Phoenix New TimesMarch 4, 2013The Underground hosts the most hard rock acts, & can get so humid with the pulse of dueling guitars and growls, it's a wonder the graffiti scrawled across the concrete walls hasn't melted off by now. Read more

Morgan FernandezAugust 7, 2013I really like this venue. Alot of complaints from others about it being too stuffy inside for other concerts but it was fine tonight. Not hot or stuffy at all.
Upvote2Downvote- Ventrice SykesNovember 7, 2013For all those who complain it's to hot there are a lot of bodies in there during a concert so this happens. Other than that this place is awesome and they spray you down afterwards haUpvoteDownvote

Drew PociaskFebruary 16, 2013A small but historic venue here in Arizona. Definitely worth seeing a performance at if one of your favorite bands schedules a show there.UpvoteDownvote
Garrett MayNovember 11, 2010one of the most legendary venues in az. bands such as blink 182, something corporate, etc... have played @ this venue. great sound and floor size. stage just short enough for an intimate setting.Upvote5Downvote
Come by tomorrow night and also the following evening for a night of heavy metal and rock and roll by myself with Asking Alexandria and a bunch of our friends.Upvote5Downvote- Zach BooherApril 14, 2011Another good standing room venue. Be sure to have a plan for after the show; security doesn't let you stick around for very long once the show is over, especially not in the alley behind the venue.UpvoteDownvote
Lol of you're complaining about how hot its gets inside and that you feel like fainting. That shirt happens no matter where you go.Upvote5Downvote
Morgan ChanFebruary 15, 2013I love the Nile, but the Underground venue is the worst. Booking popular bands for the Underground is a huge mistake: heat, cramped, low ceiling, etc.UpvoteDownvote
Easy ESeptember 5, 2012Just informed that one must pay for the privilege of reentry. Recommend you try any other option before seeing a show here. I downgrade my previous opinion to FAILUpvoteDownvote
Don't forget to dress in your summer gear as it's hotter than hell down here! Also, do not wear make-up because you will eventually sweat it off & have wasted your time.UpvoteDownvote
DorothyOctober 28, 2013get here early, Mesa has a sound ordinance so shows usually start/end early.UpvoteDownvote
Ash HoffmanMarch 16, 2012Stand on stage left! It's close to the stage and near where the bands chill.Upvote2Downvote

I was on dateline here at a rave called "Lucky #@%$ happens" DRP!UpvoteDownvote
Elizabeth HernandezJuly 6, 2013It is a furnace in there. Maybe if they turn on the ac more people would come.UpvoteDownvote
Nate HughesApril 20, 2013It's horrible if there are two bands playing at the same time.UpvoteDownvote
Marisa S.October 15, 2012Nothing good I can possibly say about this venue. I don't know why I support this place. Typically wont come unless guest listed. Bands should never book shows here.UpvoteDownvote
Hot as hell downstairs... needs more air!UpvoteDownvote
Amanda FrearMay 5, 2011do not come here if you're claustrophobic, you can barely breathe. Good bands play here but its almost always packed tight.UpvoteDownvote
- Easy ESeptember 5, 2012Been here less than 10 min, not impressed. No sense of place, why does a band book here?UpvoteDownvote
Stephanie BondyOctober 31, 2010the worst venue i've been to in AZ. the sound is good but it is hotter than hell inside and hard to keep from fainting.UpvoteDownvote

"Possibly the best music venue I've been to in AZ in terms of all-ages access, and I especially like that the under 21 section is right in front of the stage."
