Not happy with them at all....change concert at last minute
1 Star Rating: Not Recommended

04/09/2008 Posted by Gugi

I have read the reviews on Club Cafe and sometimes I wonder if we've been to the same place. I find the place very crowded and I had to stand for over two hours, not dance, not walk, just stand to listen to someone. I had tickets for the Carrie Newcomer concert for tomorrow (4/10/08). I received a notice this morning that the concert had changed and that two other acts had been added to the bill. The show was to start at 7:30 pm. With two opening acts, that means Carrie probably would not perform until at least 9:15. if I had to stand I would be standing for an hour and 45 minutes before the act I paid to see would come one. That may be fine for some people, but when you need to be up by 5 am (some of us are just poor working stiffs.) it presents an uncomfortable situation. What upsets me is I've been looking forward to this concert since January and now, I'm not going. I also find the atmosphere of Club Cafe to be a bit dark and dingy. It is not a concert venue. It reminds me more of an old smoky blues club. From time to time, Club Cafe will bring a decent act; however, I won't be there.
