Neumos

Incredible “up close and personal” venue to see a show. We saw Paw Paw Rod who was an incredible entertainer, as well as his band really jammin’ on guitars, keyboard and drums! Paw Paw Rod even came into the crowd after the show and he was so nice and grateful as he talked to fans. It was also nice to be able to order food and have it delivered to our table next door before the show. Great venue 10/10 recommend.

I've attended 2 concerts at Neumos so far. OTEP in 2017 & bôa with Sea Lemon in 2024. For the majority of the show, I spent time downstairs for OTEP (all ages, standing room only) & upstairs on the balcony for bôa (21+ bar with seated and standing options but limited visibility + tv screens to compensate). The drinks are expensive but not overly ridiculous for a concert (NO cash). The security was friendly, quick & efficient. I appreciated how firm they were with not allowing alcohol in the all ages main area and having guard(s) posted at each entry throughout the entire show. Packed standing room only downstairs leads to sore feet & getting pretty hot/uncomfortable. I wasn't 21 yet in 2017 so I didn't have the option to go upstairs or sit down. They do offer water downstairs, which is extremely helpful. The bathrooms were basic but without any glaring problems. Buying merch is way easier to do before the show starts due to awkward placement of merch tables. The layout of the balcony is awkward but it seems like they've tried to make the best with what the building architecture allows. Much of the balcony has limited view and depending on the vibe of attendees, you may not see anything below due to the crowd that forms at the banister. But they have plenty of seating options upstairs and the live feed TVs they have placed are great quality and allow you to see the stage clearly while listening to the music. It's located in Capitol Hill so if you're not acquainted with busy city antics be prepared for busyness, the occasional sirens/screaming/yelling and possibly being approached. There's plenty of food/drink/cool things to do within waking distance and the public transport into the area is fairly user-friendly/frequent/reliable. bôa was sold out and the line to get inside before the show wrapped around the block in front of other businesses, so make sure to not stand in doorways. I bought tickets online through AXS and entry at the door was a breeze. They allowed re-entry which is fairly rare these days and MUCH appreciated. They also allowed non-clear bags (they were searched) but that may be different at the event you go to. I recommend you bring a handheld fan, if you're downstairs or get warm easily 🥵🪭 Overall, I prefer to attend concerts at Neumos compared to larger venues as it provides a more intimate experience.

Great venue. I've caught a few shows here and it's been great every time. Bar tenders make good drinks. They do have metal detectors at the door, so be sure to leave any knifes in the car.

We went to Barboza, the sister music venue to Seattle’s legendary larger Neumos, to hear NYC band Sid Simon. It’s a fun basement bar and club with a capacity of 200 people; there are several round booths and tables and a bar. The stage is at the end of the rail car shaped room. We went to Neumos first where band was listed as playing so I’m guessing it’s all connected and maybe same Owner. There is a chicken take out place next door where young people (I’m 55) were getting a pre show meal. Love the vibe on Capitol Hill!

Enjoyed the Sheepdogs show at this venue. Sound was good. Just an okay beer selection. Conveniently walking distance from the Cap Hill light rail station.

My friend and I went to Neumos for the first time last night to see the Beaches and we were really impressed with the venue. We got in really fast and the staff seemed very organized in comparison to other venues we’ve been to. The bathrooms seemed really clean too. It’s a small and intimate space which was cool for seeing one of my favorite bands up close. The sound was also really good and it was sold out yet it didn’t feel overcrowded. The only downside is that there’s not a ton of parking close to the venue. We parked at Bank of America around a ten minute walk away and just got a Lyft to the venue and back which wasn’t a big deal. We’ll definitely come back if someone’s performing there that we want to see.

Great, intimate venue! The sound quality was superb and the lighting was fantastic. The staff were friendly, the venue was clean and had great air flow, so it didn't get too hot. Upstairs has TVs showing the stage, so you can see no matter where you are!

