The Basement

Great venue to see the band up close. Saw Ben Kweller. Friendly staff. There are metal detectors and security to go thru-check the website. Expensive drinks but friendly bar keeps. You can get Mikey's Pizza through the window, inside.

Went to a Christian concert that was absolutely amazing. The spirit of God changed the whole atmosphere in that place. I love that they welcome all genres. It was wonderful worshipping outside a church setting. God is definitely everywhere. Gave 4 stars because of the limited seating and at times had difficulty seeing the stage.

I recently visited The Basement for the first time and the experience was unforgettable because of the featured performers and the crowd. The is no seating near the stage, but near the stage is the best view. There is limited seating. The opening act was Columbus’ own the beautiful & talented Ms. N’Shai Iman. The headliner the one and only Daley. Dimmer than normal lighting. Decent sound. Cement floors near stage. Long bar. Decent drinks. Psychedelic decor. Nearby parking for a fee.

Very small, intimate venue. There were less than 50 people at the show, one bartender, and a few staff members. The staff were courteous, the venue and bathrooms were clean. Would definitely go again! Photos attached were from standing front row in the pit.

Spectacular small venue! This is great experience! Staff is really friendly and the space is great! Will definitely visit again! Keep bringing in the great talent! This is a hidden gem in Cbus for sure.

My first concert was here. It was pretty great mostly because it was a band that I particularly enjoyed. But it was sweet because tickets were only like 10$ for the band I was seeing. Pretty alright all things considered for a group I enjoy. Didnt really get any drinks so I can't say much to the bar but it seemed pretty meh. This is an alright venue. Definitely a cheap venue for seeing music groups.

Really cool venue in an unassuming location. It’s not big and it’s standing-room-only, but the sound is great and the vibes are fun. Great for smaller bands and intimate concerts.

Perfect lil venue to see your favorite artist perform up close and personal I seen Flyleaf there several times in the past.

It's been years since I had been to the basement and I have to say, I was pleasantly surprised by the sound quality. It used to be pretty brutal but it seems they have upgraded and I had no issues hearing anything at the show I attended. All of the staff we encountered at the door and at the bar were friendly. The good part about the venue itself is that it can only fit about 300 people. It's basically a bar with a stage, so catching any act here is always fun since you can be so close and actually see. They also have seating against the wall which is nice if you want to sit and take a break or just hang out. However, the ambiance isn't exactly nice. It's a basement bar and the bathrooms are what you would expect from a basement bar... definitely not the greatest. It was also super hot/stuffy on my recent visit which can make it especially brutal if it is a sold out show. Overall it's a decent place to catch a show thiugh. There are better places and there are worse.

i have been to close to 150 shows and this is the worst concert venue i've ever been to. the sounds fine, but that doesn't matter when most people can't see the stage because of the weird layout and Giant pillars blocking the view. the show i went to was sold out, and more people couldn't see than could. everyone around me was complaining and struggling to see. everyone there was super nice and it's nothing against them, but they need to figure out their logistics because it was such a disappointment to fight to see for almost 3 hours

The Basement is hands-down the worst venue I've paid to see a show at. It's borderline unethical to sell 300 tickets to this space. The "stage" is actually below floor level; there's space for 30-40 people directly in front, and every other view is either partially or fully obstructed. If you don't feel confident you'll be one if the first 30 people through the door, don't even bother buying a ticket.

Went to see krash on Saturday. The venue was ok, but they insisted on cutting mics right at 11 which kinda sucked but the show was dope

A top tier "rock" venue (quotes because, definitely suitable for all styles). I've both played this venue and attended shows here and loved it both ways. The green room is spacious and relaxing, the bar is wide and welcoming, there is adequate seating for waiting around by the bar and lining the inside of the venue. The standing room configuration is right for about 300 heads. Top of the line sound and engineering. Nothing feels quite as good as hearing the drummers sound check as the kick reverberates through the hall. Whether visiting as a performer or as a patron/fan, you're sure to have a great night.

Horrible I'll drive to Cleveland or Nashville to have a good experience watching my favorite bands.

