Awesome venue. Première venue in NWI for national acts. The new sound system and atmosphere reminds me of a better mojoes.(without having to go to the city especially) The upper balcony is a nice touch. No alcohol served but Pepes is right next door. Cool staff. I’ve now seen Everyone I Die with Marmozets and The Eeries, Puddle of Mudd, Cannibal Corpse with Cattle Decapitation(on Halloween night), Bless The Fall with Stick To Your Guns and Emarosa. Big things are coming for this venue I see it. I’ve seen wrestling/music themed shows with bands on the stage and a ring in the middle of the building with matches happening. A lot of awesome local shows. Video game tournament shows coming up soon. They like to keep it exciting and fresh up here.

Where do I start? I missed a band that played at Reggie’s in Chicago Friday night so I made the trip to Indiana to see them Sunday night. What a mistake. We payed $ 25 a piece to get in(the people running the door were rude, lady, I just gave you $ 25, be nice) to this place only to walk up to the bar to find out they don’t sell alcohol? What? The«bartender» told us we had to go next door to the Pepe’s Mexican Restaurant if we wanted a drink. Seriously? So… I just payed $ 25 to a rude woman to see bands and can’t have a beer. OK. It get’s worse. The place is a dump, the bathrooms are dirty, whoever owns the place is clearly cheap and couldn’t be bothered to turn on the a/c so it was terribly uncomfortable in the place. Then, water starts raining down from the ceiling on high end(and I’m sure, very expensive) band equipment and the bathrooms flood and there isn’t any staff around dealing with it so now, in addition to having to go to Pepe’s if we want a beer we have to leave and go there to use the bathroom too. At this point I feel terrible for the underage kids because they aren’t letting them come and go and the bathrooms are flooded and I feel bad for the bands because I’m sure some of their equipment was ruined. One of the bands was from Australia, another from Brazil, and another from Germany and I’m sure they were all super impressed by this point. THEN, the flood causes the power to go out. I’m standing there thinking they are lucky no one was electrocuted. Plus they way they had the stages set up caused a choke point coming in and out of the place. What a nightmare. I’ve been asking around about who put the show together and I gather the two guys have a history of being unprofessional which was certainly on display Sunday night. Anyway, the place is awful, do yourselves a favor and stay away, even if you really, really want to see a band, it isn’t worth standing around that dump. On the upside, Pepe’s must have made a ton of money that night and they were nice and their bathrooms were clean so, 5 stars for Pepe’s(I never thought I’d say that)!
