Neptune Lounge — Restaurant in Tarpon Springs

THE WORST PLACE EVER!!!! BANDS DO NOT BOOK HERE ITS A WASTE OF TIME. When you drive over 800 miles you would expect a club owner to welcome you in and let you set up asap. NOT THE CASE HERE! I pulled up to the ran down little bicycle shop and lounge. It was Saturday afternoon at 4:45 pm and the place is a ghost town no customers staff or anything. How can you have business if you're not open. After waiting til 7:30pm in the hot parking lot across the street that wasn't his parking cause he doesn't have any. The owner comes out and tells us if there isn't any customers waiting outside his door then he's not opening at all on a Saturday night. After putting up flyers in the venue and making post on all platforms it was still a bust with this guy. We booked months ahead of time and called him that morning to confirm that everything was good and ready to go. So as soon as we get there he makes us wait 3 hours and tells us it's a no go. Seems like this happens alot here so be aware bands and artist!!! Terrible experience...

It's a shame that the good bands and musicians that tour through there have to put up with a manager that is such a jerk. The guy is desperate for money and literally yells at bands for slow nights. He'll also give the bands a load in time to bring in gear, and then make the bands wait locked out in an alley hours past said load in time while he entertains his friends inside. Especially if you're a band, do yourself a favor and avoid this crummy mis-managed excuse...

BANDS — don’t play this venue. Apparently the owner only opens shop for gigs so there is no built-in crowd/regulars. Was told load-in was 6 but he didn’t open doors until 7 (a big deal because we drove across the state to be here). Only one band played before the owner shut down the show. Very unprofessional and a waste of everyone’s time. Looked like very little was done to promote this show.

TL:DR —...
