| - It's difficult for me to pin down exactly how I feel about Now That's Class -- on one hand, I love that cheap and delicious vegan and vegetarian food is the norm, on the other hand, I hate how every show I've ever been to has started and ended absurdly late (there have been nights where I've seen shows in Columbus and made it home earlier than I've made it home from Now That's Class) and how the sound tends to be muddy at best (likely a combination of mid-range sound equipment and bad acoustics.) Additionally, since the stage shares a room with a quarter pipe, you sometimes have to keep an eye out for errant skateboarders (the first time I ever saw a show at Now That's Class, I saw someone get kicked in the head by a kid that had lost control of their skateboard.) That said, Now That's Class books a wide variety of obscure bands (both local and traveling) and shows are always cheap, so if you're in the mood to catch a show and have something to eat without spending a lot of money, Now That's Class isn't a bad place to check out.
As for me, I prefer to go to Now That's Class for dinner on a Sunday evening instead of heading up there in the middle of the week for a show. They offer a number of specials on Sundays, including vegan pressed sandwiches, pizza, and a "small plate" (a mini, cheaply priced entree that varies each week -- the last time I was there the small plate was cornmeal crusted BBQ tofu.) While I wouldn't count Now That's Class among my favorite places to see a show, I would definitely list it as one of my favorite places to get root beer and a vegan cheesesteak with friends before returning to the working week.
