Good

Covid is very fun
Including monkeypox
I had monkeypox at birch point
Plus it was gross
Taking care of yourself
Went to a show in December, you could come and go as you pleased.
I don't see why not... I would call them to be sure
Just show up as a bum
Doors open hour before show..bat attsched is open earlier I think..call venue
They give out bracelets for those 21 and older but most functions are 18+ in age. Hope that helps.
Nope!! Get the early for best seats!!
I think you should be fine. Unless you are very young and need to prove you are over 18. I've never shown my id. I have entered with phone tickets and printed tickets.
No
As Cera Catron said, Sportsbar yes. Shows are age specific. I haven't seen any that allowed minor with adult.
No..21 and over. Bars everywhere..
Pretty sure they do, but we got tix online. Easy enough to scan the barcode on your phone.
Yes, their venue terms: "No coolers, alcohol or outside food or beverages. A full bar is available for 21+. All patrons must show acceptable ID to alcohol enforcement staff. No cameras or backpacks allowed. No weapons, including guns and pocket knives."
You can buy there, but I woud recommend pre pre buying.
I think that depends on the show. They set up folding chairs in the front for certain shows. I wouldn't worry about it.
It's nice and renovated inside. W saw a rock band there (Magpie Salute).,The sound was really good. The only thing I didn't like was that it was too bright inside for a rock show. White walls and stage lights don't give the right atmosphere for a rock show. Other than that, it was a cool place to see a show.
