So this place is a dive. And parking is awful. And inside is stuffy and dank…read more BUT ... If one of your favorite bands of all time plays here, DEFINITELY. GO. Because Evening Star is a tiny concert venue, so even if you are all the way in the back of general admission, you will likely be closer to the stage than typical. And tickets will likely be way more affordable than other venues, too. (Plus cheap concessions--water was a mere $2 a bottle, unlike the typical $6+ most concert places gouge you for these days.) This was recently the case for me. I was soooooo lucky to see O-Town at Evening Star ... AND IT WAS A DREAM COME TRUE!! Or, ahem ahem, a LIQUID DREAM come true!! ;-) I purchased pit pass tickets, WHICH WERE PHENOMENAL!! I was one-body-deep from the stage, and O-Town was right there--LIKE RIGHT THERE!! I had the perfect view, and SO MUCH EYE CONTACT with the guys, so many longing reaches, my heart exploded no less than a million times. After the show, O-Town had a selfie meet-and-greet option, and I definitely invested in that!! I saw them in 2001 and 2002, and have adored their music ever since. (Like adore-adored, I can belt out both the hits and the deep cuts off of their original album word-for-word, haha.) With the lights on for the meet-and-greet, you could clearly see Evening Star is indeed pretty rundown. But WHO CARES when you can be SO 'EFFIN CLOSE to your faves!! The sound quality of the concert was great, the stage was close and elevated enough where even the back of the house surely had a great view, and the party was POPPIN' with my favorite boys of Pop!! If you don't know O-Town, you are boy-band-MISSING-OUT!! (Immediately YouTube their more recent single, "Off"--damn, they still got it!!) But even if boy bands aren't your thing, whatever is musically your flavor, if they come to Evening Star, GO. You will likely be closer to them than ever before and have the time of your life with your favorite musicians. I'M STILL LOSING IT THAT I WAS SO CLOSE TO O-TOWN!! LIKE I LEGIT GOT HUGS!! FROM ALL OF THEM!! Because I WANT IT ALL!! OR NOTHING AT ALL!! (See what I did there, haha.) So get in there at Evening Star, and get all your hugs from your faves too!!

Went in here last week to see Puddle of Mudd. They didn't come on until 11:30pm, which was just…read morecrazy given that it was a work night. The place is a good size, it looks a lot smaller from the outside. The prices of the drinks were reasonable, and bottles of water were only 2 bucks. There was lots of room to see the opening bands and Puddle of Mudd quite close. The audio though wasn't the greatest, I've heard better. I stood by the side near the windows and nobody from the bar ever came to clean things up, with lots of beer bottles and cups piling up. The music ended around 1:30am which was far too late.

This is a great venue , not only for concerts, but for weddings, anniversaries or any celebration …read more I've been here 2ce now for concerts. It's a nice sized place, With a bar in the center (that only accepts cash unfortunately), A big ladies room with lots of stalls & pretty clean. Chairs for us old ppl who can't stand long. A section for the handicapped. A nice big section for bands' merchandise & for "Meet & Greets." There's actually parking & it doesn't take hours to leave the lot. This is probably my favorite venue for concerts. You don't stick to the floor or anything, lol .

So I came here for the first time on a Wednesday and had an interesting experience…read more Upon arriving, the parking lot in back was completely full, which was impressive seeing as how big it was. I ended up having to park across the street in a tiny lot though I did arrive about 10 minutes before the show was supposed to start. Walking around to the front, I entered in and there was plenty of security at the door. Girls and guys were separated into two lines and we had to empty pockets and I was pat down. After scanning my ticket and getting my wrist band, I was in. The interior was really cool though, I liked the aesthetic. Since it was a Wednesday, I didn't really want to get into the booze, so I asked for just a water, but they don't serve tap, only bottled (which they take the cap away) that cost $3, which I thought was a little strange but oh well. Afterwards, I went up to the balcony and was able to find a chair and high-table to sit down. As soon as I did though, the power went out. In all of Niagara Falls. All the way to Schenectady (apparently). This occurred about five minutes before the show was to start. It took over 2.5 hours for the power to be restored. I was a little disappointed at the lack of communication to the crowd. Though it was pretty cool that some of the members of the bands that were going to perform came out and played acoustic. Once the power was restored though, they were pretty quick at getting the bands on. The first four bands played abbreviated sets while the headliner was able to play their full set (even though they were pushed about an hour behind). The instrumentals came across very well into the balcony but the vocals seemed muffled, I couldn't really understand what the singer was singing. I have a feeling that this would've been rectified had the power not gone out. In the end, I had a good time here. I wish management had communicated a bit more about power restoration times and alternatives, but this is such a rare occurrence for them to have to deal with something like that. I would like to come back here again and, hopefully, experience a normal night here!

This place is not what you would expect, especially if you paid a decent amount for event tickets…read more It's basically a big flat room with a bunch of chairs.

Speaking of tents the also had a tent with tables and chairs. Any place you were you had a great place for listening. They also sold beer and wine. Also pop and water if you were the designated driver. Farther down on old falls street there were restaurants and food trucks. So if you spent many hours just listening you didn't go hungry. The one band we listened to the woman's voice was unbelievable. It was just a great time sitting and relaxing, people watching. Oh and listening to music. Weather was also perfect for the whole weekend.

Since the Hard Rock Cafe on Falls Avenue was conveniently located in the hotel area, I decided to stop there for dinner. I ordered the MESSI Chicken Burger because it looked really good on the menu, and I wanted to try something different. When it arrived at the table, it looked amazing. It was covered in cheese, just the way I like it, and the presentation made it look very appetizing. Unfortunately, underneath all of that cheese were two very hard, overcooked chicken patties. The fries were good, and I did eat the meal, but the burger itself was not what I expected and was definitely disappointing. I also ordered what I believe was an apple cobbler or a similar dessert, but unfortunately, that was even more disappointing. I am not a picky eater, but between the overcooked burger and the dessert, I was not happy with the food at all, especially considering how much I spent. The positive part of the experience was my server. He was very friendly and provided excellent customer service. Since it was my first night in Niagara Falls, he made suggestions about tours and things to do, and he even gave me helpful advice about where I could charge my phone around the city so I could keep taking pictures. I truly appreciated his kindness and helpfulness. Overall, the service was very good, but the food was a major disappointment. The location was convenient, and my server was excellent, but based on what I ordered, I left feeling dissatisfied with the meal.

A great theater to see a concert! I was here for Nick Carter and had a third row center seat!…read moreI will say, security sucks, and needs to be fixed. Everyone stands during BSB shows, which is fine. Nick came out and everyone stood up. There is a big space between the front row and the stage, so the whole front row moved up, which is fine. However, security did absolutely nothing, so everyone from the sides also went to fill that gap, and since I was in the center, went right in front of me. I was also directly in the middle of the row, so I couldn't get out. And to add to this, the one guy that was actually at Nick Carter's show not only moved out to the front, but stood front and center right in front of me. I am short, so I had the honor of seeing the back of his dumb head the entire show. Not to mention, what man stands in front of thousands of women at a Nick Carter show?? I realize that isn't the venue's issue, but I have pent up anger... So, would I see a show here again? Yes, But security needs to fix this, and I will most definitely complain about it if I go back. People with worse seats than me should NEVER be able to go stand in the front row.
