The Holland Project — Local services in Reno

Brought my teenage daughter and her friend here for a music event because the flyer said all ages. This place needs to enforce rules if they are going to advertise for all ages. If the rules say no smoking inside they need to enforce it, people were smoking cigarettes and vaping, when I brought it to an employees attention they really didn't seem to care and said "where?" As if they couldn't see the plumes of smoke rising to the lights. A young girl that was standing in front of my daughter and her friend was talking loudly and said "oh all my friends are doing drugs in the parking lot" 😬 The crowd was mosh pitting and this dude almost hit me, when he was getting close I said "be careful please, there are young girls right here" then when my husband blocked him from knocking me over, the guy stared at us as if we didnt belong, which we greatly agreed with. Even the first singer was encouraging violence in the mosh pit, I understand it's the genre but this venue is too damn small to be mosh pitting like that. This place has a type that's for sure. I don't care if the flyer says all ages or not, dont bring your younger teens here because the attendees as well as the employees could care less about...

I have been attending this places events since I was 10, I am 15 now for context, and it has never failed me.

Although covid has blocked the ability to go preform in person they've adapted and overcame. This is an amazing spot for local musicians, bands, poets, artists, and actors. If you've ever felt like the misfit, or the one out of place, come here and I promise you'll...

Finally, a truly forgotten corner of goodness. Small (micro) venue, all ages. . No alcohol. . Highlighting local and small(ish) bands and artists. Stopped in to see our boy Honus(MAN MAN) and the new array of ruffians he hath assembled to ROCK THE EARDRUMS!!! And certainly not a disappointment!! It was like $10. . Sound was decent enough. . It felt like I was at a start up venue in the 90's again....
