We also caught a few other bands performs like Seepie and Shortwave too. The volume of the mics were just right, and the crowd was energetic from start to finish. It was a packed house! We love to see it. The bar staff was also very friendly. We will be back!

Would not recommend. The ambiance may appeal to some, but the owner's behavior was completely…read moreunacceptable. He openly used racist language toward Black customers and acted as if he could do no wrong. Very disappointing experience, and I hope the business is held accountable for it.

Ah, Toad's! I haven't been to this venue is ages…read more I caught the SiR show and it was great. I love the acoustics and intimacy of the venue. As someone who's 6'3, general admission never bothers me. In Toad's I can see the stage from anywhere I'm standing. Parking is always a nightmare so it's definitely worth taking the CT Rail down and bar hopping around New Haven before the show.

Went to Bingo Loco. The event wasn't worth the money but Toads provided great drinks. They were…read morepricey but good. Parking is terrible but it's New Haven.

Get there earlier and leave early if you don't want traffic! There is multiple street sections that are FREE!! We were lucky enough to park in somebody's driveway for less parking than the venue charged but even with parking at the venue, we've only had to wait a short while for exiting. A little walk isn't that bad! It also depends on WHO is performing. The crowds will be different based on the show so keep that in mind. A Bob Marley tribute had LESS people, HALF the stadium while sublime was SOLD OUT and completely full!! Know your audience!

The last few shows I've been to I've been able to stand right at the stage. They do have a bar there for folks that drink or they do serve water as well for folks that don't. Sound is pretty good there as well. I've seen bands such as The Spill Canvas, Pete Yorn, Smile Empty Soul, Kamenar, Hearts and Hand grenades, Mom rock and so many more. You could also rent out this location or at least you used to be able to host a private event. I hosted a benefit concert many moons ago.

It's my understanding that there host events that are seated, but ask that question before you make a purchase. I enjoyed the concert I attended. I felt safe and the drinks are on point! They pour for adults so if you are a lightweight, bring a designated driver along. The staff are friendly and just want to do their job well. The photographers are there to snap pictures of the crowd and the band, so let them work too. Great spot!!

During my time here in CT I've noticed that when it comes to your average "all-ages" events/venues…read moreyou get one of two experiences. You basically have to pick between hanging out with the dim-witted, mainstream types at loud, gaudily lighted "nightclubs" that are basically just high school dances with more skin and bouncers instead of chaperones or tiny, cramped, pseudo-hipstery music venues like The Space where you pay to stand around and be judged by even bigger douchebags in "Defend Pop Punk" hoodies. Where those places fail, the Amity Teen Center succeeds. They don't try to reel you in with goofy decorations that look like they came from a T.G.I Fridays managed by Tim Burton nor do they cater to the baser instincts of the young and stupid. They know their demographic and they use that knowledge to create an atmosphere that is both fun and safe. The bands that play there always bring something new and unique to the table and for those just looking for a place to get away from it all to hang with their friends and play some video games the arcade area is kept clean and orderly. The staff are more than happy to help no matter what and go out of their way to be as friendly and accommodating as possible. For them it isn't just a job, it's a second home, and that really shows in how well the place is run on a day to day basis. If you haven't checked it out yet and even if you're in the 18+ crowd I would highly recommend checking it out, especially on weekends when the stage is open to bands both local and touring from sometimes even as far away as other countries. It's definitely a place worth experiencing.
