It's got a fantastic happy hour ($1 PBR as of the time of this writing), free darts and a very chill atmosphere. They do allow smoking inside so that will be a deal breaker for some people. They have a patio in the back which is a great place to grab a beer when it's nice out. It's also right downtown and within walking distance of plenty of other bars and restaurants. I'd say check it out when you get chance.

Truly disappointed and hurt that I had a great seat to see Ali Saddiq today for a 7pm show and…read moredrove 1.5 hours to this location to not be able to see him perform. Drove around for about 10 minutes, like many others, to finally find parking directly across from the Auditorium for $20 that only took cash. I looked at the Auditorium to see it was a chaotic scene. At about 720 there was a long line still waiting to get in. The Line extended from the Auditorium down the stairs onto the sidewalk. This told me that the show would be delayed as well, as people were looking for parking like me while others were waiting to get in. Afterwards, I drove around a few more blocks for about 10-20 more minutes then at 745 I gave up and drove the 1.5 hours back home. I called the box office to voice my disappointment. If you're not familiar with the area you wouldn't know where else to seek parking but I tried by following the crowd as they continued to look for parking. I won't be coming back to this location. Sorry that I missed his performance I was really looking forward to it.

Back in March I was gifted a ticket to see Jill Scott down in Macon. I did some research in this…read morevenue so I knew it was aged. I prefer smaller venues for concerts. They just hit differently. We had front row seats in the balcony right. Section 202/Row A Seat 5 and 6. Now let me just say this. If you are handicap or have mobility challenges be prepared to walk. There are no elevators or escalators available in this venue. If you have a seat in the balcony you have to walk up a set of steps. Also there is an entrance just for handicap. I used the entrance but I really didn't see where it made much of a difference. Another thing is knowing where your seat is and which door to use. We use the set of steps to the left of the venue not knowing that our seats were to the right of the venue. With that being said we walked up all those steps got to the balcony, and then we realized that our seats were all the way on the opposite side. We had to walk around the top of the balcony all the way around to the other side. I was out of breath honestly but the ushers were nice enough to let me sit down here and there on my way to my seat. Also if you are a height challenged or have some extra fluff y seats are tight. We chose the balcony front row thinking that we would have more leg room. Negative. You will not have more leg room just because you have the front row. As the night went on I noticed that there were no people on the end seats so I got up and moved to the end where there was no restrictions with legroom. That also allowed me to see the stage very clearly on the right hand side. I saw every movement just Jill Scott made very clearly. I will say the acoustics in this place were pretty good. I saw other reviews where people didn't like the sound but the sound was on point on this particular night. It was also very easy to get out of this place even though there was a crowd. I definitely would not choose floor seats because I saw where those seats some of them were zip tied together especially on the front row. You have no room to move around. This place is old and tattered and smell old but it was a good show regardless.

I caught 3 of the 4 nights with my brother and they were a blast. Such a thrill to see a band I've been following for two decades in the place where it all started for them. The club itself is a gem-- easy entry process, clean restrooms, not a bad spot in the house, perfect size venue for an active but intimate show. Friendly staff who appreciate the fans and the music. To top it all off-- incredibly cheap drinks. I'm talking about $3-$5 beers (the latter for tallboys), $6 or less well drinks, and almost nothing for more than $10. Coming from Nashville where even the diviest of music venues are starting to charge 2-3x those prices during shows, it was a revelation. The club is steps away from great record stores, bars, and places to grab a bite. Highly, highly recommended.

Unfortunately, even though the band played loudly and spiritedly, after the first hour: with not even a semblance of Beatles music to fulfill our expectations, and the arrival of an accordion on the stage (at a Beatles show!?) - well -we were a little underwhelmed. Hoping the next few shows are better -and at least similar to the band that inspired the tribute as advertised.

Honestly, like a typical college watering hole, it looks like a good cleaning is in order. The atmosphere was electric on this autumn, football weekend Friday night.

They were both great and the skin on fried potatoes were cut in house - not frozen!

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.
