Great place for a concert BUT not without the lower restrooms fixed. Lines upstairs get over a hour long. Stay away until that gets fixed. Full review by Joseph M

I remember that you can buy beverages. I don't really recall food. We ate at Rodano's prior to our show. My suggestion if you want dinner prior to the show, go early!!
