I like the Canopy. I saw Andrew Bird there a few years ago and it was cool. Ticket prices are reasonable, the sloped floor allows everybody to see the stage fairly well, and the "small hall" in the front is nice for chatting with friends.
A few friends & I went there for New Year's Eve and it was emptier than I expected, which was actually kind of nice. Drinks were cheap and it was nice to be able to chill in the small room once we all got a little too tipsy to be dancing. I'd like the see another live performance here.
