| - I enjoy the Clubhouse far more than the Marquee, but that is not really saying a lot. I have seen dozens of shows there, and I will probably continue seeing shows there, as bands I enjoy keep booking there.
The sound here can be really spotty... sometimes it's good, sometimes it's atrocious. I remember numerous times where the bass drum sticks out like a sore thumb and becomes incredibly annoying. The vocals are also lacking at times. I think some bands bring in their own sound guys to mix for them, which would explain the disparity.
The major issue I have besides that is parking, (I tried to craft an analogy here, but I am a little too tired to think of a good one), the parking can be horrible, I typically give it a go around and then give up and park in the business complex on the West side of Dorsey. That's actually not too bad in the end, as it is really easy to get out of there.
I can definitely say the 21 and older shows are vastly superior, as you can take your drink up to the stage when the bands are playing. Hanging in the bar area during sets is loud, distracting, and particularly annoying if a band is playing a softer song.
Also, I really make an effort to not go to the bathrooms there as they are pretty gross.
