| - Awesome new venue from the management of The Roux that has taken over what was once the Volume Lounge. What a great addition to the Plaza Midwood area.
I've always thought this location had promise even though I never had a great time at Volume. Now that they have people running it who understand the current music scene I see great promise for this place. The fact that they understand what good beer is makes this place rock! Hop Drop and Roll, Lagunita's IPA, and Sierra Nevada just to name a few.
As soon as you walk through the entrance you see the stage to the right and a nice sized dance floor ahead of you. With a long bar going down the left side of the main area, there is plenty of room to service any drinker's needs. The main room has an awesome sound system, good lights, and plenty of seating throughout. I think they even extended the stage a little bit from what I remember, which was well needed.
The second room is what makes this place stand out. You can still hear the music fine, but there are all kinds of other distractions. A pool table, foosball table, skeeball, basketball, all kinds of fun to be had. I just hope they get a quarter machine some day so people don't have to bother the bar. The night I went people were selling all kinds of hippie clothing, art, and jewelry and such in this room, so it was packed pretty tight. Honestly, the whole venue was packed.
This place rocks, straight up. I can't wait to see what bands they bring, but as long as the music is decent, I'll be there.
