The Lost Horizon

I came here recently to see a band that I love and wasn’t really sure what it was going to be like. Overall, for a smaller concert venue that is general admission, I thought it was pretty good. Plus, ticket prices were more than reasonable, it has a full bar, and the drinks were a lot cheaper than I was expecting. The place also has a lot of character.
We watched all of the opening bands from the bar area, which was pretty large and never had much of a wait for drinks. From there, the acoustics were generally good. We were with a VIP guest and watched the headlining band from behind stage (awesome experience!), so I can’t really speak to the acoustics on the main floor. However, from behind the scenes, it looked like the crowd was really enjoying themselves. I know I had a great time.
Parking wasn’t difficult, the bathrooms weren’t horrible, all the staff were friendly, and the bartenders knew what they were doing.
I’m sure I will be back the next time a band I like is playing here.

This place is probably one of the worst concert venues I’ve ever been to.
The bar is pretty nice. It’s big and has two sides so it’s easily accessible even with a crowd. The merch area is pretty large and flows well. That about all I can say that’s complimentary.
The stage area is horrible. The floor is too small, the ceilings are way too low, and the way it’s partitioned and separated by stairs, there’s almost no room.
Also, because of the low ceilings and a few other factors, the sound here is probably the worst I’ve heard in all my 29 years. It just bounces around and gets so muddled.
I drove here from Buffalo for a show, but regardless of the band, I won’t make the drive to this place again.

Overall this is a great venue to see a small concert.
It is much bigger than you would expect looking at it from the outside. There is a very large and roomy bar area, a huge area off to the side with booths, and then a pit area right in front of the spacious stage. Working bands would dream about playing in a place like this, because the stage is big and there are plenty of areas for people to watch the shows. I was here for a show, and the bands had plenty of room to set out merch and mingle with the crowd.
There are plenty of bartenders and people around to help you – on a approaching the bar, we never had to wait for more than 10 seconds to get a beer. Granted it was Tuesday night, so it might get a lot busier on weekends, but it seemed like Lost Horizon could accommodate pretty much anyone that would come see the caliber of bands they host.
