We visited last night, 1/18/26 for the Bert Kreischer show. The auditorium is very basic and easy…read moreto maneuver around. I feel there are no bad seats in this auditorium. We sat in section 15, row F seats 4 & 5 and had no problem seeing or hearing. The seats are jam packed together so you do feel like you're sitting on top of each other, but that would not stop of from coming back. We parked in the parking lot on 7th street, only $10 to park and it is right there. No walking blocks away. Great time had!

Somehow I have been here twice in less than a month! I guess the offerings the Bell brings to the…read morearea are just too good to resist. I love live music and you will find plenty here. You'll also have the option to see comedians, musicals, and the occasional children's production. What has always been a plus in my book is their flow. The line through security and check-in is constantly moving, the concessions are quick, and there are team members across the entire arena to help you find your seat (which is especially helpful when the lights go down!). Though I am not a snack/eat kind of person at concerts, they do have plenty to offer. Burgers, pretzels, nachos and cheese. Of course soda, water, coffee, beer, and wine are also available on every level and every corner. Every downtown needs the large arena to draw in the massive shows (and monster truck rallies), but they also need a medium sized venue so artists can stop through on their way to Atlanta or Columbia. The Bell meets that need and is a great substitute for the next few years while the James Brown Arena is being reconstructed. I hope you check a show there soon.

New Brookland Tavern was alright. Their music is hit-or-miss and the bar is mediocre at best - I…read morewas not impressed with their selection of beers or cocktails. They do have a pretty cool alleyway where you can stop and chat with other patrons. Overall, it's an average bar and venue.

The manager took issue with our clear stadium bags, even though they fully complied with the size…read morerequirements listed on the venue's own website. We specifically purchased these bags to meet their stated policy, yet he insisted they were too large and initially told us we would not be allowed entry. What made the situation even more frustrating was the way it was handled. Even after we showed him the venue's own specifications proving the bags were permitted, he refused to acknowledge the mistake and continued to treat us disrespectfully. Rather than resolving the issue professionally, he chose to double down and create an unnecessarily hostile experience. As you can see in the images, it fits their criteria. Because of this interaction alone, I will not attend another event at this location.

I appreciate that this is a smaller venue, but my friend was sent away because she had a small…read morefanny pack on her. When she told the security guard that she needed the bag to hold her tampons and she didn't have pockets so what was she supposed to do, the guy responded with "figure it out". We had to walk all the way back to the parking deck to leave both of our small bags and put whatever we could fit into my jean pockets. I guess some men don't understand that women's clothing isn't always made with pockets and we have something called a menstrual cycle, so it may not be so simple to "figure it out". Very glad I was there with her. And that I had pockets! Otherwise, the concert was great. But I don't think I'll be seeing another one here again.

This one doesn't go all the way to the mountains, but you could easily spend a day on it on foot, and biking and boating are options as well. The infrastructure was good, and multiple open bathrooms and water fountains were available. The paths were generally quite wide (as former towpaths) and had plenty of space for bikes and pedestrians to share, with a couple of interesting exceptions. I didn't do any tours, but I expect the history is worth pursuing.
