I came here randomly to celebrate the birthday of one of my bestest and dearest. In my busy life I…read moredidn't even check reviews or the website. We came to see the Queen of Motown tribute. It's SOOOO FUN! Because I got tickets so late I ended up sitting in the lounge. Not a bad bet at all! The room with the seating has an unobstructed view of the stage but the lounge was popping. We could dance and move at our own free will. I need to mention I'm still here and a tad tipsy so forgive me if this review takes some unexpected turns. Anthony at the bar is adorable and super kind. He took care of us all night. Something important to note, you may want to eat before you come or bring food with you. There is an outside pzza shop that you can purchase from too. Anywho, some people have on jeans others have on bedazzled jumpsuits. Come as you are?! Definitely want to come back. TLDR.... it's FUN. Feels local. Affordable.

We have been patrons of Almost Famous for years and when we began planning our party they were the first to come to mind.

You helped make memories we will never forget! I highly recommend them for a private party or visit them during there music events. You will not be disappointed!!!!!

Quick question if anyone out there knows. Did this place used to be "JR's" in Livermore?…read moreBack in the day-OMG- around 40 years ago I was the drummer in a Country band (Bob Jackson Band) and we used to play at JR's. Back then that was a real down to earth kind of place. We always played one set of slow dancing music for couples. That place had a traditional old school vibe and good folks were the rule not the exception. If R-Place used to be JR's, I hope the "Room" has the same feel. Respect and all the best to everyone! Giving 4 stars because I wish you success. Hope you still have a Jam Night!!!

And Yelp had a Giveaway for Pairs of Tickets for this Event . I'm not a Lucky Guy , But I was amazed when I was by Cali G of Yelp that I won a Pair of Tickets to this Wonderful Event . So on the Day Of The Music Festival ,I strapped on my Ankle Bracelet and was picked up by my Bodyguard Little John and we Rolled to Wente Vineyards Estates Winery and Tasting Rooms on Tesla Road . This Wente Facility doesn't usually do Music Concerts Except for The Front Porch Music Festival . It was Created by 5th Generatioin Winemaker Karl Wente . These Shows actually started on the Front Porch of his home in Livermore. We Stashed Little Johns Whip in the Large Dirt Lot . and Street Hiked to Will Call and Claim my 2 Wrist Bands . Thanks Yelp !!! It was a Beautiful Day at The Wente Estate . There were Several Food Options and Several Wine Bars Open . There were 2 Stages for Music . The Barrel Room Stage - Acoustical Performances Jules Danny Click Matt EL Peter Case Kingsborough And The Outdoor Stage- Garage Band Academy Elliot Randall & The Deadmen Wolf Hamlin & The Front Porch Drifters - Karl Wentes Band Hot Buttered Rum The Wine was Flowing , Lots of Really Lovely Ladies and Great Live Music = a Great Time . I personally consumed 3 Bottles of Wentes Riesling so I was feeling pretty good. LOL The Music Festival was from 11am- 9pm . My Favorite Music Acts were Jules and Wolf Hamlin & The Front Porch Drifters . Theyb really Brought it and Jammed out . I also bought a Pepperoni Pizza which was Pretty Tasty,. This Music Festival Happens on Labor Day Weekend . This Year It Was Co - Sponsored By Yelp and Livermore Porsche. I really Enjoyed it and Highly Recommend It !!! This Event Is A Baller On A Budget Approved Event !!!

Well, one of my partners in crime decided we just had to attend "The Front Porch Music Festival."…read more She told me that this was an event that was added to her "list of things to do" in the Bay area since 2004... So, I decided to be a team player and assist my lovely friend in checking that box off the list. Needless to say, we had a delightful time. We showed up and it was a bit windy as Livermore can be. But we decided to enjoy the sun and grab a glass of Wente's vino. Now one of my girl friends is apart of the Nth degree wine club so we were given VIP service. This was supreme, let me tell you! As we walked around and enjoyed the different bands, I was experiencing a total blast from the past while running into lovely friends I had known since grade school. Bands were located inside and outside. We grabbed a seat at the fire pit and made friends with a cute couple from Livermore, To end the event, we decided to grab some pizza from the food trucks. This pizza was not just any pizza. It was pepperoni goodness with perfectly backed thin crust. As we left the festival we sadly made our goodbyes to our new friends and decided that it might be a great idea to come back next year.

