Parish

I've been here for various types of bands and all of the shows have been packed. Pretty much standing room only with just a few places to sit upstairs. The bar is downstairs and can be a bit hectic as theirs standing room only to watch the band. It's a full bar that offers most alcohol you'd want and limited beer and wine too. If you get too overheated or just want a quieter place, the back bar lounge area is a nice escape. The washrooms are a bit odd and be prepared to climb stairs unless there's a hidden washroom I'm unaware of that is open to the patrons. Street parking is available with most metered spots and maybe you can try Whole Foods. I'm not sure the policy to park there and for how long. It's a great venue to see up and coming bands. Just the two huge speakers hanging down can block the view of the stage if you're upstairs. A chill vibe for the most part overall where you can let loose but it can get grungy and sweaty as the night progresses.

The security is awesome and the venue is not bad but the bar staff is the worst I've ever encountered. Super rude and not happy to be there. Wow.

We came for a New Years show to see DeVotchka. The venue was cool there was a balcony above with seating. We were in standing general admission and had plenty of space. The restroom situation was interesting. You have to go up at least 8 steep metal stairs to get to them. So be careful on your away up. It is a pretty tight space especially when the line starts going down the stairs. Drinks were affordable and the staff was friendly.I had read about an outside area but never found it. It was a nice was to spend the new year.

Very intimate venue. I recently went to see a show here, and the small space really emphasized the artist and the overall show. I really enjoyed watching the artist perform on this stage. There is a second story where you can view the show from above if you prefer. This is a standing venue.

Love this music venue. It's intimate and you always have a good view of the stage. There is also a little upstairs viewing part that is good too. Not a lot of parking but the drinks are extremely reasonably priced and they even have a little bar that's attached if you need a moment away from the music.

This is a cute venue space. I came here for a drag show that was phenomenal.I deducted a star because the bartender was extremely rude to me. I'm sober and asked what mocktail options existed (a fair question) and he just kept repeating "we're a dive bar" condescendingly until I finally got him to tell me the goddamn options. I purchased a $5 liquid death because I was just so flustered and wanted to leave the bar. They also automatically add a 20% tip which in any other circumstance is fine, but after being made to feel stupid for being sober and inquiring about options? He didn't deserve that tip.FYI: The bartender on the other side was LOVELY and so sweet. This review is specifically for the bartender in the event space.

Saw The Boys Fresh last night. Walk up bar service and they also had an app at the tables where someone would bring you a drink. Available parking that's gated, overall great spot on east 5th. Got a bottle of noble vines cab for $44.

Great for concerts! The lighting and building provides just the right amount of space and intimacy.

The manager of Parish reached out in response to my prior review to let me know the AC situation was not their doing. Apparently the singer of the band performing that night, Tiger Army, requests the air be turned off at all of their shows, even any AC for the the audience. The Parish manager tells me they have the AC going at all other shows. So not considering the AC situation, it was a decent venue with easy access to drinks. However, make note you cannot exit through the back door near the stage. It is for the band only, so if you're close to the stage you still have to exit through the front door.-----------------My prior review:It's hotter than HELL in here. It's 84 degrees and been rising ever since we walked in. People are feeling sick around us, fanning themselves, questioning if they want to see the show they bought a ticket for or forego it to stop feeling sick. They are saving money on AC, but losing money on future ticket sales. I am certain that I, and anyone I encountehere, will never come back unless maybe it is a cold day in winter.

I ordered 3 gin and toxic and my bill turned out to be 60 lol they didn't even let me check. And they added the tip themselves. All 3 bartenders looked like they hated their life My advice is bring cash to this place and just tip them like .50 cents or some thing lol
