    When it comes to concerts, this place isn't the best, although they get great acts. But as a comedy venue? It's the best. Be sure to get food before hand. They only serve the world's saltiest popcorn.

    One of my favorite spots! Brew 'n View is the greatest. Make it to Spike and Mike's Animation Festival one time and you will make it every year after.

    3 weeks later and yep, doorman still rude beyond comprehension upon entering AND exiting. Servers still awesome. I'm now up to 3 friends who won't return. This schtick is beyond played out, MB.

    Why can't the staff here get the stick out of their ass and JUST BE POLITE? It is seriously a crappy experience dealing with doorman, and behind bar staff. Most waitstaff great. Bands great. Just UGH

    Nice small venue for concerts, though sound can get loud so bring ear plugs!

    Be sure the dumb ass security guy knows what brand of water he actually sells before he accuses you of sneaking your own in.

    It's just like a real movie theater in that concessions are ostentatiously priced! Yay!

    Get to the Brew 'N View shows early as the seating in the back sucks hard.

    Mark: manager. The Head Jerk. Roid rage issues or something. The servers are nice. But the "management" is the worst I've ever experienced. Pay to watch a show. Support musicians. Do not tip the staff

    Overpriced beer, staff attitude that reeks of suburban-snottiness/trying too hard. Only ever been here for a few shows. I try to avoid this place.
