Ridiculously hot in this venue! I felt bad for my friends performing. Also I felt like they over sold the show because you couldn’t move. The door guy kept taking side $$ and letting people in. Online it said the show started at 7pm but it really didn’t start til 8:30. Also what’s up with the extra 3$ membership fee at the door? This should have been built into the price of the concrete. People in line were pissed at this.

Beautiful venue with an unmatched vibe. You could tell the staff were really putting in the work to make this a great experience for everyone. I couldn't have asked for a better first concert, thank you 506!

Awesome divy music venue, takes me back (The Brewery, Raleigh, RIP). Good selection of beverages. The sound was good. Very enjoyable. I suppose the popcorn may be ok.

Saw Moonwalker here, loved the vibe!! Free water was an insanely nice perk, all the staff were super nice, and I had an INCREDIBLE time!! Seems like a Speer cool hangout spot, wish I didn't live over an hour away

I love the Local 506! There's a great pizza place next to it, and whenever me and my friends and I see a show here, we stop next door and grab pizza and have some before the show. Local 506 is a very low-key spot. They have drinks and a few seats. The stage is a good height, and you can see everything on the stage pretty well. I really like how intimate the space is, I always get to speak with the musicians after the show, which is awesome. Can't wait to go to another show here.

This place made the after party of a wedding so good. The best divey bar atmosphere. 100% would go again

I have played many shows here, always a good experience, being mostly an opener i dont always get payed well, but they did cover my gas the most recent show i played, not complaining, i get it. I sold plenty of merch which really in the metal world is where you make any money. Sound at this venue is great, great sound guys, bartenders and door peeps. Plenty of good food close by.

One of the employees a long haired blonde guy with glasses gave himself a big tip on my tab. I think he was trying to impress his female coworker by committing light fraud but I got my money charged back after i notified my card company. Make sure you get a copy of your receipt when you go to this place because the employees have tried to steal off your receipt guess Rob doesn't pay them enough I don't know.

Was there for our grandaughter's rock band performance so didn't eat or drink. It's a music bar so there were drinks and beer available. Very cool venue for local bands.

Great place to see live music from local to national acts. Drinks are decently priced and they have free popcorn!

Small venue for small shows. If you're not buying a drink from a can/bottle, don't even bother because the mixed drinks are gross. Employees are decent I guess.

It was miserably hot. One ceiling fan squeaked so loudly that the squeaking noise competed with the loud music. I mean the ceiling fan was remarkably loud. Various members of the band appeared to struggle with the sound technicians for the first three or four songs.
