For starters I'm a bit biased, since I saw my favorite band here (theres no way it could have been bad) but I was pleasently surprised by the intamicy of the place. I got there late and i was still close to the stage. It's pretty small, so you feel like you're a part of the action no matter where you're standing. There's also a balcony that goes all the way around the place, which probably gives you a great view if you're not a mosh pit kind of person. Theres not a bad amount of seating around the bar area, which is elavated, so you still have a good view of the stage.
