The bar staff and food is great! The venue feel is awesome, however being hounded about vaping inside , when just holding my vape and getting ready to step outside, Im 30 and have common sense, i get it if you catch someone doing it, but I wasnt. Overall i like the vibes and would like to preform there some day.

We did not have any problem getting in for the show. We were told that you just can't go back into the concert venue if you leave. Just check that it is an all ages show.

Is Will Call open before doors at a show? Or is it inside

Dead Hardy | Mar 29, 2022
Demo Diakoumakos | Mar 29, 2022

Will call is inside. They have a restaurant and bar before the music venue.

I can’t stand for long periods of time due to a disability. Can you see and hear the music show from the restaurant? Do they make accommodations for people with disabilities?

Diane Warwick | Oct 25, 2021
Jason Wentz | Oct 25, 2021

As mentioned previously, you cannot watch the show from the bar/restaurant area. However, I witnessed them make accommodations for an individual in a wheelchair by letting them sit on an elevated seat attached to one of the columns near the side of the stage. It's front row but on the far side. You still have a great view but you'll be in front of the speaker stack.

I'm going to a show that starts at 8:00 and the doors open at 7:30. If I arrive at 6:30 will I wait in a line outside of the building until doors open or will there be some sort of line inside of the building?

Rasheed Hudson | Oct 26, 2019
Steve Pfeifenroth | Oct 26, 2019

No there are never lines but the bar/pub area is open to the public so you can hang there. Being that early there will be no one in line. Also you can get a wrist band as long as the music side is there and you can go in and out between pub and music

How does arriving before a concert work? If they're open and you're there early before the show, do you wait in a line outside of the place or is there some sort of line inside?

Rasheed Hudson | Oct 26, 2019
olivia scamihorn | Oct 26, 2019

We waited outside in a line. But you can go inside and get a drink or food, but you might lose your place in line.

Rush 2112 | Oct 26, 2018

According to bottom lounge's website, 5/15.

The website says the venue closes at 10 pm. Is this true? I'm going to see a show that starts at 9 pm. A one hour set with no opener? Really?

Justin Maresh | Oct 26, 2018
Danielle Fisher | Oct 26, 2018

I'm pretty sure that's the restaurant hours, I've seen a few shows there, usually past 1130 show still going. Love that place for shows its smaller.
