I just went Saturday night and watched Pupil, Red Hallway, and Purely Red play. What a great time and the High Dive took the coronavirus seriously. Temp checks at front and masks required inside. The music was awesome as always!

Great to see live music again, with good COVID-19 precautions!

There are no zeros to give or I would. It smelled awful inside & was dirty. We went for a show and ended up leaving because we waited almost an hour for it to start and couldnt stand the smell anymore. Truly a disappointment. Waste of money.

Fantastic little place.Cozy, reasonable prices for drinks.The beer garden is the perfect place to meet up with friends, relax, and have a beer.Staff was friendly and helpful. The facilities was clean and will keptWhen the band starts playing there isnt a bad place in the house.Will absolutely visit again.

Excellent food here. Came the other night with a few of my friends and had a super relaxed time and the service was great. The number 22 pizza was my favourite. I also found the food prices to be reasonable. Will be returning. Just love The High Dive. It’s funky with a great atmosphere alongside tasty pizza and a great selection of drinks. I look forward to this place each time I visit Edinburgh - you cannot go past it. Friendly hosts including an amazing lady from New Zealand. Highly recommended!

Amazing show, awesome people.. Good drinks. Will definately go again.

A spacious area for a smallish venue. Staff was pleasant and patrons were all friendly and dancing. This place gets bonus points for having Jell-O shots on deck.

I have never been disappointed when I see a show here. They run a good sound system. Bar prices are good for a live venue and the bartenders are friendly and attentive.

This place is pretty cool. The bands they have are good and I like the intimate setting, because its pretty small. On the flip side its size makes it feel crowded sometimes.

Great venue for local music and shows. The sound and lighting system is amazing for the size of the place, and having an inside and outside bar is a great idea. Only downside is that the entrance is in a strange location and hard to find of you have never been there before. Highly recommend

Great sounding venue for all genres of music. I was at a 5 hour blues bash on Sunday hosted by The Bridget Kelly Band from Gainsville and it was an awesome night. The sound guy knows his stuff and the staff was very friendly. Always fun

Great staff, safe and friendly

Usually go to a handful of shows each semester and it’s always a great time. You can see the bands well from pretty much anywhere. Drink prices are good. Save some $$ by buying tix at the venue in advance rather than online

The Atmosphere show was amazing. Great venue!

Great muaic venue. The sound is great and the inside is bigger than what it seems from the outside. The outdoor patio is pretty comfortable with lots of places to sit.

Drinks werent too pricey, nice venue for a concert and the staff were very helpful.

Great venue, awesome staff, and amazing shows! Check their site and watch what amazing experiences they bring to Gainesville!

I liked the large stage for live music but its not anything special. Concrete floors for easy clean up and seating along the walls for wall flowers. The outside area is much nicer. As I said, nothing special that sets it apart from any other bar with live music.

Last night’s Perpetual Groove show was best dance concert in history of this universe. Cutting edge arrangements like never heard before. Perfectly crafted and presented. The hero’s journey guided in the ever-evolving grooves. And perfect was good enough. From the first epiphany through the generous encore hour(s) plus later. Incredibly compelling; but true.

Terrible venue, no air circulation so it’s awfully hot. I saw a concert there recently and felt like I was in a sauna by the end. Rude employees. My girlfriend wasn’t given a wrist band at the entrance and they threatened to kick her out off of one of their employee’s mistakes. It was ridiculous.

Great staff and location. Good stage and listening area. Outside bar area. Limited parking area on site.

Awesome show, Scots is amazing. Great time with great friends!

Fest was great. Terrific lineup. Well organized event, tons of fans, pretty well behaved.

Maybe the best place in Gainesville for live music.

Great place to hear some music and other local acts. Good drinks and fair prices. Great bartenders and friendly staff.

Great overall sound and atmosphere. Have seen lots of great shows booked here. Bar always seems to serve in a timely manner even with large crowds. Could use a dedicated sound engineer on the board and drinks are a little expensive. All in all, highly recommend checking out a show here.

