This place is awful, first of if your under 21 you are forced to pay 5$ for a drink ticket to get inside, if your going for a concert you can’t even get the drink because you will lose your spot. The place lets it’s friends open for whoever is preforming. The people who you are forced to listen to before the person you actually paid to go watch are horrible. They were being super rude to the audience, saying stuff like “if y’all don’t make some noise for us, the artist you actually want to see won’t come out” or “we will make you wait longer if you don’t get excited”. I waited two and a half hours until the artist I paid for came out!! Also it was winter and the stage area was super hot

Small venue, great place to see live music

This used to be my favorite venue on earth, but after my last few visits and the experiences my friends have had performing there, I will actively avoid this place. Not allowing band members backstage because they aren’t 21 when they are performing and making YOU money (there isn’t a bad back there, don’t see a problem), staff following people into the bathroom, imposing ridiculous rules that completely ruined our night. Heard it’s under new management, so maybe that’s why it has changed so much. Sad. Hopefully something changes.

I was at the MC Chris show on 5/28/18 and it was great! Although the crowd was small and that lead to a payment dispute between the owners, but that didnt affect me at all. Would come again. Good sound and ambience

This is a nice place to relax and shake

Went there for the first time to the Bas concert... its alright... could improve alot more, but overall is a nice little venue.

I bought my daughter tickets to a concert there. When she got there, they charged her $5 because she was under 21. They wouldn’t accept her ticket til she paid. This is outrageous and illegal! After reporting this practice the management sent me a letter berating me and telling me they would send me the $5 back if I would go get educated! Hahaha what a bunch of hacks. Screw them

This place is a nightmare. It deserves zero stars. The bathrooms are always beyond disgusting. The staff is rude and sometimes mean. The stage area is always ridiculously hot, no matter the season. And the drinks are over priced and water-downed. If you think that its the only place to see the show you want, I suggest driving somewhere out of reach, because its worth the effort.

Nice venue, friendly professional, easy to work with staff!

If I could give zero stars I absolutely would. The management is completely rude to performers.

I saw Pvris here, and they were fantastic! And as far as the venue its self goes, its incredible! The bar tender was very friendly and quick. And the rest of the staff i interacted with was very helpful and friendly! The size of the venue is perfect for concerts, theres no bad veiws and nothing to block veiws. Sound quality was also excellent! I definitely recommend for concerts!

Performers and music lovers alike, avoid this venue at all costs. They DO NOT pay touring acts, and double-dip charging customers for show entrance when theyve already bought tickets. Shady business practices like this are the benchmark of a short-lived venue.

Good music, good sightings and sound system

Its small, hot a little stinky. Not the best concert venue but the acoustics were good.

Impressive energy on a Tuesday with a live performance by the infamous Alkaholiks. Ill be back!

Decent bar. They get pretty good musical acts coming through.

Great venue for live music. Very intimate setting.

No seating really! Came to see PJ Morton.

Degenerates. Fools. Dont go. No matter what.

Terrible hours and almost never worth the price of the cover charge. Should be velvet lames

Bartender charged me for two extra drinks that i didnt order, and claimed it was too late to reverse the charge. BS. Check your receipts!

They shaft performers out their pay, and constantly look for ways to rip off customers. Utter craphole.

Cool place for underages even though its quite small

Nice place if you love good music

Small venue with a lot of energy, good crowd, great bands. Right in the heart of Santa Barbara.

Didn’t pay their boomed artist

Bought tickets to a show drove from Texas and I got an email an hour before show time that it was canceled & only got the service fee refunded. Highly disappointing.

They screwed over MC Chris

Best place for live music.

Waffle smores, the best.

Apparently this joint doesnt like to pay its performers.

Doesn’t promote shows, then doesn’t pay the bands/artists.

Good +18 club

Didnt even pay MC Chris for performing

Bad times had by all.

Garbage venue, with terrible management.

Ok

Incredibly rude security, charged me extra at the door for being UNDER 21, accused me of underage drinking.

Great shows and venue

One of the best music venues on State St

Great live music, however its kind of smelly

Come see Ohana Collective tonight

First show in Cali!!! #NWeGRRRD
