What People Are Saying About Black Cat

Local and international bands play The Black Cat nearly seven nights a week in an unpretentious atmosphere. Two performance spaces--the checkered floor Mainstage and downstairs Backstage--allow for multiple shows or events per night.

I'm not happy with the people who works there....
by Agustin at Citysearch
For some reason the security people asked us to leave, place was little noisy, we were next to the stage, we slightly touch some acustic instruments, but that was it, somebody came over and without any warning ask us out, I'm not overrecting, it was awful........ALSO the, I guess, "Lady"? behind the counter selling the tickets was "absurd rude", looking tired, mad, crazy stupid, without care of the people, I don't expect her to act professional, to do that, you hace to have at least certain amount of inteligent, and she showed that night she doesn't have it.....I will be back, just because I want to and because I can do that if that pleased me, but be aware, that people are kindless ..
- Pros: Nice sound, fair price, good location, nice people
- Cons: security people, box office (or lady? selling tickets)

by Caliboy78 at Citysearch

- Pros: Great Music
- Cons: too much Hipster wear
The Details on Black Cat
Know Before You Go:
It's free to get into the Red Room bar, but most Backstage shows have a cover and Mainstage shows require a ticket.
Save Time:
Long lines out the front door often mean people are waiting to get into a Mainstage concert. Patrons wanting to hang out in the Red Room bar can usually skip ahead to the front of the line.
Save Money:
Bypass online service charges and buy tickets for an upcoming show at the club's box office, open seven nights a week.