My ears are still recovering from the show last night (The Kopecky Family and Milo Greene), and I'm still waffling over whether I want to go back for more shows. Parking can be a bit of a bother when other events are also happening in the Arena District (Blue Jackets game last night). I toyed with the idea of parking up in Victorian Village and walking in, but the cold wind convinced me otherwise. As a short person, I try to avoid standing room only venues since it really isn't much fun not being able to see and getting knocked into all night. The Basement is not really a bad venue in that sense. We ended up grabbing a spot right at the railing, which was great since we could see over the audience and taller people could still see over us. Unfortunately, this spot was also right next to the left speaker stack, hence the ringing in my ears presently. Still, it was a good view -- definitely saw sweat droplets being flung across the stage. If we had gotten there any later, I think the experience wouldn't have been as good since we'd be further back in the crowd. As others have noted, the layout is long and narrow -- swapping the stage and bar in the layout would make slightly more sense, but maybe it just wasn't feasible. I didn't partake of the bar or the restroom facilities, so no comments on that. I guess I probably would come back here to see another show, but definitely need to make sure I grab some of that prime railing space. And also bring some ear protection. Also, you can explore the inside of this venue using street-view on Google maps!

Horrible venue. They list their capacity as 300 but only about 20 to 30 people can actually see the stage. There are other local venues like Rumba Cafe and Woodlands Tavern that do a much better job and respect your money spent on tickets. Also, these guys are a little ridiculous with the small purse policy and groping pat downs. I go to a fair amount of shows at various venues and know what is normal and what is excessive. I have been to this venue twice and have had a horrible experience both times. The sight lines in this place are so awful because of the layout that it is a wonder how anyone ever decided to make it a music venue. Respect yourself and your hard earned money and steer clear of this pit. You will not have fun. You will not enjoy yourself. Drinks are also way overpriced.

Well as much as I appreciate the illusion of safety (making me put my fairly small purse in the car while the children at the door pat down every other dude in baggy clothing who walks in the door) the fact that this venue set their thermostat at "7th circle of hell" on a June muggy day is what makes me never want to support them again. I paid good money for this show and now I'll probably have to pay good money for the ambulance when I pass out cause I'm sweating sitting in the back on a bench, can't imagine how much worse I could make this review after standing in the front almost dying. I kind of hope they do get in trouble for someone getting sick cause this cannot be heathy. Dan Campbell please find a better venue next time you come to this area! (But I applaud your push for inclusive bathrooms, please go somewhere else!) Love, a good fan who wants to be able to enjoy the show

Worst venue in Columbus. Period. I would happily take a day off and drive to see a tour in another city than spend 2 minutes in this acoustically inept venue. I am standing here pissed that due to a last minute change in venue I didn't have a chance todo that very thing.

The "Meh. I've experienced better" description for the two-star barometer is EXACTLY how I feel about The Basement. I saw one of my favorite folksy singer/songwriter acts here, and maybe he just wasn't suited to this venue, but the layout of this place makes no sense to me at all. The square footage says this place should be able to accommodate better access to the sound and stage, but alas, it does not. The bar is ample, there are long, soft, worn-in couches for sitting, but a ton of dead space is created away from the stage. The stage and little audience pit are all smashed into a corner. If you want to see your fav band, be prepared to have to push against the crowd and stand all night long. It just seems so unnecessary. Better floor planning would have gone a long way. I don't mind leaving my comfort at the door when there simply aren't alternatives for the setup, but this was not one of those places. Maybe I'm a pampered snob, but it was really difficult to manage my bag, coat, and all that standing. No coat check. First world problems, I know, but still. I saw the same artist in a comparably-sized venue in Akron ( Musica, for those who might know), and that space had several small tables with plenty of seating. There wasn't a bad place to sit/stand in the entire place, and my girlfriends and I could easily sip our vino and swoon while our singer crooned. There was even space for thrashing around, if the genre had required such. In The Basement, if you want to let your legs and knees rest, you'll be stuck along the wall on a bench looking at butts all night.

Okay, Basement, sometimes you have shows that don't seem to ever show up elsewhere. I can't deny that. And you're roomy. I can't deny that. But are you a cool venue? Eh... Sometimes it seems like this place wants to very much make you think it's some bar carved out of a neighborhood basement and run by the hip underground. Dark, plastered in fliers, stencil-graffiti logos- classy. Except none of it is even borderline genuine: you're at the LC Pavilion, another in the long, ever-growing line of corporation-named performance spaces that take the joy of a musical performance and accent it with all the time-honored business practices of baseball stadiums. I've enjoyed a show at the Basement, so I can't write it off entirely. In the end a space is a space is a space and what really matters, or what really should matter, is the quality of talent performing. In that light the Basement succeeds in one thing: not separating the crowd from the performer(s). The stage is low and close to the dance floor- intimate. I'll be back, Basement- if you ever get in another act I'd want to see.

