This place has a certain energy because of its size: smaller than the Metro, bigger than the Empty…read moreBottle. I've seen so many shows here at a reasonable price: Billy Bragg, Sparklehorse, Lemonheads. And so many local bands I couldn't name them all. Beers are a bit expensive, but cover charge is reasonable for what you get. If you're going to see a local band, go to their website and they'll most certainly have discount tix available. Sound is good almost anywhere in the House. Go upstairs and try to get on the couch that's facing the stage for a more private viewing experience (with small speakers too!). Or head to the newly remodeled downstairs for pool, low lighting, a private booth, extra bathrooms, and a chill vibe!

Down to earth, no frills attached, and located in a so-so neighborhood, this could be a place that has you raising your eyebrows doubtfully. Cast those aside, and sit yourself down for some of the best music this side of the river. Crowd is dressed up but chill, and everyone is clearly enjoying themselves. We were the only brown people in the joint, but didn't feel the least bit uncomfortable. If anything, Lee's is welcoming - everyone seems to know everyone else, and with all the hugs and hellos, it really seems like a party. Oh, and there's no cover or drink minimum!

I got the pepperoni basil slice and my friend got the potato pesto slice. Both were less than mediocre. They weren't fresh; cheese was congealed. The potato itself wasn't cooked enough, the crust was partly oily and soggy. I guess for the cheap price of cheap ingredients it's ok, but I do not recommend. Also, live music isn't supposed to start until 9pm, but the band loudly and consistently starts practicing at 630-7pm and it's so damn loud you can't have a conversation. The band tonight was also just horrible. Not toned and had a lot of very loud squeaky sounds. We didn't stay long after the noise started, but can't imagine it got too much better.

The venue is huge with both indoor and outdoor spaces so it's a year-round affair. The patio is the perfect place to spend a warm summer afternoon, and the side bar or nightclub areas are spacious, cool areas to take in a set indoors. Staff are always attentive and hustling about to ensure everyone is having a great time. The food onsite is also super good - the pulled pork, sweet potatoes and crispy brussels sprouts were favorites on the last visit.

Security moves pretty quick compared to other concert venue, and they have plenty of bartenders which keeps moving along. It styles itself in a large warehouse approach, which can hold larger crowds. If you're close to the stage, the sound is phenomenal, when you're little further back, there is some minor reverberations. It definitely doesn't have a cozy, or historic style feel like some of the other venues or clubs in the city. However, they're not trying to, they bring in big-time names, and it's always a fun time.

The cafe is cheap, the music sounds great, and it has a warm atmosphere. What's best is that they focus on social change, and act on it through the products they sell, the coffee they brew, and the bands they bring in. You must check this place out!!
