Dining Tips
Finish dinner 30+ minutes before showtime. Most restaurants offer pre-theater menus.
Highly recommended, especially for evening performances. Book ahead to avoid disappointment.
Most listed restaurants are within 5-10 minutes walk. Factor in extra time during busy hours.

Went for Rico Nasty's closing show on her Lethal tour. Beautiful venue, wasn't too crowded even though it was crowded lol (LOVE those risers on the floor), and staff/security were on point without being overbearing. The drinks were stiff & reasonably priced. The rooftop is a beautiful lil secret! LEGENDARY spot. 👏🏽👏🏽
Great medium sized venue for a show. The inside has a great historical vibe. The main floor is great for dancing during the concert, while the balcony has seating like the old movie theaters with comfortable cushions, and there are about 5 VIP couches in front of the theatre seats in the balcony. There are bars on the main floor and balcony area. I only saw one of the smaller rooms, not sure if there are more, that was open for the after-party. Sound system was good and we really enjoyed ourselves!
I've only been to this venue once, and the show was great. The lighting was good, and drinks are affordable. This rating should be taken with regards to ADA seating location. The photos you see are from me standing. The ability to see without standing is limited in the ADA section. The sound wasn't great, but that could be because of the overhang. So if you're outside of the ADA section, or don't have to worry about accommodations then all the negatives could go away.
Great venue! Went to see Chromeo's Fancy Footwork Front 2 Back 1st Night. Amazing show and great spot to see it!
First time attending this venue to watch Wisp perform. Very reasonably riced admission. Acoustics are phenomenal. Very cozy and balcony is a great place to watch the performance from above at a reasonably close distance. Parking nextdoor is $25.
