Great Lake Swimmers concert on Friday, April 17:

Great show (5 stars)! Sound was excellent given the low ceilings & stone walls.

Venue (2 stars): The opening duo & GLS were folky, with many quieter, acoustic songs.The BARTENDER spent much of these songs SPEAKING & LAUGHING with his buddy so LOUDLY that he drowned out the music. Zero respect (or self awareness?). We could see the artists looking at him with disbelief & annoyance during their performances. A real vibe-killer. Self-serve water station at the bar was really appreciated though. Venue was hot & poorly ventilated.

J'y suis allée un peu sur un coup de tête, mais je n'ai pas été déçue. Quand nous sommes rentrés, il y avait une prestation d'un artiste que je ne connaissais pas. Certes la musique était un peu forte, mais l'ambiance géniale. Pas de prix d'entrée & l'alcool est à un prix raisonnable, même hors du happy hour.
