El Club

A little perplexing at first. The showroom had no chairs and the demographic was AARP. Eventually, folding chairs were brought out. The show (The Hot Sardines) was fantastic!! Great venue. The bar service was great. They even give refills on soft drinks and have cold water available.

Mixed feelings about the El Club. It is overpriced. New Pornographers tickets were over 50 dollars. While in Boston or San Diego they were 35 and 37 dollars respectively. MC5 was over a 100. On the coasts the tickets were under 40. This is a good venue for small shows but not sold out shows. The venue is two rooms. During a sold out show people get pushed near bar. Be prepared to watch the concert from a TV screen or thru a doorway. They seriously should hire an architect and knock down a portion of the wall to allow audiences to see. The outdoor sign says they have pizza. They do not.Staff is friendly and location is well maintained. Appreciate the outdoor area.

I will never buy tickets to an event here again! The club is divided into two rooms. The first room has the bar, the second has the stage. The bar room is so loud and the acoustics are so bad that you can hear the patrons in the bar over the live music. The stage room is long and narrow and was so packed I could not move my arms. This is clearly a disaster waiting to happen. Parking is an absolute joke. Come an hour early so you can actually find parking that is not a mile away.

Big fan of El Club! I've had the pleasure of seeing a few artists here including Lizzy McAlpine & The 502s. The tickets are easy to get and typically cheap, the parking situation isn't too bad although I'd recommend arriving a bit early to get good street parking, it makes for a great smaller venue and the staff I've encountered have been helpful. They put water out as well which is smart & greatly appreciated. I've never been here for a regular night out but I've certainly enjoyed the concerts they host!

Such a great venue. Small and intimate with great acoustics. It was crowded but full of fans. The drinks were also wonderful.

Traveled from Cleveland for a concert that was not stopping in my area. The area this club is located in is super cute. Lots of culture. We were checked in efficiently with safety precautions taken that helped me feel at ease. Upon entry the bar greets you. I really appreciated this because it kept the business of cocktails separate from all the other goings on. Made for a smoother process in my opinion. My drinks were ice cold and tasty. I couldn't ask for more.The club area itself is spacious with a built in stage in one end and a few lounge seating areas on the other. I thoroughly enjoyed the show and venue.

Great little venue. Had a good sized group attend this spot last week for muscadine bloodline concert! The venue has indoor and outdoor areas. Would definitely come back in the future if they have any wrists we like in the future.

We were in town to see Morgan Wade and the place was sold out. It was frustrating that the club even allows that many bodies in the building because it was worse than being in a tuna can. Literal bodies against bodies to the point we were backed up to the front door. The building is basically 2 rooms that join in the middle and we had to stand by the front door at the right angle to see Morgan Wade on stage. We ended up watching most of the show on the TV screens that were not very clear. I do have to say the staff was phenomenal, bartenders were friendly and efficient and even started a bonfire outside for us after inquiring about it. Overall, would NOT return, ever.

I was here to see Moonchild 4/23/22. The place itself is small and not really setup for more known artists. Its one way in/out, but they have a nice outdoor courtyard with a wood burning fireplace and a trailer that may or may not serve food (did not in my case). The bar covers one side of the wall, and they have it fully stocked.... with liquor. This was a large crowd and it was mayhem with the 3 bartenders working, but I didn't hear of any problems. Drink prices were manageable and the bathrooms were clean and no problems to note there.The crowd overflowed the main stage area into the bar area so much that people were watching the concert from the only TV working in the place. The sound pumps outside, but there's no screen setup, which would have been nice for those who can't be 2" within someone during COVID. I enjoyed it at the bar: hanging out with people and chopping it up (Houston, where u at?) But when I say past-capacity, I mean... about 1000 people in a 300 person facility. A wake up call for a few more venues in Detroit.I ride-shared in, but parking is either on residential streets or a grass lot next door - no security and at your own risk.

Why would you advertise having Heineken 0.0 and not have it available to the clients? Lame AF.
