This place is one of the most poorly operated venues Ive ever seen. Buying tickets at the door? Be prepared to pay $10 or more above the "at the door" price listed on their website. False advertising? You mean profit opportunity! The last show I went to they closed off the smoking area to open another ticketing line, causing the smokers to light up inside. So much for non-smoking. Im not sure what fire code is for that building, but judging by how crowded it was, Im sure they exceeded it. As a combat veteran, having people constantly pushing on me from all sides (even at the edges and back of the room) tends to make me crazy. Because of that I left just before the headliner took the stage. I had to fight just to get out the doors, as the bouncers were standing in front of them on the outside. Then I had to fight through the crowd trying to get in. There was still a line of around 100 people, with tickets, fighting to get in when the headliner took the stage.

The band was awesome, but the staff are horrible. I wont be going back. Security guys padding us down and the ticket seller coming in were both horrible to interact with. During the show, security spotted someone smoking. The person was not being violent. Instead of asking the person to leave, the security guy immediately grabbed the girl by her arm and dragged her out of the venue. I tried to use the ATM, it gave me an error code. Today I had the charge on my account but never received the cash. 2 bartenders for the entire venue so if you wanted to pay for an overpriced drink, you had to wait in line for an entire set. Ive been to this venue a few times and its getting worse.

Worst concert venue ever. Way over priced drinks. Horrible bartenders that dont deserve tips. Sounds sucks. Security is on a Power Trip. Kicks you out for no reason after the show. Act like they are tough and took 3 of them to put one guy in a sleeper hold to carry out. They think thier badges are real and not rent a cops. Definitely would not go back for another show. Everyone I know of that has been there has not been happy with them. Would not recommend. I would give zero stars if I could.

Showed up for the show last night, besides playing shitty house music, I deal with a bitchy bartender, I ordered a cranberry vodka, and I got cranberry juice and I tired ordering a water for my companion and the lady just took my cash and walked off, and this is already after a lousy wait, seriously Ill just drink in my car next time and get a free ticket, If I would have paid ten bucks I would have choked somebody

Poorly ran venue that demonstrates a lack of management experience. Any popular show the average wait time is at least an hour. The venue itself is a concrete room with nothing aesthetic to offer. The bar staff is great once you are actually able to get inside and its usually easy to get drinks because everyone is still outside. Sure miss the Knitting Factory.

This DJ is horrible. Doors opened at 7 and the DJ has been playing 15 second songs changing them and non stop talking over the music clips. Its 930 and no music. Very disappointed. This is the worst DJ I have ever heard. Were not very disappointed, were extremely disappointed. We would love to get our money back if we could.

Went here for a trapt concert the other night.... Drinks are a little pricy, which is to be expected at a concert venue.... The sound and lighting was amazing!

Sorta hard top find if you dont know the area, parking kinda a pain. Hosts some good shows, But if you are not right up front the view is not great.

Went their for a Mike Stud concert. Drinks are expensive but location is great, and sound is incredible. Way better than the knitting factory.

Joseph Hoffman

Great venue with decent drink prices. Really enjoyed seeing some great bands here. The floors are always ridiculously sticky, though.

Jesse Wilson

Decent smallish venue. Not too pricey for drinks. They dont allow in-and-outs. They have a sectioned off area out front for smoking.

the food wasnt that good although the hotel was very clean only whites amenities although its not politically correct to say that

Spacious and the place has good vibes, but security needs to pay attention more during the heavier shows.