Being an avid concert-goer with an aversion to corporate venues like the one this tiny little club is adjacent to (Lifestyles Communities Pavilion, that is), I spent the better part of two years avoiding this place like the clap. It was easy for a while, but when the Short North stronghold for indie rock known as Little Brother's folded over a year ago, The Basement quickly became the go-to smallish venue for indie bands passing through the Columbus area while touring the midwest. After seeing a handful of punk/emo shows here, The Basement gets my vote as a more-than-decent hole in the wall rock club. To be blunt, the decor here is cheeky at best. In an attempt to perpetuate the feeling that you're witnessing a show in a genuine rock 'n roll basement (a la "That 70's Show", perhaps) the walls that lead back to the merch area are lined with shabby couches that offer the perfect respite from the often chaotic scene that's unfolding near the stage. The old-school TV's behind the bar the serve as ad-hoc closed circuit monitors to watch the action you're missing while you wait in line for a drink are a nice touch. Although it's fair to say that the service usually depends on how crowded and of age the show is, my two cents is that it's definitely slower than average. This is a rock club, of course, so expect to get your face ripped off when it comes to drink prices. The entire Promowest chain that owns The Basement is sponsored by Budweiser, which means Miller products are nowhere to be found. The import and liquor selection is predictable and overpriced, but they do have $1 cans of Natural Light if you're in the mood for reliving your 19th birthday all over again. One thing The Basement that should elicit rave reviews from even an amateur concert-goer is the sound system here. Unlike The Newport, which has eardrum-splitting low end and almost no high end whatsoever, the sound techs here get it right almost every time. I've seen some heinously loud and heavy bands here in my days, and I am consistently impressed by how clear everything sounds. A thrash band I saw here that is known for it's face melting guitar solos over a bed of lumbering bass and down-tuned power chord crunch sounded almost like they did on their album. Hell, I might even go so far as to say they sounded better. The support beams that prop up the venue upstairs can cause visibility issues at times, but weaseling your way to the front for a better view is rarely an issue here. Like I said, The Basement is mostly for smaller bands that have yet to get their big break as MTV reality series background music, so it's usually unheard of for there to be more than 30 people in the audience on any given night. Speaking of the audience, expect to be flanked on all sides by suburban Myspace xSceneCorex kids that take their anger and disdain for their cushy living situation out on their fellow brethren at crowded punk shows here. I'm the kind of person that can handle that sort of thing, but that's only because that was more or less my own reality all but 5 or 6 years ago. Regardless, The Basement is an enjoyable place meet the posse for a round of beers and a night of music from a band on the rise.

So. When you go to a concert, do you want decent sound or a decent view? No no, can't have both. You can only choose one. Go. Yes, I am serious. Ok, you want to flip a coin? Aaaand tonight you get.... view. Next time go with sound. Maybe it'll make a complete experience. As many have described: low ceilings, narrow hallway layout, pit in front of the stage. You can get a nice view anywhere down there, along the railings, or up the stairs between the pit and the bar. But bring your earplugs. And your warble-to-lyrics translator. And it doesn't hurt to know the band's music well enough to know what it's supposed to sound like. On my more recent visit, I did not. New stuff to me (thanks to Sara C. of the 3/20 review). We had that fabulous view, but I spent the next day watching YouTube videos to hear what I missed. "Oh," I thought to myself, "I would have really liked them." The previous time I was at this venue, I spent more time wandering and even made it to the back of the hall. The sound is much clearer back there, but trying to see the band is like trying to keep your eye on one pinpoint of color in a kaleidoscope. Hearing the show from there might even be a social experience, but this is the kind of setup you go into for your friend's local band and a $5 cover. Not a nationally touring act you just spent exorbitant Ticketmaster fees on. So wait, you're telling me I *can* both see and hear a band at a concert? Well, blimey. Guess you've been someplace other than the Basement.

I've only been to the Basement once, but I really did enjoy it. It started out interesting because I was seeing Freelance Whales, while Marylin Manson was playing next door at the LC, and some of his fans were getting confused and getting into our line. I was like LOL guys you're DEFINITELY in the wrong place. So, maybe Promowest could improve its line distinction a bit. Buy anyways, the Basement was great for an intimate show. Hopefully you get in the pit or just outside of it or it would not be a good view at all though. It's a great atmosphere for an indie-ish show.

