The Evening Muse

Checked out Penelope road and they were an amazing up and coming band from ATL. The vibe of evening muse is unmatched in Charlotte, service is always great and friendly. Best spot for a show

Such a cool cool coooool venue. I've known this spot to host a variety of events and I'll seek out the calendar for The Evening Muse for sure. I was there an intimate acoustic concert for a band that I love and have seen numerous times but this was the first time like this. There were rows of chairs set up for this concert with some standing room in the back and at the bar. The bartenders were nice and quick and remembers drinks which was a nice touch. As soon as the concert was over all the chairs were removed and the stage was set for the following band of the night - there is always something going on here. I'll be back soon for sure.

We came for a Stoplight Observations acoustic show and the ambiance was everything. It really leveled up our experience. The venue is small and intimate. There isn't a bad seat in the house and the bar service is quick and efficient. I thoroughly enjoy seeing shows here!

This is a really nice venue and it's in an area with nice little restaurants and cafes. It's pretty small so it makes for an intimate setting listening to the music and makes the audience really connect with the music act. The price for the shows are good too. Great for a night out.

The Muse is a moody neighborhood dive. It's an alternative creative space that welcomes all for open-mic nights, smaller music tours/shows, etc.It's an unsuspecting good time.

Monday night is open mic night along with a featured artist. There is a slight cover charge. The venue is small and intimate , it holds approximately 60 ish people. Performers wanting to perform pick a number out of a box to determine when they will perform, so it doesn't matter if they are there early or not. The owner, Don, is extremely personable and knows a lot about music and bands. We were especially excited to be there since our son routinely performs there on Monday evenings. He performs under the name Low Groves. The bartenders were exceptionally nice. A great intimate venue.

Hands down, our favorite venue in the area for live music. The acoustics are great, the staff attentive and friendly, but best of all the audience is there to enjoy the music, not talk loudly amongst themselves for the whole night. Ticket prices are reasonable, and the bar offers a nice selection of local beers and mixed drinks.

My review might stand out lol but it was too loud for me. We seated near the front at first and I felt the drums in my chest and ringing in my ears when they sing. During the break me and my friend moved to the back where it was a more pleasant experience, for a venue to be that small it was extremely loud. If you are sensitive to loud sounds or might suffer from vertigo like I do , I would not recommend going here for live music unless you sit in the back or bring some ear plugs. Luckily the stage is platformed so you get a good view no matter where you sit.

The location, music and venue itself is great. The problem with this place since I can remember is they harvest a culture of being too exclusive. It has a vibe that doesn't match the live music feeling you want. They are excellent at turning people away and not making you feel welcome. Went to a show last night and as people crowded to get in the majority walked away after talking with the doorman. Charlotte needs live music so bad and it's a shame that a place that's been around for so long just doesn't get it. Overall I can't recommend the place due to the negativity surrounding this place. It's just weird.

Super intimate setting. Surprised to find seats taking up most of the floor space. (Seating for about 70)Also surprised by the age of the crowd. I was not, per usual, the oldest dude there. Great sound system Great selection of local beers. Easy access from 36th street blue line station. This might supplant the Milestone as my fave.
