| - What a COOL place to see a rock show! I saw Cursive here last night, and I felt like I was back home! We bought tickets at the door, and right after that, the GM came up and introduced himself and shook both of our hands. (Maybe it was because I was wearing a Nebraska shirt and he thought I was with the band--but seriously, how often does that happen at a venue like this?!)
The bar inside is A-plus. They have so many options, everything from hard liquor to wine to 100 kinds of beer bottles, as well as a small (but impressive) draft selection. The floor was "open" that night, so 21+ could bring alcohol out to the stage area, but 21- could not go back to the bar area. (Judging from the crowd's cheering, I don't think that's always the case, and sometimes if you're drinking you're confined to the bar.)
They also have a patio bar and grill set up outside the theatre, for pre- or post-show hanging out. The grill is actually really good, and Gregg, the chef, has a super sweet mustache. Bonus points because he makes his own hot sauces; I highly recommend the Symphony of Horrors.
The acoustics are not the best ever, but it's not like you're coming here to listen to the Ring Cycle. It's a rock show!! And it's a good one.
