Cozy Venue, Average Drinks, Loud Music
My experience at this cozy venue was mixed. The drinks were average and priced at $15. A notable inconvenience was the single bathroom for women. The view from above was neat, though I wished the performers were on the actual stage instead of a bunch of half-naked dudes. The noise level was very loud, making it hard to hear.

Great Venue for Local and Bigger Artists
My experience at this venue has been consistently good over the years. It's a small venue, but it excels at supporting local events and showcasing bigger artists in a more intimate setting compared to larger venues nearby. The food is good, and the staff are typically friendly and helpful. What truly stands out are the multiple rooms and the second-story balcony, which offers great views of the stage. I've attended countless events here and almost always have a good time.

Best 18+ Club Experience
I didn't eat anything, so I can't say much about the food. However, I can confidently say this is the best 18 and up club I've ever been to. While the entrance fee is pricey, and there's an additional charge for coats and bags, it's well worth it. I visited on a random Sunday night and the place was packed with 800 to 1000 people, creating a good vibe.

Expensive and Disappointing Experience
My experience at this restaurant was an absolute scam. Despite there being no one in the club, I was charged $30. If I could give it 0 stars, I would. This was an absolute regret, the worst $30 I’ve ever spent. The music was horrible as well.

Great Food, Extremely Loud Venue
My experience at this venue was centered around the food, which was excellent with a score of 5. However, the atmosphere was significantly impacted by the noise level, described as 'Very loud, hard to hear'. While the venue is nice, I'd recommend bringing earplugs if you plan on dancing due to the acoustics and extremely loud music. The vegetarian offerings were clearly labeled, making it somewhat recommendable for vegetarians. Parking was difficult to find, with paid street parking available. The price per person is in the $50–100 range.

Good experience, left alone
Had a good time. People do their thing and leave you alone for the most part. I'd go back.

Great Spot, Reminds Me of the Past
My experience at this restaurant was quite positive. It's a great spot that brought back memories of the Omni from years ago, particularly with its unique balcony design wrapping around the back and sides. This architectural feature contributed to a pleasant atmosphere.

Long-time patron's nostalgic experience
I've been going to this restaurant for over 30 years. Back in the 80s, it was a popular dance club. My experience has spanned decades, witnessing its evolution from a vibrant club scene to its current form. The atmosphere is still a draw, and it's great that they offer live music for special events. While the noise level can be loud, it's still possible to have a conversation.

Great Venue for Pizza and Shows!
My experience at this restaurant was fantastic! We came for the pizza and ended up staying for the show. The venue itself has a great layout and provides good vibes, especially for concerts. They also offer specialty drinks and boast a great sound system. Overall, a wonderful experience.
