This fun bar is only a fraction the size of its backyard concert facilities. The bar itself has a retro look and include several tables spread across a couple of rooms. The is another bar outside the building facing the backyard's two stages. They have frequent events and drink specials.
There are several food trucks onsite, which when I visited included a pizza truck in the back and a coffee truck in the front. They have a little parking lot in front of the building.

I bought tickets for an event here and I tried to reach out to the seller for a possible refund like a month in advance because due to unforeseen circumstances I could not make. I’ve reached out over 5 times and nothing. So unprofessional. I’m not even mad I couldn’t get a refund at all. I’m mad that the owner, or any type of manager here did not reach back out to me. No contact. No customer service.

Cool little spot, except it felt claustrophobic lol. You CANNOT go outside unless you pay for whatever little event they have. That’s SO dumb to me, I can’t walk outside and breathe air because you have fence around the building?? It’s extremely loud inside, everything echoes back off all the concrete and hard surfaces. There’s no area to just walk outside and sit if you don’t want to attend the stupid little event going on… they’re also VERY rude about it. Methica was gatekeeping the door and she was not budging unless it was for a cigarette break.. I don’t care to go back, it wasn’t even that cool and there’s way better spots.

WATERED DOWN DRINKS and Horrible customer service. I was very polite when asking them about my drink, and the bartender was immediately hostile

I never went in the lounge, so I didn't try any of the food, but I saw a show at the main stage. The venue was great, and the sound was fantastic!

It’s a good place for live music, but not for a comedy fest.
Cool atmosphere but no place to wash your hands and dirty bathrooms. Was told water was “I think $6” but was charged over $10 and only told after she ran the card.

Not enough seating for a large crowd. Food is terrible. Cost of one drink is $20+.

Pretty awful experience right as I walked in the door, I wasn’t welcomed, smiled at. No one was in the bar. Oh well I’m a young guy they probably dont get too many young faces. Anyways I’m saying at the hotel right next to it so I thought I’d stop by for some drinks and live music, not only did I have to pay to hear them I wasn’t even told I had too. I walked up to the counter asked is the band free to listen too, big dude over the counter says yeah it’s a cover band. And I clarified again and asked if was free again, guy across the counter says the exact same thing. I asked okay cool how do I get back there he points to the door, and I make my way out there. Few minutes pass by and someone comes out saying I have to pay, after I just had this whole conversation with the other worker. So they bring me back in to pay for the music lady ask for my id and card, I told the guy I originally spoke with so it wasn’t free and looked at me dead in my eyes and said I told you it wasn’t. Anyways bad vibes from the big guy in black. Everyone else was chill. Wouldn’t recommend to anyone tbh 100x better bars any where else. The seating was pretty buns too. They had like 25 chairs total in the entire place. Only go there if your looking for rough crowds and a rude worker. Btw I didn’t even buy anything after that situation being handled like monkeys after she checked my id I just walked out. If your going to have a business where people buy things from you be nice, it’s not hard….

Great outdoor venue with live music.

Better views than stubbs for a show but otherwise similar. If crowded, the drink lines are really painful and bleed into the concert crowd. Entry is also amateur hour; probably stood in line for 35-40 minutes to get in. Acoustically fine (generally better than Stubbs). For whatever reason the neighboring businesses have chosen to not profit from a major parking deficiency in the area. Like stubbs, only worth a major concert if you really want to see the band.

This not a reflection of far out lounge. They were amazing and I had a great time despite this following review.
II was watching a band play on the weekend and I was approached by a man he said his name was John espana, He said he worked for security for the venue. He said some very inappropriate things to me and made gestures that made me feel very uncomfortable. I’m sorry for the bad review. I’m not into giving bad reviews, it was just a very scary experience with that man.
How do I get in contact with the facility? I am unable to call you guys or no one will respond to my emails. I am inquiring regarding venue event tickets.
Awesome live music venue and bar, had the best time watching a few bands play. Tons of outdoor space, such a cool vibe.
