Yesterday I attended a performance from Flobots at the Club House Music Venue. They often have many bands playing and are a nice little club so I thought i'd share some information:
The Place: Clubhouse Music Venue
Location:1320 E Broadway Rd
Tempe, AZ 85282-1578
Internet Site: http://www.clubhousemusicvenue.com/
Now for a small venue and a cheap ticket it's ok, though there are things they could fix. So since I'm assuming not everyone has been there, if you go to a show there i'm going to give you some Advice before you do.
If you go remember this:
IF YOU ARE UNDER 21 There is no re-entry. That means you get in but you either stay or leave, no going and hanging outside and then coming back in. This can be trouble because they don't have good ac in the club and it's a million degrees.
If you are 21 or OVER you are given a bracelet and allowed re-entry.
They do this many because of alcohol. They have a bar and 21 and over section so they don't worry about those legally aged, they don't allow those under back in because they are afraid they'll go out drink and come back in and act drunk (Drunk Minors are a liability)
Now Usually the Headliner bands have a few openers or what not, so if you are only interested in the headliner, call ahead and see what time they are expected to play and show up at that time especially if your a minor, otherwise you'll be stuck inside a hot room for a few hours.
IF you want to see EVERYONE playing and will be there starting at opening I advise you to purchase tickets online. A bit more money but there is a much shorter line to get in and such. If you just show up at the door after the opening bands and such it's still cheap to get in but you don't have to wait for all of the opening acts which may or may not be bad.
If you are going to be in the 21 or over area you will need your ID obviously. Not all shows are for all ages, double-check the site for the show you want to see.
Extra tips if your going:
It's really hot I know it will sound crazy but bring some napkins and possibly one of those small hand-held fans no i'm not crazy but if you follow this advice you'll thank me later
-Girls don't worry about your makeup it's too hot and it's really dark inside-
Bring money the only thing minors can buy are bottles of water that go around $2 dollars each and they DO NOT allow outside Food or Drinks THEY WILL Search you before you go in so don't try to hide it. If your over 21 they do serve alcohol but you cannot bring it out of the 21 and over area security will enforce it.
This is another reason why it's good to be 21 or over, you can take a break and get something cheap to drink at the 7-11 nearby!
Use a restroom before you go, their restrooms are...barely surviving. But if you are the kind of person who always seems to be in there, bring a small bottle of hand sanitizer, they have a problem putting in more soap when needed.
Lastly If you can't stand for long periods this isn't the place for minors. While the 21 and over area has bar stools and a bench along the back the minors area has nothing so your standing the entire time, you've been warned.
Yes the venue lacks but some of the bands are good so don't let it turn you away!
