I almost never write reviews, but I want to speak up for this place because I've had nothing but good experiences so far. I don't know if I've just been lucky or if there are just too many complainers on Yelp, but my experience so far:
Every member of staff has been polite and professional.
Every event has been well organized.
Technical aspects of the layout and sound are top notch.
Great bands are now coming right here to Uptown so I don't have to deal with the crowds at Verizon or drive to Atlanta.
There are no bad seats at a place like this.
Even the ticket prices are pretty great so far- I'm accustomed to paying 2-3x more to see my favorite bands, and they have deals where you can buy an all-summer general admission ticket! Where else can you do that? Seriously?! I've never seen an offer like that anywhere.
All that and the brew & view event (typically Wednesdays) is a lot of fun too. I guess if I was forced to complain about something, it might be drink prices, but I'm content paying them if it keeps them in business. My favorite hangouts are all dive bars, so I'd like to see PBR tall boys or something affordable too; but regardless I will remain grateful to have a quality venue in a convenient location like this.
Thank you, Fillmore for investing in Charlotte Please keep up the good work!
