I'm not all that crazy about the El Rey
Wednesday, March 01, 2006
I have to admit, I'm not that crazy about the El Rey Theatre. Sure, it's old and the neon signage is cool; I just don't think all that much of it as a place to see shows. It has a great big dance floor, but a lot of the shoes that end up being held there aren't really dance shows. There aren't enough places to sit; if you don't get there early enough to stake one of the few seats there are out, count on getting your dogs tired. It's not bad, it is certainly more intimate than a hockey rink or something, I just think it's overrated. They could stand to lower the prices on beer, too. They gouge you.
