an okay venue by A. H. at InsiderPages

A nice place because it's rather small, and the rules are generally too strict for a punk rock venue. Absolutely no ins and outs, no backpacks and no stagediving. The staff is sometimes quite rude compared to other venues and the parking is horrible. I guess management isn't totally to blame, as chain reaction tends to draw an often young and rude crowd which sometimes makes shows somewhat unbearable. There have been many decent shows in the past few years, but ticket prices are mainly too high compared to places like koos and the smell.
