With all the 1 and 2 star reviews I was getting a bit disappointed that we had flown from Colorado to see a show here, but I was proven wrong.
First off, complaining about the fans at a show on a review for a venue is backasswards, these are your counterparts and friends that like the same tunes as you. You might as well complain about how lame you are while you're at it.
Second, I've never heard of coat checking at a show, so if you're planning packing for a trip to the Tundra when you're going to see your favorite nu-metal band I suggest packing lighter. What you you all expect when there is 500+ people trying to get their coats back???
How about a real review....so here you go
The space is quite decent and open, so come prepared to dance. If you don't shake your booty, then the wallflower section is abundant as well. I would say that having the soundboard were it is puts it in the way, but it might help break up foot traffic. You'll have to inquire about that with the designer.
If you plan on drinking then you're in luck the bars are large and I didn't wait in line for more than a few minutes for a drink. They were expensive, but it's a venue what do you expect.
Men's bathroom had some crazy rasta guy screaming about getting pu**y if you smell good. I know this is bad advice, but I would avoid washing and bring some hand sanitizer and you'll be happy you didn't have to deal with this dingle berry.
I knocked it down to 4 stars because of a few things...
1. It's far out of the way. Coming from out of town and not having a car you have two options take a super expensive cab ride home or walk, get tired, then take a super expensive cab ride home. No bus route after 1am, sorry come again.
2. The show we went to see is loud and filled with organ stimulating bass. The last time I saw this same fella, the sound was amazing. This venue doesn't pump it out as well and it gets distorted with deep bass notes. I'm sure it sounds fine at your regular events.
3. Suck it up, don't bring a coat, and see some live music.
