Definetely evocative.  Also cavernous and echoey with mediocre sound.  But
it's more than worth going there once if you've never been.  Too bad they
keep getting worse line-ups every summer.  The shows there are 21+
btw--they want people to get as drunk as possible, because they know
they'll lose money otherwise.

Oh, it's cramped.  Shelves get pushed to the sides, and they don't have
bands perform--only djs, solo acts, duos, or computer users.  Get there
early if you want to be sure of a space. "Luckily" for me, I get to be one
of the shelf-movers.  I can't wait.
