  This will be a hot spot for years to come. Lots of parking to be found some the venue and even though the line to get in is long, it moves very fast. Nice outdoor patio and lots of dancing room inside. Multiple bars and upstairs balcony areas are a plus. I went for pecked Selena Night and we all fit with plenty of room to dance. Will definitely make this a regular place to come party!

  Firstly, my husband and I would like to thank the Van Buren for hosting Cradle of Filth. I was told by one of the staff that they just recently opened the venue up as a music venue, and I'm sure glad they did! The sound was incredible, the instruments and vocals sounded very clear, and LOUD. 🤘 From the moment that we walked up to the venue, it was pleasantries from the staff. We were greeted and shown up to the Mezzanine standing area. I compared the experience to being seated at a restaurant, which is what it totally felt like especially when they asked us for our drink order so that they can bring it to us. Wow! Excellent service, throughout! The venue itself is magnificent. It is elegant and spacious and even the minor details, such as the drink rail that prevented drinks from sliding off, were noticed and appreciated. I would love to see more metal shows play here so I can return to this place. Thank you Van Buren for a wonderful night!

  A really nice venue with lots of space. The drinks and food were great. The atmosphere was fun, the music was awesome, the crowd was lively and the staff was friendly. I went for Ladies of the 80's and had a blast. There is plenty of room to dance without being squished, but there still was a full crowd. The sound system was good, loud but not painfully loud. We found parking for $5 right around the corner. We received wrist bands and they inspected purses and bags. There are several bars inside and seating, including bleacher style seating. The place has powerful air conditioning, in some areas you can feel the stream of cool air hit you. Ice water is free and they have a water station set up as well. There is an enclosed patio with tables and chairs. The patio has a bar and food, fries, tots, sliders and even vegan options. You can bring the food inside and the brisket sliders were amazing! I will definitely be attending more events here. P.S. they have large clean restrooms, plenty of stalls, no long waits.

  The venue is very nice for a smaller concert venue. There is a nice outdoor attached fenced area with a handful of tables and a small bar to order drinks. I was there for a concert that was general admission, no seating. The floors in the concert area are nice wood look- which may sound strange, but it's better than your average concrete floor style venue. The bathrooms are also nicely redone in black and white tile- pretty nice for a concert venue. The also put up small riser/bleachers on each side- so you could stand to have a better view or sit. Beers were pricey and parking was a bit sketchy. There was an "attendant" outside flagging people down and charging for parking. We are pretty sure that he wasn't affiliated with the venue and just charging people to tell them where to park. He said he was there watching cars all night, that didn't happen- he was gone well before the concert was over. Other than the the parking incident, I would recommend this place.
