My band just played a set there, I'd recommend anyone to not make a habit of it.
We arrived for load-in at the scheduled time and ended up waiting nearly an hour for someone to even open the door.
The sound-man was nearly two hours late.
The P.A. is absolutely terrible, no monitors, did not mic the amps or drums, and was not grounded properly giving our vocalists a shock every time they came within an inch of the mics.
The bar does absolutely no advertising for bands, yet takes 40% of the door.
They didn't even have someone on the door, and we ended up sending one of our friends around to collect the door charge so bands could actually get paid.
The bar itself has terrible service, taps running dry, plastic cups, and absolutely disgusting bathrooms.
Absolutely worst experience ever. I completely recommend anyone stay away from this place.

"24 beers on tap and about 12 more bottles."
Very False! There are only about 12 beers on tap (which run out halfway through the night), and NO BOTTLES! Even worse its $5 for a little PLASTIC CUP of beer, not a glass! The beer tastes like its watered down and the bartender is a complete bitch!!!
Awful place to hang out, even worse to bring friends from out of town!
I was completely embarrassed!

What a disaster! We had a fairly large group on Saturday to see a band that was scheduled to start playing around 12-12:30am. Some of my group were there at 10, but when my friend and I arrrived at 11, almost all of the taps were empty--but there was Bud Light (yuck!) So the US Beer company doesn't have any beer... Also, the guy working the door was pretty stupid. He asked everyone(in a rude tone), "Why are you here?" Hello, to drink and listen to music.
Long story short, after listening to some lame cover bands, the band we were there to see didn't get on stage until after 2am, then they had to cut their set short because a couple of the other bands went way over their alotted time.
I don't think we'll be going back there any time soon.

BANDS . . . DO NOT PLAY MUSIC HERE. The PA sucks, the regulars are creeps, and the owner will not give you a cut of the door. You have been warned.

My experiences with US Beer have always been great and professional. I will always look forward to playing there.

The U.S. Company is terrible! We had a show booked for weeks, w/ two touring bands. We had 80 people (fans) outside the venue. All five bands had equipment on the sidewalk outside the place ready to play. The bar cancelled the show without telling anyone. NOT EVEN A SIGN ON THE DOOR. DON'T EVER PLAY HERE IF YOUR IN A BAND!!!
