    Smaller venue with tons of spots with obstructed views. You have to get to shows super early if you have gen admission and expect to stand for the full duration in one spot.

    It's a TON of fun though and there is a well managed coat check!

    Great venue for concerts. They usually host more indie music, but also some bigger acts. I think you can also host private events at House of Blues. Majority of it is standing room (floor tickets or matinee tickets) with some seating and tables on the upper floors. The venue has a great atmosphere.

    Due to the set up of this venue it is often difficult to see the stage or find a good spot to stand. Also would be nice if they had some seating. They pull in great artists but it is not an ideal venue.

    Viewing from the two floors above is a bit difficult. The food and beer is good. The music however is phenomenal. The two bands I’ve seen are brilliant and the sound quality is exceptional. Just arrive early if you want to see the stage properly

    DO NOT BUY THE "VIP" BOX SEAT TICKETS! THEY ARE SUCH A SCAM! The seats are not staggered enough so i ended up literally having a view of nothing but the back of people's heads. And I am 5'8, not short by any means. I ended up having to perch on top of the backrest of my seat like a bird to be able to see anything. Also, there is not enough room between the rows so in order to go the the bathroom or get a drink you have to basically scoot across the laps of all the other seats. I am a skinny girl but I still had to press my butt up against so many crotches just to get out of my aisle. Also, the view from the 3rd floor is fine but not great. You would get a better view from the floor or the side balcony sections. It is absolutely NOT worth the outrageous amount of money i spent for those tickets. I am very disappointed and have learned my lesson.

    We are just leaving the PVRIS concert. I don't normally write reviews but I wanted to say that it was such a great concert, the sound was amazing. Most importantly though, the staff is freaking awesome. Jenna in particular. I let her know I was "with child" and if I could use a folding chair by the wall occasionally between songs so I'd be out of the way and could sit (as we had standing only tickets), but instead she gave me a folding chair in the front of the mezzanine so I could watch the concert there. I don't think I'd have made it past the two opening acts if it wasn't for her. Thank you Jenna.

    Great place to see shows (I saw Midnight Oil). The multiple floors makes seeing shows memorable. You cant get to the bar that easily once shows begin and it feels a bit restrictive. Security was good too.

    Great venue, I had ground "seats" and had a very good view of the show, if your shorter however you might consider the upper floors or getting in early.

    Decor was really cool, and the place was kept nice and air-conditioned, despite it being packed with people and 70 outside I was never uncomfortable.

    Easily accessible bars on the sides and great staff.

    Good place, also when getting tickets the floor doesn't really have seats as described. You are standing the entire time. Also eat at the restaurant​, good service and you can save time on the line as well.

    Unlike the House of Blues in Anaheim, this place understands that most people don't want to pay $30 to skip the line and only makes you pay $10 in food. The venue inside is beautiful. The beef I had is that the security wouldn't let my brother inside because he had a backpack with him for the show even though he offered to let them search it. Most venues would at least offer to hold the bag until the end of the show, but we ended up wasting all that money when we flew all the way from Utah to see the Pixies. Ridiculous!

    Concerts are great here, but security is ridiculous! Way too much over kill and it really ruins the experience. Gum isn't allowed?! Really? My friend got searched in the bathroom for looking down at her phone and texting. Total B.S!!! Security needs to focus on keeping weapons out and then just let people enjoy the concert that they paid for.

    Love this venue. Every time I've gone we have paid the extra for foundation room access and its simple the best concert experience. Couldn't ask for better security staff or bar tenders, can't wait for our next show! Simply amazing 💜

    I've been there about nine times this year to see concerts. Great venue great location. The staff are well-trained and very gracious to guest. The bar food is top-notch and not what one would expect 4 bar food. Drinks are moderately inexpensive. The sound is top notch. Not a bad place to see a show. Only issue is you will be standing the entire time. That's only an issue if you have back and related issues.
