| - This place may come across as shady, but I was surprised over how well their setup works - especially for an all ages event. There's a bar in the back, there's a bar in the main room so one can enjoy a tasty beverage while listening to some delish tunes... all while the sweat mongers and mouth-breathers stomp the yard up front.
I was here during the Children of Bodom concert and it really must have turned some stones over, because there was a massive contribution of classically weird hard rockers missing out on sleep that Monday night. As usual it was a pure sausage fest, a club filled to the rim with unwashed, uncouth, and drunk rockers as it should be but the representation of the ladies was remarkably impressive. Not in numbers, but in quality.. and with that being said, do NOT get your hopes up mate. They are more guarded than the Pope. There is an area for smoking outside, and this place is amazing for people watching.
A short note on the concert in question - they brought it, but it was a Monday for both COB and the Hate Crew. I have seen better Monday gigs, but for what it was - it was good. The mood was awesome and COB was impressive. I will see them again, at this venue or any other.
Drinks are served by some cute girls that are tired being hit on by every hairy freak that walks into the club, but they are quick and nice. Prices are impressive $6 well drinks all night, $4 domestic beer & $3 PBR. I claim that it is very much worth it. Nicely done Club Red.
There is a negative that I think is massive. It's not that the line to the mens room is way longer than the ladies ditto. It is the Parking. Holy shite it was hard to find a spot, and there is nothing close by where you could mooch off of instead either. The plaza was completely filled, and I had no idea where to go. I did figure it out though. Eventually.
My recommendation is that you come here. The venue is a bit anachronistic, and some of the patrons did attend the old school. Maybe that's why a metal savant like myself felt like I could relate.
