I was really impressed by the attentiveness of the security team. They kept an eye on everyone and would offer water to people that looked like they weren't feeling too well. Parking was a bit of a pain, but not too bad. Of course, the bands did an incredible job. Overall had a great experience!
Absolute great venue for a concert. I would just recommend better security because once you’re through the detectors people still have access to those in line next to the little fence thing. Also, please fix and clean all the restrooms. I didn’t try the food or drinks so I can’t speak to that but I appreciated how nicely ventilated // cool it was and that they had FREE water stations and a large ADA section. One more HUGE plus was that their parking was free :)
we came for the Living Tombstone Concert on 10/19/2025 and were turned away at the door along with a good amount of people in line because our tickets were bought from SeatGeek and apparently the venue only took Ticketmaster. Caused a great deal of confusion as more and more people kept getting kicked out of line and trying to figure out what was going on. It is quite sad because we wanted to see the living tombstone perform.
The Phantogram concert was not over crowded. The acoustics were great. The bar drinks and service were excellent as well. The restrooms were clean. The staff took the time to hand out cups of water to the concert goers, which was much appreciated and very respectful. Would highly recommend attending an event here.
This was my first time going to Emo's. I went for the '90s r&b hip hop dance party. I had an awesome time. I feel the dance floor was a decent size. I like how they had an outdoors as well. The only thing I didn't like was it was hard to find parking unless you part in the parking lot and it was $10 an hour. So if you're staying for 3 hours you're paying $30 just for parking.