Phantogram + The Antlers on 4/16/10....truly a beautiful show. Parking is easy, there was no line, and the acoustics were actually stellar for such a small place. It is intersting to me that so many people find this place contrived - I personally find it to be exactly what it tries to be, a dingy basement/bar venue much akin to the Shelter in Detroit. Even the hockey sports on the TVs on the bar reminded me of the Shelter....or perhaps the Magic Stick. One star off for admittedly overselling the show - the place was jammed packed and had it been summer I imagine it would've been kind of gross....and honestly, if there would've been a fire or something I'm rather certain we'd all have died. Then again, I really can't blame them for overselling the the show - it was amazing and I STRONGLY suggest picking up both The Antlers' Hospice and Phantogram's Eyelid Moves.

I can just imagine the planning meetings for this place: "Let's make a small venue with hole in the wall decor to get that gritty bowery street feel and fill it with kids that come out for indie rock." Everything about the basement is very calculated. I am not even sure that the graffiti in the bathrooms is real. The huge give away is the lack of bad smells, urine, and rats. That's the bowery I know from my teen years in NYC. That said, I'm not sure I really care. It is very hard to write an unbiased review of a venue without taking the band into account. Although in this case I can impartially compare the basement to the indoor LC since I saw the same band there in the last few months. The Whigs. Great band, sort of a southern nirvana sound, like someone took kurt cobain and wrapped him up in a chicken waffle with lots of syrup. Sweet. Despite the blatant corporate strategy to be anti-corporate. I would prefer to see a band at the basement over the LC. The drink prices are lower and they have more bottled imports and NO super sized Bud on tap. The acoustics are great for such low ceilings and it is very intimitate yet not crammed. My friends bought two of the last three tickets so the place was pretty much full to capacity but did not feel crowded. So come to the basement to see a great show but don't expect an authentic underground experience. Just listen and drink.

My night at The Basement was pretty brief - I got there just in time to run to the bar and then stand on the side of the stage to watch the headlining act. I wasn't sure why more people weren't standing where I was, we were only about 6 feet away from the band and had a perfect view. I accidentally bypassed Mr. Ticket Taker and Mr. Wristband because of the crowd consuming them and the open lane to their right but responsibly backtracked - I've got nothing to hide! Drink prices were more fair than I expected, because if you've ever been to any of the larger PromoWest venues, you know it's going to cost the same price as a six-pack for one beer, albeit a large beer. It was a large place but there was only so much real estate to see the band because of the long, narrow setup and giant pillars surrounding the stage, so I have no idea what people in the back and by the bar did except stare at their feet and imagine the band in front of them. It was exactly what I expected (it's called The Basement) and I'd be back to see some more up-and-comers. The one negative that stands out is they need at least one more Pay and Park station in the lot behind the arena. The parking lot was probably 1/4 full and there was still a long line at the machine. It was only three bucks so it beat doing the parking garage across the street but it was cold dang it and we didn't want to wait in a line because those dumb machines are dumb slow! (I'm bitter because of years of Pay and Display at OSU).

It is what the name says. It is a basement venue but outstanding. Acoustics were great not what I was expecting. Small but enough room to enjoy yourself to socialize and enjoy some great musicians.

I really like the small intimate stage area of the basement. I saw one of my favorite acts here a couple of weeks ago and I was literally 20 feet from the band. That is something you don't get to experience most other places. However, I felt like the layout is a bit odd. There is a lot of room around the bar area, but then everyone has to squeeze in to be by the stage. Maybe the act I saw was too large for the venue, it seemed like if you weren't there to get a good spot early on, you would be far away, because the set up is long and narrow. Overall, a neat experience to be so close to someone I am a big fan of, but the layout just seems odd.

Went here to see Erica Blinn open for Black Box Revelation. For a small place, it's pretty decent. Yeah, the area by the stage is small. But you can see and hear well from the bar, and there are couches along one wall to relax. The service was good, though the beer selection is meh. The place is what it is: a small bar/music venue.

I went to this place to see the Menzingers concert a few weeks back. The environment was rather fitting to a punk show and reminded me of a divey sort of bar more or less. There were plenty of places to linger, sit, and of course a decent pit area to mosh and partake of ruffian style antics. The bar was a bit lacking though. It had the sort of selection I would expect at a ball game and the prices were pretty bad. The concept of the intimate bar environment as a show venue is great, but the implementation of the actual bar portion of it could use some work. On a positive note though the bar staff was courteous and gave decent enough customer service.

