I had a great experience at Velvet Underground! It’s a small welcoming vibe. The staff was friendly and accommodating, which made the night even better. The people doing security was also very nice which is hard to find at smaller concert. I also really appreciated how accessible the space was—there was a comfortable spot at the back where I could sit and still enjoy the show. The red bull was $6 which honestly I was prepared to pay more

The band, Gouge Away, delivered an amazing performance, and the atmosphere felt inclusive and non-judgmental. It’s rare to find a scene where you can just be yourself and feel comfortable, but Velvet Underground nailed it. Hoping more bands I enjoy play here

Saw Tiny Moving Parts here on a cold, wet, December evening.

The venue had a little tent out front for checking in which was a really nice touch.

Smooth entrance, great staff, reasonably priced coat check, good variety of drinks, GOOD sound.

You’re in for a treat if your fave band is playing at this intimate venue.

Saw Upshal preform at this venue on Friday (sept 27th) and I loved it! The stage is on the smaller size which makes for a great up close and personal show!
Whoever is in charge of doing the lighting for shows should get a pay raise because this show had the best lighting I've ever experienced!!!
Drinks were also reasonably priced ($10 for 1oz or $15 for a 2oz mixed drinks)

Would be 5 stars if the womans bathroom was upkept a bit more. I'm not sure if it was just bad timing but only 1 out of the 3 toilets would flush fully. Also there's screens in the bathroom showing ads? Can't even escape ads while peeing lol
Other than that, great venue! Friendly staff, great aesthetic. Would love to attend another show here.

Atmosphere is nice. It's fairly small but you'll probably get to meet the band you came to see. I would have gave five stars, but the stage is just too low to get a good view of what's happening if unless you're right at the very very very very front. I wish they'd raise the stage by about 3 and a half feet.

The venue is intimate and had a great atmosphere.
If you have the chance to see an artist you like here, I'd definitely recommend it.
I really want to give a shout out to security. They were very busy and yet remained polite and helpful with everyone.
While I waited in line outside, security checked on us and gave us some water.
They also tried to be as efficient as possible by getting wristbands handed out while waiting.
Yes they check you and your bag when you come in, but thanks to today's society.. what do you expect? Thanks for making sure the night was a safe one!
They also handed out water bottles to the crowd during the show, and on the way out, the bartenders put cups of water out for everyone.
Awesome service!
And Connor and Livingston was an epic show!
