I love this venue and give it 5 stars. It's a great venue, with great sound, and wonderful visuals. Also a great bar!
But I'm going to gripe, too. What's with pulling out the seats for shows that don't warrant it? If I wanted to go to a seated show, I'd go next door.

This is a really great addition to...

Tr3 was awesome! , especially when they performed riders of the storm and kashmir. I hope to see more shows here...
