Cute space but bad business…read more So my MOHs for my wedding booked this space for my bridal shower. I'll start with the pros: great overall space and the decor fit the color scheme of burgundy and gold. Now with the cons: The theme was eclectic and the designer did not deliver. Nothing about the decor was eclectic, I'm not sure she knew what that was. Check the pictures. The designer/manger SCAMMED us. We paid for an unlimited mimosa bar and sweet table and received none of it. For the mimosa bar there was only 2 bottles of champagne. What is unlimited about 2 bottles. If you brunch you know 2 bottles are gone in 6 minutes tops! Also no sweets whatsoever. My bride tribe had to find a grocery store and buy champagne and sweets. She did not give us our money back or explain her scamming ways. Finally as the event ended she was not there to lock up! Who leaves there business for their guest to lock it up. The caterer for the shower explained that this was unfortunately common behavior for the owner. So much potential with so little passion & leadership.

To make right, the owner reached out to my friend and offered her the space, free of charge, for an event of her choosing. Today, my friend used the deal to host a pop up & sip for her luxury beverage business. The venue was dirty. The tables were not cleaned after the last event, and had to be wiped down prior to the event today. The floor was sticky. The refrigerator and freezer were both dirty. The venue is in a great location and has so much potential. I wish it was better managed and taken care of. It was very kind of the owner to reach out and offer the space for free to make up for the first event, but it just seems like the venue can't get it right.

I was just amazed with the attention to detail. Serving dishes, glass wear, full kitchen, sound system, two large screen televisions, and even games for the kiddos were all provided. The owner has thought of everything you might need, and she is always very quick to respond with answers to any questions you may have. On top of all of that, the price is very reasonable, and the whole place was spotless. Very highly recommend!

Bogart's is a classic music venue where you can actually see bands in relatively close quarters…read more There are some VIP and seated areas available, but the venue is overwhelmingly a general admission space. While this can be harder for the older venue-goers like myself, I found it a bit refreshing to be able to jump into the throng, fight for a spot, and lose myself a little enjoying the bands up close. It was nice to be free of the seated mega-venues for a change. Bogart's offers a couple bar spaces with all the offerings you would expect including bagged snacks. I was not amazed by the specialty drinks on my last foray, so I might stick with the typical well cocktails on my next visit. Security was pretty aggressive at the entrance, so you might want to leave the purses and bags at home. They were even flagging things like pens, which seemed like a bit much. Parking in the Short Vine area can be a little tricky. There is mostly street parking and a couple lots, but they can be a bit on the pricey side even for just a few hours.

This is review is of Madison Live. I have not been inside Madison Theater proper, but was in the…read moreattached Live section for the Terror show at the end of this past May. First of all, the staff at Madison Live is very helpful and friendly. This show was crowded and they had plenty of bartenders. Lots of draft options, as well as bottles, and the prices weren't horrible. There's no slant to the floor, so if you're at a packed show, you may want to get up front before the headliner, as it can be difficult to see from the back unless you're a taller individual. The sound quality is good. Terror had no barricade, which is awesome for a 2026 hardcore show. Also, I don't know who all assists in getting together the opening bands for a show like this, but they were good. I expected some lame openers and was pleasantly surprised when this wasn't the case (check out Pure Heel from NY, for sure, and also Retribution and Rules of Engagement). Security was also very cool and conducted themselves the way the best bouncers do: you're unaware they are even there until they are needed. There's an upstairs area as well, a roof spot where they also have bands play sometimes. Go up there for a more spacious, less crowded bathroom than the one downstairs. You can also have a smoke outside, between bands, if you like. I hope there's another good hardcore show playing at Madison Live the next time I'm in town, 'cause I'd love to visit this place again!

I've been here for dance lessons, various events, but this past weekend I came here to see a friend's bellydance show (I love that this space hosts such a broad variety of events). Don't come expecting some fancy-pants venue. Leapin' Lizard is definitely rough around the edges, but is filled with character. I came to the show with my friend's husband and we stopped back at the bar to grab a drink before the show. My friend ordered a whiskey sour. The bartender told us that she was waiting for the sour mix to be brought up but that she would walk the drink over to us when it arrived (in a very busy event), how cool is that!? The bar staff was SUPER friendly throughout the event and it definitely made an impression. I can't wait for the next chance I have to come back!

We came here to see Bob the Dragqueen. While this pavilion has multiple possible setups, we were…read morein a pretty small theater. Several rows of folding chairs, which weren't too uncomfortable, with a balcony/mezzanine section with a couple rows of regular theater seats and then bench seats. The stage is quite high, so sitting close like we did (second row center) wouldn't work for all things, but for comedy, it was perfect. The way Bob set himself up on stage, we didn't have to crane our necks. We took a Lyft, but parking is plentiful, affordable, and right by the elevators into the venue. The staff were all super nice, from the parking attendants (who told us how to get into the venue), the ticket folk, the security folks. This pavilion has a specific bag rule--a 14x14 clear bag can be used or a 5x8 smaller solid bag. No one was really measuring, but they did a basic check and there was a metal detector. We had VIP tickets, so we had a different entry than others, so I can't speak to how organized regular entry is. Some others have said it was disorganized and messy. We purchased VIP lounge passes for 35 each. It was nice to have a place to sit and grab some drinks and they had snacks and pizza as part of the package (drinks had to be paid for separately). The woman behind the bar was even nice enough to hold our posters for us during the show, as we had no place to put them, so they wouldn't get ruined. Very close to downtown, very accessible, great staff. Besides the dystopian name (as mentioned by Kyle S. last month), it's a solid venue.
