Excellent venue, small, friendly staff, great outside patio area that serves food and cocktails, seats are large and comfortable, great views from any seat location.. Saw Robin Trower live in 1st row, upclose and personal, plenty of parking just steps from the venue.. I'll definitely return for future entertainment.. Big AlB Santee Ca ..
Great venue, not too loud and every seat has a view. Did I mention seats? No more standing in the mosh pit! Saw the Led Zeppelin cover band Zosa!
Great location, the only issue I have is the seats are a little small. I saw the Brian Wilson Band there ,had some issues with stage lighting (there was none) when the concert started.Other than that I would recommend 😉
Great venue. Big enough to be fun and lively yet small enough to be intimate. No bads seats!
Went to see Alicia Villarreal, it was a nice spacious venue. Seats were comfy and being the 5th row is amazing, even the back too seats had a good view of the whole show. Staff was attentive to me and very friendly.
