I first experienced this place a few years ago at a Snotrockets show. It was my buddy Doug Medlock's 50th birthday. He's in the band. Then I went for The Bygones and it was a trip to be here again. My wife and I very much enjoyed the show!! The staff was super kind and friendly. Doormen, security, bartenders...all were fantastic! Kindness is rare and they all had it in spades. The bar staff was super attentive and made us some excellent drinks. I only had one since I was driving, but my wife enjoyed her 3 Rose Kennedys. This is a GREAT spot for live music! Would love a chair or stool next time, but you gotta go EARLY for that!! Parking can be tough, but we found a semi-legit spot and didn't get towed. ;)

Great show seeing Oliver Hazard. Since they weren't at capacity I'm unsure the room was pre-cooled, which was fine since I had a little bit of dance space but it was a sticky day!Great staff. Great crowd. Great night!

Best place to see live music. Intimate setting with great acoustics. If you haven't been here to see a live show - I highly encourage you add this to your bucket list.

Great venue for live music! There is plenty of standing room and tables are first come first serve (at least for the concert I was at). Bar is quick and has a lot of options!

Fun mid-size bar to go to shows at. Drinks are cheap and the bartenders are quick. Parking is street parking!

Hadn't been here since they moved from Westport to downtown. I was impressed with the 'new' digs. Love that they require a recent negative Covid test or a vaccination card upon entry. Made me feel comfortable to enjoy a drink (3 actuallly haha) while watching the show. Bartenders were friendly and fast. Really nice bathrooms too- clean and spacious. This is a big deal for a music venue. As a life long music fan who's been to hundreds of shows, I definitely have some horror stories about bathrooms at clubs!

Fantastic people - great staff - wow, what a team. Very kind, working like a well oiled machine. Nice customers hanging out at a music venue I haven't seen since the old days at the Grand Emporium (many many years ago before they changed it). Anyway... The Record Bar is a blast, I've only been this one time but WOW! Did I mention FUN, SUPER LOW PRICES, KIND/NICE PEOPLE (staff & patrons). I'm an old guy and the Bowie Band was right on - they killed it. See The Band That Fell to Earth if you get a chance. More from me at our vinyl review website www.Vinylclubamerica.com

Went here to check out Sheven and My Posse in Effect (Beastie Boys tribute band) and had a blast. The bouncers were friendly and getting drink service was a breeze. We found a spot at the bar next to the stage and didn't feel overly crowded through out the night. The sound system was decent too. I plan on being back to check out other bands.

Went to see The Crane Wives with my daughters and had a good time. It was a great surprise that those with mobility aids were let in about 10 minuets early. I couldn't see much because I was at the back wall (my choice) but I enjoyed the music and people watching. The staff were very friendly and helpful, we look forward to visiting again.

Online it stated the show started at 6:00 pm. I came from three hours away and had to jump through hoops to get here on time only to be told the show starts at 8:00. BS!!!!! Somebody lied on the starting time and those of us who care enough to be here early are getting screwed. Doorman said it was standard operating procedures to lie to the public like this. Start your shows when you say you are going to start them. If you are trying to protect those that can't get to the venue on time... screw them. Never will be back to this place . Also wouldn't work with us for a refund. Sounds like lack of communication on a couple parties parts. I did speak to the owner who tried to accommodate us with a refund but we already waited an hour and 30 minutes so we are here to stay. Very frustrated.