My make issues are that I am disabled and was made to stand in a long line to get in even though they were escorting wine club members to the front. I asked about help and they told me no to stand in line. Once inside the venue music was great. Only other problem is that their bathroom *portable potty) facilities were not handicap accessible . You needed to climb stairs to get inside. It is embarrassing to have yo have someone you don't know help you so that you don't fall when going in and out

The food was awful and was cleared before we were halfway finished eating…read more I will point out that we did order food near the end of service... However, the Brisket was very very dry. The half chicken also very dry (with a small line of BBQ sauce on it) it was so hard that I broke 2 plastic forks trying to get pieces of it off to eat. The most frustrating thing about the evening was what happened to the $60 meal that we purchased. Our 2 containers of food where on the top of a wine barrel directly behind us. We were standing no more than 3ft in front of this barrel watching the show. In between songs we were picking at our meal but rejoining our focus to the band once songs started kicking in. At some point while my wife and I were watching the show the Wente staff cleared our food. There was way more than half of the Brisket meal and about 3/4 of the Chicken dinner in these containers. I am not sure if someone asked if these meals were done and we didn't hear them over the music or if they simply didn't ask. I found a Wente employee and let them know what happened. The employee said oh, ok I will let the managers know and that was that. Very frustrating. At this point we will not be returning to the Wente Concert series events.

Not going to lie -- I was skeptical. But Tuesday night dance lessons at Mavericks turned out to be…read morea really fun surprise. A few helpful things to know: * $2 cover charge per person * Bring your ID no matter how old you are * Doors open at 6pm with food service and open dancing/practice time The food menu is WAY bigger than what's shown online, which was a pleasant surprise. They also have $2 beef or chicken tacos until 9pm, and overall the food-to-price value is solid. At 7pm, they start the dance lessons: * Line dancing lesson (~40 minutes) * Followed by either partner two-step or swing dancing (alternates every other week) The crowd was all ages (21+ obviously -- and let's just say I'm on the older side), all skill levels, and very beginner-friendly. I'm pretty uncoordinated, and honestly this was some of the best line dancing instruction I've had. After 9pm, lessons end/open dancez A couple practical tips: * There's really nowhere to stash your stuff, so keep it simple -- pockets or a fanny pack work great * Wear closed-toe shoes if possible unless you want your toes stepped on * No one is judging style here, which actually made it more comfortable and fun Overall: low pressure, affordable, welcoming, and a genuinely good time.

They're friendly, but don't pay much attention to you. They don't have a draft beer menu so you have to squint at the board behind the bar. Lots of TVs showing sports, which is great. It seems the good reviews are for the country music and dance side of the place. I've only been to watch sports and eat in the bar area.

The people who run this place keep this place tidy and clean as evidenced by how quickly they cleared my glass and the cleanliness of the bathrooms. I missed the rock n' roll memo, but amazingly talented singers including the KJ himself. The sound system can be pretty loud especially the bass, so ended up keeping my ear plugs in. My only major reservation is how the karaoke queue is managed. Couldn't help but notice the bartenders and some patrons who generously tipped got to sing multiple times in a row. One of the patrons tipped $20 and sang three songs in a row. In comparison, I got one song in in the span of three hours. I kind of expected the place to start clearing out after midnight but ppl stuck around and seemed to be having a good time. If you're not into rock n' roll/metal karaoke, they also have pool, shuffleboard, and darts. I do like the KJ and the patrons here, though in the future, I'll just set the expectation that I'll get one song in and set a curfew for myself.
