Amazing and great ambience for performances. Nice rustic pub style setting that brings nostalgia and anywhere you are, you get to be up close and see the performers . Also be reminded parking is available but not free, for over 6 hours is $20 which is recommended for people coming here to attend concerts or performances. 1-2 hours are $10 and up to 4-5 hours is $15. Anything above 6 hour parking is a flat rate of $25.

Great place to see a show! They no longer promote cigarette smoking inside which is awesome! They do need to start checking their decibels during their sound check because they are one of the biggest reasons I have hearing loss. The exposure is way above normal and you can really feel it. I would recommend some ear plugs because I now have serious nerve damage. If they work on this, this place would be even more incredible!

Definitely Fort Lauderdales premier concert venue. I check their concert schedule regularly as they get good punk and rock bands.Ive been coming here since 2000, back when it was the Chili Pepper.

Went here twice! Once for Digitour in 2017 and again last year for The Neighbourhood. Definitely better the second time as they made some major upgrades! Lovely staff. Great Drinks

Been to this place a few times already and it’s pretty decent. I like that there’s three levels to accommodate everyone since it isn’t the largest place really, but it’s good. Super nice place for shows though and haven’t had a bad experience

Easily one of the best live music venues in South Florida. Huge variety of artists play weekly, fair ticket prices and great GA views. Two floors, multiple bars and good vibes.I suggest parking in the parking garage one block east. Parking is much cheaper than the two lots right on the property.

Brought my twin 14 year old daughters to see In The End Tribute (Linkin Park Tribute Band) on 1/3/2020. First time being at the venue, overall thought was I like the 3 levels. Im 5 tall and wanted to be on the rail but we were late so we were on the floor. Not too bad, but not too crowded either. Water was $5 a bottle and the place smelled like an old roller skating rink., which was kinda nostalgic for me! Crowd vibe was different then what Im used to, but we are going back for MIW on 1/30/2020, so Ill see what review I give then.

I was honored that RAW was compliment to offer me my complementary tickets however I think some changes to the scene are needed as far as having a hostesses meet and greet more guest among the venue and having a section for older timer RAW miami to meet/greet, share minds and drink wines.

I loved this concert place, its only two stories though. But the music quality was great and the crowd was very lively. They sell alcohol and snacks, and band t-shirts. I hope to come back again to see sabaton the next time they are in concert here.

Nice place to go see live music. I did not like much the sound arrangements, I felt I couldnt understand what the vocalist was saying. Oh and they ran us from the place as soon after the concert was over, I mean they said we could not wait in the outsides of the place, but in the sidewalk outside. But good anyways, would go again if I see some concert I like.

This venue is a hidden gem. It looks crusty on the outside but the inside is so DOPE! I saw FKJ here and the lighting, scenery and vibes were perfection. Super easy to get in and out. I loved it!

I’ve been waiting to see Trevor Hall for almost four years and in the last year unfortunately I lost the chance till a couple of weeks ago I drove four hours to visit him here in Ft. Lauderdale and at Revolution Live it was perfect. Was such a smaller venue that was perfect to get up close and be able to connect with the musicians.

Premier south florida music venue with solid talent buyers, lots of quality national acts come through this venue frequently. can get a bit crowded and hot for sold out shows, drinks are reasonably priced. Located in the heart of downtown Ft. Luaderdale

I went to see Nahko & The Medicine People. Stellar performance. The venue itself has been around so long & they have done such great renovation over the years. They need to touch up on the sound a bit but other than that, it was AMAZING! The overall level of service could be spiced up a little bit & the prices were per decent.Thank you Revolution & Nahko & The Medicine People. I do wish that Nahko & his Team replied a bit more to their social media profiles but I guess I understand why they might not.Hope to see you in Vegas when I’m back in a week.

The lady who helped us with the VIP and bottle service was great but anyone outside the bottle service wasnt. The bar tender upstairs was rude, throwing your change at you and rolling her eyes, even one of the security guards was rude not to me but to the guys I was with. We had someone come into our section that shouldnt have been there and he wanted them to move over. We plan on coming back for convenience of the section and the great service we got from our bottle service lady.

Review №24

Best venue in Lauderdale!!! Compared to Culture Room, this place has much more space for the crowds and the essential amenities - from clean restrooms, to floating beer bars and staff that is always on point and ready to help you in any way necessary. I will ALWAYS choose to come here for a show, never doubting that my experience will be the best possible!!! Plus, the sound is excellent and unrivaled by any other south Florida venue... the only thing is: if you go down into the pit in front of the stage, watch out for the stair cases and railings.... just be aware and safe! Otherwise, this place is absolutely perfect for any show, any genre, any time of year!!!

Review №26

Saw Reel Big Fish here. It’s nice, smaller venue. My only real complaint is that is entirely standing room only. There is absolutely no place to sit at all. The view of the stage was great from where I was though. If you’re short like me (5 feet tall) be sure to get there when the doors open so you don’t end up so far back in the crowd that you can’t see anything.

Review №28

Interesting venue but I dont think its that great for live music. I was there for the DMX concert. The main floor was packed super tight and consequently very hot.There are two levels and lots of bars and lots of open air spaces and patios. Do thats great, however, they will take you away from a view of the main stage.The setup was interconnected with other venues like stache and parts of Americas Backyard.That makes it good to walk around and I think great for a club.I watched the concert from 2nd level behind the stage that had its own bar.

