What can I say about the HOB. It's alright. It's across from a parking garage, which is convenient, if you can't find street parking. It's got a lot of cool art work scattered about. Dark lighting that sets the mood. Drinks are crazy expensive. I usually pregame or make bae buy my drinks. I don't like that they have ladies in the bathroom handing you paper towels when you are done washing your hands (if you wash your hands) I always tip, but it gets expensive because I am always peeing. If you don't tip they get sassy with you.
When it comes to bands playing, the sound usually sounds good. Light show isn't gonna put you in a seizure.
When they over sell a show it sucks to move around. I just saw Against Me there for the hundred time and it had the perfect crowd. Not too over crowded. Usually when I see Flogging Molly here you can barley move, and it ruins the show.
If you're reading this and going to the house of blue, one word of advice PREGAME! Booze is expensive as hell.
