Piere’s

Had a great time at this place! My husband and I went to see a group called Down, they are one of our very favorites! And it was terrific! We was on the floor the whole time and when the crowd got a little to rowdie the security kept a good eye on everyone and if it got to ruff they stepped in. It’s a good place to see big acts the sound was good and the atmosphere was very fun. A big plastic cup of draft beer was $ 6.00 not sure the cost of mixed drinks and during all the shows they had about six servers walking around with a tray of shots so they kept everyone drinking. I would most defiantly return for another concert anytime! :-)

Pieres is very cool Venue overall. Parking leaves something to be desired at the more popular shows. I’ve been to about 6 – 7 concerts here now, making the drive from Lafayette. One of the few places bringing the good rock bands to Indiana. The sound is usually pretty good, the set-​up is good and there are several satellite locations to get a drink, if that is your thing. My biggest gripe, security tend to be complete pricks. I realize that drunken jerks make the job a handful sometimes, but if someone isn’t being disprectful, don’t be a dick.

If you just turned 21, you would probably enjoy the Piere’s experience. There is plenty to do there and a different type of crowd for everyone. They even have a shuttle bus that will pick you up and drop you off.
However, if you are 25 and over, avoid this place like the plague.

Recently saw Volbeat here in April. It’s strangely located in a strip mall. And the parking lot can get very crowded. We had to park across the street, which was totally fine. But if you’re coming here for a concert, be sure to leave early!!! Because we didn’t lol.
It’s pretty big inside, but being here for a concert, it was packed. Almost no room to really move around. Didn’t really buy many drinks as they’re way too expensive. So drink beforehand! All in all, it was an okay place to see a concert. Nice thing though, is that you’re really close to the band/​artist you’re seeing, so that’s pretty cool.

One of the worst experiences I’ve ever had. We arrived a little early to the event, and stood outside in line, which is fine. However, there was a sign stating that the doors would be opened at 6. This did not occur as we were told they couldn’t find the keys to get the door open.
We were patted down, carded and I had my purse checked; which is fine, except that there’s no way he saw anything of what I actually had in my purse and my mittens and huge wallet were on top of anything else. Don’t send me through security as a pretense! It doesn’t make me feel safe at all.
Tickets were 32 dollars apiece. That’s alot of money for our group of 6. We arrived inside the club and couldn’t find any seats that weren’t marked VIP. The event was supposed to start at 7, but didn’t start until 7:30. Our waitress was rude, didn’t know what beers they had available and frequently disappeared. The beers that we ordered came back to us 2/​3rds full. When we commented on it, our waitress shrugged and said «I don’t know, that’s what they gave me.»
We were lucky to be able to sit down for the event, as there were hardly any chairs available, so I’m glad we were able to at least sit down. However, people were allowed to stand in front of us the entire night. If you wanted to be able to almost see, you had to stand on your chair.
My last complaint is the restrooms. I felt like I needed to be dunked in Lysol after going in there. The carpets looked as if they had never been cleaned, and panels on the doors were broken. Clean the bathrooms! At $ 32 dollars a ticket, I know you can afford that!
My friends told me that they only go to Piere’s once every ten years and every time they remember all the reasons they don’t go there. I won’t be attending that venue ever again.

It actually wasn’t as bad as I thought. I’ve heard only but bad things about Piere’s, but when I went there, it was pretty decent. It’s not for everyone though. If you like laid back and classy bars, don’t go to Piere’s. It’s exactly the opposite. It’s really an adult playground. You can pretty much do whatever you want, except fighting obviously. Alcohol is really cheap on certain nights. I will probably end up going here again sometime.

I actually use to go dancing there esp in the zone. ppl will tell you they hate it but you end up seeing them there. the capacity is pretty big. the main floor has a stage and there is rock band. to the right is the zone and they play dance, r&b, hip/​hop, to the left i believe its called v club and they play rap, r&b.u can order chicken wings there. its pretty good. to the back they have a pool area and its more of a sport bars section. up stairs there is a patio now and in the inside some places to mingle or watch the rock stage. its a pretty happening place but now i think ppl go to the early birds… been a long time but i use to have fun. you can take a limo to flash backs and columbia st. if your too drunk the pieres van will take you home if you live locally. i haven’t done that but i’ve had friends who have if they were stranded lol. good ol times!

Picture your typical college town dance club. That’s really all Piere’s is. It’s a very large, over-​hyped club that is always over packed with new college kids who can’t handle their alcohol and are looking for a hook up. Often referred to as «Dirty P’s», you are likely to encounter any number of questionable and trashy situations while wandering around the venue.
Sure it occasionally draws in some fairly big name national acts and you can usually expect to see the regular patrons like ‘Mullet Man’. However, if you are over the age of 21 and looking for a good time there are better options in the Fort Wayne area for dancing and fun.

If you’re visiting Fort Wayne head downtown to experience the nightlife.
This is a big building in the middle of a huge parking lot. Nothing special.
They do have some pretty decent national acts come through and play though.

Five clubs under one roof and the main room hosts as many as 65 national concerts every year. Computerized lighting and a 3,000 watt sound system are some of the highlights. The establishment also features a large dance floor, where bands perform acts that are projected on a big TV screen. Past performers include Willie Nelson, Creed, Godsmack, and REO Speedwagon. Refreshments are available on-​site. An ATM machine near the entrance will help you load up your wallet, but don’t worry if you can’t access itthe place also accepts major credit cards.
Hours of Operation: M-​Sa 10am-​9pm, Su Noon-​7pm
