Parking can be a nightmare, so I suggest using ride-sharing apps if you can. I tried to drive and ended up walking a bit because spots were tight.

If you wanna grab drinks hit the bar before the show. The lines get insane once the music starts. Trust me I learned the hard way and ended up missing part of the opener.

I recommend checking their website for any local discount codes for tickets. I found one that saved me a few bucks, and it made the night even better!

If you plan to catch a performance, get your tickets in advance. I waited and ended up missing out on a sold-out show that everyone raved about!

I think arriving around 30 mins before a show starts is perfect. You get a good seat selection and some time to soak in the atmosphere!

I think the bar prices aren't too bad, but you might want to grab some drinks before the show to save a few bucks—water is free at the venue!

I recommend checking the schedule online first. Some shows can sell out quick, and you'd wanna grab your tickets before they vanish!

I had a great time, but the acoustics can be hit or miss depending on the band. I suggest checking if the artists are known for their live sound first.

If you're going to drink, I suggest pre-gaming at a local bar. They usually have happy hours, so you save money before the show.

I think it’s best to park at a nearby garage rather than on the street. I parked on the street and ended up with a ticket! Parking is easier in a lot.

I found the acoustics really good, but I suggest avoiding the back rows if you can. The sound is way better up closer to the stage.

My advice is to bring cash for merch! Some vendors only accept cash, and you don't want to miss out on that cool band tee.

I thought parking was going to be a nightmare, but I found a lot a few blocks away that was pretty affordable. Just be ready for a short walk, but it's good exercise!

I suggest arriving around 6 PM for a concert. The lines can get super long, and it's nice to find a good spot up front or at least get settled before the show starts.

Plan to arrive around 6:30 PM for an evening show. The lines get long, and you don’t want to miss the opening acts! I learned this the hard way when I nearly missed my favorite artist's first song

Grab dinner at the café before the show. The food was way better than I expected and saved me a trip elsewhere. Plus, it’s nice to chill with some good grub before the music!

I suggest grabbing dinner at a nearby restaurant before the show. There are some great spots just a short walk away, and it saves you the hassle of trying to eat right before the event.

My advice is to get your tickets in advance! The line can get super long, and some shows sell out fast. Better safe than sorry, right?

I recommend checking their schedule ahead of time for live music. Some bands can draw a crowd, and it’s better to know who's playing before you go!

I think the sound quality is great, but I noticed the seating can be a bit cramped at busy shows. Just be prepared to share your space!

I suggest arriving around 6:30 PM if you want a good spot for the show. The place fills up quick, especially on weekends!

I recommend avoiding the peak hours if possible. We went around 10:30 PM and it took forever to get drinks. So plan for a little wait!
