Great layed back place to see a show. Venue is spacious compared to most places on 4th or Congress

Love this place. With the stage where it is there are only a few bad spots in the place. Small and intimate. I will be back next time a smaller name or forgotten bad plays here again.

Its functional, they have where you can sit for those who want to just relax and enjoy the music and a dance floor for those who love to dance. They sell alcohol also for those that enjoy a drink. The stage has its own place for live music.

191 is an intimate venue with a great vibe. Easy access, awesome staff. If you see an artist on the bill go see the. Take a chance on someone new, or a new style of music. Cant go wrong at 191!!!!!

Small music venue just south of the tracks. Nice open space with old church pews lining the walls for all the wall flowers. Has a bar, but not a very big one. I recommend going elsewhere if all you want is some good drinks.

Great place for small local artists. The concert atmosphere is absolutely amazing! I have been here multiple time, and would love to go again!

It is a neat venue. Long, with good acoustics. It WAS funny to see all the Snowbirds move toward the stage when a train went by, thinking the show had started.

First time at this venue to see Miyavi. Its on the smaller side compared to venues in Phoenix, but it made the show extremely intimate and special. Drinks were also very reasonably priced.

Great little venue. Overpriced drinks, as per the usual with any show. I do like the church pews along the walls. The place is pretty clean, for the most part. Friendly and helpful staff. No slanted floor that kills your lower back. Could use a little more decorative touches inside. Ladders and other equipment sitting near the front door wasnt very attractive.

Great venue for music! I saw the band sir block here with a couple other bands and it was absolutely wonderful I hope they booked them again! Its big enough to accommodate a large crowd but still intimate and they have a bar so you can get drinks if you feel like it!

Great ticket prices, good location, nice lot you can use for events. The venue itself is not huge, if the show sells out be aware that it will be very full. There is seating along the wall with no guaranteed good view once the show starts. Good sound quality and staff is good. Photos from KKB sold out show in 21+ area.

The audio tech said I needed to give her space and I was like what? So we left Maoli early. Maybe she should concentrate on her job and maybe there wouldnt be technical difficulties. Novice.

Went to Ward Davis show, overall great show, venue was very clean, intimate setting. 1st time Ive been and I will look for more reasons to go back. Close enough to free lots under tracks so it wasnt highway robbery to see a show. Beer selection was good, would like to see more local stuff, but overall happy with selection.Sound was ok, except a weird buzzing noise from Wards keyboard. Not sure if it was just issue with his board, because everything else sounded great. Wasnt over loud, like some shows Ive seen in Club Congress or the club in Tempe I cant think of off the top of my head where it seems like they dont set the volume for the club so if you dont have ear plugs you cant sleep the tinnitus is so bad.

It was fine. How they split the room for drinking age vs not was a bit awkward, and it wasnt super obvious.

Love this place for more intimate musical acts. Good acoustics and a great bar. Plenty of parking nearby plus a very short walk to buses and light rail.

Review №23

The venue is much smaller than other concerts Ive gone to, but its also in Tucson. It was quite cool inside, even though there were lots of people and the daily high was 106°. They apparently dont offer parking, even though there is a large lot next to the building. There are posted NO PARKING signs, but be real. No parking when you sell tickets for a concert? Include the parking in the ticket.

Review №25

I went and saw a band I had never heard of before, to take a road trip out of the valley and hit Tucson.The show was sold out, and it was pretty hot inside of the venue with the amount of bodies inside, poor air flow...The sound quality was pretty good, speaker was buzzing intermittently. Lighting and effects were great. Didnt have any issues with the place as a whole, I had a decent time. Thanks again!

Small little venue but cozy inside. Great for small concerts or bands and not far from downtown Tucson.

Review №29

This place has great sound, view, ventilation, and lighting. Theres a paid parking lot outside the building for 5 bucks. They sell alcoholic beverages at reasonable prices in a designated area. Bathrooms are well-maintained. Not many places to sit down, so expect to enjoy the acts standing up.

They get some great bands here. Prices for drinks are pretty good too. I dont think they have any food. Be prepared to stand the entire time though because there arent many places to sit.

