The online system double booked everyone's seats. So instead of two tables away from stage on first floor, we were upstairs at a table with no view of stage or even the poor quality monitors. On a plus side, the bar tenders were great and drinks were reasonable for the area

Horribly ran venue. We were told doors at 7, opener at 8, main act at 10. We get there at 8:30, main act is 1/2 way through her set, the substitute main act goes on at 9, fully wrapped by 9:30 bc a rave was coming in at 10. Then we have to go upstairs to watch the rest of the show on low quality tvs. Communication can be so simple when done right but yet here we are. Bartenders were amazing. Not sure how they don’t charge different prices for upper level and lower? Make sure you know to arrive early and don’t trust what’s posted for timing online.

Went and saw Isaac Butterfield and had a fantastic time. I hate going to new places, but the staff was friendly, welcoming, and explained everything so we felt right at home. The venue was intimate but not overcrowded and the service was attentive without disrupting the show. We will absolutely be back!

Hi Hola
I recently attended a Bingo Loco, and while the event itself was a blast, the venue itself had a few drawbacks. The dim lighting, especially on the second floor, made it difficult to see and had to use my flashlight on my phone to participate. The narrow, dimly lit staircase was another concern, especially for those who might have been enjoying a few drinks. Another elderly women was also complaining about this as well as we both walked down the stairs together. The bathroom situation was also a bit inconvenient, with only two stalls available for women. Additionally, the venue felt quite freezing, even though the weather outside wasn't particularly frigid. Despite these shortcomings, the overall atmosphere was lively, and the Bingo Loco experience itself was enjoyable. If the venue could improve the lighting, heating, and bathroom facilities, it could truly elevate the experience for future events. Tips for Improvement: * Brighten Up the Space: Improve the lighting, especially on the second floor, to enhance visibility. * Warm Up the Venue: Consider adjusting the heating system to provide a more comfortable environment. * Expand Bathroom Facilities: Increase the number of women's restrooms to avoid long lines. * Staircase Concerns: Upgrade the lighting and handrails on the stairs to make them safer and more accessible.
