The chop shop is one of my favorite venues in Charlotte. It's not on the scale of the filmore, .not as small as the visulite, but probably more comparable to the size of Amo's. Though what seperates it is that it is newly renovated. There are cool broken down Motorcyles ( cough hence chop shop) outside, 2 stages inside, and one bar with about 4 bartenders, and a smoking section outside. The sound system is very well and is perfect for this midsize concert venue. The only thing that would help this place is another bar or 1 or 2 more bartenders.
