Met up with my boy to see a show. Dive bar vibes with 80s new wave and punk videos projected on the wall. The door person was super polite and answered all my questions I had about the line for admission and door times. The show venue is downstairs. Had no idea this venue was here. Never went to the OG location so I can’t compare. Great size and perfect for indie bands and a small crowd. Smaller than 9:30 but bigger than Atlantis. More like an underground Black Cat. Seating section was a bit awkwardly placed in the back to the side side. Not sure I’d pay extra for that again. Staff isn’t super professional but are friendly and fast. As I said, dive bar vibes, so it’s like a bunch of misfits hustling around. We ordered pizza and fries which were not great. Got the job done but I wasn’t into the thin crust which was an overcooked on the edges but overall greasy so the main are was super limp and moist. I don’t drink so I ordered a coke. It definitely wasn’t Coke, some kind of cola that tasted like a different drink mixed in through the gun. I had to send it back. The rest of the non alcohol options were sparse and uninteresting. Ultimately the show was great, sound was loud but just right. We were next to the speaker and it didn’t blow our ears out or leave them ringing after we left. I’d definitely go back for a show but will eat somewhere else before I get there.

Emailing them from the website about my wheelchair accommodations was super easy, they were very friendly and so helpful. They roped off a designated area in front of the stage so I could sit in my wheelchair but still see the stage, and they even grabbed a seat for my husband so we could watch together. Thank you so much!!
