Lee's is one of the better venues that this city has to offer.
There's a good-sized pit in front of the stage for the more lively fans, as well as seating along the outside of the pit and along the outer walls. Even at sold out shows, the congestion isn't that bad along the bar, which is long and usually well-staffed. Wait times for drinks aren't as bad as I've endured at other venues. They also seem to be booking a wide variety of acts here lately. The sound is some of the best I've heard in the city--much better than The Phoenix, etc. And the newly re-painted exterior looks phenomenal.
Glad to still be going to shows here, after all these years. Long live Lee's.
