Really impressed with this quaint venue. The hall is beautifully crafted and excellent for intimate shows - it reminded me more of a wedding reception hall. It feels cozy but not crowded. The bar is super accessible, reasonably priced, and they even offer soda in the can which is a life saver if you're not drinking. With general admission tickets, I wasn't sure whether to expect all standing room or seating, but thankfully it was a mix of both. Seats were filled up when we got there, but the staff was just setting up an additional couple rows and we were able to get seats after all. The view of the small stage is great from pretty much any angle. Bar and bathrooms are close by so don't have to miss much. Only complaint is the folding chairs weren't very comfortable after about 5 minutes of sitting, but I'm grateful they were provided regardless. Overall awesome experience - I'll be looking for upcoming events...

The cherry on top was walking guests down to Cafe Du Nord for a rad rainbow lit dance floor that went until 1am. Thank you all for an...
Read moreExtremely clean! Had to walk upstairs to enter and there was an elevator option for people who are handicap. There was small bar before you entered the hall. Had hanging light and a small upstiars that was blocked off for the particular event I was attending. The stage was low. The sound was quiet. At one point the performer asked him to turn it up [idk if he wanted his monitor up or the general volume up]. They were selling ear plugs at the entrance but when the music started I could hear every word the people around me were saying. It was too quiet for a rap concert... before and after the show the performers hung out in the crowd with...
