| - As far as live music venues go in Charlotte, this is my favorite and I've been to pretty much all of them. It's not a big venue, but they get some decent acts for my music taste (Jam/Funk/Electronica).
Cover charges are usually around $10-15, extremely cheap (Obviously also depends on the artist....). They also have both beer and liquor. It's nice to have the option, some nights I just want to let it all out. The beer selection is good as they have about 10-12 taps with local NC brews and the likes of Magic Hat, Sweetwater, New Belgium, etc. They also have a good bottle selection for the stuff that's a little more rare. Drinks are normal, reasonable prices.
As far as the music/layout is concerned, there really isn't a bad spot in the place. It's multi-tiered, so lots of areas with a good view. The bar/entrance is at the top, then it drops down to an open area with the sound board and cocktail tables (it's nice to have the option to sit and enjoy the music), and then drops down again to a pit area that's standing room only in front of the stage. The stage is the height of the 2nd level with the cocktail tables, so that's usually where I'm at, but people are always getting down in the pit. All in all, the layout of the place is why I like it so much. The sound is great too. You can't have a great music venue without great acoustics! I always look forward to a show here.
