Great venue, but the floor is rather flat. Sound is okay and balcony seating is minimal.

I was there that night for a Trans Siberian Orchestra cover band and enjoyed listening to the spirit of Electric Rock Christmas. Afterwards o enjoyed Christmas carols in the speakeasy along with holiday spirits. Great night out ..