This place routinely will have service fees that cost more than the tickets themselves. I wanted to buy NYE party tickets and I kid you not the “service fee” for simply purchasing the ticket costs more than the tickets itself. Absolutely nuts. Just today I checked to see if there were any events that might be fun and I stumbled onto their Sticky event with music from Tyler the Creator. Guess what? Same deal. Out of principle I will not visit this establishment until they get rid of these hidden junk fees. Stop preying on people. If you need more money then raise the cost of the ticket. Show some backbone and be transparent with your customers. Gross behavior from a gross venue.

Went to my first event at Neumos last night and had a great time seeing Mark Ambor. Stood in line outside waiting for doors opens and felt security was communicative and efficient in getting people in once doors opened. This was an all ages event and was able to go upstairs to grab a drink. We also were able to snag a table so spent most of the concert upstairs. I do recommend if you want to have a better view of the artist to get upstairs quick and grab a table at the railing. Being a new venue for us we missed that, but there were other table available and we just had to stand up and move toward the railing to try and get a view when we wanted it. I appreciated the two one person stall bathrooms upstairs that never seemed overcrowded, the cups for water available to all, etc. overall a pleasant experience and I'd go to this venue again.

I purchased tickets to see an artist. I showed up a little bit before last call. They would not let me in. Yes, I was on the later end of the night. I didn't need to buy a drink but the artist was still playing. Wasted money on tickets and the time to get there. Oh, well. No fault on the staff - they're just following rules. The rules by the owner(s) do not make any sense. I will easily avoid seeing artists there. Hopefully, future artists that I want to see can find other venues. Neumos is a waste of time and money. If you must see an artist there - show up way ahead of time. Not something you have to worry about at other venues but I guess it's a thing at Neumos.

went during some charlie xcx brat themed night and wow that was not a good set lol. like they'd edged you with a good song like fergalicious and then completely cut off the song and play something random. I could tell I wasn't the only one who disliked it bc I watched several people leave and the venue was never full, always only half at best. 1/10, 11pm. whoever this dj was im sorry this wasn't it. wish we were at barboza lmao. including video so you can see what the music was like THE WHOLE NIGHT

HORRIBLE!!!!! This place is so unwelcoming it's no even funny! The workers suck so hard, they look like they don't want to their job and look so miserable. I got kicked out cuz I was "over served" but I completely remember everything especially the part when I got escorted out without my purse and jacket. They also literally forced me to sit in a chair OUTSIDE in the cold without my jacket and I was completely separated from my friends, they had no idea where I went. Basically they targeted me, and watched me and felt the need to kick me out because I was funner than everyone. Also not to mention, I made no scene at all. I was not screaming, I did not get sick, and I did not fall over into anyone. I literally just drank and danced and chilled. Hate this place.

Wrongfully dismissed from this place because of poor security . No communication from the owners of this company . I am in the process of bringing up lawful charges . Do not come here under any circumstance !

I found out about the Taylor Swift dance party that happened on April 7th and as a huge swiftie, I had to check it out. The tickets weren't expensive, with all taxes and charges, it was about 17$. I was able to get in easily, the staff was super nice and friendly. The dance night was lit, and the DJ did an amazing job and was energetic. The sound system and lighting were on spot. The ventilation was good too. I ground floor was the dance floor area, and the first floor had a good amount of seating. I don't have any complaints based on this visit. The night was amazing and would come back again for sure. There is only street parking near this place.

This is 2 stars for the venue, not the musicians. They have really great shows but the venue is pretty stressful. Under 21 can attend concerts - we are talking 9 and 10 year olds. So drinks can only be had upstairs, instead of on the floor during the concert. It gets extremely hot in there, and extremely smelly. The smell and lack of ventilation really make it hard for me to completely enjoy myself. Drinks are VERY expensive - like $16-$18 a piece, for anything.

Nice, helpful, and friendly security people (compared to other places) and good sound. It's small, but I liked that better so there wasn't so many people crammed into one little space. Bands were respectful and there wasn't any drunk idiots like I always come across at the Shobox. Great venue !

