I went here for an Alison Wonderland concert. This was my first time experiencing Venue 578 and downtown orlando's nightlife.

Parking was a little difficult to find for a first timer. The staff was really friendly. It was a very easy process to get in. If you purchase your ticket online, you line up to get in the door and then give your name once you walk in the door.

Drinks are tiny and expensive $7 for a mixed drink in an extremely small clear plastic cup! $5 for beer. Bathroom line was crazy. They really need to add more stalls. It was so bad that many of the the women were also in both the men's bathroom. Time was from 10pm to 2 am. Alison didn't come out until around 12:45am and the people on the main stage were boring leading up to her. Not knowing much about the place I was really hoping for more of a dubstep concert atmosphere and it is defiantly a club.

One thing I really enjoyed was the small side room on the right that I think hardly anyone knew about. The music in there was more of what I was expecting to get before Alison Wonderland, great dubstep. The main floor was just clubbing music, drinking, and throwing up type if party until Alison came out.
