I believe they were called Shade and they played classic rock to top 40 pop. If you closed your eyes, you would think it was the real band. It is a standard drink selection. There are no specialty drinks, beer, wine and bar shots.Parking: This restaurant is located on the waterfront so there is plenty of parking just not right at the restaurant.

The majority of the lineup is young 20s, yelling, pushing other people and drunk in massive lineup to get a wrist band. The lineup goes around the corner and with so many people intoxicated and pushing to move up it was nerve wracking being so crowded on a very busy street. Even at the 5pm wristband lineup. Staff do not patrol the line. We waited for over an hour and didn’t see one staff member checking things out. At one point a group of ten plus people came and cut in front of us, saying their friends were saving their spot in line. It’s only a matter of time before something unfortunate happens safety wise. Something to consider in the future is maybe moving to an online purchase system for tickets. The crowd has gone from all ages to a young sloppy mess. Not that we are super old and don’t like to have a good time (mid to late 30s that love to have a good time, have drinks and dance the night away) but it’s gone from a fun jigging time to a younger crowd that is super intoxicated. I reached out on Instagram direct message, message was read with no reply.
