The Riverside Warehouse

I saw Filter here this past Saturday night and it was incredible! I just love Filter! They rocked this place to its’ foundation! This is such a magnificent live music venue, hands down, the very best in this area… Buuuuuut…again, and I have said this before on this site and now I am yelling it out, GET A FREAKIN’ WEBSITE NOW! GET A

DOT. WHATEVER and you would be amazed and pleased about how much more you could pack this place, we’re talking close to breaking fire codes, people! Last time I’m gonna say it, GET A WEBSITE! Feel me? Okay. I would have NEVER even known about Filter had not a neighbor, who goes to the Warehouse, like everyday, told me about the show. And had I missed it due to lack of exposure on the Warehouse’s part, I would have been tee’d off! But again, Filter… wow…great, great, show! You guys rock forever! Warehouse, thank you for bringing Filter to town!

Great place for a show. The stage is set in a good place with plenty of room for the crowd. There is an upstair section with tables & chairs and pool tables as well. Fun place close to river and casinos.

The first time I heard about the Riverside Warehouse, or just ‘the Warehouse’ as it is more commonly called, I thought it was a night club, I frequently heard about it in relation to where someone had partied. The first time I went to the Warehouse was when the band Drowning Pool played (commonly known for their hit single, «Bodies»). Although the venue was great, it was not a good night to judge the Warehouse because the headlining band was famous. Most nights attendance at the Warehouse is sparse. Which sounds band, but for a small bar, is actually what adds to it’s appeal. To me anyway. The Warehouse only boasts a large red «W» on the front of their building, and if it weren’t for the bouncer in front, you’d never know it was a bar. The Warehouse has a bar located in the front when you first walk in, as well as a few pool tables and many large TVs which on weekends are full of nothing but football (when it’s in season). Walk past the bar and you will find a small (although I prefer the label intimate) stage, with plenty of standing room. At the rear of the room is another, much smaller bar. Upstairs is commonly the VIP area, which I have visited many times through connections with 99X, and although tagged ‘VIP’ I have yet to see anyone police the stairs. There is another full size bar upstairs with a few more pool tables and an EXCELLENT view of the stage from two different angles. Most of the time the bands that play on the weekends are not very well known, some are local, other’s as far away as Cali. In my opinion, and that of the people I frequent this venue with, the intimate atmosphere, sparse attendance, and relatively small size of the bar, make it that much better. It’s kinda like a hole in the wall, and it’s our little secret! When I tell people where I like to hang out, they say ‘I’ve heard of the warehouse, but I’ve never been’. And that’s kind of how I like it. But I’ll tell you… as long as you keep my secret to yourself!
