This is a very intimate venue to see a band like many of the reviews state. Tickets were fairly priced, bathrooms clean, very easy access to the bathrooms and bar despite the horde of people inside, and the music sounded great.The only negative was that the band was tough to see through all of the people. I feel the stage is not elevated enough, or the floor is completely flat and does not slope at all from front to back. If you are not 62, or standing at the front, it can be very difficult to see the stage without constantly shifting your head back and forth.The experience was enjoyable however if there was a choice of venues to see the same band I personally would try another one out before returning to The Underground.

This is a great venue with smaller crowds and more opportunities to view local bands too! We have always found the staff to be on the job and in business mode with friendly smiles. We go several times a year, and we will continue to do so!

The Underground is a cool little place. We visited last night for the 1st time to see puddle of mud. Im short and had a hard time seeing but still enjoyed the show. My only complaint is the ticket prices were $25 dollars per person, then when ordering the tickets a additional $20 service charge per ticket and when ordering online it asks for a dollar donation for something with no option to decline so a $25 ticket actually costs you $46 which is fine if they would just charge that upfront instead of finding out when making the purchase. Add the prices of a few drinks (beer $11, mixed drink $13) for two ppl easily starts adding up fast. We arent from Charlotte so maybe this is all normal here, we just werent prepared so this post is mostly for the out of towners to give them some insight when planning a trip.

Not a bad spot to catch a show. Open space but not many spots to see the stage if youre not close to the stage. Bartenders were cool and prices were average for a beer.

Amazing show! The venue is easy to navigate and the staff keeps the walking lanes clear and easy to maneuver, even in the middle of a sold out show. The bartenders are all great and easy going. One of the best venues Ive been to in quite a while!

The place is kept very clean. Its a nice place to have a concert, and to go see one! Its right outside of the city, and located by a nice volley ball/bar restaurant. Im excited to visit again later this month!

Cut small area for concerts. As I dont like huge crowds this was pleasantly doable. Had they had more fans this place wouldnt have held them with comfort . I enjoy the smaller venues with reasonable amounts of people. Not over crowded and make sure everything stays clean is so important especially the restrooms.

A great location to see mid tier acts. Very well laid out, maintained and staffed. The alcohol prices are a bit steep though. That seems to be the case for all of those live nation venues.

Decent venue. Sound and Lights are good but the VIP area is a joke. Dont waste your money on the upgrade.

Dope set up for concerts, it kind of has that old school set up for a venue, I loved it and the concert I attended! It is a standing only venue, theres a patio out back for smokers as well. The drinks were reasonably priced, I believe they may have specials but there werent too many on the night I went.Overall, its a nice spot to go out to, I definitely will be back for the next event!

Review №23

The low celling gives the place an intimate feeling, even with the 800 person capacity. The beers were pricy at 11 bucks (for craft) but big pours so not a bad deal. Pro tip... dont press the bottom of the glasses...youll loose your beer.

Just finished a concert here, first time so I dont know if this is the standard but it was amazing. Intimate stage setting, the staff was fun and efficient, the crowd was great, the artists were energetic, it just seemed like everyone, including staff, was happy to be there and thats hard to do. Lots of kids in the crowd tonight so they even played a few Disney songs over the speakers in between sets.

I love coming to concerts here! I have come to different concerts here for years and i love it!! I just warn that you WATCH YOUR DRINKS. I had a few other fans that kept bumping into the back of me after TWO redbull vodkas i was so drunk I was barely able to walk to my car and passed out in the front seat. I ended up throwing up and being sick for 3 days just off of two drinks. I had to call out of work that morning. Ive never had anything like that happen to me before. I dont blame staff just wish like security would of said something to the two men that decided to walk me home. My DD ended up finding me being held up by two men i have no recollection of. Im just glad he found me cause i am not from Charlotte and so idk what would of happened to me. But music is great! crowd surfing is a must if you go to a hardcore concert.

Nice venue that has 2 bars a stage and large dance floor. I attended a silent disco event here and had a great time. They check you at the door and pat you down so no fear of any weapons in the building. All in all a good place to have an enjoyable night out will definitely attend more events here.

I had a great time at the underground seeing Starset, The Palisades and Hyde! It has a nice atmosphere. There are no seats inside so wear comfy shoes! There is an outdoor sitting area if you need some air. Drinks (alcoholic) were about $12 each. Parking was neat and organized, and there is a mild walk to the venue across the street. Parking fee is $10.

