As much as being up fron in a tiny club is cool, somtimes it sounds better to be in the middle a littler further back. And you can also see the entire band. None the less this place is tiny it doesn't really matter how far back or close to the stage you are it will rule. I have 20 people coming, I already purchased tickets for the 20 people so the box is cool and you get your own waitress. You can also enjoy it without some 80's rocker whipping his hair at you
