Physically the venue is really good. Very large dance area where you can position yourself to your liking - work your way up front if you like the being-packed-in-like-sardines front row concert experience, or stay in the offskirts to the sides or back if you prefer more air and room to dance. Smoking area out back is okay I guess, although def not fancy, just a gated-in area of the back lot basically, with no seating. Second level has tables and nice seating if youre the type of douchebag that gets table service.

Worst thing - as many have already stated - is the location. I wouldn't walk there alone for sure. I'm always with one or two buddies at these shows and we usually take the risk and park in the ghetto blocks surrounding the club. Been there probably 4 times with no problems yet, but I always have a nervous feeling in the back of my mind. Your other alternatives are paying for parking, which is just a ripoff and you get crammed into whatever little crevice they can find to put cars - I really dont think many of the parking 'areas' were intended to hold cars lol. Of course you could take metro, but I think the nearest stop is like 12-15 blocks away...

Drinks are crazy expensive - no surprise there - but it'd be nice if they'd do some before-midnight specials or something like other places do...

Overall this place is ok I guess. Physically very good venue but hampered by horrible location and, Im sad to say, a general vibe of greed going on, particularly with parking, drinks and the ticket prices