I think this venue is good size for concert or event and yet feel it intimate. Their is kind of a loft upstairs but it wasn't open when I went there. I guess you won't be able to watch the performance downstairs if it gets busy upstairs. There were five tables downstairs on the sides. It wouldn't matter because everybody was in the middle singing and dancing. Good acustic. I guess the rest of the sound would be on hands of each performer's team. They had a small bar near the other exit. I would stick to the list because when asking for an old fashioned, they didn't have orange juice. But the more interesting part in winter is that it gets cold. This was the first time I was wearing a jacket for a concert. It usually gets warm. I can't decide if I liked it or not. But definitely don't like that cold inside in a concert. We can see there was a window there. Wind comes I. Through it. Don't know how but it was cooler near it. I guess it will be perfect on spring or summer. Restrooms are on the left and backstage, shower and dressing room and the right from the stage. Security staff was very nice, polite, and friendly. Thanks for your help!

Neumos for a show was my third date with a girl. The show was initially sold out, I reached out to the management offering to help setup, or cleanup, or professionally shoot the show. They responded much to my surprise and said if I wanted it that bad... enjoy the show and two tickets would be waiting for me at will call. We've been happily married for 11 years now and have a 5 year old who loves to dance and sing. We still keep the songs we heard that night on rotation. Thank you Neumos. You were unknowingly a major part of writing our initial love & life story.

I really enjoyed my experience at Neumos. I went for the Saltburn themed dance party, the music was great and the bartenders were very efficient - keeping the lines for drinks going quickly. I also love the upstairs area they have. They were well staffed which made it feel safe. Also, I wanted to share a specific experience I had when I was there that I felt was really important: I was in line for the bathroom and a guy came up to me, got in my space and was being really weird. One of the workers saw this happen and asked if I knew the guy, to which I replied no. The worker immediately went up to him and scolded him for being creepy and let him know that they would kick him out if they saw it again. Then the worker told me to let someone know if he approached me again. I really appreciated the workers looking out, I will be back to Neumos for sure!

Long line but very cool 2 levels and drinks weren't that pricey. overall cool experience but the line was crazy

Neumos. You are a Capitol Hill institution. Yet you support racist fans and musicians. We approached by my two security that we had noise complaints by the sound mixer in the back. BECAUSE WE WERE ASIAN. BECAUSE WE WERE MINORITIES (we were 2% of minorities at the concert). We were quieter than all the white people around us but we were singled, called out. And... he was wearing headphones the whole time!!!! The security officers then explained they 'don't see an issue with our behavior but they had to tell us'. Mitt romney's sound mixer targeted us. No apology. No explanation. Nothing.

So first, covid reopenings are hard to navigate. I get that. However, I bought tickets days in advance for the lizzo dance party/drag show, only to get sent to the back of a line wrapping around the block where the girls in front of me didn't even know what they were waiting for. They clearly sold more tickets than they could accomodate, just letting people go in and not calibrating headcount to include tickets previously sold. After a 45 minute wait where the line didn't move, my cousin and I just went to another bar. I feel pretty robbed from the $5+3 x 2 that I paid to not go in... I heard from some girls at lost lakes that the show was really disappointing. In spite of names of lots of drag queen performances, it sounds like it wasn't a cohesive show, and they ended up not performing until closer to midnight. I don't think I would recommend neumos to a friend anymore... not a good experience.

I visited Neumos for the first time tonight to see Ginger Root and Middle Kids. Great venue and good lighting/sound; the upstairs even has TVs playing the concert so you can always watch the show no matter where you sit. I managed to snag a great corner table by the rails, and was able to have a clear view of the musicians from upstairs. The only down sides to this venue is parking is horrible and the drinks here are watery.

This was our home base for Bloc Party. Their staff seemed to have their act together more than any of the other spots on the hill. Bartenders are quick and friendly. Good classic Cap Hill atmosphere. Sound is pretty decent too

Great venue! Non smoking, plenty of viewing areas, nice staff. Sound is great. Drink prices were on par with the area it's in. Only downside is this place is hotter than then hinges of hell. Hydrate lots before the concert and dress accordingly.