The Basement is part of the PromoWest Live series of venues, this particular venue being the lowest on the totem pole. It's not a bad place by any means, in fact it is quite nice with plenty of room to move around, a decent bar, and it never feels stuffy. My main beef with The Basement is that it tries really hard to not look nice. The Basement's motto is something like, "You've gotta start somewhere" and tries really hard to be the dirty little underground music venue for unsigned and unknown artists. Well, as much as you can be when you have the name PromoWest behind you. Even the spray painted namesake above the stage feels well planned by corporate forces. But all that nitpicking aside, The Basement isn't a bad place to see a band that might not make it to one of the other venues around Columbus. Tickets are always cheep, and as long as there isn't anything major going on in the Arena District, parking is cheap as well.

I went to see UH HUH HER small electric/rock group from Cali, I had never been here nor had I heard of it until a few weeks ago. I was very pleased with the bar and the band. It was small but comfy and the servers where nice and I didn't have to wait too long for another drink. The price was decent and it was pretty much everything I expected. Parking was free (luckly nothing was going on that night) and close to bar. I would definatly go see a show there again.

This place is really trying too hard. Super poor layout (can't see stage from anywhere except right in front of the stage), dark, damp, and feeling like an idea that someone tacked on at the end when they realized there was a sub-floor in some real estate they purchased (which does seem to be the case). The sound in there is mixed and vocals are almost impossible to hear (or at least with the specific sound guy from that night). If The Basement was built on no budget as Aaron A. says, I don't really see that as an excuse. Why didn't Promowest put money into it like they should have? They are certainly making money off it now. Seems kludged together. Seems to be a vision of what CBGB's was by people who never have been to NYC or CBGBs.

This place is a dump. Worst venue in Columbus. Try to avoid at all costs. They treated us like criminals before we stepped in the door. They won't allow you to bring in your purse for no particular reason. The place charges 75% service fees on tickets. 2 $10 tickets cost us $35 bucks. That is wrong. The sound sucks. And if you are trying to actually see a band don't try to here. If there are 50+ people in the place, you won't be able to see the stage. Obviously, the drinks are overpriced too. This place is a dump.

The sound wasn't terrible, as some reviewers have suggested. That said, this venue is terrible! It has the worst layout! Don't plan on getting a glimpse of the band unless you get there early and stay up front. It was way to crowded and a bite to move around up front near the stage. The promo company that runs gigs in this city seems pretty bad. They book a show for a rather large venue and then the show gets moved to this shit hole because of lack of sales. Haha, amatuers. The promo company person I tried to show my ticket to, was rude. I've never used an eticket thing from ticketfucker, and she was clueless how to help me and suggested I go buy another ticket, though another guy was helpful They need 4 bartenders not 2! The wait for drinks is unexcusable. I would say this is one of 3 terrible venues I will never go to again. The others being, the Grog Shop in Cleveland (horrible sound every time I've been there) and The Empty Bottle in Chicago (horrible sound and terrible layout)

Very industrial underground venue, would classify as a dive bar that has a stage more than a concert venue. it is spacious and allows for a good time....temper your expectations and go in with a loose fun attitude not expecting a traditional concert going experience and more of a bar with music in the background vibe and you will have a great time.

What a miserable venue. I read the reviews before I went, so luckily I knew it was going to be bad. And it's bad. The stage is lower than most of the crowd- except the pit. But once you're in the pit, there's no way in or out (get there early if you want to be trapped in the pit, but maybe be able to see the band!). I ended up at the post beside the sound booth and I was only able to see the singer's head, and only about 30% of the time as the crowd moved constantly. If you stand by the wall by the door you might get a decent view of the guitarist, but there are huge posts that block views all over the room. It truly is hot in The Basement. I read reviews that said it was hot so I got there as late as I could. Doors were at 7, I got there 8:20, was really considering leaving by 9:30, but stuck it out to the end of the show at 10:15. It's really uncomfortably hot, and not just in the crowd. The room is not air conditioned properly. Artists should boycott the venue for the temperature problem alone. Sound quality was pretty good. All the seating was taken and it was very dark around the bar. I guess if you wanted to hang out in a bar setting, sweat, and listen to the music it might be alright.

