Prior to seeing Eve To Adam there; I wasn't aware of The Back Bar. In part and due to living in Madison, I don't usually get down that way. But I Made the trip due to the Band and man I wasn't disappointed with the atmosphere, staff and sound!! The crowd was friendly and Especially like the fact that the band was able to move around and mingle with the fans. I'll Be Bock, now Get in the chopper!

Had a bit to drink... Kelly made sure I was sober enough to drive. Fed me at the cost of making sure I went home to my family after the show. I will be back over and over

Great preshow vibes throughout the room. Great stage to crowd vibes. Lot's of hard work, but also great times and laughter in the backline room. Good pizza, good times.

Great venue. I went there to see Trapt, one of my favorite bands. While they did have issues with their sound, it as still an amazing experience. I enjoyed the abilit to be up close to the performers and that alone made the night amazing let alone worth the 3 hour drive there. I would return to see future performances

all and all, the night was awesome, but FLAW had a short set because of the Sound Booth, This was the first time that we were at the Back Bar, but have seen in other comments, that this was not a isolated incident. Between every set, the sound had issues, 45 minutes of issues EACH SET!!!! Even the Bands were getting Pissed about it.

I enjoy going to the bar, to see an out of state local band. The bartenders were awesome. Unfortunately when there was a sound guy all the equipment went haywire.
