Digital Tour BusJuly 4, 2011"Merch is generally upstairs and bathrooms are behind the stage - take the ramp to the right of the stage. Men's room is at the top of the ramp, women's room is down the hall." -We Are The Union
Generally well mixed sound, but bring some ear plugs because chances are it will be loud enough for a full crowd but a barely populated show.- Digital Tour BusMay 10, 2011Close quarters, but a lot of fun to see your favorite band up close and personal! Plus, there are some secret booths upstairs by the bands’ merchandise.
Brian OlsonMay 12, 2013Clint is awesome! Best place to play if you are in a band and love your booze!
Tim WeidemanFebruary 14, 2011Stage isn't very tall so hope you don't find yourself standing behind a tall person. If the shows going to be packed, get there early to find a good spot.
Zachary Bales-HenryMarch 13, 2011It's amazing what they are doing for the local music scene. I have seen some amazing people play here.
Great place to catch a show, but the bartenders tend to be assholes- DamatoJune 7, 2011Hey Everyone!! Coming into town June 12 with Parachute & Hugo!! Be sure to come out and pick up your FREE download of Everybody vs. U & Me from OfficialDamato.com.
Tickets for nearly every show are available through tikly.co (co, not com).