Went to kpop night, said they would play bts but didn't. Now at nicki minaj night and no Nicki insight. Need better djs fr

I saw BLP kosher and it was a very good concert, I liked the stage and ambiance. The only thing i'd say is that they say no smoking yet the whole venue smelled like weed. The security was very nice and welcoming.

I wish I could give negative stars. Do not waste your money. We paid for tickets to a dance show at 10pm, and the venue did not open until 11:30. Once we got there, there was no one there and they did not even play the music that was advertised. Completely dead club, bad dj, and waste of time. But it gets worse! Half of our party stepped outside for some air, and the bouncer would not let them back in besides the fact that they had been stamped and showed their tickets! The manager came over and said that one member of our party was causing trouble on an earlier night and was not allowed back in, and this was completely false because we had never been there! We were extremely polite and did not want to cause trouble, but when the manager and bouncer wouldn't budge, we had to leave. Total waste of time and money!!

We came here to see Immortal Technique and he did not disappoint. From the opening acts to the star of the show was great! Sound was good, but it's a tiny place so expect to be shoulder to shoulder with your fellow people. You are in the middle of Capitol Hill and surrounded by bums and such as you wait in line to be let inside. There are also a lot of great pre-show places to eat or grab a drink near by or grab a drink at their bar.

Neumos does not enforce their mask policy. The best thing about live music is also the worst thing: the other concertgoers. They're essential for that live energy and atmosphere, but you're also stuck with their bad behavior. I was here on 11/2 to see one of my favorite bands perform live and have a good time. However, even during the opener's set, I could see a notable amount of people not wearing masks or wearing them but just on their chin, which is the same thing. Between sets, I talked to staff and was told that yes, they do have a mask policy, yes, it is being enforced, and yes, security would walk around and make sure that people were abiding by it. However, that didn't happen, and throughout the rest of the night, I could see that around 20-30% of people were not wearing masks. The reprehensible attitude of the non-maskers aside, the onus is on Neumos. What's the point of having a mask policy if it's not going to be enforced? People can walk in wearing a mask, then just take it off once inside with no consequences, not even a warning. It's really unfair to everyone else who is doing their part. So the policy is just lip service.

The bouncers at this place are head tripping power trippers. They denied entry for my girlfriend and I for having an empty cup in my hand while standing in line to get in for a reggae concert. How more chill can someone be for a reggae concert?? Practically every concert I've attended for 20+ years I've ditched a cup at the gate/door with zero problem and then I come to this place, where I haven't visited since before the pandemic first started and they don't let me in the venue. Not even given an opportunity to ditch the empty cup. It's not like I was going to try to walk in with it! I was completely speechless by the behavior of the bouncers at this place. I was honestly speechless. I paid good, honest, hard earned money for my tickets to a show that I was so excited for and it was all wasted because of a poor decision made by a novice bouncer. I can not ever allow myself to visit this place again on principle. I am sad.

Had one of my worst experience here. DO NOT GO! Racist staff kicked me out when I was minding my own business. I asked What I did wrong and they couldn't answer. These guys are scammers taking your money at the door and then kicking you out right away.

Saw badflower here last night and it's the nicest small venue I've been in Seattle! I love that it has a disco ball, and down stairs is pretty roomy. They also have an upstairs that looked nice and you're able to see the stage from up there. All the staff we encounter was really nice! I would definitely come back to this venue.

Great venue!! Awesome staff! Really enjoyed the concert and how it was managed! I can't wait to go again.

