The food was great....the venue is AWFUL. Let me preface this by saying I love concerts. I love going to intimate shows but the House of Blues makes me crazy as a concert goer. I cringe when I see one of my favorite bands play there. Sometimes I wont even go because I hate this place so much
1) Sound: Awful. We were at Grace Potter last night. Stood on the left side of stage. The crowd noise was so loud it literally made her sound like background music. Switched to the right side and much better.
2) View: If you are short, you better pay for a seat. Fortunately I am not and I still couldnt see most of the time. Awful sight lines for a concert. The layout is completely terrible. So much wasted space in the middle. The place needs to bulldozed and rebuilt...or move it elsewhere where you can SEE the show
3) Prices: $5 for a Diet Coke!??????????????? Are you kidding me? What. A. Joke.
Go to Beachland Ballroom. Sound is great and you can actually see the show.
