I went for Eddiepalooza and had an amazing time. great crowd, friendly staff, great music, and all around fun time. Definitely recommended.
Band was good, everything else was awful
THE WORST PLACE EVER!!!! BANDS DO NOT BOOK HERE ITS A WASTE OF TIME. When you drive over 800 miles you would expect a club owner to welcome you in and let you set up asap. NOT THE CASE HERE! I pulled up to the ran down little bicycle shop and lounge. It was Saturday afternoon at 4:45 pm and the place is a ghost town no customers staff or anything. How can you have business if youre not open. After waiting til 7:30pm in the hot parking lot across the street that wasnt his parking cause he doesnt have any. The owner comes out and tells us if there isnt any customers waiting outside his door then hes not opening at all on a Saturday night. After putting up flyers in the venue and making post on all platforms it was still a bust with this guy. We booked months ahead of time and called him that morning to confirm that everything was good and ready to go. So as soon as we get there he makes us wait 3 hours and tells us its a no go. Seems like this happens alot here so be aware bands and artist!!! Terrible experience 👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎
*BANDS* — don’t play this venue. Apparently the owner only opens shop for gigs so there is no built-in crowd/regulars. Was told load-in was 6 but he didn’t open doors until 7 (a big deal because we drove across the state to be here). Only one band played before the owner shut down the show. Very unprofessional and a waste of everyone’s time. Looked like very little was done to promote this show.TL:DR — owner sucks.
No alcohol just beer and wine, no smoking, and does not take Credit Cards, cash only.... Not a well run business, just sayin. All the bands I listen to play elsewhere and they take credit cards, serve liquor and have an area to smoke. Used to be a lot more fun
Its a shame that the good bands and musicians that tour through there have to put up with a manager that is such a jerk. The guy is desperate for money and literally yells at bands for slow nights. Hell also give the bands a load in time to bring in gear, and then make the bands wait locked out in an alley hours past said load in time while he entertains his friends inside. Especially if youre a band, do yourself a favor and avoid this crummy mis-managed excuse for a dive bar.
Who charges 5.00 for a PBR? This joint does. This place claims to be a music venue. The guy running the sound board either had no idea how to run it or just didnt care and the bands suffered. I would not suggest visiting as a patron or playing as a band. Its just awful all the way around.
Tarponfest was off the chain!So much stellar music!Stonegrey, Shevonne and the Force, Johnny Mile and the Kilometers, the New Brutarians, and the Black Honkeys were utterly fantastic!Thank you for helping make this happen! The Black Honkey stage hands really worked their butts off running between the indoor and outdoor stages.Thanks again, we all needed this! ✌️❤️☯️🎶
Sound guy was super rude imo
For a long time this was the only venue in tarpon to see bands preform! Its a historic place ! A lot of great bands started out playing here! Only beer and wine no smoking inside. Cash only
Artists should boycott this dive. Long history of screwing everyone over. We met our commitment of 30 guests and owner shows up an hour late and demands 50 guests. With all 4 bands present ready to load in he refused to open. Stay far away.
I really like the place and the music there. But, for the Tarpon Music festival they should not have big name bands, in that small bar. It was so packed and the music was way too loud last night.
Went to see a live band play. The inside smelled awful and the owner was rude and cut the bands set short.
Havent been in for awhile but when I was there it was a cool place to hear young original bands. We need more places like that.
Thursday night Open Mic nights are great!Only beer/wine (Dont get the wine).Cash only. No cards taken.
The band was great that was the only good thing beer and wine over priced not a good selection the stools uncomfortable 5 dollar cover although the band was worth it wont be going back.
This is your basic rock club. Many bands have gotten their start here. Beer and wine are available.
Fun place great bands and very honest! Left my phone and they held it for me!!
Decent band but way overpriced alcohol not open all the time either. Localist
Fantastic place! Wish I could visit more often.
Loved this venue. Wish it was still open on the regular..
Downtown Tarpon Springs has the best activities. I attended an outdoor concert sponsored by Neptune Lounge. Great time!
Totally awsome place.. Eddie brings in some really great bands
Awesome bands. Beer only, cash only. Fun place to go.
I will be back. Group Young Ghosts played. Very good show.They better be there!
Fun place, great band but no air conditioning made it pretty unbearable.
Laid back and friendly staff. Always a good selection of music.
Owner might wanna try to be hospitable to the local residents and they might actually do more business thus more $$
Great music venue and the owner, Eddie, is the best!
Small, very crowded. No seating. Only cash, no menu
Great place. Nice AC. Beer and Wine Only. Just Cash!!!!
Awesome spot for local bands and the location is good
