The Pub Station — Attraction in Billings

Went and watched Evidence and Atmosphere last night. Great concert as these entertainers are awesome. The venue is really cool and nicely redone. This is the only good things I have to say.

Your security staff is the most untrained unprofessional people I have ever witnessed. I have been to 100s of venues and you folks get the prize for being the absolute worse.

I witnessed so much alcohol being served with no guidelines or concern for how drunk these individuals were. Your security was more focused on catching people smoking a little weed than they were about the OVERLY intoxicated patrons that your bar tenders continued to serve. You will get your ass sued off soon because one of these patrons are gonna leave your event so trashed there going to kill someone driving.

I watched one of your security people grab a woman that was about 5' 8" maybe 130 lbs and she wasn't drinking anything but water "so she was not intoxicated" she was simply taking a hit off a joint. The amount of physical force that he used on her to throw her out was absolutely uncalled for and the verbal abuse that he portrayed was amazing. If she has bruises I hope she sues your ass.

I don't know if I will return to your venue ever again. If you wanna get bullied and yelled at and watch people get so drunk and the venue wont do anything about the drunks but want to physically and verbally abuse people for smoking a little weed, then this is your...

As for a music venue, this was one of the worst I have ever been to. The sound quality is terrible. People tend to think of this place more as a bar with live music than a venue with a bar, so everyone is gabbing about their day rather than enjoying the music. The ballroom setup is nice in that they separate the main bar from the stage. Perhaps they could designate the stage area as a quiet, talk-free zone? The building could also benefit from some echo reducing infrastructure, too. What you can hear of the show over the crowd (which isn't much) is muffled even more by echo.

Because one bar isn't enough, they go and put a second one in the main stage area. Okay, that's fine, but get rid of the absurdly bright coolers! You can't even see the stage because you're blinded by cans of booze.

Garbage cans are sparse, so most people just toss their junk on the ground. By the end of the night, you're nearly ankle deep in cups, cans, and various sticky liquids. I'll hand it to them in that they start to clean up almost immediately after the show. But, it would help tremendously if they'd put out more accessible garbage bins.

I'm giving this place one star for the beer selection. It's probably the best in Billings. But, as for a music venue? Keep...

So I have been going to the pub station from when it first opened I am a glass blower and work 10 plus hours a day and enjoy downtown billings..... Except every time I go the security is some of the rudest untrained people I have ever seen they look at my clothes and I assume they pin me as homeless I have been verbally assaulted a number of times and will not be back I watched a number of people go into a punk show before me with studded wristbands and a few studs on the coats and vest with out incident when I go in security almost without skipping a beat literally scream and curse at me without me saying a word then tell me that the 5 or 6 soft rounded studs I have on are not allowed thus I have to go outside thus I am not allowed back in and my cash is no good at that point and can't wear my vest and am now forced to change my apearence even tho many have passed through without incident among other things...... The security run the venue like they are the third Reich and are above human respect and decententy towards others it's sad we no longer have other venues and this is what we're left with shame on all of them for the way they...
