Yes, the parking is iffy but the staff was so nice. Shoutout to Greg and the guys working that handed out waters.
The venue was small but comfortable,slanted floor and multiple bar areas.
The staff stayed attentive and was proactive in keeping the crowd contained.

Perhaps my favorite venue ever! We started out in the floor and after our bones started to tire out we went upstairs to sit and rest and still had a fantastic view! The floor is on a slant and so you can see the stage so well even from far back on the floor. Beautiful intimate and chill space!

Been here for quite a few shows, love the stage and the sound quality, all the workers are great, tickets are usually very affordable. Mostly all standing. Only complaint… drinks are insanely expensive. Like wildly expensive. Double digits for a Miller Lite is insane to me. Other than that though, great venue in the heart of Richmond City!

Was excited for this show. Purchased the VIP package being that I am a huge Fetus fan. I’m a little older, so sitting is pretty much a must. Selected a balcony seat which had an amazing view…. until an obese woman decided to stand in front of everyone, eclipsing the stage. In between songs myself and other patrons asked her to please sit down so we could see. Consequently, she complained to the staff that we were complaining. Staff approached me and said there was nothing they could do because she was the owner’s daughter (or something?). She stood throughout the entire show. I assume out of spite. Such inconsiderate and rude entitlement. Will never come back.

Bands, however, were great and interactive with audience.

Absolute great venue and an awesome lineup. Almost all the time I would have given it five stars but a $14 Pabst Blue ribbon is just a bit silly

Small venue that attracts big names. The sound carries no matter where you’re at as well. Tickets are also very affordable.
