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. I wasn't too crazy about that, for their first all ages show, but it's Reno I guess. To their credit, I explained the situation and they quickly & respectfully extinguished. (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.

This Holiday Market was so cool. Not only were there alot of vendors, they were all really unique. The place was full of color, creativity and tons of positive energy, just the perfect vibe. 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!
