Brad ZickafooseOctober 23, 2014One of the best small music venues in the US. Make friends with someone who has VIP passes for special access to the VIP bar and viewing area on the second floor. Hot tub in the backstage artist area.- Krystle JonesMarch 14, 2013Tonight was Absolutely Amazing!!! Deftones Rocked it out!! * First time ever seeing them live and I Loved it! * : ) Great Job Guys you were better than I imagined and loved the sense of humor; )
Dawn FinnNovember 25, 2017And very quaint place I like them not to big wish there was more cheers workers were a great great service
LizMay 29, 2013Packed in like sardines but still a really cool venue that attracts a lot of great bands
- Krystle JonesMarch 14, 2013Oh and the second view on the balcony was pretty awesome too. I love that they have that and the back opened area for smoking!
Get there early for the best spot; the opening acts are nearly always decent and great for finding new music!
Matthew PaitJanuary 22, 2015Up and coming bands, 90's bands touring again, amazing cover/tribute bands. Decent drink prices for a "venue."
Great intimate venue! One of the best in Hampton Roads!
Meghan HawleyFebruary 6, 2013Awesome venue for concerts. Cheap tickets and awesome view from the second floor.
Norfolk VirginiaNovember 30, 2011Arrive early for an evening show and have dinner at one of the many establishments on Granby Street or in MacArthur Mall!
Tom TaylorFebruary 3, 2013Awesome Venue! Attracts good bands. MacAuther Center is a nice place to wait for concerts.
Lillith BlackJuly 14, 2013Love the venue. But the staff are mostly dicks. They barged in on my friend while they where using a toilet.
Andrew Dunlap Jr.October 24, 2012Great venue, security was really tight on moshing and crowd surfing. Also, drinks are pretty pricey.

Kelly PorterSeptember 19, 2019Definitely not a place for those who can’t appreciate their music loud

Marcus JacksonOctober 31, 2010I'd love a place to sit for these weak warm-ups!! Only complaint though..I love a good beat!
AmeerahNovember 20, 2013No seats.. the hip-hop concerts are more like appearances, so don't expect them to be on time.
Jeremy BeckMarch 10, 2010Head to Havana afterward for an awesome late night menu and the best mojitos around.
