Editorial Review for Warehouse Live – by Andrea Loera

In Short
Inside a converted 1920's era warehouse is one of Houston's more modern, mid-sized concert venues. Featuring touring acts from Sonic Youth to Pink, this repurposed building boasts a large stage area and sharp sound and lighting systems. The 1,500-capacity venue ballroom has two bars, one of which opens up into a cozier more club-like venue named Studio for smaller rock and hip-hop performances. The crowd varies depending on the event, but count on a good show.

User Reviews for Warehouse Live

5 Star Rating: Highly Recommended

04/18/2008 Posted by laurenlrw

I really don't know how this place has gotten so many bad reviews. This is, hands down, the best club-level venue in Houston. Both the security and bar staffs are incredibly friendly and do their jobs well. The drinks are reasonably priced. It's exceptionally clean inside, so consider thanking the cleaning staff instead of thinking they are annoying. The sound and lights are generally great, there is seating available in the studio during shows in the ballroom, and they bring in GREAT acts. The only real downfall is the smoking area due to the recent smoking ban, but they are working on that. This is THE best place to see a show in Houston!

Pros: Sound, lights, music, staff, drinks, prices, clean

Cons: Smoking area

1 Star Rating: Not Recommended

1. They had one guy with a security wand scanning 2000 people and one guy taking tickets as well. 2. The venue is one floor. No flat screens, and the sound quality is horrible. Security guards are NOT nice if you are on the rail and trying to see the stage. Don't expect to actually see the act you paid to see, or hear them for that matter, as the sound quality is horrible. 3. Smoking area is a joke. It's a 10 minute walk to the outside smoking area that's available to patrons and there's no bar available. 4. Buy your tickets for House of Blues in Austin or Dallas and make the drive.. This place is horrible, and it's no wonder that Houston can't attract real talent on a regular basis.

Pros: Nothing

Cons: Extremely crowded, no flat screen tvs, awful security and expensive drinks.
