Went to Downtown Vintage Guitars last night to see the Tingerlz play. This place is pretty cool and is interesting for a venue to see a show. It is a guitar shop/bar/venue. How cool is that? The inside is funky and has different seating from bar stools to cushy chairs. It isn't too big, it isn't too small. The decor is nice to look at and it wasn't smokey. I don't believe they allow smoking in the venue.
The show last night was not overly crowded so there was plenty of room to sit and watch the band. There was no wait at the bar and the selection was okay. Don't expect anything extravagant. I did get a Sierra Nevada for only $3! Oh ya, they don't charge a cover at the door. No cover + cheap drinks = Good time!
Only complaint would have to be the parking situation and the surrounding areas are a bit shady. But I suppose you're going to run into that being that it is downtown. I actually had to park behind people and other people parked behind me, it creates a bit of a blocking someone else in sort of thing, but there's really no other choice, as the surrounding areas are apartments and I am sure the residents there would have no qualms about having your car towed ASAP. However - I assumed since the place was so small and intimate there would really be no problem to get whoever happened to be blocking you in to move their car once you wanted to leave. Don't know if it would be an issue if there were more people there.
Overall, it's a great place to see a show! Have not been here for any guitar related issues, since I don't play so I can't comment on that part of their business.
