What a pathetic, horrible excuse for a concert venue. The place has no functioning air conditioning, you will be hot, sweaty, and miserable. They pack customers in like sardines and there are no seats. If you want a decent place to stand, you will need to get in line at least an hour before the doors open. Keep in mind that you will wait another hour before the first artist goes in stage. This is obviously constructed so that you will have to drink more. The beer selection is horrendous and limited to domestics, Heineken, and New Castle, which you will be paying 10 to 12 dollars for each. Now for the sound system, flat, garbled, unintelligible noise comes from within. You will likely not be able to understand the words coming from the musicians mouth, we could not. We left 5 songs in to the headliners set (one of my favorite artists) because we could not tolerate this deplorable place any longer. I will never waste my time or money on this establishment again, regardless of the artist performing. Pathetic, pathetic, pathetic.

This was my first time back at this venue since I was a teen (15 years ago) and I will not be going back. I went to see SOJA & Collie Budz. The sound was just ok, The lights on stage went out during Collie Budz for an entire song and again during SOJA, there was also no screen drop during SOJA so you could tell there were having a lot of lighting and electric issues. The venue was packed in which I expect at a show but this was a bit overboard. Theres three levels and a lot of stairs which were not accessible before the show even started. Im not sure if it was this or their other issue but It felt like their AC was never turned on. NO TOILET PAPER! Halfway through the show I went to use the ladies room and was informed there was no TP, not just in that bathroom but all of them. I was handed a rough hand towel and told not to flush, how much worse could this place get. I was debating before this show on seeing Galatic but after this I will never go back, no matter whos on stage

So packed, its criminal. Nothing like paying to get elbowed in the face for 3 hours. Opening next door to increase capacity is a crooked way to increase the max capacity on paper. Too bad everyone is in the music venue and next door is empty. So, a room that can hold maybe 600 people has closer to a thousand inside. Wonder what the fire Marshall would think of 3 deep upstairs. Downstairs was wall-to-wall stage-to-staircase. People started standing on the steps because there was literally nowhere else to stand. Then, the security guard told them they couldnt stand there and they said "where else is there a place to stand?" The crowd was standing against the stairs so that when people walked down, they had to stay on the last step because no one wanted to give up room. Fire hazard if I ever saw one.

My thoughts echo those whove pointed out how cramped, dank, hot and small this place is. I went to see Beach House. Place was absolutely packed. Whatever small crevice of clear air and comfortable space was invaded by cigarette smoke and unmentionable body odor. People there are rude and unfriendly (a recurring theme anywhere in So. Flo). The whole venue attracts an unwashed element that I was not expecting at the concert. I was feeling sick at the time so I could barely tolerate the heat and dankness of that place. The help staff were rude as possible. It ruined my concert-going experience. I felt as though I wasted my money.

Upstairs bathrooms are mostly decent. Can never find the downstairs bathrooms. Sound sucks unless your in the center "pit" area, but even there its not superb. Sound is generally loud, vocals can be lacking regardless of if your seeing Atmosphere, Gwar, or Cannibal Corpse. General security/staff are reasonable as long as you follow basic etiquette. The place isnt as gritty as certain "music venue" dive bars in the general area, but not as nice as the more upscale theaters. If you go here with this in mind, youll have a good time. 3/5 because this venue is an average venue.

I had horrible service at the bar. The bartender disappeared for over 15 minutes while I waited to close out my tab. They other bartender was rude in his explanation of why he couldnt cash me out and acted very condecending to my annoyance after waiting for 15 minutes. I asked to speak to a manager and they never showed up instead they sent over someone else asking me why I needed a manager. You should be aware of the level of incompetence your employess exhibit even at the managerial level.

Had the worst experience here. There was supposed to be a #LilWayne concert that was scheduled for 10pm Saturday 21st March 2015. that didnt happen. We waited from 7pm until 3am the next day with no #LilWayne insight, it was a waste of my time and money. Revolution Live advertised the concert to start at 10pm. False advertising right there!!!!!!! I drove all the way from Naples to Fort Lauderdale for nothing. Im highly disappointed and am hoping to get a refund for this.

Been many times. Most of the time I have really enjoyed shows. Place gets very crowded and maybe even oversold sometimes. One negative was a few years ago, saw The Cult and the sound system was so bad that I left- horrible! Otherwise I like the place, its cool inside and there are basically good views of the stage from every angle. Usually sound quality is good. Badfish rocks the place every year, dont miss them when they come to town!

Went to a sold out show and it was packed. And hot. So hot. There were fans all over but management would not turn them on, ridiculous. Not only that, they wont give you a free cup of water, and they charge $5 for a 16.9 oz water bottle. Seriously, not one but two people passed out from the heat during the show. This is the most money grubbing venue Ive ever been to, and I hope I never have to go back.

Absolutely terrible venue. Drinks are way overpriced believe I paid $9 for a Coors and $5 for a bottle of cheap water,they dont even offer cheap water cups, when its hot and crowded and you need water which they take complete advantage of. The sound is terrible in there too, garbled, distorted you cant understand what the band is singing it sounds almost like static. I would not go here again

We saw Simple Plan here. It was a great show. I thought the huge bar shelf when you first walk in was so cool! The stage room was entirely too hot for all of those people to be in there though. We had to move to the back by an open door just so we didnt pass out from the heat. Not our favorite venue, but not the worst either.

Horrible venue. Its just a bar with a stage. Went to Switchfoot and relient k and they needed to only have half the amount of people allowed in there. do not recommend. Surprised they played there. The sound wasnt very good either. Prolly cuz its to small of a venue for these big acts.

This place is dank. I go here several times a year from Lake Worth to see metal shows and it never disappoints. Drinks are a little over priced, but so is everywhere else downtown. Overall GO here to see live music. If youre a metal/punk band PLAY here. I WILL be there to mosh.
