We ended up parking by some apartments down the road (across the street from the venue next to a gas station). The bar was located outside. It was a makeshift bar. The prices were good and the bartenders were nice. We asked one of the bartenders about parking and they indicated that you're allowed to park across the street in the Lawndale Medical Clinic (strip club parking lot) they did advise not to park at the pawn shop. They don't sell food. I believe they recently moved from the building next door. That old venue still has "The End" on it so it was a bit confusing. We walked past the new location not knowing we missed the entrance. My partner suggested we walk open the door where we heard a band playing and thankfully we found it (our friends also had this issue). This location doesn't have any bathrooms located inside but they had a couple of port-a-potties outside next to the makeshift bar. I hope that's not permanent. This place had a definite dive vibe which I enjoyed.

The Rustic qualifies as OMG! The ambiance is like an upscale Texas sports bar, so a bit rustic while nice. The breakfast sampler was a-a-a-amazing! Yes, it really is 5 small plates. Wow! The challah French toast and blackened potatoes were particularly memorable. Each dish was strongly flavored and perfectly prepared. I also got a French press coffee that underwhelmed (it was made with boiling water so it was a bit burnt flavored), but have no fear, it was replaced with a cold brew coffee that was really good. Service was TOP NOTCH with Lily being very pleasant, attentive, personable, and professional. I was impressed with her approach to make sure things met expectations. As this restaurant is planned to close at the end of the year, I recommend going there now! Enjoy. And if you see Lily, please let her know she makes a difference by making every guest feel welcome.

Vibes are chill, beer selection is vast, they have some nice frozen drinks and cocktails as well. There's almost always some sort of event going on so it's a nice place to just stop by and check out if you have some time to chill. I've liked that there are random events and they can be hit or miss. Sometimes there's interesting musical guests, sometimes there are various vendors, sometimes there's a movie night. Regardless, I know I have a pretty good time and will be treated kindly by all the staff.

Dive bars are becoming a preferred vibe for me for late night drinks, and Black Magic, a completely…read moreunexpected discovery, did not disappoint. It was not the exterior that drew us to this far out Eado spot as the outside is almost completely unmarked. It's on the far end of a neighborhood plaza, and is easily missed aside from a small neon sign with the bar name. We all love Yelp, but Google maps reviews actually led us here after searching for a dive in the area (maybe a couple more reviews and this would have popped up!) The inside is dark with red light accents just barely illuminating a long bar, pool tables, and a fairly large stage for presumably, live music or a DJ, enough to keep the mood somewhat mysterious and interestingly, a bit satanic. Maybe it was also the large barely-dressed women painted in the walls or the red pentagram in the corner of the room. The bartender was very attentive and even offered one of their more "top shelf" liquors for our mixed drinks, possibly seeing that we were dressed fairly nicely having just come from a dinner. A beer, a couple of tall Jim Beam whiskey diets and two pickle shots because, why not, brought us to $39. Overall, a great find. I'm always on the hunt for a new dive and this did not disappoint.

They do not have food, we actually brought pizza in Side from Domino's next-door. We got there early so parking was easy. It's a small place, but there was plenty of seating and two pool tables. People were dancing and having a wonderful time. The band was a lot of fun as well. I would definitely go back. It was $10 cash cover charge on Friday night.

This is a nice no-fuss, old fashioned live music venue that specializes in Blues and because it's a…read moresmall venue, you really get in up close and personal with the performers. There is a cover charge of $10 for most of the performances but if you check out their website and the calendar, some of the shows are free also. The crowd is mixed but as would be expected with the genre of music, it's older - I would guess the average age of the crowd on the night I was there was 50-60 but they were getting down and having a good time so that's the important part! Parking kind of sucks here so I would suggest coming in early and if you find something in the parking lot or by the mechanic shop, back your car in because people will likely park behind you and it'll be pretty tight getting out later. There is also street parking around the neighborhoods but check the signs to make sure you don't need a permit.

It's small enough that you can actually feel close to the artist, which makes the experience much more personal than a huge arena.

The venue has a good concert atmosphere without feeling overwhelming, and I've always enjoyed the energy of the crowd. It's easy to see why so many artists stop here when they want a more intimate show. Overall, it's a solid venue for what I go for.

Previous reviews mentioned this venue serves as a bar, dance club, comedy club, and concert setting all into one. And they are correct in that regards. There is also an upstairs area with an outside patio if you want to catch some fresh air or take a smoke break. As for the inside stage area, it has some nice sound quality although it can get hot due to the amount of people it can pack inside. Ballyhoo! drew quite the crowd which I'm not surprised with. There's a bar in the main lobby area and in each room where it's full bar and a decent amount of beers on tap. Drinks are pricy as it's during shows so dont' expect dive-bar prices when you're planning to get your drink on here. I'll probably be here for future shows should I find any artists that suit my music/comedy tastes.
