Great acoustics, and it's nice to be close to the bands. Bar tenders are quick and make great drinks. The "poles" block view in certain spots. There is only standing room, so I'm not sure why there is different pricing for shows. The venue is smaller because it is split into two.

Small venue so it gets super loud, bring ear plugs. Super chill place though. The bouncer was cool as long as you didn't try to pull anything shady. One bar in the back, prices are what's expected from a venue bar. Aka a little more than a normal bars prices.

Great place for a show where you can actually see the performance instead of watching the projection screens. Sadly, a fuse blew when we went but it was still a great show.

Empire live was a great venue! Maybe not short person approved. I was second row in standing, and there was a STEP UP for all of the people on the barrier. If that wasn’t there I might’ve had a better chance of seeing more of the show, but at least I got a calf workout in with all my tipy-toeing. The sound was great, bass was heavy, and vocals were heard fine for the main act. I couldn’t hear the vocals for the opening act very well. I think the individual performers and their equipment might come into play with that though.

Great venue that provides numerous different genres of music on two stages. Security is friendly and helpful. Drink prices are on par with the area with quick service. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I recommend this venue to anyone who wants a great venue for music.

Amazing space! Incredible staff! THEY PLAY FOOTBALL ON THEIR LARGE TV! A marvelous performance venue. Ideal for bands or anyone who enjoys an intimate setting to enjoy music! I will return! The bartender was on point, everything really, is run so well. Make sure you check out the paint job in the bathrooms, seriously unique!

Firstly, this venue has some great qualities. Very clean bathroom, easily located with good parking around, amazing lineups that go through. So why the bad review? I have only been here for two shows but each time the vocals for all the bands at each show were tuned way too low. I could barely hear them over the over-tuned bass. It really soured my experience and was very frustrating.
