Good place to see a show. Yes, it's hot as hell and dusty outside in summer but it's a fun venue. The area around here has really been cleaned up in recent years, which I suppose is good for safety and tourism but not so good for "classic Austin." In my opinion the grittiness was part of the scene and I do miss it a bit. No matter what the show this place is always packed but if you feel like you need some space, you can always stand further back where the crowd thins out. I've been coming here for shows since I was 12, and over ten years later, it's still a fun place
