The bar had a decent selection of drinks and was average for this type of spot. The issue I have is the audio quality of the venue. It is poor. There are two flown speakers on either side of the stage, they are directed to the rear of the room. There is nothing to cover the front of the audience. I was up on the railing for the show and I could not hear any vocals from the band. There are wedge monitors directed at the band, but no front fills for the audience. I had a good time, but the audio quaility needs to be improved.

I like that they provide a big cooler of water for people to fill their cups. Another customer lit up a joint in front of my two 12 year olds.

(Now I'm a Karen, dang...) We didn't try the food, but the drinks were reasonably priced. Great selection of beers & cider on tap. Super nice employees. Excellent sound quality. Looking forward to seeing another show in the near future!!

This past weekend I was going to breakfast down the way, and had some time to kill with the wait so wondered on down. This is a GREAT local music shop with small venue in the back. So many instruments and a very cozy/warm atmosphere. The converted house is the perfect building for this type of business. The owner (or one of them?) was quick to greet us and show us around the place. I tried out a couple of vintage instruments when I was there and he was very knowledgeable and informative about what I was playing. Looking forward to coming back for a live performance at sometime. They seem to have routine jam sessions as well as touring musicians stopping by the place.

We rang the doorbell and were greeted by one of the owners, Don, and his dog LadyBug. Don informed us that if we were looking for records, we were in the wrong place but told us to come check out what they DID have. Mountain Music Parlor is a cute little shop filled with all sorts of instruments. So many that you'll have to go see for yourself including endless ukuleles, cricket violins, guitars, and more. The most amazing thing about Don was that no matter what obscure musical instrument or accessory we asked about, Don had it! From cajons to violin mutes. He also showed us the performance room where they have different jam sessions including Celtic nights, Old Time, Cowboy, Aloha Ukulele, Open Mic, and Bluegrass. They also have music lessons available for various instruments. I'm so glad to have stumbled upon Mountain Music Parlor and will definitely be getting all of my musical knick knacks from them for the foreseeable future. Always excited when I can support great local businesses like this!

I have been to two shows in the last year here at the Grand Theatre, and while I think it's a great…read morevenue, it's not perfect. The venue itself is nice. Well designed, lots of bars and bathrooms. It's easy to get in and out. Traffic flow is usually not too bad. They do have construction happening for the new arena, which means that parking at the GSR is limited, so be aware on show nights and come a bit early. The bar prices are semi-reasonable. They have beer, canned cocktails, and some wine choices. They also have light snacks for purchase, but no real food options. The primary challenge with this venue is the sound. It's just not great. The echoes are noticeable, and it's often way too loud in here. I always feel like I need my earplugs at this venue. Many reviews tell you how great their show was, and I think they are confusing the show quality with the venue quality. The shows here are great, but that doesn't have anything to do with the venue itself. If you are looking for a top-shelf auditory experience, you might want to consider seeing your show at another venue. If you're okay with some sound imperfections, the Grand Theatre is a perfectly fine venue.

I do have to say that it was a bit warm and music was too loud to have a conversation with the vendors, but I suppose that's minor.

Tickets said doors would open at 7, with the show at 8. I don't think the doors actually opened until after 7:30, and the line was 3-blocks long when I arrived around 8. As others have noted, this is a Fire Marshal's nightmare. I finally made it to the front of the line just before 9 p.m., and the bouncers were rushing us, saying the show would start at 9. It started around 9:10. I had initially tried to hang back on the first floor, but it was nearly impossible to move or to see the faraway stage, so I made my way upstairs. Now, to call this a concert venue would be generous. It's a two-level shotgun bar that happens to have sound equipment but poor acoustics. The upstairs had a pretty large ladies bathroom, though one toilet was flushing non-stop and my stall had no TP--before the show! I made my way into the upstairs bar area, where it was much easier to move about, but with only two bartenders for hundreds of people vying for drinks, I gave up and went to find a place to watch the concert. Problem is that from the upper level, you really cannot watch anything and the sound, as mentioned, isn't great. If you don't know the songs and the lyrics, you won't enjoy the show. There was at least one song that played that sounded SO familiar, but it took me several minutes to recognize it because everything was so muffled. Upstairs, there is a short metal railing with high metal stools along it. I think the owner's idea was to have the first row of concert-watchers sitting so others behind them could see, but unfortunately, this takes up more space and doesn't lower the person's profile, so those behind are farther back with no view. I felt terrible for the fans around me who were shorter than I am. There were a few TV monitors around the bar that occasionally had a live stream of the stage, but how disappointing to go to a concert and not even get to see the person who is performing? I was not surprised that the band didn't play an encore. The biggest fans couldn't even see them and vice versa. Though the tickets were inexpensive (under $40), I hope bands and their booking agents will seriously think twice about playing here. There are SO many better venues in the Tahoe area. Heck, Crystal Bay Casino is an excellent venue with a much better bar and music setup. Just do everyone a favor and don't play here.

This place is understaffed and their operations is a joke. It took over an hour to get into a show here, the line was extremely long and very slow moving. There was still a very long line when the artist went on, such disrespect to the artist. Once you got to the door, you had 1 person checking ID's, 1 person checking tickets, and 1 person barely being a security guard. This unpreparedness and lack of streamlined operations is not very supportive of the artist performing. The venue appeared to be a bit run down. Women's restrooms are not well kept, no toilet paper in any stalls. The venue floors are disgustingly sticky wherever you walk. The main venue area was so packed, you can barely move, I'm pretty sure they were overcapacity. The bars were understaffed, there were only 2 bartenders covering the large second floor bar for hundreds of people and half of the time one of the bartenders was not really serving people. It took at least 30 mins to get a round of drinks. For a bar that claims that they have "one of the largest selections of craft beer on tap", they only had canned/bottled beer available. The sound is the worst I've ever heard at a music venue, you could barely understand the artist performing. There were TV's showing the performance, but they were either delayed or not working. The upstairs viewing area is very limited, if you're not standing at the balcony that overlooks the stage, you're relying on the terrible TV's. I don't think they have good management in place, this place is a joke! I will never go to a show here again!

It's a true dive bar in the best possible way -- cheap drinks, free pool, good people, hot girls, hot guys, and absolutely zero pretentiousness. The fact that it's open 24/7 is a huge bonus, and being able to smoke inside just adds to that classic dive-bar atmosphere. You never really know what kind of night you're going to have here, but you know it's going to be entertaining. One of my favorite things is Family Day on Sundays. They provide FREE food for everyone, which is something you just don't see anymore. It really gives the place a sense of community that makes it stand out. If you're looking for a fancy cocktail lounge, this probably isn't your spot. But if you want a real bar with character, good vibes, pool, interesting people, and a place where you can walk in at literally any hour -- this is it.
