Overview

With the prow-like marquee, this looks like a standard concert venue planted in the grit of First Avenue. And indeed, the musicians who perform here are well-known, but not big enough to fill a stadium such as P.J. Harvey, Zap Mama and Les Nubians to name a few. Small raised platforms offer seating around the dance floor, and there are two separate bars. The attached Green Room bar offers cocktails and a varied bar menu. Ticket prices for shows vary, but generally run USD10-USD20.

Grittiness, sound and overall atmosphere. Saw Skinny Pupppy there a while ago and was blown away by the Showbox as it reminded me of what the Commodore used to be before the renovations.

I have seen concerts here and have gone dnacing here. I disliked the dancing very much. The lighting was cool but the music choice was not. For concerts not everywhere is easy to see from and there is absolutely no room to move around. The service is so-so. It takes awhile to get to the bar so get a couple drinks once you make it there. But this is not my first choice for concerts and my last choice for clubbing.
