I traveled all the way from Philly to see my favorite band, of Montreal, perform at the Altar Bar and I was totally blown away by this venue. The cathedral ceilings and stained-glass windows really gave the entire concert a spiritual dimension. Acoustically I was very impressed with the sound quality. I felt like every instrument sounded so clear and distinct (probably due in large part to the building architecture. I didn't get a chance to get anything from the bar but I really liked the way it was set up. It seemed like a cool place to hang out or go for driniks. I wish I didn't have to travel the entire way across Pennsylvania to go to this bar again!!
