Great venue to see a show. We were here for Ultimate Fakebook in July 2022. Sound was great. You can take advantage of upstairs seating and still see and hear the bands well. Great bartenders and affordable drinks!

This is one of my favorite concert spots! I can always get up close to the stage if I want but there are also tables positioned perfectly for a great view as well. They bring in top notch bands and the sound is excellent!

What a great venue spot for the city to get some incredible artists to play at. Bar and bartenders have great customer service and drink menu is pretty reasonable for drinks no matter your taste. Lots of space for a packed house so check out who's coming next, then come grab a drink and enjoy yourself

Are you enforcing Covid safety regulations?

Colleen Kelly | Jan 6, 2022
recordBar | Jan 6, 2022

Our staff has all been fully vaccinated and many boosted. We have masks available at the door for customers who request them. We have also installed UV filtration into our HVAC unit to clean the air and kill 98.9% of virus and bacteria that comes through the system. We have also installed touchless sinks, air dryers and door kicks. We have hand sanitizing stations throughout the building as well. As the city ordinance no longer requires masking we are leaving the choice to require proof of vaccination or a recent negative Covid test up to the touring artists. By and large they are requiring this. At this point all shows promoted by AEG, Mammoth or Up To Eleven are definitely requiring these restrictions.

Do you sell gift certificates?

Colleen Kelly | Jan 6, 2022
recordBar | Jan 6, 2022

Yep! We sell them in person at the venue anytime we are open. Unfortunately, no online option currently.

Do you have to have vaccination card to get into the record bar now?

Dr Fisto | Dec 7, 2021
Rev Milenko | Dec 7, 2021

It depends on the artist. I went to a show on Tuesday 11/09/21 and the band required masks, but nobody checked my vax card

What time does the Box Office open before a show? Like if doors open at 7 does the box office open at 6?

Haider | Sep 3, 2020
recordBar | Sep 3, 2020

Box office opens the same time as doors tonight. If you want to get a ticket earlier you can go to the Midland Theater box office and purchase a ticket between 10am-4pm, I believe. They are promoting this show for us.
