Friday night at 8 o'clock and it is time to rock at the Music Box Supper Club (MBSC) with the Martin Barre Band. My wife and I had a nice dinner at the Rusty Anchor on the first floor, see review on the Rusty Anchor, and we came upstairs to see the show. The MBSC is what you might call an intimate music hall, no matter where you sit you are close to the stage.
The main portion of the hall had table seating, understanding that you can dine at your table before the show. Our table mates were finishing there meal as we sat down. They seemed happy with with thier dinner and said they would have the pulled pork sandwiches again. What I really liked have wait service for drinks at a concert. What a pleasure. It standing inline to get a beer and missing part of the act! Also nice to be able to run a tab while watching the show. Drink prices seemed to be on par with other entertainment venues.
I was also surprised with the acoustic of the hall. While the band was loud the sound was clear. The MBSC appears to have done their job in design and sound deadening, also need to give the sound mixer credit. The views to the stage were good, some parts along the walls might have some partially obstructed views due to I-beam pillar support.
I would be glad to go back to the MBSC for another concert or try out thier Sunday Brunch with music entertainment. A nice venue with great views of the river and comfortable seating for a show.
