I can't comment on the food or drinks, but the concert I went to was fantastic! The audio wasn't too loud, and it was a fun experience being so close to the artist. I would definitely come back for another show. It's in a plaza, so there was plenty of parking.

Go listen to some music and slam on some tots. You won't regret it! Seriously, good vibes and good people.

I saw a buddy play a show here, and it was comically loud. I wish I had brought earplugs, but oops. Anyway, it finally occured to me to put in my noise-cancelling earbuds, and guess what? I could actually understand the singer's lyrics. I could hear what the lead guitar player was noodling. Whatever was cancelled out left just the band, and they sounded great.

There are two sound guys in the corner, and I don't really understand what they were going for. This isn't My Bloody Valentine. If you can turn it down enough to actually let us hear the music, it would help not just the bands onstage but also the fans who want to be able to hear music, or even just sounds, when they're 50.

Place has a great vibe tho, and the night's crowd was great.

Several attempts to come here for food with rules changing every time . They are never clear on entrance for people with tickets or what is or isn’t available. Be more clear and transparent.

the beer selection is always good. The food is actually always good. It's a little bit punk rock and it's a little bit just a bar?

Vegetarian options: Papas taco (potato, duh)
Avocado taco
red and green burrito with the above
nachos

Didn’t get to go in at a Josh Tatofii concert. The door lady would not scan our tickets. Instead of helping us she sent us out. Will never come here again and Hope Josh drops this venue!

Saw reggae band Bobby Alu for $20 which was fantastic. Acoustics were great in the stage area and the service at the bar was prompt. Definitely recommended for music amd drinks. didn’t try the food. they have two pool tables that looked fun although I couldn’t figure out where to put my quarters to reserve a spot. there’s a small smoking area outside as welll.

Odd location, but great acts come through here. Not stingy with the beverages, either.

Perfect place to go on a random night! Safe. Cool, nice people and you can get drunk without getting robbed or stabbed at the exit. That’s a win now in OC.
