I agree. I was here for a show last weekend, and while the band was awesome, I could barely see them, even though I was near the front. They totally oversold the show…it was crushingly crowded in there. I can’t really recommend the bar either. My mixed drink wasn’t too strong, and my friend foolishly ordered the house merlot, which tasted like glue and came in a juice glass. If I was reviewing this based on the bookings alone I would give it five stars, but the whole package, not so much.

The Sunset Tavern has a great vibe, and now that they have liquor service there is less excuse to see a show there. But it suffers from the common problem of clubs of this scale - very bad sight lines to the "stage". Low ceilings and poles in the way mean you won't really get to see the performing act unless you are pretty much right up front or at the bar - the seating and booths in the back won't work. Never had the "food" either. But the staff and decor are nice, and they get an eclectic mix of indie rock and twangy stuff, kind of like a smaller, rougher cousin of the Tractor Tavern down the block.

I have seen quite a few good acts here recently. The bookings are pretty solid, but the layout of the space makes it tough to see. The stage is far away from most of the views and it's tough to get around. The alcohol is an average price. Overall a good place to see a show!
