There was a time when I judged Chop Shop. If you went to Chop Shop when it first opened you might have noticed that it didn't have the best sound quality. Friends, that has changed. They fixed whatever was wrong.
This might be my favorite venue in Charlotte. That is a strange thing to say considering the awkward paintings of half naked women and sometimes the ridiculously long line to get inside (it always seems to take forever to pay and show ID there)
However, the sound is excellent. There are 2 stages. It is small. It is intimate. It isn't trying to be more than what it is. The drinks are good. There is a small outdoor area.
This is how I like to see shows.
Oh- and Wolf Blitzer and Anderson Cooper gave a shout out to Chop Shop on CNN. We are making it big time, kids.