Great place to drink and listen to music . Although some of the staff could be a lot friendlier

Very intimate venue, you can get within inches of the bands. Friendly staff and reasonable drink prices. Why do I watch this year only problem I found was expecting a band to be as popular as it was 20 years ago LOL . At least I got out of the apartment

They have music venues for any and everyone. Different things are happening there all the time. I just came back from a local rock show and everyone was super nice and chill.

Everytime I go to the place its always a blast. Good music and company. Sometimes there a food truck there. When you catch it there GOALS! They have good prices on drinks there too. The tickets are good prices as well.

Absolutley amazing venue! We saw The Marcus King Band. They rocked. Plenty of parking around the corner if not in the lot. Pizza place next door that the venue will let you bring in to eat. Good vibes. Good time.

This bar is a fantastic local hub for music and performances. It always has a stacked venue and the actual location is nicely located just outside of downtown. With very reasonable ticket prices and a good selection of craft brews this is a wonderful place to visit if youre looking for a quick drink or a nice night.

There for Fest. Sound was great, and service was quick, despite the mobs. Cant wait to come back next year!

Excellent service, great venue, awesome atmosphere! Robert DeLong was great! Love the events!

This place has been around for ever just has changed names a few times over the past 30 years. The High dive has a great variety of acts and weve always had a wonderful time. Good prices on booze and beer.

Nope didnt go hacked into my acct

Great stage and room. Awesome outdoor area/bar

I appreciated the people manning bag check in , they were nice. Awesome venue

Cozy music venue. Great treatment from the staff before & after arriving. We have fun every visit. Only improvement, so far, is the need for handicapped parking near venue. Parking blocks away is so inappropriate for a 100% disabled veteran and spouse whos chronic pain makes going out near impossible already.

Off the chain great rap concert 386 music

Best venue in Gainesville to check out local and touring shows of all genres. The staff is pretty awesome too! Andddd theres so much more to this place you just have to go see for yourself.

Nice place to watch bands play. Love the atmosphere. However, the drinks and cover are always a bit too high.

Its a great venue for music and live shows

They have a great bar here that hosts a lot of fun bands and events. Ive been to one show here when I was underage, so I didnt try any of the alcoholic drinks. And it was way too loud for comfort, while sitting inside to listen to the bands playing that night. But maybe if you bring earplugs, it would be more enjoyable.

Live music, friendly staff, and a great bar. Always something going on here on the weekends. I especially enjoy when they have food truck rallys. Ive gone to several concerts at this location (Manic Focus, Japanese Breakfast, and a few others). Ive always felt safe and had a great time.

Fest punch. Ray Bottlerocket in a white leather jacket. You da best High Dive

Hot AF. How? Why? Why do we pay money to sweat sitting down? Do what you needed to do to get it reasonable comfortable for patrons.

What a great time! Will definitely be back for more events!

Little bit of a grunge bar or the venue. Really popular bands that put on some awesome performances. I really like this place a lot

Loved it. Small venue so it was great seeing The Lacs, and Friends. Not much seating which is a bummer. My wife really needed a seat. No VIP section for any seating either. Paid extra for nothing but loved the show and would return for shows that Im interested in seeing. Parking garage for a small few behind the small parking lot they have.

I look forward to coming to this place every Fest! Great staff, great drinks and great shows!

As an artist who played here, I cannot recommend it highly enough to touring performers. Great communication, great promo, super staff, solid tech, and an all-around kickass venue!

Had way too much fun here!

Good sized venue. Lots of nice views of the stage. Indoor and outdoor bars. Overall a great place to see a band, but be prepared to sweat endlessly if you go in the summer. No fans. Seemingly no AC. Absolutely no air flow. Its incredibly hot. Impressively sweltering. Its not surprising to be hot if the summer in Florida in a crowded venue, but this is another level.

Great place been going to it for years. Friendly staff,

I went near there for the annual vintage market and during the day it kinda looks sketchy. I am sure at night when there is music and lots of people, it is more enjoyable and fun.

This used to be a cool hangout now its like an old folks home for rock.

I like High Dive as a venue, its a nice space to watch a show, and the outdoor bar/seating is lovely on a nice night. Their drinks are pricey and the parking situation is terrible, I always end up parking in the parking garage, because even when I get there early theres no free spots I can find. Staff is friendly enough.

