Love this venue so much. As a 30 something it gives me underground pizza pub with a secret punk rock club in the back vibes from the late 90s early 2000s. It’s small, intimate and I’d you wanna be close enough to feel the sweat of your favorite musicians…this is your place. It has two bars located far enough apart to keep the lines short. For the concert I went to there was security at the bathrooms (likely not to keep anyone safe but to recheck our stamps to make sure we were legit ticket holders) But still good on them for being strategically placed. Entry was smooth and honestly much less painless then other venues around town. Sound was amazing and overall it was an amazing experience. My only complaint. Comes down to parking. While the venue themselves don’t offer parking, something does need to be done to create a safe experience for concert goers. I don’t know what that could look like, but something. As a solo female concert goer … walking back to my car at night alone is never a good time. And this venue was one of the worst I’ve been to when it comes to that. It might actually be the worst. Aside from that…highly recommend.

I went to see Cordae & Justine Sky. It was a good experience. The line was crazy, but that was to be expected. It didn't take long to get in. I was able to stay out of the crowd, and still be comfortable. The bartenders were amazing! The show was high energy. I had a great time.

Great place to see a band. It's got 2 levels and there is a bar on each level. Drinks were reasonably priced.

A nice intimate live music venue. Social distancing was a challenge but we were able to get close to the stage that was just 4 feet off the ground! 😎👍

what is the situation for the VIP event for Fletcher on Thursday March 17th? What are the times and do we need to leave the venue between the VIP event and the show?

Lucinda Aylward | Mar 29, 2022
Danny Hebert | Mar 29, 2022

Honestly I think you can stay in the venue but im not sure of the hours

Do you have to over 21 to see a concert there? I purchased tickets for my 17 year old son to see 21 pilots on October 18th not realizing it is a small venue

ROBIN DAVITT | Oct 30, 2021
Elle T. | Oct 30, 2021

This varies by show- it'll say on the tickets. I've been there for 18+, "all ages", and 21+ nights. If its a show for a band that appeals to a younger audience, there's a better chance of it being all ages.

How far in advance do you usually need to get tickets?

Joshua Marian | May 28, 2022
C3_KiLE | May 28, 2022

I'd recommend at least 2 hours before doors, as otherwise you may be stuck in line before even getting to the ticket booth. But all depends on the show to get tickets. Better to buy online in advance
