Okay so here's the deal. As someone who has been to tons of shows, ran shows, played shows in many different venues, and has a background in audio engineering: this venue in terms of sound is one of the worst places ever. Half the speakers are damaged, the FOH engineer makes bands sound horrible, and the overall acoustics for this venue are some of the worst I have heard across the United States. As an actual venue, it's a neat little place.
Depending on the security guard, they can be nice or terrible. The head of security is a total douchebag to men most of the time.
Playing shows here is even worse than seeing them.
If the owners of The Nile would just invest a little money in some acoustic treatment, and just fix up a few things here and there, it would be an amazing venue to see bands.
I like the layout of the venue and the look. But I have yet to hear a band sound good here. Even national touring bands I've seen at other venues sound terrible here.
So The Nile should keep the vibe, and fix the sound. I personally would pay a little more for tickets if it meant a better sounding show. I try and avoid shows here as much as possible.
