Andee Derby-AguileraApril 29, 2018Nice venue at the old back room . Got packed! Security is tight which can be good or bad. Beers are reasonably priced. Overall I liked it🤪
Upvote6Downvote- Jonathan CoffmanMarch 17, 2013Great venue that actually has some of their own parking. Acoustics are pretty good as well. Walgreens across the street has 10 ear plugs for $6 ;)Upvote10Downvote
Always a great time here! They recently improved the aesthetics of the interior and it’s awesome.

Andrea BowdenFebruary 22, 2016Be smart -- grab a parking spot before a bite to eat. You'll find many decent places within walking distance (Buzz Mill!) and have no tow worries later.UpvoteDownvote
Josh MeadowsAugust 4, 2013Whatever you do, don't wear a Nirvana t shirt to a Courtney Love concert! My partner and I wore, Hole and Nirvana to be cute/respectful for lack of better words and she called me out. Good venue stillUpvote2Downvote
Parking gets tight so don't be surprised if you're parked several blocks up the hill. Don't park in neighboring lots, they will tow.Upvote1Downvote
sneak 👾April 4, 2013Don't park in the lot across the street, even if it's late and all the shops are closed. A dozen of us got towed after the MSI show! $190 to get the van back!Upvote7Downvote

Get there early or you'll be stuck risking getting towed or parked far away in a neighborhood.UpvoteDownvote
Isaac B. SanchezMarch 18, 2024The parking is limited at times. You need to get there early enough to get a parking space. The drinks are definitely overpriced!UpvoteDownvote
AmateurConciergeNovember 15, 2019Big room but not too big. Some bench seating on the sidesUpvoteDownvote
Led Zeppelin 2 killed it tonight! One of the best concerts of my entire life, even Robert Plant front stage at Bonnaroo!UpvoteDownvote
Kelly ZhuSeptember 17, 2013Lots of space and such a great venue, but high ticket prices, high alcohol prices, and they wouldn't let me bring in my camera :( #brokeUpvoteDownvote
Somehow retains a sense of the intimacy of the old Emos in a much larger venue. Good luck finding parking.UpvoteDownvote
Don't park anywhere but Emos.the towing company steals the no parking signs all around Emos.take a bus or cab if you aren't getting there earlyUpvote3Downvote
Nick MillerSeptember 25, 2023Good sound system. Slow getting in and almost non existent air flow. $14 for can seltzer...UpvoteDownvote
Naylea HernandezSeptember 17, 2013Capacity 500. Parking 20. All others will be towed.Upvote3Downvote
Kate ThomasonApril 4, 2017Totally got drugged here by someone at the show!! Awful, cover your beverage!UpvoteDownvote
Ryan KeilmanDecember 7, 2015Awful venue, terrible staff, crappy sound, disgusting restrooms... I'd rather drive an extra 100 miles for a show then go to Emos, it's that bad.UpvoteDownvote
Kat SwanseySeptember 17, 2013This place is too big and too clean. I don't even smell like beer. New Emos is thumbs downUpvote2Downvote1
