I've read all the other reviews and I'm scratching my head over them . I enjoyed this venue . They're are two stages/performance areas . The one I was in was larger than I expected . They had a full bar with fair prices . They had tables and a few bench seats separated from the SRO area . The staff was cool -zero drama . The bar staff was more than cool . The security was on point and totally chill . I've seen other reviews that say otherwise but I didn't see anything negative at all .
There is a separation of bar area and stage area and a few steps down . Good area for a pit . They do have a metal barricade between audience and stage . Sound was good - heard every aspect of all the bands playing without one part drowning the rest out. The area I was in had a capacity of just under 700 . I didn't see food served in the venue but outside was a BBQ vendor . Lots of parking available and didn't seem sketchy like I've read in other reviews.
The venue is on the left side of the mall strip . I'd definitely be back . You can see the bands playing easily from anywhere in the club .