I would give this establishment zero stars if I could. We had tickets to the Kip Moore concert and decided to stop here first to watch the buckeyes play Wisconsin. Female bartender was the most rude bartender I've ever encountered in my life from the start. The friend I was with is a director of sales for a major corporation downtown, so she understands customer service, and has a solid perspective of it. Especially observing whether somebody in the serving industry may have a bad attitude. I expressed my opinion to her about our service and she commented to me that she has never seen anything like the poor treatment we were receiving. Apparently, what we didn't understand, there is a certain place you can order drinks and if you don't order drinks in that precise location then the bartenders have a bad attitude about it. The sad thing is? One, we were never even told. Two, it wasn't even busy. We were the only customers at first and then, when it did get busy, it wasn't anything that wasn't manageable. I can say this because I have been a bartender in the past. I have not read any other reviews yet, but I will. However, I can tell you that I did see this establishment has a three star rating. I am not a gambling gal, but I am betting that her poor attitude (which trickled down to the other bartender) has something to do with them being less than a five star establishment. I could not tell you her name (as she never told) me. Long brown hair. Not very tall. Too bad she's driving customers away from the business.

Music sounded great. Love that you are so close to the performers great experience, very kid friendly.

The acoustics are not as bad here as one might expect with such low ceilings. There are posts which support the ceiling that get in the way of viewing the band sometimes. It's not a bad place, The Basement, and as others have noted it does fill the niche for small, national indie bands that Little Brothers used to. Drink prices are not that scathing, and although the place is part of Promowest and certainly run by corporate robotic overlords, it does manage to have a pieced together, dim, suitable for underground rock sort of feel.

I have been going here for years and love it. EXCEPT they have recently made some terrible changes. First, there is a super aggressive woman at the front door who has to inspect your purse. Yeah, I get that part, that is fine. But then, she made me throw out my water bottle!! Really? Then they charge you $3 for a bottle to take in the car after to re-hydrate after the show. Second awful development is they stopped serving wine. All they have are these watered down wine spritzers that cost more than they used to charge for boxed wine, which was just fine for me. Hey BASEMENT - bring back the wine, and don't tell us to throw away our water bottles. Water isn't going to hurt anyone.

I'm with Lisa S....I always feel like I'm getting duped or something by branding such as that at The Basement. On the upside, it's a cool little place to see a show (as long as you don't get stuck betwixt the bar and house right).

small and grimey, its a great spot because the staff is super nice and its got a little grit. I am in a band and have played here twice, and they have been really accommodating each time. just remember if you are there to see a show bring some earplugs!!

Wow, what to say? If you want a venue that crams 98% of their patrons into 5% of the facility, with zero visibility for 99% of those, has ridiculous climate control (as in none) (as in 100 Degrees and at least 80% humidity) and not very good customer service at the bar, The Basement is for you. The place has an absurd setup where only a select few can see the act. It has NO airflow at all and the bartenders act like they're doing you a favor. All that coupled with the fact that literally 90% of the bar is unused. I definitely do not recommend.

The basement is the best place to go if you want to relax, have a beer and listen to some great music. Look for Randy...he's a hottie.

This place can be a great venue really! If your in the pit section which is tiny...pretty much all the other sections of the place is hard to see if its a packed night, and since i only holds 300 it can fill up quick. The first time i went here was about 3 years ago saw chance the rapper, i was in the little pit area close had a great view. Second time saw sold out walk the moon last year, had to stand near the back and couldnt see a thing. Its not a bad place just make sure to get there early enough to be near the front.

If I could give this zero stars, I would. It's been hit or miss always, but it's worse now. They wouldn't allow my sister in because her tiny purse didn't fit into a pre-measured rectangle. When I noticed them allowing others in with much larger purses and brought it to their attention, I was told it "wasn't their problem." We were told to leave her purse outside. My brother-in-law had to come get it before we got in. We already bought our tickets before being informed of this new policy. They also patted down only certain people. Not every person. The bands left much to be desired. They ran out of wine an hour after opening. And they kicked everyone out at 11pm. I will not be going back. The $12 I spent could have been better spent on Chipotle. Taco Bell would have been a better evening, to be honest.

this place is great they treat twenty one pilots amazing i went for tour de columbus it was sooo fun and i got to meet tyler and josh

ok, i know that this isn't truely a review. But i've never heard of this venue and Escape the Fate is playing there on the 21st. I was just wondering because i'm underage if kids are allowed in there since it has a bar service. any help would be really appreciated. thanks.
