One of the best small music venues in the US. Make friends with someone who has VIP passes for special access to the VIP bar and viewing area on the second floor. Hot tub in the backstage artist area.

Oh and the second view on the balcony was pretty awesome too. I love that they have that and the back opened area for smoking!

Alison Burdick

Get there early for the best spot; the opening acts are nearly always decent and great for finding new music !

Up and coming bands, 90's bands touring again, amazing cover/tribute bands. Decent drink prices for a "venue."

Love the venue. But the staff are mostly dicks. They barged in on my friend while they where using a toilet .

Andrew Dunlap Jr.

Great venue, security was really tight on moshing and crowd surfing. Also, drinks are pretty pricey .

Tony Burrill

probably one of the nicest concert halls i have ever been to.

Pretty good venue for its size and all

Best place in the 757 for a concert , decent beer prices too.

Awesome venue. Reminds me of The Bayou in Georgetown back in the day.

Kishi Bashi

This is a great place to play and the crowds are always good

Marcus Jackson

I'd love a place to sit for these weak warm-ups!! Only complaint though..I love a good beat!

Ameerah

No seats.. the hip-hop concerts are more like appearances, so don't expect them to be on time.

Sarah S

Great view from the second floor balcony !

parking on the street is free after 6pm, or just use MacArthurs Garage

Head to Havana afterward for an awesome late night menu and the best mojitos around.
