点评:I had a great chat with one of the workers while waiting in line for the doors to open. Super friendly with a bit of laissez-faire – nothing seemed to bother him. He kept working as he answered numerous questions. Cheerful, unphased, efficient.
A small older venue (opened 1928) with only 600 seats with drinks and a bit of bar food offered for two hours prior to the show. I had wine and pretzel bites – all I needed pre-music. There are also pizzas, wraps, hummus, cookies and a few other snacks.
It felt like I was surrounded by a lot of regular guests. Not being from here, I still felt right at home and it was easy to talk to anyone. Everyone was very friendly.
The seats could use restuffing – mine had a great hole in the middle (under the fabric) so it was uncomfortable but I understand that most of these places live on a shoestring. The place is sparse in general, not too many decorations to take away from the show we come to see here.
The sound was good – I was on the balcony – first row. Price was very fair since you don’t buy a ticket through the big ticketing agencies that gouges you (you save a bit more if you buy directly at the theater’s ticket booth). We need to support these small places so people on fixed budgets like me can still enjoy (while supporting) music that is affordable. (In the $30-$35 range when I went).
The whole show lasted about 2.5 hours – very decent. There was merchandise for sale near the eating/bar area. Bathrooms near the bar area and some upstairs as well. (I’ve seen reviews claiming there were no restrooms downstairs, that is not correct).
If you arrive early enough you can get free street parking in the nearby residential area. It is rather safe. After 7pm you can park at a nearby bank (stated on their website under FAQ).
Good venue overall, nice neighborhood as well. Would happily return should I be in the area again.
翻译:在排队等开门的时候,我和一位工作人员聊得很开心。他非常友好,又带着一丝随和——似乎什么都让他感到困扰。他一边工作一边回答着各种问题。他很开朗,泰然自若,效率很高。
这家小型老场馆(1928年开业)只有600个座位,演出前两个小时提供饮料和一些酒吧小吃。我喝了葡萄酒和椒盐脆饼——演出前我只需要这些。这里还有披萨、卷饼、鹰嘴豆泥、饼干和其他一些小吃。
感觉就像周围都是常客。虽然不是本地人,但我感觉就像在家一样,很容易和任何人交谈。每个人都很友好。
座位需要重新填充——我的座位中间(布料下面)有个大洞,坐起来很不舒服,但我明白大多数这类场所的运营成本都很低。总的来说,这里很简朴,没有太多装饰,不会影响我们来这里观看演出的效果。
音响效果很好——我坐在楼厅第一排。价格很公道,因为你不用通过那些敲诈你的大型票务代理机构买票(如果你直接在剧院售票处买票,可以省点钱)。我们需要支持这些小地方,让像我这样预算有限的人也能享受(同时也支持)价格实惠的音乐。(我去的时候票价在30到35美元之间)。
整场演出持续了大约2.5个小时——非常不错。餐饮/酒吧区附近有周边商品出售。酒吧区附近和楼上也有一些洗手间。(我看到一些评论说楼下没有洗手间,这是不对的)。
如果你到得够早,可以在附近的住宅区找到免费的路边停车位。那里相当安全。晚上7点以后,你可以把车停在附近的一家银行(银行网站常见问题解答中有说明)。
总体来说,场地不错,周边环境也很好。如果我再来这个地区,我很乐意再来。