This is a small, intimidate venue that hosts fun events like Emo Nite. If you're planning on going, get your tickets in advance because when we went it was sold out and the line was so long it went down the block and people were waiting for a hot minute. If there was a coat check, we didn't see one and several people put their coats on the floor, so just something to be aware of! Along with a bar across from the door when walking in, there is a bar out the hallway just past the bathrooms, and both have paper cups with water (the one in the back is nice for a breather though since it's quieter with booths and ice colder water). They stamp your wrist and check the stamp when going back in. You can bring a bag they'll just look through it first.

dope venue, smaller side. definitely more intimate setting. Saw spacey jane, they were good

They treated me with the most disrespect that I've ever experienced at an establishment in my life, I wouldn't recommend this place to anybody, the bartenders are the worst bartenders I've ever encountered in my life. DONT GO HERE! Literally the most nasty people I've ever had serve me in my life. I was trying to have a civil conversation with the bar tenders, and they treated me like garbage. I will never recommend this place to anyone. Don't go here

first off, play Lizzo if you're gonna have a Lizzo night. It's pride bitch. I didn't pay $51 for two mid drinks (fucking outrageous) to shake my ass to some straight girlie music. bartenders were rude and brought the vibe down tremendously.

Saw Broods, it was awesome. No Neumos doesn't have seating unless the upstairs is open, (don't understand why that's expected) but you're able to be right in front of who you came to see. I was able to see the entire show and got to high five the artist twice. It was a great show and i love intimate venues like that, they make for really cool opportunities/experiences. Staff is great if u follow the rules, much like any venue. apparently people don't understand that drinking out on the street isn't allowed here lol (this isnt vegas this is WA) so no they wont let you in, sorry kiddos.

Security is overly aggressive here. Some other people had been drinking and were leaning against a gate, occasionally causing it to move slightly. Security dude was convinced that I was the one guilty of this atrocity and yelled at me repeatedly in the middle of the band's set, to the point were heads were turning. I'm sure this detracted from the several audience members' experience (and certainly my own). I firmly told the guard that I wasn't the one doing it and he kicked me out of the show. I was stone cold sober for the experience, no exaggeration here. This was for Andy Shauf back in late January or so.

Truth be told probably more of a 3.5 review for me. I went here last weekend to see Tricky. Trying to see this musician has been a really long term goal of mine. Many, many, many years ago when I still lived in Denver I was going to go see him but the musician had customs issues and never returned for a tour date in Denver when I lived there. He has put out several albums since then and has toured the United States (Tricky is British) but either stuck to the west coast or the east coast and never came to Middle America. It's been five years since I lived in Washington state and at long last a tour date was announced for Seattle and I finally got to see him! A big "check" on the bucket list. The opening act, Pure Magic was very good and Tricky himself was excellent but the show was very dark. Meaning very little lighting during his entire performance on the stage and his two encores. That had nothing to do with the venue but how the musician wanted to present himself but other people complained about it too. The Neumos venue itself isn't bad. It has a good, intimate setting and there is an upstairs where you can sit. Both levels have a bar. The service itself by the staff? Well some of it it is definitely hit and miss. I saw that Tricky was not selling much for swag (t-shirts) but I saw that Neumos sold their own swag. I really liked a hoodie that they had on display. I went up to the bar where the hoodie was displayed above and a bartender that was filling in for the regular bartender said that I had to "go across the hallway to get the hoodie". This bartender worked at the nearby Runaway as I saw her go back in one of their entrances which was connected to Neumos. So I imagine the same owner has both places. I asked a security guy that worked for Neumos and he didn't really know where the hoodies and t-shirts were other than they were in the store room. (Sigh) When I went back to the downstairs bar the regular bartender was back and I asked her about the hoodie in which she said that they were all sold out. Though I didn't get the answer I wanted she was the most knowledgeable one that I interacted with here. I would go back for another show. I liked the venue well enough but I'm not too sure I want to ask the staff too many questions for fear of being sent on a wild goose chase since quite a few staff members don't fully know the layout of where everything is at their work.

Place is just dirty, you can tell they don't clean or take pride in the space. There is dust that looks like it hasn't been touched in 10 years. Super hard to get anywhere, bar or bathroom (disaster), when it's packed. Literally can't move. Bartender was nice but drinks sucked (my beer was warm), security is extremely rude and pushy. Waiting in line outside is horrible as they take as poor care inside this place as outside. Human waste, garbage, and pools of water on a rainy day dot the landscape. No attempt by management to clean. You would think they would pressure wash before a big show, knowing people have to wait in that mess. Bad, lazy, and cheap management is clearly the issue here. I wouldn't want my kids here, nor take my friends, especially with how much they charge, that's the biggest problem. They charge like it is this top notch spot and well taken care of. Find a better venue to watch a show at.

