Daryl Shook
Great local smallish concert/entertainment venue in Santa Cruz.A must visit place for show at least once in your life. Acoustics are great, seats are comfy, and the views of the stage are great in any spot depending on how tall the person sitting in front of you is. Parking can be a little hectic as you may have to find street parking a little distance away – don’t let that prevent you from going here, though!

Small, away from big names and crowds, amazing sound. Loved it, I hope to come back often

Every seat is great (almost) !!! ✓ Tip #1: Get drinks ahead of the venue (no liquor license). ✓ Tip #2: Do NOT sit left of stage (row 1-2) on chilly nights – back door is open for artists & a curtain blowing open all evening = freezing cold place to sit).
