Flights is fantastic. Was there for both shows they had this weekend, as I had friends playing both nights. Place was packed, sound was awesome, and both of my friends said they were paid VERY well with ZERO room fees taken out, like many Seattle clubs. It's not hard to surmise that the bad reviews are from lousy bands who either can't get booked, or get booked and don't draw, thus make little money. Typcial. Lame bands blame the venue, or the sound, or the promoter. Friday they had 3 original bands and 100 people in the place. Saturday was 2 killer Tribute bands with 200 people in there.

Enjoyed the bar staff, sound guy and door person. Unfortunately they work for the worst promoter in Seattle. Do a quick google search for the fraud he's been involved in. Didn't do a single thing for promotion then had the nerve to complain about attendance. We're a fairly established band with large draws in Seattle. We'll never play here again, nor will we ever frequent this establishment again. Do yourself a favor and avoid it at all costs.

Big PA and friendly staff. Great lighting. They do favor multi-band shows so you end up splitting the door. They promote pretty well. Kind of a metal crowd, it seems. Doorman is solid and honest.
