The facilities neglect the customer. A single food vendor served Indian empanada-like pastries out of a cooler. They came cold and tasted flavorless. The setting has charm (industrial lot next to a railroad track), but felt awkward and uncomfortable, with a large empty space devoid of people and nowhere to sit or rent chairs. A higher level of professionalism would benefit the performance line-ups. The first two performers asked if anyone knew about jobs available. They sang to karaoke tracks of their music. The main musical act, Brandi Blaze, brought energy and creativity for half an hour. The speaker and light systems performed well, but the overall set-up (no tables to eat, asphalt parking lot as listening area, portapotties as bathrooms) felt unrefined. One of the available beers tasted good at $12 a can. Several non-food vendors arrived about 9 pm; the music started at 8 and the doors opened at 7. I would have enjoyed walking around and visiting them before the start of the show. I recommend having them set up before. Overall, for your money you can have better experiences elsewhere, like the Lawn on D Street. ONCE, if you want people to come back: (1) get a food truck serving hot food; (2) provide tables to eat; (3) have non-food vendors set up before the gates open; (4) provide or rent chairs.

one of the best independent venues left in the Boston area.
Took my 15 year old and friends to see a band. Old place kind of dirty looking but nice people.
Great venue with lots of fun bands and folks.
Affordable, accommodating venue promoting creative programming, entertainment and community
Cool bar and nice venue
