Only went here for a concert, saw The Submarines with Headlights opening for them. Very good, more dance-floor than seating :-)
Bar service was excellent with the bartenders recommending a few different types of drinks when I was feeling adventurous. Price wasn't bad, tickets were $12, drink prices were normal, maybe a few dollars more than usual, small price to pay for a comfy venue.
No idea if there's a coat-check, it was the spring when I went and I had no need for a jacket.
