One of the best places in Orlando to catch a concert of up and coming musicians. My wife and O have seen musicians here such as Matt Nathanson, Zac Brown Band, Sister Hazel and many more. Great Venue.

Great small venue. The dual levels really give an intimate feel to the concert you're seeing...which is amazing if it's your favorite band you're here to see. I wish all my faves would book here

Awesome club for concerts, but be warned: you will leave with aching ribs if your show is for any music with a strong bass line, the room is so small the bass just goes right through you. Kick ass!

This is an Orlando staple and a perfect place to catch the best music. Check their calendar to purchase tickets ahead of time!

Awesome underground concerts. Esp Orlando aLive, which is a monthly event with an open mic, music from a variety of genres + an artist popup shop. Follow @OrlandoaLive for next date!

10/10 Best small venue. Incredibly cozy and surreal being only a few feet away from any artist performing here

Awesome intimate music venue with great character and reasonable drink prices. An Orlando staple.

Everything from reggae to punk to electro-pop plays here. The dual-level floor ensures there’s not a bad seat in the house, be it at a small table (get there early for one) or in the sunken mosh pit.

Do not try and smoke in here, you will get kicked out. Small venue and easy to see everything with great acoustics. No pat down. A variety of acts come through here, local to national touring jambands

Pretty eclectic in the way of shows offered, though they still manage to surprise. They shall not be pigeonholed! Get in there, get cozy and drop $15 on beers. You'll be glad you did. Read more

Get a spot as close to center stage just behind the handrails for best audio position.
Michelle McCONNAUGHHAYFebruary 22, 2011
One of the best small venues in Orlando. The main bar gets crowded but there is another in the back that is usually quick!
Stephen DeAugustinoJanuary 17, 2011
Favorite venue in Orlando. Not too big, not too small. Get a picture in the photo booth in the back; it's famous!
