I wonder if bands no how much money their losing by playing this venue. Their was an issue with the server, the owner was notified and did nothing about it.

Not to bad of a venue. It's a mostly standing venue with a 2nd level balcony. Main area is large and open. Stage is a bit small so artists really have to plan out what to use there so it may not be an amazing backdrop to the artist and their setIf you are at the ba REMEMBER THIS you need to get the bartenders attention they are busy with many other patrons as well. It's a tad pricey for drinks alcoholic and non-alcoholic.As with any venue they do sometimes run behind opening doors or show starting on time due to things not in the venues control but due to the artist and tech setting up and making sure all equipment is functioning for the show.

1. Website said no smoking of any kind is allowed but lots of people were smoking and vaping inside.2. They wouldn't give me tap water and said they're only allowed to give water by selling the $4 bottles. The bartender said they'd get in trouble for giving tap water. Not their fault, that is the fault of their boss. That is ridiculous and dangerous for any event, especially one that serves alcohol as its main commodity.3. The drink choices were slim and unvaried.4. The one drink I did get was $12 and 90% juice with little alcohol.5. Lots of staff didn't seem to know what was going on or what the rules were. Very disorganized.6. Strangely small with a bad layout.Worst venue I have ever been to.

We had an awesome time at the forge for the Powerman 5000 concert. Everything from the staff including Taylor (bartender) and Peter who is the general manager along with the staff did a fantastic job. We experienced the best possible service you can possibly get at a small venue concert hosting a metal show. I will for sure be back.Kevin
