In Short
One side of the club is festooned with enormous glass and sheet-metal sconces. The bar is illuminated with icy-blue hanging lamps and a psychedelic wall projection. Flavoring the usual bar choices is a selection of blue-collar beers (Pearl, Pabst Blue Ribbon, Lone Star) to keep it real. Patrons range from voting age to tattooed Generation Y. The mainstream jukebox is a weak match to the college-rock tastes of the collective, but focus here is on the live music.

This is a great bar or host to local and out of town events. This bar has been around a long time and still is the home of many lcal underground artists. The venue is open with room to dance. It has also been known to host a few small convention events. If you looking for a good place to get your name out there this is the place for you. If you love up and coming artists, local stars, great sound, unbeliveable lights and good music this is the place for you.

I've been going to the engine room on and off for over a year, and I've never been disappointed. In fact, when I saw Eyes Adrift, I was in heaven. I got to meet Krist Noveselic of Nirvana and I got to sit on the stage while they were playing, so it was like total band/audience intimacy; which is the best part about the engine room. It's not all crappy and commercial, it's what downtown music should be like; fun, different, and easily accesible. I'll definitely be back.

The Engine Room is a great venue to see some great up-and-coming bands as well as a few well established ones. The sound system is superb!
