| - The Grog Shop, sadly and despite its history, is a horrible venue for almost anything. I really wish it could get more stars, but I almost gave it one, so yeah.
They're able to book some pretty great music, which is the sole basis for two stars. Oh yeah, and it's ridiculously affordable.
It's dingy, drinks are weak and overpriced, the employees are mostly burned-out hippies (in a bad way; I've nicknamed one of them "Father Time"). It's always packed, probably way over fire code (ever heard of "sold out?"), and there's really no ventilation to speak of. I don't mind sweating profusely while hearing great music, but only if I'm on the fields of Manchester, Tenn.
Oh yeah, and the patrons are horrible, often throwing beer and what not onto stage (which is also not cool because it ruins instruments).
