The atmosphere was nice, the band was good, and while the drinks were a bit pricey, they were enjoyable. However, it's important to mention that they only offer their own products. If you’re looking for a PRB or Budweiser, you won’t find it here. SBC does have some great beers, and I highly recommend them, but I can get those at the restaurant next door. If I'm going out for the night, I’d rather hit up one of the other bars downtown—especially one that I can enter for free. In fact, three friends of mine backed out before we even got inside just to avoid that $10 charge. If I'm going to spend money, I’d rather it be on more drinks with my friends rather than an unnecessary fee at the door.

It reminded me of bars I've visited in LA, where you're left standing all night and the music is so loud that it’s hard to even catch your breath. I wouldn’t recommend it.

It’s not often you can feel the employees serving you are happy to be doing their job, and it says a lot about how great this place is! The music and drinks were also great. I had a fantastic experience.

We placed an order an never received it so we just left after waiting 45 minutes and watching the bartender do nothing .

Acoustics are decent but I would definitely recommend a drum shield for any group that plays there to keep the drum from overwhelming everything else.
