| - Okay kids. I have had so many overwhelmingly positive experiences with The Fillmore and its staff, I just can't stand it. I simply MUST write a review.
A word: **Yes, the alcohol prices are astronomical. One word: pregame. VBGB is there for a reason. So get your craft beer and suck it up. The Fillmore has too much other good stuff to offer for that to be a detractor.**
Staff: stellar. I mean, really. These guys (and ladies) are top notch and are just as kind and helpful as you could dream. I recently spent the better part of 3 days there, and I was treated as one of the family.
The bathrooms are clean, and I LOVE the black...facilities. Don't know why, but I do. The smoking patio (although I don't smoke) is the Uptown Amphitheatre stage. So while you smoke, you can stand on the same stage that REALLY famous people have rocked out on. Gosh, that's just cool.
I love the VIP area, which gets you just high enough to see over the people's heads who are standing in the main floor area, and there are both male and female facilities in the VIP area. And a VIP only bar. Please and thank you. Totally worth the price so you don't have to wade through the crowd.
I've been to quite a few events besides concerts here, and every time I'm impressed by how versatile the space is. It can have a central focus (stage), or lots of smaller areas (i.e. Vintage Charlotte).They also book a lot of the bigger shows coming to town, so it's where I end up! All in all, any excuse I have, I'm heading over here.
Huzzah!
