Drink prices are crazy as hell, the 2 bartenders were perfect. I'd go back just for them. Red head and dreads. Loved the venue itself just fix the drink prices.

Excellent venue to catch all your local acts. Plenty of room in front of the stage, offering a multi-tier viewing area. Large bar area for ease of getting beverages. As for bands, some of the best in ROC play here, and they are well taken care of with a separate room behind stage to get ready for their show. Digital light display is second to none. Check out the lineup and get out here to support local.

This place charges crazy prices for drinks and will mess up your tab 9/10 times. also the fire alarm goes off constantly it's really unsafe because no one reacts....what happens when there is an actual fire and your guests and employees think it's another false alarm literally just get rid of your insane fog machines that set off the alarms and be transparent about pricing, then this would be a fun spot.

We've gone here a few times and apparently we weren't drinking mixed drinks because we never would have went back.
We went to see Into The Now lastnight, and had seven single Tito's with soda and my bill at the end of the night was $115. I figured it was a mistake, but when I asked the bartender, she said it wasn't and that single drinks are $15 a piece.
I don't know about you, but that's highway robbery. What a bunch of dirty thieves.
I just want everyone else to know so they don't go through the same thing.

We will NEVER be back.

I had the honor of coming up to a music video shoot for a collaboration of artist from Sophistafunk, Mosaic Foundation, Roots Collider and Buffalo Afrobeat this past weekend and the venue was just beautiful, I was definitely shocked when you walk and definitely can feel the vibe when the band played and could only image an open show. Definitely looking forward to catching a live show there in the future. Hopefully the launch of the song or one of them
?
definitely Don Manuel Presents Approved

I attended an event this weekend at Photo City
, using my debit card to open a tab. I ordered a drink each for my friend and I, keeping tab open should we need anything else.

End of the night, I went to close my tab and was shocked that the bill came to almost $50. When the bartender read back the orders, I knew my friend and I didn’t order those specific items. Someone put their order on my tab! When I disputed the charges with the business, they stated someone provided my last name and the tab was accurate. They added I would need to dispute the charges with my bank.

I contacted the business owner, Danny Nielsen on FB messenger and texted the number provided on his social network pages. Because we both have iPhones, I could see the message was read immediately. I have not heard anything back as of today 10/28.

In all of my years of visiting venues and attending live music in Rochester and other big cities, never have I had this experience. Any guidance with how to rectify, I am open to suggestions!

Really cute place! I love the chandeliers and leopard print on the walls! Only have been here once for a Vampire ball, but it looks like they can take on a bunch of themes. Can't wait to go back for other events!

Love the venue aesthetic, but hate the sticky carpeted floor and the cost. $44 for two rum/cokes and one bottle Labatt with lowest auto gratuity which I believe was set to 25%! Next time I’ll bring cash to tip and shoes I don’t love.
