    Definitely would not recommend attending a show here. Getting through security was more adventurous…read morethan getting through TSA at the airport. We saw them take a Sharpie from someone. The guy even explained that he wanted to meet the band after and have them sign his poster. Too bad. They sent various other people back to their cars for other minor things too. It did not make sense or make us feel any safer. It just made going to a show feel like a chore. Once we were inside we all wanted to grab a beer. This is definitely not the place to do that! They had about 5 beers to choose from all of which I would never ever drink nor would anyone else in our group which is saying a lot because we all have pretty diverse tastes. All of the beers were like $18, even the garbage beers. I expect that price as we pay $19/beer at the hockey games but the arena offers a great selection. I'll pay $19 for a good beer. I saved lots of money at The Underground since they don't have any beer worth drinking. The bartenders at the bar on the left were not friendly and not interested in answering any questions. We ventured to the bar on the right and a few of us ordered mixed drinks.

    As far as the sound here goes, it's great! Bathrooms are in the way back and they do have three…read morebars. However, there's very few seats and they were reserved for vip only. I didn't even see a handicapped seating area. Lighting is decent and one major positive was they had the a.c. cranked up high on the July evening we were there, when it was like 95 degrees outside. 2 major drawbacks...1. There's literally NOWHERE to park in the area for free. Th cheapest lot we found was around the corner and at the end of the street in a gravel lot and it was 12 bucks. Parking right at the venue is 40 bucks. 2. Drink and beer prices inside are way high. A shaker cup cocktail is 20 bucks and it's ALL ice. Refills are 17 bucks!!!! Another thjng I didn't like is that the box office is not attached to the venue and is up the street and they didn't take cash for tickets there. They also don't give you a paper ticket...they digitally text you a receipt and your tix too. Security has a walk through metal detector and they wand folks as well.

Upon arriving we noticed that they have a private parking lot and didn't seem to be very busy. As we entered, it's a small place and you can seat yourself. The bartender/waiteress was very friendly and quickly took our order. We decided to order one Philly steak sandwich and one Cuban sandwich. They both were delicious and reasonably priced.

    Yup! I'm back here…read more Although I am one for consistency and it usually bothers me when there is constant turnover, I must say I am never disappointed when it comes to this place and satisfying my crave to disregard slim hips! The food here is just good, fun, greasy diner type delicious. Crispiest onion rings I have ever had. They have gone up on the prices a bit (but who hasn't). They have this cool food truck style kitchen right there at the bar. Small space, so live music is usually just a solo artist. Downstairs is a cozy den type setting. Nice for sipping wine or bourbon, while chatting up with close friends. Outside patio is nice, with tall top tables and backyard is mostly used for corn hole competitions. Regulars are very serious about the game. Not sure what your definition of "steady" is, but mine is keep satisfying, never change, and always keep em' coming back. Y'all nailed it!

    Had a great first experience here attending a concert featuring a few 80's British artists…read more The place is nice, well organized and easy to get in and out of. We found parking a couple of blocks away for free. Security was easy to get through. They have lawn seating or actual seats. Lots of beverage stations, also some food trucks. We had great seats right in front of the stage, but honestly there's not a bad seat here as it's not a huge venue. Ticket prices are kinda steep as are the alcohol beverages served up in a plastic cup. I guess that's the norm these days though. I paid $100 for 2 beers and 2 mixed drinks. Sound was really good for the concert, it ran on time and overall was a great show. Located at The Bowl in Ballantyne where there are plenty of eating and drinking places. Great venue!

    The AMP is beautifully situated but inadequate in variius other capabilities such as its proximity…read moreto ample or sufficient parking, use of personal support items, or size. The proximity to resturants and retail us cool. Recently they have mandated the use of rental chair, removed quality restrooms for port-a-potty, mandated use of their provided libations with strict Coca-Cola use. (DASSANI is disgusting BTW), and use of same vendors over and over again thus lacking in diversity. The EPI staff is also not diverse nor do they have the best attitudes. I decided today would be my last AMP visit. I'll stick with the other two.

    The place has Latin music on certain nights of the month. Our friends like to practice dancing…read morethere and I liked to join them. Unless you arrive early before the music starts, the parking is terrible there and sometimes I feel unsafe to walk through those alleys in the dark alone. However the guard to the place has given me the worst impression without respect or common sense a few times that discouraging me to go there again. When I asked my friends if they experienced that, a few even said they had never been asked to show ID to go into the place. Perhaps we are Asian female and look strange. At one time, my friend came from other state and left her driver license in the car at my home. She showed that she had a copy of ID, We are all beyond 50's, the security said she had to have the real driver license. Come on give us a break? We had to drive home to get it. Last night, I went there myself, not only this guard examined my driver's license to see if that's real, check my bag and even asked me to open my jacket that was just an pullover. What authorities did he had? That's an insult to a female. Should this place hire a female guard for female as well? Someone is wrong with those guys. Been to many nightclubs in Charlotte, this is the worst I've come across so far. Been in upper management in law enforcement all my life, here I then find one who doesn't need to bring his head but his power to work.

Never in my life have I paid more than $20 for a double shot of HIGH END liquor (makers, crown, grey goose) much less JACK which is a MID SHELF. Absolutely absurd pricing on drinks and I was threatened to get bounced if I refused the drink?!? I offered an alternative and he said no... Miss this spot entirely, rude staff and overpriced drinks!!!! I'm from Denver too, higher rent, higher median income, cheaper bars than this spot. Rabbit Hole? more like Shithole
