Concert Ticket AgencyConcert Ticket Agency: Medium size. Clean bathrooms. Decent acoustics. Stand and rock out or go to back for stadium style seating. Basement bar has more secluded lounge area, w/TVs & speakers so you don't miss anything.

Kelsey✨Kelsey✨: Cool place to see a show. It’s a movie theater turned music venue, so they still have the stadium seating if you don’t feel like standing

Spanish Rob V.Spanish Rob V: Amazing, small intimate venue with both GA and stadium seating farther back. Don't buy VIP, it's a ripoff and seats aren't guaranteed so you might just $20 for no reason.
