What a nice surprise to find a weekly live music venue in Vallejo!
I went to check it out Wednesday night. Having recently moved to Vallejo from San Francisco, I was hoping to find a halfway decent live music scene locally. I was very impressed with my experience that evening at the Empress.
First, the blues act playing in their lounge was top notch. The room has a nice ambiance and the staff and fellow patrons were all very friendly. I was also impressed with the bar's specialty cocktail selection (which I thoroughly enjoyed).
I highly recommend you check out this place next time you are in Vallejo.

Fun afternoon watching over 20 different musicians and singers for a benefit to the LA fire victims. Great venue. Check out the marquee room next door for music weekly

Saw a Film Noir here last Friday night. Film was excellent! The theater is old fashioned and quite lovely. The lounge is awesome with a well appointed bar where the barkeep knows how to make a solid martini. The lounge is decorated in black and white with photos of musicians. Classy.

This place would honestly get 5 stars because the ambiance. But there is a particular bartender there named Diane that I have constantly heard gossip about guests and coworkers. I avoid her at all costs because her drinks are not consistent and honestly she's rude and not pleasant. All the other ladies that I have seen work the bar are gems. I'm not sure how this one squeezed her way in.

I attended a few shows there. I enjoyed the shows and the margaritas were on point. Wish they offered some type of appetizer.

I recently premiered a film here and ended my night disappointed and underwhelmed- especially for the money I paid. Though they allowed me to do a test screening of my film 2 days before the event, the A/V tech conveniently did not let me test with their subwoofers on. The night of the premiere the subwoofers sounded terrible. I even brought my own sound person with me but it was not salvageable hours before the show. Secondly, right before we went to screen the film a unexplainable green tinge began hitting the screen which both the "qualified" lighting and A/V tech had no solve for. The opening branding for my film all of a sudden was green for no reason. Lastly, the lighting tech- a $400 person to switch the house lights off/on once, blasted me with a spotlight (that I did not ask for) as I was giving my introduction speech, no coordination- no warning and $400 added to the bill. As a younger local independent filmmaker who put a lot of work/money into this night, this entire experience was a bummer.
