| - I'm pretty particular about 'where' i see shows. A crappy venue can kill a good artist and put up a good fight against a great one.
Fortunately, The Rhythm Room needn't worry about quashing the entertainment value of one of their nationally touring acts. And the RR really does get some of the best independent acts on tour. For artists worthy of smallish venues, this place should be as legendary as the Whiskey in Hollywood, but unfortunately, its located on, like the kiddie ride portion of Los Angeles, central Phoenix.
For a venue, they have really smokin deals on alcohol, like PBR for $2.50. Considering that you couldn't get that deal ANYWHERE playing live music, i consider it a humongous bargain.
They have a smoking patio that you can still hear the music during those 5 mins, and the venue is easy to get in and out of.
It DOES tend to get crowded once the main act is on, especially near the bar, but I've never waited more than a couple of minutes for a drink and i can always find a good view of the stage.
When acts like Bob Schneider come around, the place is ROWDY. Indie acts like VHS or Beta and Midlake are near priceless to see in such a small joint.
and sometimes shows that pique too much interest will be moved to their big cousin Marquee.