Pretty chill place, nice small venue. Great drinks, and great people. I would definitely return.

Went here with some of my friends for Emo Nite and one of the bartenders was rude to every single one of us for the entire night, the other 3 bartenders were really kind but the one guy was so dismissive to us, rolled his eyes at every drink order we made & insinuated we were stupid when we couldn't hear him over the loud music. Literally tainted the entire event experience & we left early because we couldn't order a drink from his line without having a bad interaction.

My first time at this venue was this evening to see Julia Michaels. It's general admission, so no seating, and spots closest to the stage are first-come, first-served. The bar is located on the mezzanine. Well drinks are $7.75 as of this show, this evening (4/7/19), which is a bit steep to me. (I'm hearing that the prices vary per show.) Low lighting provides the perfect atmosphere for a concert venue. If you can snag a good spot right up against the mezzanine railing, you'll have an amazing overhead view of the stage.

Neumos always host the best events, like THE OFFICE TRIVIA! People came decked out in costume, the place was decorated, and there were drink specials, all relating to The Office. It was fun! And speaking of trivia - they have Trivia Tuesday every week, featuring popular TV shows and movies, so there's something for everyone to check out. There are always small shows performing here, mainly independent artists, which I dig, and themed dance parties, like '90's night or Britney v. Beyonce Battles! Tickets for any of the events can be purchased online, but also at The Runaway next door. Plus, there's Bok a Bok service here. There are two floors to Neumos, so when it gets crowded where the main stage is - people can head upstairs for some booth and table seating and an upstairs bar. And it's a 21+ venue. Overall, I always have a fun time at Neumos, especially during their themed events! It's worth being on their e-newsletter just for those!

Everything about this venue is disappointing. I have put up with a lot to see good shows and have a high threshold for crowds and inconveniences. Space is very limited, flow is terrible to the point that it actually feels unsafe to join the crowd, restroom system is a mess, 50% of the staff is rude or confusing in regards to crowd control, scanning tickets and ID'ing is super spotty, sound isn't great. I would only go if I really really wanted to see the band and they weren't playing in BC.

I really enjoy Neumos! I went for a Hip-Hop benefit concert and had a blast here. The sound throughout the venue is great. The lighting on stage is spectacular and they have a nice upstairs area. I went to an all ages show that had the upstairs for 21+. Downstairs no alcohol was allowed, which was kind of a bummer but I did find a nice spot to watch the show by the rail. Drink prices were reasonable. It was a sold out show, but there was still plenty of room to move around and find a good area to watch the performances. Nemos is located on Capitol Hill. A smaller venue named Barboza can be found underneath Neumos. I definitely will be back here! Staff were friendly and it was quick to get in and out of the venue, which is always great.

Their security needs a training on what different kinds of federal IDs looks like. My friend wasn't let in for showing his US issued employment authorization??? - keep in mind he had 0 issues with TSA. It was very much a case of "I've never seen that so therefore it must not exist" he wouldn't even take the time for a single google search that would have shown that indeed his ID was legit. Pretty disappointing.

Neumos is one of the premier live music clubs in Seattle, and it's legit one of my favorites to play!! Everyone is so nice and chill, great security and an all around awesome vibe! Highly recommend!

Honestly they rip you off so bad with the drinks. 2 10oz beers was $15.50 then one Long Island was $14.00. I suggest getting your tickets and stamp then go across the street to a bar to get drinks and come back. And it's not even a nice venue. If it wasn't for who I saw this would of been 1star. Never going there again.

Be on guard when you go here. Do not buy many drinks because the guards will kick you out. Decent place, if it wasn't ruined by those who do not know how to run a bar.