Review №31

There are only a few good places to watch the show in the entire venue. Get in early to post up on the rail by the soundboard. If the show is sold out. Its over crowded. The drop floor pit is always crowded and with only the 2 sets of stairs in and out, it could be a safety issue.

Review №41

Great place to catch a show. Crowd always seems to be relaxed about the whole “rushing the rail” thing and instead just kind of hangs out and just enjoys the music.Have been to a few shows here now and it’s always the same, in that regard. Also a small, intimate setting to catch bands and be close to the stage no matter where you choose to be.

I love this place! Have a few drinks before coming and the drink prices wont matter so much!! I also love the general admission, get there early and enjoy you place by the rail. (Dont even think about getting on the floor, it can instantly turn into a mosh pit, but if thats your thing, have at it, lol). One thing to watch for, FEED the PARKING METER or it will cost you triple!!!

Amazing place to catch a show by one of the many national touring acts that come through this club every year. A south florida institution, this venue has very interesting decor and layout, with great views from everywhere (especially from their VIP area). My favorite part is that most nights theres a little tent selling hamburgers and hot dogs so youre not stuck starving like most other venues.

Not one of my favorite music venus. Sound is often poor. The layout for standing/viewing isnt that great... Drinks are overpriced... And worst off, the place smells like an old rotting/musty bar. The kind of place where you really dont want to look behind the bar in fear of what you might see growing there

Review №83

The venue is nice. Unfortunately their parking system is a money maker. If you go over 1 minute they give you a ticket that if you dont pay in 15 days will cost you $60.A completely rip off! This definitely makes the whole experience sour.The app was crashing since everyone was trying to use it at the same time, and you dont have a way to extend the time like every other parking app.I would rather pay $20 parking as part of the concert. Bad system to steal money from people. In my case not going over again, sorry!Owners of the place should take this into consideration.If you check the Better Business Bureau website, there are lot of complaints about this parking business.

This is the best venue. I have seen so many acts come through this hall and its the absolute best. The tickets arent killer prices and everyone who works there is nice beyond belief. My first concert here was Of Mice and Men (with Austin still at the lead) and my latest was seeing Pouya live. If you get the chance, make you way out there because its an amazing place.

Review №88

Essentially THE best concert venue in south florida. Capacity for crowds, yet small enough to be intimate. General Admission (standing room) goes right up to the stage and VIP is comfortably close on the periphery. This is how it should be everywhere. Yes, the ‘pit’ in front of the stage is low and crowded enough that you *will* be touching 5 people minimum. This is also as it SHOULD BE when people love music and cram together for a mutual experience. Because music lovers squeeze in as tight as possible it gets hot and suffocating in the front near the band, but it is cool and spacious in the back. Bottled water at the bar is reasonably priced and mosh pits are tolerated. Security are not d*cks unless you are.

Review №91

While I have been at this venue for concerts several times before, this time the experience was horrible. The place felt incredibly overcrowded. Definitely there were way more people than I have ever seen here before. The heat at this place, specially with it packed to the hilt, was unbearable. No air flow from anywhere. Since this is a general admission show, if you go alone and decide to get some air, you will loose your place. Just as it happened to me. The high temperature at the venue forced to go outside, as I was not feeling well due to the heat. To my surprise, I was not alone. Several people were experiencing the same thing. Since I could not get back to my original location, and could not find a suitable one with a good view, I decided to leave halfway thru the concert. I am an avid concert goer and like to get get in the middle of the crowd for the best viewing experience, if thats where it can be found. So I definitely dont have claustrophobic issues. However this time.... The heat was just too much. This is a shame, as I had been waiting for months to see Sabaton fine back to the area. Instead I have unpleasant memories of a place I used to enjoy for concerts due to the small, intimate size. Will I ever go back after this? I seriously doubt it.

Review №92

Great place to see your favorite artist! From anywhere you watch, you feel like you are right next to them. The only thing bad thing was that there was people smoking inside. Security sucked in keeping the isles clear of people by the stairs, specially since the bathrooms are upstairs. NEWBIES TIP: There is a nice VIP section, which you have to email them, to get seating. Get there early if you want to be on the railings.

Amazing venue near the nightlife action in Broward county near Las Olas.A friend invited me to a concert there to see a tribute to Linkin Park there. Connected to Satche bar. Venue is symmetrical with lower level close to the performance stage.Behind it is a veranda where general admission has a perfect view around the stage.Upper level balconies wraps around allowing guests to view the pwrformqnce from a birds eye aerial perspective.Bathrooms were clean and was stocked with someone providing cologne, mints, etc.Outside area had outside canopy bar and grill for those who smokes.Altogether, one of the best, most intimate venues in the heart of Fort Lauderdale.5 stars.Paul

Went for an Indie craft fare. It was a great venue for the show with so many vendors. All the employees were helpful and friendly and the show seemed well organized despite the rain. There were food trucks as well as coffee and drink bars open inside. We were able to park right in front of the entrance.It was an impressive group of very crafty and talented people. There were so many awesome things to look at that I could have taken all day to see everything. Honestly I expected it to be a bit lame like most of the ones they rarely have in WPB. Boy was I surprised, by not only the friendliness but variety!Ill definitely be back for future events especially now that I know how close the Brightline station is.Only 4 stars for no toilet paper. ;)
