Unimpressive

by lndnissoclean

I am new in town and heard this place was pretty good for live music. I went to a Friday show that was supposed to start at 10. When I arrived at 10:20, the band had not arrived yet. By the time I left hour later, the band was still setting-up. At most places that I've been to in other cities, venues are pretty timely about getting bands on stage--especially on Fridays.

In the meantime, the bar only served beer and the air-conditioning was not working. I did not leave early because of the band being over an hour and a half late, I left because it was so hot in there I almost sweated through my shirt.

C grade at best in any other city.

• Pros: Good neighborhood; clean
• Cons: Untimely, no full bar

Music at the Muse

by tallulahnc

The Evening Muse is my favorite place to see a show in Charlotte. They bring in artists that you can't see anywhere else in town. The owners have a genuine love of music and it shows. The sound is awsome. The food is good and the beer is cold but the Muse is no smoking. Even though my boyfriend is a smoker, he will still go to the Muse for the music. cover is cheap and they alswys have tow or three bands. It's a great place and I highly recommend it.

• Pros: Price, Great music, atmosphere
• Cons: None
