| - Still Dark. Still Swank. Still Small.
MY RECENT EXPERIENCE:
Rhythm Room is a great place to catch live music. Don't let the location fool you. This venue brings in a wide mix of acts, including Rogue Wave, which I happily saw here last night. What a great show!
The parking lot was cramped, but we managed to find a spot (luckily). I don't recommend coming in the middle, between the opener and the headliner, unless you have good luck, which we did.
1. We found one of the last parking spots.
2. We easily got in, though the placed seemed packed to capacity.
3. We found a great place to stand, with a full view of the stage.
4. Two seats opened up for us, so we got to sit down for most of the show!
I was disappointed to see RR no longer carries Alaskan Amber - not even on tap, which they once did. They do now offer Kiltlifter and 8th St. Ale on tap, though, which is cool. There's also 2 Hefs to pick from, along with Guinness, of course.
But, let me be frank: The Guinness I ordered didn't taste like Guinness, not even the most flat tap Guinness I've had. My friend concurred that her Blue Moon didn't taste like the Hef she loves. Bummer. For $9.50 for two plastic cups, we decided one beer apiece was enough.
That's another thing... Plastic cups? Why not recycle? Geez.
RR is also a great place to learn about future shows - there and around town. Fliers are posted up all over the front entryway and there's a table near the door just covered in announcements. Plus, here you'll find your staple local rags - New Times, Get Out and Java.
RR definitely deserves 4 stars. They could still work to improve their acoustics and the stability of the stage. Poor Rogue Wave. They joked that they just experienced a small earthquake. "Did you feel that? The stage just moved!" (I got that on video!)

FIRST IMPRESSIONS:
Dark. Swank. Small.
This place is a treasure chest of fun. From beer on tap to mixed drinks, have your pick of the bar. Grab a table or saddle up to bar - just be sure you call dibs on your seat before the rush hits.
This place gets hoppin' during certain events. I've been here to see Chris Durante, Louisiana Red and Maritime -- all very unique acts. Each time I've gone, the place is happenin'. Don't worry about your hair, your jeans or your first impressions. Save that for Scottsdale. This is a place you go not to be seen but to hear true, genuine, blow-you-away music... all without paying a hefty price. Ticket prices range from $8 to $18. It's worth it.
So why not 5 stars? The acoustics. They could be so much better. No, it's not the noise and the volume that bothers me. It's the inability to hear the vocals when the band is jammin' out. So, for slower sets, I definitely recommend this place. However, you wouldn't want to see My Chemical Romance on stage at this venue. Of course, would you want to see those guys on stage at any venue? Ah, I digress...
