I was there last night; great line-up and I can't say enuf good things about the staff, acoustics, music hall/bar arrangement and the upstairs "lounges". It's surely going to be one of my favorite hangouts for music AND cocktails. The way the ticket concession and security is set-up, one doesn't have to buy a ticket to the music venue to get into the upstairs lounge and bar.
It IS a long walk from Union Station, over twelve blocks - and an uphill climb over the long bridge. I've been up to the Red&Black four or five times and never had a problem parking. Last night, I got a space right across from the entrance to the "Hotel" . Hope everyone has as much fun as I had!
