. Sadly, the bar was filled with Neo-Nazis (men with swastikas tattooed on them with motorcycles with nazi symbols). According to google, they’ve allowed “ loud and proud” white supremacist to perform there in the past. Definitely will not come back for safety reasons, and would recommend being mindful if you decide to go and you’re a minority.
Great spot for Shows. Love the staff

I've always loved Dingbatz as a patron. My experiences there have always always been positive ones. The food (across the street at Dingos) is top notch and fairly priced and I've never had poor service at the bar. It ONLY loses one star because I have had many friends (and bands) who have Not had good experiences there, and sometimes that varies greatly depending on who is working the shift and what kind of mood they are in at the time. But I always try to encourage bands to play here - the stage is SMALL and there's no green room but unless you're a bunch of pretentious jerks, the staff WILL take care of you, and your fans will be grateful for the up close and more personal experience that you simply cannot get at big venues.

Overall, the place is not bad for a show. The place could use some updating. It gets crowded and hot when there are shows. The set up by the bar, to get to the stage doesn't flow and causes a back up to get to the bar, bathroom, or stage.
But the sound is good when there s band up.

I had a great time last year seeing a friend's band Edge of Paradise there in the small venue.My only complaint would be lack of parking,but I was lucky enough to find a spot behind the bar.Now considering the D.R.I. show on Sat. night 9/6/25.

This place is awesome! I saw Silence Equals Death there and it was perhaps the best time I've ever had in my entire life

Quick drinks, good music.
I love this place. Tied to Dingo's across the street, it's a terrific little venue (maybe can hold a couple hundred people when packed) to watch heavier, live music. Fred doesn't hold back with the largely disregarded genre of metal music when he books groups, though he books plenty of other varieties as well. Cheap tickets, reasonable alcohol prices and you can order in food from the sister place across the way. Cheers to the regional Metal oasis that is Dingbatz!
Great bar, great entertainment. Went there to see Mourning Noise.
Love this place! Always a fantastic time! Great music and sound system. People here are always welcoming and friendly. Drinks are great and not expensive. Definitely making this a regular place to see whenever I'm in the area
