This is my favorite larger (700 capacity) Charlotte venue... the sound can be iffy, but that can often be attributed to the sound guys who come with the bands. The setting is cool, a large space with an intimate vibe that offers a variety of standing/seating options and multiple levels - you can check out the act from various spots in the room until you find your favorite. Drinks are reasonable, though nothing special (and I have often ended up with a withered lime slice perched on the edge of my plastic cup). I can't really assess the beer selection since I always go with liquor drinks at the Visulite, but it seems like they have several drafts and lots of bottles that include microbrews. One thing I tend to take for granted but which I must commend - there are so many stalls in the women's bathroom that I've never had to wait in a line no matter how crowded the venue... a rarity at live shows! Back to the music - there are always a good variety of artists/bands playing the Visulite during a given month, tending toward AAA, jam-bands and Americana acts - but they're always willing to mix it up a bit with other genres as long as the music is solid. Also they're supportive of good local acts (offering them opening spots, showcases and shows of their own from time to time).
