Ive been to several shows at the Altar bar and it seems most of the bands coming to town that I want to see end up coming to Altar Bar lately. The club is on the average size for venues. It can provide an intimate setting on the floor or up close to the bands or if stand up in the Balcony you are still able to see and have a good time.
The one issue I have about this place is how they take up so much room with separating the shows for the under 21 side and 21 and over side. These benches are huge and take up a lot of the space. If only they could find another way of having all ages shows. The over 21 shows there is so much more room available. The bathrooms are clean but they also have an attendent and I always feel that awkardness of having to tip them everytime I use the restroom. The drink prices are moderate and I have never seen any specials offered. I will returnto Altar Bar when a band I am interested in seeing is there and that has been happening a lot lately.
Altar bar is in a great Location in the Strip District and Parking has always been easy and free due to street parking that is only metered until 6pm. The Mcdonalds next door and the other bars and places to eat close by in the strip makes for a nice pre or post meal and drinks before or after a show.
