500 23rd St SThis is our second favorite music venue. It has a couple of stages, but great acoustics and more importantly, seating.
This is our third favorite venue, built in an old fire station. Featuring GA seating with only a few tables, it still maintains that intimate setting that makes for great shows. The Grill at Iron City is the restaurant attached to the venue, which has great farm-to-table food and if you eat there the night of the show, you get early access to the venue to get a prime spot by the stage.