Neumos is a underrated place, I could say that I've seen a handful of bands. (That was the bands name. Lol. [Its believable]) ._. But why 3 stars tho?? ._. Welp, strap on to your hiking backpacks to *boomingly god voice* "REVIEW MOUNTAIN!" (*someone in the back saying "didnt someone die there."* shhh... ) Atmosphere: It's small, it's a smaller venue. (But not small stage like el corazon. You literal feel like a sardine in a can there! ._.) Theres two floors to view the stage. One at top (for the raging alcoholic people go and look down on the young with jealousy of the youth days!!! ... just me. Ok. O.O) it's been renovated and everything to the top is new. (Feels new.) The classy touch is the beer in ground. Looking down at the stage is limited view due to speakers blocking the stage. (Which they accommodated with tv screens of the stage throughout the bar. Now no longer be blinded by the giant speaker!! ._. The common neumos enemy.) Bathroom are gender neutral, but by god they didnt renovate that part. Get ready to hold it in. The bathrooms can be described as the back alley streets of the worst parts of Gotham city. (And somehow if you close your eyes.. you hear the distinct crying of an 8 year old boy losing his parents. ._.) Staff/Security: Is pretty friendly and never had a problem with them. Some just look like they want to get done with there shift and leave. (I wouldnt blame them. That's me on a daily basis.) Security is pretty loose and and relaxed but overall they do intervene if things get hairy. (Which that's the weirdest expression I ever heard. ._. Why hair?? The world may never know.) Sound/lighting: The sound is pretty good. I've had not had a problem. The speakers dont over power the room and you dont get that obnoxious feed back. (Like an over used speaker in a car.. while blasting rap music at 3 am in the morning. Who does that?!?! Crazy dumb people that dont have jobs.) I could say the atmosphere and light set up has never been issue and pretty subtle. Conclusion: Do you love the sudden trap underneath your shoes to not being able to move because someone named Ashley was too drunk to compose herself before the last band? A good selection of bands playing in a venue, good staff and ok security, great sound (that your grandma wouldnt approve of, and the most ghastly bathrooms you could ever want to place your two fluffy cushions on? Welp, come on down and grab a beer and let's wait for the next band play.

I love Neumos! Such a fun place to see a band. We were there on Halloween to see Tacocat and assorted opening acts. I reserved a table when I ordered tickets, and appreciated that they had an assigned table waiting for us - clearly marked with my name. The staff were really nice and helpful, pointing out where to go, since it was our first time there. Since we had the table, we had a server, who checked in with each break between acts to see if we needed anything. Food is available until 10pm from the chicken place next door. I had the chicken tacos, which were pretty tasty. My partner was unfortunately not crazy for his chicken sandwich. The venue is on the small side, and the overall vibe is just very silly and fun. I'm looking forward to my next show here!

concert i went to was good but the people running the place were way too strict. i understand them looking for everyone's safety but they ruined the vibe when i couldn't even have someone on my shoulders and when they constantly yelled at people to stop vaping during the show. they also got pissed at people who weren't even vaping and tried to kick them out. fun experience only because of the concert but they gotta let people have fun.

I'm a fan of this place because it's like a divey version of the House of Blues. In other words, it's a small venue with an upstairs from which you can view the band (and get drinks) and a downstairs that is small enough that, even in the back, you're not too far from the stage. That said, HOB has better acoustics and overall layout. I'm still a fan though and would head back. Just be advised: Parking sucks, so leave extra time to find something (and meters run until 10:00 pm). Bottom line: Check it out.

Went for their Halloween themed Guilty Pleasures party. The event required tickets (which thankfully they took at the door! And you could pay with card). Thankfully we got there a bit early so the line was short. Inside is a good sized dance floor with a stage at the far end. There are 2 bars downstairs (1 for beer, the other is a full bar). (Shhh- there's another bar and small dance area upstairs...keep it under ur hat or the line upstairs will match the line downstairs). The DJs were awesome, playing throwback 80s/90s/00s jams. Kept the whole room dancing all night. Will definitely be back to check out the regular Guilty Pleasures event
