One star only because I cant put zero. My friend was putting on a charity event to benefit childrens cancer research and the venue shut us down. Supposedly because not enough people showed up, but we had nearly one hundred, plus around that many more stuck in traffic because of a parade. They shut down the bar, prompting people to leave, then complained that people werent interested in the event and if we didnt have a certain amount in the next 15 minutes theyd shut us down. We almost made their ridiculous goal, but people were having trouble getting out of traffic and didnt get there in time, so they pulled the plug on our sound people. They kicked us out and while we were waiting for rides and for people who were striking the venue, more and more people showed and were disappointed that they couldnt get in, as we had been shut down 4 hours early. We got creative and managed to salvage some of the even at a local park, redirecting people as we went along, but later found out the security guard had been lying to the owners(who werent there at the time of the event) about how many people were there and saying it was a total bust because he didnt want to be there all night. We had plenty of security of our own and didnt need him, but he got us shut down. Everyone I was with and most of our guests that came to the impromptu gathering we salvaged decided were never going there again. Thanks for nothing, Studio Seven. Guess you want kids to die of cancer, but we dont.

By far the worst venue that I have ever tried to see a concert in. We went to Sick Puppies/Lacuna Coil with Amanda Hardy, Cilver, and Eyes Set to Kill.. All of the bands put on a great show and have the highest level of skill, its sad to see a venue mess up their music. Sound mix was horrible. We had seen the show in Spokane the day before, so we had a good comparison for sound quality. One of the acts the lead singers voice was completely washed out flat for the first two songs. Ticket holding attendees were still waiting in line to get in the door 20 minutes after the show had begun. We walked into the bathroom to find an Out of Order.. luckily there were two other stalls, neither had door handles or latches, toilet was Duct taped in the back in one stall. Stairs to the bar were steep and sloping. Bar was crowded mess, the line was long to wait for the 2 bartenders, drinks were short poured. We left early before the headliners played.

My favorite place. Ive been to several shows, Wednesday 13, The Creepshow, The Phenomenauts, Left Alone, etc. over the past four years, each one being a 5 hour road trip for me and I havent been disappointed. It has a large stage area with good sound, room to mosh or to avoid the mosh, side seating, decent sausage dogs, a separate bar upstairs, plenty of parking and the event staff has always been polite. People complaining about the "atmosphere" crack me up. Its a punk/metal/rock venue. Dont expect lace and chandeliers, expect no frills flat black paint and good tunes. The only con, itd be nice if there was more room for the upstairs bar patrons to be able to see the stage.

What a horrible place! The doors were to open at 7pm but didnt open until 8pm. The security was extremely alarming. They were more concerned with searching for marijuana than weapons! I saw so many people enter without a pat down, including myself. This attracts a younger crowd. Marijuana is legal in this state. Yet instead of saying, you cannot enter with it, THEY TOOK IT AND KEPT IT. When several people protested, they were very nasty and rude and stated they didnt have to come in if they didnt like it. Food consisted of a microwave with Hot Pockets and frozen pizza that they charged a ridiculous amount. WILL NEVER GO TO AGAIN. UNSAFE!! I AM CONTACTING THE OWNERS!

I wouldnt have even given this place a 2 start rating if it werent for the sound. Other than the music and sound, everything else was a terrible experience. Coming from Canada down to Seattle to see a specific band, I was so excited for this experience. Instead, I was pushed into the stairs by a security guard, pushing me to get into the bar line. After being in line, the bartenders were very aggressive with taking my order. They were incredibly rude and made me feel incredibly uncomfortable. I could go on about the rest of the night.... Needless to say, making the trip down here was one of the most disappointing experiences.

The place leaves much to be desired... Not welcoming, poor security, if you come in the middle of the concert, dont bother to pay, just make a face and go through, no one will even ask you about payment. Most of the time the shows are all ages, so imagine how it is with drink. You can go upstairs though and get one, but the variety of drinks is really limited. Most beers are national, served in plastic cups, although cheap if that suits you... If you wanna go to the restroom, dont bother to find the one that has a lock (if you want to dump); just go outside to do your business I guess

2nd floor overlooks the huge stage. Main bar is upstairs with a smaller second bar next to the dance floor. Lots of room on stage for Chewbacca to twerk with an astronaut and then form a conga dance line with a couple of other celestial beings. The bathrooms smell soooo bad that the stench overpowers you as you wait in the bar line. Big beams obstruct the dance floor and views of the stage.

The place is kind of a dive but I love a dive !! I have seen a lot of concerts in a lot of venues in town and many shows here. It is one of my favorite venues. Great size for an intimate show and the sound has always been good and I cant say that about any other venue. I am short but I never have too many issues with not being able to see. Always happy when I get to see a show here.

The sound for the headline band was fine. The sound for the opening acts was horrible! There was so much bass you couldnt hear anything else. The staff was friendly. The rest rooms were horrible. The upstairs is a joke. Unless you get a spot on the rail, you cant see the stage. There are TVs showing the stage, but I can )watch TV at home. And, you can only drink upstairs.

I saw Amaranthe and Smash into Pieces at this place. This was my first time seeing a show here and I have to say it was really nice. The venue is very intimate and its something I can appreciate. Its not very often you can get close enough to a good act and all of the members can make eye contact with you. That just makes for a better show. I will definitely be back.

Some of the areas of the venue could use a little TLC, but over all its a pretty good spot to see some shows. I recently visited to see Otep, and I was here a few years ago to see Psychostick. The stage is high enough that you can see from the back of the room if youre not into smooshing with the crowd. The bar is upstairs with a balcony view of the stage.
