I was there to see The Strokes last year (?) and I thought it was a good venue. The sound was good. It all depends on your lifestyle and whether you're an urban hipster or not. To whit:
No drinks in the auditorium (don't drink)
no smoking outside while the show is on (don't smoke)
no standing while the artist is on (I'm tall. I don't need to stand to see anyone and it's not like you can dance to Ryan Adams)
the beer lines were atrocious (don't drink AND you'd really pay that much for a beer?)
bathroom lines (for my wife) just as bad (go before you come to the concert. DUH! Unless you have to go to the bathroom because of all the alcohol you've consumed. Then "Don't drink.")
the crowd were a bunch of losers (but i expect that from DC, sorry) (maybe it's not the
crowd that were the losers in this case.)
and an 11pm curfew?? (MOST venues have some sort of curfew. You're spoiled by those that don't.)

That place sucked. really really bad. and it wasnt even the sound, i thought the sound was decent.
Did they let you sneak in some pot? Could you take pictures with your cell phone? Did they let you smell your own farts?
Bitch, whine and complain is all some of you ever do. Did the DAR hall infringe upon your "rights" as a concert goer? Call the ACLU!
Re-read your complaints. You sound like a whiny little bitch. "Oh, I couldn't SMOKE DURING THE SHOW!" Wah-wah-wah! "The Beer lines were too LONG!" Someone give "Le Sonick" his bottle!
