My Brother-in-law almost died!

by KoryC at Citysearch

****WARNING****

On October 3 my brother-in-law went to see Undertow and after a confrontation with the security came home with a bruised forehead and a sore side. On Monday his spleen burst. After losing half his blood and many hours in surgery they removed all his spleen. He could have easily left behind his wife and beautiful baby boy.

Think before you enter this venue - it could be your last!

• Pros: Go if you hate your organs
• Cons: Go if you want an a$$ kicked by security

I won't be back

by MaxxVelocity at Citysearch

This is the only place where I've ever had a problem with the staff. Not just in Seattle, but from here to L.A. to Boston to deep down south.

As it turns out, a lot of my friends have had the same problems when going there. Getting kicked out, ripped off, and insulted seems to be how they do business.

I doubt I'll ever grace that hole with my presence again. Portland isn't that far away.

• Pros: they have a local monopoly, so you're stuck with them
• Cons: belligerent staff, no highlights, not worth the money

Worst Venue Ever.

by Erotocism at Citysearch

I had been going to El Corazon off and on ever since they opened in Seattle. However, this last year, I drew the line. Why, do you ask, did I keep going for so long? They have a monopoly on pretty much all the decent shows in Seattle. But, just this last year, I decided that any shows I can go to, I will go to in Portland or Vancouver. The owner of this place is the biggest tempered tool I've ever met. The drinks are far too over-priced for as little alcohol as you get, and the venue is miniscule in ratio to the overblown price of the tickets.

My advice? DON'T GO! Support our other local venues like Studio 7, The Moore, or Neumo's. The more you support them, the more we will have better venue options in the future.

• Pros: Absolutely None.
• Cons: Small venue, expensive drinks, owners are tools.
