A great Dallas venue. Very personal, intimate atmosphere. Standing room only allows you to get as close as you want to the stage, making for memorable concerts that you'll talk about for years.
Rober TaylorDecember 22, 2015
A nice mid-sized venue for music. Standing room only for the event we attended. Four hours standing in a smokey hall can be challenging no matter who the act is!
Sabrina WiseOctober 19, 2010
Awesome Music Venue! You can see the band no matter where you are standing. I was fortunate to see Smashing Pumpkins and Deftones here recently and I was really digging it. More bands should play here

Great venue. Small but has room to move. You can get a real good experience with the performer for sure.

If you're planning on drinking here make sure you sneak in your own water bottle of vodka, buy a drink here, finish that cup then refill it yourself ;) because they don't allow water bottles. Saves $

Lotsa room for a HUGE dance crowd! 2013 ASTD (American Society of Training & Development) Conference & Exposition attendees rocked the house!!! 😃 hehe

Pretty cool. Two stages. Only VIP section has seats. Plenty of bars.

Love this venue. There's a lot of standing room and you can see the stage from almost anywhere. Great sound too!

What's good is these 2 things. Plenty of bathrooms and bars. The 2 bad things. Over crowding the event with to many people, while raping you with a $11 beer or $4 for a cup of water.

Not a whole lot of room inside if they sell many tickets. $13 for a 24 ounce beer. Wait by the door as the band plays their final song to avoid the terrible wait to leave in the parking lot.

Not the best parking situation but fun venue and always good music!

If you don't want to pay all the Ticketmaster convenience fees go buy your tix from the Palladium box office. NO FEES! Saves like $10/ticket. Box office hours 9:00-5:30 Mon, Tue, Thurs, Friday

If the line is long at the concert, just enter through the restaurant. There is someone inside scanning tickets also. You get right in and avoid waiting in lines...
Brianne WheelerDecember 5, 2011
This is one of my favorite venues! Nice and roomy! Also perfect for moshing :)
Jc TorbersonMay 27, 2013
Always cool to go to a concert and be a few feet from the band, great small venue, but no seating and parking is a bitch!

Great venue, just beers are extreme concert prices..$13 each!

Hire two more bartenders per bar for sold out shows. You guys would make a killing and less people would be upset having to wait for drinks

See live music here or I pull the trigger. Your move, punk.

Approach the front from the left Of stage, facing it (north to east) to avoid the pit, on average. If you don't want to avoid shit just push your way to the front and push some bitches.

$5 to park for Etsy Dallas ? Super lame. Park on a side street and walk.
Allen GwinnJanuary 30, 2011
Do NOT be talked into private parties here. Management and parking guys are disorganized. So they won't let you in to drop off or pick up. No parking on streets. Morons!

THE BEST PLACE TO ROCK!!!!
John StevensonNovember 25, 2009
Parking is $10. Nice venue, horrible staff. Bouncers are always rude for no reason, and be prepared to wait half an hour for a single drink while the bar staff flirt with the guy ahead of you in line.
