This is probably the nicest venues I have ever been in. It was once a movie theater and the currently layout shows. It has an orchestra pit for dancing and then a large wood floor level. This usually has tables but they can be removed for more audience members. Be hind that is some carpeted area to hang out and talk. Just like a movie theater it has a really nice and big foreign. There is also a balcony level with theater style seating. There are two huge bars, one on either side of the venue.

When you record from this place they put you DFC behind the sound board. Its actually a damn good spot. But you must get there early and setup as close to the board as possible. The balcony level is real close to the mics and only allows one row of mics before they are under the balcony. Suprisingly if you are under the balcony and with the rear wall being close causes little if any echo effect. The audio quality in the place is superb. It doesn't take much to file the venue with sound. That sound doesn't echo, can be heard everywhere, crisp, clear, but still have the low rumbles. Just an amazing place. And they will even serve you food and drinks at a table. The food however is a little pricey and nothing special. But its a great evening out to see a show here while having diner and drinks.
