I wish this venue was closer to me, I'd be there for every hardcore show they put on. For this show there was no barricade; I don't know if that varies from one show to another, but I was happy to see the lack of a barrier when we walked in. The security was just how you want them to be at this kind of show: present and there if needed, but not getting in anyone's way or preventing people from dancing or stagediving. There are two bars in the main area of the Black Box, one at the back, one on the side. And then merch was sold upstairs, and there's another bar there. Snack machines, and candy is also sold at at least one of the bars. I paid $7 for a 12 oz. can of Miller Lite or $9 for Corona, I'm not sure what size that was, 11 or 12 oz. I guess, one of those weird tall, skinny cans. The sound quality here is excellent. They had some lights going on during the bands' sets, but nothing too showy or intrusive. Really, just all around top-quality in terms of sound, stage setup, production. All the employees I encountered were very friendly. This was a pretty big crowd; I don't know if it was sold out or not, but the place was packed by the time AN went on. Sometimes staff can be unpleasant or just generally serious, handling this many people in a theater size venue, but these folks all seemed happy to have us there. I love the Black Box at Williams Center and hope to be back soon.

The space apparently hosted everything from movies to musical acts to comedy and more. The "Black Box" room was an intimate, open rectangle next to a more formal theater space with tiered row seating. There were merch tables and two bars set up around the perimeter with general admission standing room in the center leading up to the stage. The sound quality was spectacular, and it was nice to be right in the middle of the action. I would definitely see another show there.

I'm pretty sure when you rent the hall, its just the hall and you have to provide everything else. I highly recommend this place it is so cute.

It is a comfortable place to be, with good music, rock and roll memorabilia, and a warm ambiance. Service was kind, attentive, prompt, and efficient. Entire space was spotlessly clean and well-kept. My other half and I each opted for the double smash burger and truffle fries. Fries were excellent: crispy, well-seasoned, not greasy, and flavorful. The burgers were juicy, flavorful, and bacon and onions were cooked perfectly. I wished I had a second one. Is it the best burger I've had? Honestly, no. But it's up there for sure. I enjoyed it enough for it to make me go back, which says a lot. Overall, a very nice experience. Will definitely return.

This place had plenty of empty seats so we were able to get seated quickly. They asked if we wanted the tables combined and we said sure, and they combined it into... an L shape...?? How strange haha there was definitely enough room to keep them straight. We were there to celebrate someone's birthday so we made the birthday girl sit in the crook of the L so she could swivel and talk to everyone lol. I ordered the B&G prime burger and I think the waitress was confused because she said it was a smash burger and would come with crispy onions... the patties were definitely not smashed and there were no onions at all. I think she was thinking of the double smash burger. The patties were also not seasoned properly, so it tasted bland to me and there wasn't that nice crust the seasoning would have formed (iykyk). We also got the cornbread as an app, which was good, especially with the honey butter and the jam it came with, but it was really small and not worth the $12 at all. They were also out of several items like the deviled eggs, NY strip, and grilled branzino. I don't know how common it is for restaurants to run out of menu items so early in the day (it was like 2pm) but just something to note. Although our server was nice and I'm glad we were able to get seated right away, I probably won't come back here. The food is just average and portions are too small for the price. Also just fyi, the large group gratuity they included on our bill was 20%. I feel like I usually see 18% at other places.

I am actually shocked this place was not fully booked because the food here was fantastic for a buffet styled brunch that came at a great price! They had a huge selection of food and I thought the penne alla vodka was one of the best I have had in a very long time. My dad went nuts over the clams because they actually had clams inside them and not just all breading. You did need to pay for your cocktails but I feel like that made the service here even better because at other brunch spots with unlimited mimosa bars they tend to try and dodge tables when all you are looking for is another drink- I personally rather pay for it then constantly trying to waive someone down. They also had two rooms, a bigger and smaller room which is great for people who want to have graduation, a sweet 16 or even a wedding or birthday here.

Really great job, Nick. Overall, a solid spot with good food, generous portions, and excellent service. This is my spot when I'm in town now.