Great venue, good sound quality. Plan to be squished a little if youre in the crowd, but overall good experience. Parking at/near the garage was about $10 cheaper than the lots closer, and was easy to exit.

Nice venue for smaller performances, general admission so if you plan to be at the front plan accordingly to get there early enough to do so. The VIP section has a decent view from the back area and its own bar, which is convenient. Seating in the VIP is pricy, but even standing you have a decent view.

Awesome venue for small concerts that provides a much more personal experience with the bands. Love that its surrounded by many great breweries & affordable restaurants within walking distance. We went to hear The Stranger, a Billy Joel tribute band and OMG, they are friggn AHHmazing! GREAT date night.

Review №43

The venue was fine as far as a place to see a concert (thats why it gets 2 stars), but refusing to sell water (which is already overpriced @$3 for a 16oz bottle), after the show wraps, is just cruel. There is no proper ventilation over the crowd and people get really hot and need hydration. It seems like the venue would want to make as much blood money on water as they could, seeing that they already have a multitude of ridiculous upcharges and surcharges for everything from getting into the venue earlier than others to their drink prices. You gotta do better.

Nice little venue. Few steps below the sidewalk outside, hints the name. It is smaller than its sister venue, the Fillmore, but it is nicely furnished. My only complaint is the merch area and the line for it stretches Infront of the main entrance. While I was there the tap system was down as well, so no draft beer. Acoustics were decent for the venue size. I would visit again for my taste in music.

Review №53

Great place to see big artists in a more intimate setting. Drink prices arent surprisingly expensive, just what youd expect at a venue. Merchandise is same price as any other concert. Parking always available somewhere around there, but get there a half hour early to get a good spot, both in parking and in the club. Wish they didnt let it get so crowded, but you know, they gotta sell tickets. Also wish they tended to the crazies, they just let them scream and shove and ruin the show sometimes.All in all though, I would go to see a show there again, but would get there super early to snag a railing spot, just so that I could hold on to something and not feel so claustrophobic and shoved. But youll experience that in any concert with only standing admission, so its a price to pay when you want to see an artist in a smaller setting (vs stadium).

I saw chase Atlantic here on my birthday and the concert was great. However, some of the attendees were not so amazing. I was pushed over several times by one lady in particular to the point that other people were noticing and called the bouncer over to help. The lady did not stop trying to knock me down while the bouncer did nothing to stop the problem. I was told that if we didnt stop, wed both be kicked out of the concert. I ended up being knocked over onto the ground by the same lady and dislocated my knee in the process. The medics were very helpful, I just wish that the antagonist wouldve been removed from the venue.

You will order one beer but get another. Be careful, always taste sample the beer youre ordering. Inknow ther Precious IPA from Wicked Weed. I ordered and recieved something totally different. The bartender told me oh well. I guess thats what I should expect for an $11 beer.

Review №67

This place is pretty cool, and I would give it five stars if it wasnt for the weird rules they have inside. First off they do a full security check, then when youre inside the seating is all reserved and hardly used because of that. Signage is an issue and they force you to keep free of certain walking lanes. Youre not allowed to sit on the floor either but not allowed to use the furniture. Im telling you this place makes no sense, but the venue was good and the atmosphere/people were cool. Nice location but no parking either. Had to pay for a spot a block down. If they could at least fix the weird rules inside, could give it at least four stars.

Went to the venue for the first time to see some cover bands. My husband & adult son were with me also, and we had been looking forward to this night for a while. Unfortunately, we had to leave 3 songs into the first bands set. Despite the signs at the door that CLEARLY stated No Moshing or Crowd Surfing we were shoved & stepped on multiple times with people having expensive drinks knocked out of their hands or onto the people in front of them by a handful of idiots moshing. Didnt get to see the second band, whole reason why we went - night ruined. Bathrooms were nice & clean & so was the smoking deck...Management needs to enforce their own rules and the experience would be golden.

Review №75

I have to give 4 stars because once youre inside The Underground it is not thoroughly accessible and they dont offer wifi. As Im disabled I always note accessibility. I had a great time at the show and the staff was very helpful to me, but there are only stairs to the smoking patio so if you cant do stairs you cant even just get some air. Other than that the venue is great, decent size for intimate and larger shows. The premium seating has great views. Where you line up is not covered at all.
