Went to see my first live performance this weekend and was blown away! What a cool feeling venue to…read morelisten to great music and enjoy some tasty beverages! The building decor and design in itself is a treat--in an artsy and historical style--but the sound system in that hall was on fire! The line outside wasn't terrible, and the staff and security were all very respectful and laid back. No drama. Fair warning, they let me in with my mini-backpack but tossed any snacks I had in it. No biggie! So, if you find yourself touring around Centennial Park and want to catch a show, it's not too hard. The main floor allows for the party to really happen, but only for those who can endure standing for hours at a time as it's standing only. There's a floor level for VIPs, which I bet was totally worth the money. We sat up in the balcony, so we could sit and see it all. Whew! The seats are very snug! I'm only 5'3", and it was a squeeze for my legs. My 6'1" hubby said he was ok, but his legs were open the entire show to fit. On that note, be prepared for LOTS of stairs! Drinks were tasty and made well. My pizza wasn't exceptional in any way, but it was edible for bar food. And really, the bartenders were all friendly and patient. Just a cool night altogether. Great experience for a small-venue show on a date, with girlfriends, or a big group of fans alike! We saw James Blake, and the only issue I had was the bright flashing lights. I had to squint by the end of the show. But it didn't seem to bother the other thousand in the hall.

They have bars set up everywhere, the down stairs has merch and food, and the sound is amazing. It is a small place so be prepared... it is more than just loud! My youngest needed ear plugs. The place is sooo cool though! Really an architectural marvel. Reminds me of a lower version of the Fox. But the concert was unreal here! I would go back and Will to see other concerts here for sure! Just a warning again though. It is very loud! I mean off the charts! I would bring ear plugs when I go again just to keep my hearing intact.

IDs are checked at the door for those planning to drink inside. The venue is standing room only, but as long as you're tall enough, there really isn't a bad spot. There are several bars throughout, as well as a small eatery to the right of the stage with lite bites and tables, plus screens so you can still catch the performance. I've been to two shows here so far and definitely look forward to many more!

I was really excited to check out this place while I was in Atlanta, but it was a bit of a letdown…read more First off, the neighborhood you have to drive through is frightening. As someone who travels often and is never afraid of rough areas, I was dreading having to stop at any of the red lights. Once inside the venue, both bartenders I interacted with seemed extremely unenthusiastic to serve drinks or help me- a total turnoff. Their attitude was subpar, and after two negative interactions, I decided to just stop drinking here. On a positive note, the sound quality, bathrooms, and stage area were great. I wouldn't be in a rush to return though.

Angela Blaire, the bartender, truly made the experience exceptional. She was friendly, knowledgeable, and walked me through the menu, convincing me to give the food a try. I'm glad she did, because it was far better than I expected. Angela checked in on me throughout, making sure I had everything I needed, both food and drinks. Outstanding service and a great experience all around. I'll definitely be telling my friends about this spot.

This is my ideal: You can see the band from pretty much anywhere in the room. Decent bar, pretty good drink prices. Friendly, efficient staff. Usually a cool crowd when I've been. Street parking is available but can fill up. There is a good sized (pay) parking lot adjacent to the building but it can fill up, especially near showtime. Note that there are other venues, bars & restaurants nearby so everyone is trying to park in this area. I have found parking every time that I've been but sometimes I have to drive & hunt.

I was worried about the music being too loud, but it was just right. Security took longer than expected to let us in. Doors were supposed to open at 7, didn't actually open u til 7:30.

I am sure, if communication was better, then the entertainer would try to stay on some sort of schedule. Needless to say, after spending money for a VIP ticket, we were only given about 20 minutes with the entertainer and instead of the hour that we paid for.

Interesting neighberhood with plenty of pre- and/or post- dining or drinking options. Concessions/drinks high as they are at most such venues. Clean restrooms, friendly staff. I'd definitely see another show here. I think this type of venue is best for a certain type of show--for more active shows where one might want to dance or otherwise engage a venue like The Eastern is more fitting, but for a show where you're more of a spectator absorbing the music being played this one works very well.
