I've never heard about the $185 fee. We've played here several times in the last few years.
The sound has really gotten worse. It's piercingly, annoying loud, even when barely anyone is in the room. The drummer's monitor wedge was just static.
There's no built in crowd. I've seen them do tip jar and I've seen them do a door charge. The backline is about average. Seen some wear & tear, but functional. We used to really enjoy playing this venue, but when people are leaving because it's too loud, it really detracts from the fun factor of a playing a show.
