I don't want to hate on this place because it is a pretty cool spot and I had a hell of a time here but as a venue for bands it's kind of lacking.

Upstairs:

The stage is super tiny. The (abnormally long) room is divided in half by a unfortunately placed pillar. The acoustics are garbage. The sound system sucks.

The coolest thing about this place is behind where they have the stage there is what feels like a VIP lounge. Super cool spot to sit and have a drink at intermission.

Theres not much to be said since I've only been there once. It would be nice if they had a bit more seating in that huge empty space near the bar for those people who just want to chill out and enjoy the music. After all watching how some of the patrons dance is pretty awesome and hilarious all at once.

The music was really good when I went! (We seen Whiskey Collective)

I wouldn't rule out going to this place for another show, and I have already recommended it to my friends. Only now that I am writing a review did I really notice all the flaws while trying to be completely honest with all the readers. But to be completely honest I'd have to emphasize that you won't notice these flaws in the moment, you'll be too busy having a blast with your pals!