Saw the Hodge twins comedy show, second time seeing them. The show was awesome, laughed from the beginning until the end :) . If they come to a city near you, please attend and show your support. Very nice show Keith and Kevin

Great staff, great calendar of events coming up. Drove an hour and a half each way for a touring band and loved the whole experience.

We had a groupon for a magic show. They said 8pm on the groupon but the event didnt start till 9! Other than that, it was a great time!

Lovely place - reminds me of punk Rock bars in the early 90s

Awesome Venue, big ups to them for supporting the local artists!!

Music venue, ONCE MY OWN

There are a lot of fun events to catch here. The tickets and drinks are reasonably priced. If there isnt a vendor out front selling food five star is right around the corner. Also, really close to downtown.

Great place in Gainesville for live music and a good selection of drinks.

Was very nice band was very good

Too hot too dirty wont be back

Fun, great atmosphere, and thoughtful staff.

Lots of great shows here. Super spacious venue and nice staff.

Nice place and great venue for the very funny improv performers from the Gainesville Improv Guild and visiting from Sanford,FL Lets Get Real.

The place was great and the bartender was great she made some good drinks for me and my husband

Cool place to hang out. They dont master the music well and it can sound very muffled at times.

Awesome EFEN was Rockin as usual and Adam from Puddle of Mud was Rockin as well we had a very good time thanks for the awesome night out we will be back again

Formerly the Covered Dish. Rock. Gainesville rock. Make sure you take a look at the old poster hall of fame over by the bathrooms. A Gville music history lesson.

Great staff and fantastic hospitality if youre in a band. Sound guy is a very nice man.

Really great smedium venue. Awesome character and perfect sound system for the size.

Excellent venue if you want to get a close-up and personal experience with the band. Awesome sound system and the staff was very friendly.

Muy hot and not enough seating or tables to linger at, pero I like.

Great place, intimate and Fun!

Fun place to hang out

Super cool venue! We saw the coolest band in America last night, JD Mcpherson! What a rockin place!

Nice and open, but it wouldnt be a bad idea to bring ear plugs during live concerts for ear protection.

I havent been out to hear live music in ages. I heard Savant of Soul. They were great. Plus a very laid-back environment

Small venue thats pretty hip. Sound wasnt melt your ears loud but still sounded good. Downsides: the a/c felt like it was barely even on. No air movement at all so in the summer its torture being in there. Would recommend they at least put some fans or something up.

We went to see a show by a very talented solo guitarist. This is not a hard rock show, this is a man who can make a guitar play the most amazing range of sounds. The sound crew at High Dive was awful. All three performing acts had feedback issues, mic issues, balance issues. Maybe these issues arent as noticeable for loud bands that dont have the intricate composition of Andy McKees songs, but it was incredibly frustrating that they continued to have issues that they werent able to correct by the end of the hours long show.

Loved it. Definitely coming back

Great small venue, the space used to be pretty limited but they renovated and updated the layout to provide more space for standing room. Good beer, good music, and when theres food trucks, good food.

AMAZING EXPERIENCEI have been to see several great artists, great sound, great everything

An iconic music venue not to be missed, High Dive used to be called Common Grounds. Its away from the noise and what not of Main Street but still very easy to get to. They also have a Beer Garden that requires no cover most of the time.

Great shows! Great facility, great fun!

Husband played a gig here. Cool space to chill.

Will not go back... The music was great but the bartender she wasnt a good bartender cause she acted like she didnt know how to make a drink. And was rude when handing the card back.

Most amazing venue

Great acoustics for a small/medium-small music venue. Fresh flow of local Gainesville brews with a few custom cocktails at the bar. Cute and quirky beer garden outside. Overall just a really fun place to see concerts from local (Flipturn) to international (The Struts) bands!

High dive gets great artists but drinks are pricey and the $15 card minimum is a little extravagant.

Nice place. The drinks were way too expensive. The show was cool.

Small quaint and a friendly atmosphere.

Spinach and cheese calzone was amazing. You can never gp wrong here.

Dump. mean management
