I can not fathom a worse musical experience. I paid good money for my husband and I to see Snarky Puppy (ahead of time, not will call, tickets in hand) and the tickets read "DOORS OPEN AT 7." We didnt make it THROUGH the doors until after 9 PM. Have you ever stood in line, starving and waiting to pee and seven months pregnant while the owners to a crap venue happily hide inside the a/c with the doors locked and humans sweating outside in a line that wraps mutliple city blocks? I have now and never will again. By the time they let us in, we realized that they had oversold and, breaking every safety rule, we stood like sardines, sweating and well over max capacity to see a band that I couldnt enjoy, due to the fact that I had bodies on every side of me and there wasnt enough room to move, let alone breathe. The air conditioning must have been turned off the minute they crammed us in. Just when I think I need a break, I am afraid that Ill catch a venereal disease in the bathrooms and the food took ONE HOUR TO MAKE!!! "We only have one cook" they said and I was so well versed in standing in lines at this point (besides the music still hadnt stared, big surprise) that I thought WHY NOT!? Glad that myself and my unborn child survived this experience and i will never go again.

I rate 5/5 stars. This place was AWESOME!! It was nice, comfortable, and just Really Cool!! I love the atmosphere, the fact that they welcome different ages and everything. Also, many have said that the restrooms are filthy; but in fact, they are not that bad at all. First of all, you dont go to a lounge to go to the bathroom. Second of all, if anyone thinks that these restrooms are filthy, then they obviously have not been to campgrounds, gas stations, amusement parks, and hundreds of other places. There are A LOT WORSE out there. I got to see "We Are the In Crowd" and got to talk to them!! They were really nice and I cant wait to see them again. That was one of the best days of my life...

My favorite venue in Dallas for shows. The stage is at the perfect height to both take in the performing artist & interact with a more crowd participating band. The floor is "tailor made" for a great moshing experience. Nothing pretentious about the concert venue set- up, allowing for more of the artist stage set-up to shine through. Great acoustics & perfect capacity allotment.

Great venue, fairly easy to get in front row and be literally inches away from your favorite band. They did a great job with Silverstein as the main act, lighting and sound was on cue to the t. Only issue was the heat and it got really hot in the overly packed venue. But there is an AC vent in there where you can cool off.

This was a great fun place to go! What surprised me most was the price of the food and drinks, given this place is a lot more lax than clubs i usually go to. under 21 accepted, event staff are typically nice. sound is good,wide stage makes it easy to get closer even if you arrived right on time..

Great small venue. The bar is just your generic beer and liquor, no craft anything which is strange for Deep Ellum. In terms of performance, the sound is great, standing room only, but you can stand at the back of the room and still see the faces of everyone on stage clearly.

Yeah its small and hot venue but that does not matter if you are there for a good concert and if its packed duh itll take a bit to get a drink at the bar but one of the only few venues that you can walk out and come back in without them having a cow

Went to see Snarky Puppy on 9/11/15. Doors opened 90 minutes late. Nothing from management as to why so late. Audio was a mess, opening band was just bad and finally when Snarky took the stage all you could hear was the sub woofers. Wont go back.

Iv been here twice both to see touring acts. Was here a few days ago ticket said the doors would open at 5:30 didnt open until almost 6 waited an hour in the cold. Staff was okay i guess? Opening bands were great, good show. Overall good venue

Its funny when you have a business that doesnt actually do the work of counting ticket sales to prevent the place of going over maximum capacity and sending people out. I mean youre just stealing money at this point from dedicated fans.

Conor McCarthy

Worst venue in Dallas. Claustrophobic, extremely hot. Cant see the stage from anywhere unless youre seven feet tall. Whole place looks dirty. Bathrooms are a science experiment. Will never go back if I can avoid it.

Troy Lancaster

I have say this club rocks nice place to see bands live and meet new people here. I got to see Red live and I meet them after the show. Keep this club for live music of all kinds. I have been going since they open.

Alex Durham

Small venue. Not the cleanest place but always a good time. Has old vintage charm. Convenient cheap parking across the street. Good place to see some smaller groups perform.

Chad Farrar

No AC, rude staff(yelled at me for trying to buy water), oversells tickets and packs people in like cattle, i felt like an ostrich in here. Worst venue in Dallas hands down.

Will Crowley

Hosted a great event free. Limited beer options when we were there due to pending shipment. Watch out for uneven flooring - multiple stumbles and one full-on spill!

Darius Moss

Lots of different kinds of events here. They host a lot of events for kids also. So, if youre 16-17 year old is looking to get out, check event dates for The Door.

Saw so many shows here growing up and had the honor to meet so many amazing band members here as well. Small and very loud venue, just the way I like it.

Quang Nguyen

Higg Higgson

It was 97 degrees outside and literally 120 degrees inside. I asked security and they said it was always that hot with a lot of people inside.

Moe Tamimi

WORST VENUE. The a/c doesnt even work in there! It gets way too hot. Never going there again.

Lisa Barron

Cozy venue for small concerts and all manner of celebrations. Parking is a little tricky.

ZeroGhost2

Philip Mitten
