This is sad for me to be giving this place 2 stars but here we are. This is a place of memories as I recall coming to shows here in high school and the place being awesome.
However now, I'm simply annoyed at how outrageously cramped this place gets. I get it that it's a concert and should be packed but the venue should allow for some type of elbow room. This shouldn't be a place you pay money to feel like you're in a cattle car or a chicken coop.
Sidenote I experienced an very shitty bartender here. I had to have been standing at the bar top (at the counter) for about 10 minutes while the dude took orders to my left, right, like wtf man? So I finally say to the guy hey can I order a drink or what I've been standing here staring at you, waiting to take my order for quite a while. He has the audacity to tell me it's my job to tell HIM I'd like to order something. Like I'm standing at the bar staring at you for my health? Anybody who's BEEN to a bar before knows it's the other way around. Incredible moron, incredible!
So sadly, unless House of Blues expands their venue a little bit, or limits ticket sales to a reasonable number, AND rids themselves of self righteous d-bag bartenders I think I'm good on coming back for a while.
