Rock Club · Copper Square · 110 tips and reviews
Ryan Compton: I love that you can chill in the Lounge and still hear the tunes from the Ballroom pretty pretty well.
Cheearra Esquerra: They have only two unisex restrooms. One in the Lounge and one in the Ballroom. Clearly, the design isn't practical for a music venue...
Anthony Duran: Had 2 burritos from the bar, were really good, especially with salsa. A great spot for a close up n' personal experience with your favorite artist (as long as you get there early.) Same for seating.
