This venue is all about the promoter. They book national touring and a lot of thrasher shows. It can be a great place if you have a good crowd. The sound guys were spot on each time i played.

Pretty good place. i've played there with my old band a few times and i did a couple solo acoustic shows there as well. it's a great venue as long as you get one of the good sound guys when you're there. one time i played there it didnt go over too well. sound guy screwed up everything.

I believe this is a popular place with the under-21 crowd, especially rock, indie rock, punk, metal.
Dislcosure: I have not played there. However, if you're from out of town and you haven't heard of this place, beware:
- Afton entertainment has been known to book this club. Avoid them at all costs, they are a pay-to-play scheme.
- Mike Thrasher Presents booked this venue for years and became partners with the owners. He later sued them for spending tons of the business' money on their own family's stuff.
- This is one of the local houses that will commonly put six bands on a bill, sell beer to the amassed friend-bases of the six bands, and let the bands split what's left of the door after they cover their own costs. This is mostly true on weeknights.