Review №40

An okay place for local music. Its a bit small and crowded and the dance floor is often split down the middle between drinkers and non drinkers so it isnt the best place if you have a diverse party. My review is only a 3 as I personally had a bad experience with John but overall a decent place if you prefer a place that isnt a wild nightclub but is also fun. Would suggest taking an uber or lyft as parking in this area is tight and traffic is usually bumper to bumper.

First time there, never really noticed it before. Drinks are a fair price, its a pretty good size inside too. I could see this place becoming the new Rock. Everyone working was super nice too.

Review №43

Ive seen many a shows here and have always been floored by the hospitality of the staff. They genuinely want people to enjoy the shows and its very apparent. I love the paint in the bathrooms and the wooden floors throughout the venue really make it feel homey and down to Tucson.

Place is nice. Fast & efficient staff food very good. The reason for 4 stars is theres no parking there. You have to find parking somewhere on the street.

Review №46

Tiny venue, which is awesome. They split the 21+ from the underage which leaves half the stage very close to the act. Ton of fun

The concert was great! The venue is shabby, the drinks are terrible. (And I mean Seriously terrible.) No security between the stage and the audience.

Intimate little place by the tracks downtown. Perfect place to rock. Looks like a dump outside but the inside is cozy and a great place to see a show. Tommy Castro rocked

Review №61

I saw a Murs and Locksmith show here and they rocked it! The show area is spacious. The stage is elevated approximately 3 feet off of the floor. If youre short in stature, try to move to the front before showtime. The soundman and sound system bangs. Good times!

Review №62

I had never heard of this venue till Allen Stone stopped in on his tour. Not sure about the normal lineups they have but they brought Nick Waterhouse too. Its small but for live music it comes across as intimate. Everywhere feels close to the stage. They had good drink prices and a decent selection to choose from. Im impressed. Ill be back if they keep bringing in this top tier talent because their is nothing wanting for this venue. Even good food spots surround the place (checkout Reilly). 191 Tool is a good small venue for live music.

I saw Car Seat Headrest a few months ago and they rocked this place to pieces. That said, I absolutely think their show could have been better with a better sound system (or sound engineer) and for the love of god, get some air flow in that place!!

Thought it was a fun club! Their doorman or security were just awesome and great for me especially being that Im in a wheelchair they sectioned off an area for me and my husband and my sister-in-law that all went to the young Dubliners show. the show was awesome where we were was awesome so I cant thank them enough!!

Good venue. Beer selection is not the best but it is a bigger venue so it happens. Tucson needs to hold onto its venues. They are seamingly disappearing quickly

Review №79

Saw a small concert here. I liked the vibe, almost like a fun dive bar feeling. The space itself isnt very well laid out for concerts though. It is a long building and getting near the stage was quite difficult. Especially if you wanted a drink. The space was separated for 21 and up, and then an all ages section. The 21 and up section was further from the stage which was disappointing. I was surprised that at such a small venue the restrooms were quite spacious. The ticket taker, security staff, and bartenders were all quite nice.

This places has surely upgraded since I last came here! I recently went to see Tennis and it was amazing! Great views, great beer prices, and intimate (small) enough to enjoy the show no matter where you are standing.

This would be a great dive bar... if it had proper bar.. If you dont have something nice to say... ... It has potential.

Review №88

This is one of my favorite music venues in Tucson because of its size. Its the perfect place to see bands in a spacious area that still feels intimate. They have done a great job of remodeling the interior. Bookings have also been great, as the Tucson music scene grows and we start getting more bands passing through on west coast tours. They are part of the Rialto Theater Foundation. You can rent the space for private events (highly recommend it if youre seeking a venue) and the staff that handles that is very professional.

Review №97

Great place. Enough room for small shows. Clean bathrooms. The bar needs to moved, but they serve cold suds. Thats what is important.They allow in and outs. Probably due to a lack of smoking area. This works out for me. I go get some fresh air or drop my merch off to my car.

ETID and Turnstile were absolutely fantastic last night. Such a great show at a venue Ive never been to and the staff couldnt have been more nice and accommodating. 191 toole has a great bar selection and pricing. PA system was pretty good from the center of the bar area. Definitely will be back for more shows!
