Central SAPC

We were looking for The Room when we noticed this places. We paid $6 to park in the lot behind Central and The Room so we figured we'd give this place a shot. There were a bunch of punk rockers standing around outside the back door, which made me feel like I stood out since I came in kind of dressed up.

It was weird because the guy checking out ID's at the door didn't charge or say anything about cover, so we assumed it was free until the person inside said $10 per person the minute we came in. Honestly, the inside looked so dirty and gross and dark that we didn't even bother considering to pay this. $10 is beyond over the top to charge for cover, especially for a place like this.

The only upside to this venue is that there is a stage, which allows for bands to come in and play. I'm sure if I liked the band that was playing, I would have loved to stay and listen and MIGHT have even considered paying the cover. There was a punk rock band playing this Saturday night, so we got the heck up out of there.

Came here to see my friend Giraffage perform. I really enjoyed the venue for two reasons: The actual venue space itself and the people.

I've always been a big fan of small and intimate venues as it allows you to be closer to the performers on stage. The decor was nice too, especially in the lobby area (the fireplace keeps it classy). The people here were also very friendly and cool to hang out with,  which made the squeezing with each other more bearable. If you couldn't tell, the place can get really packed, to the point where you're just really get sandwiched between a bunch of people.

I would love to come back here for another show if I was ever in the area. With great music, venue, and people, it definitely makes Central SAPC a great place to hang out and catch a show.

POOR MANAGEMENT!!!!   SAVE your money and your time!  This place is a Joke! Drove from the Valley to see a great band.  While we waited outside for the band to go in, one of the guys went inside early for the bathroom. After about 10 minutes we all decided to make our way in the bar and the girl at the door wouldn't let the same guy back in because he left his ID at work. (Who by the way is a 60+ yr old)  We all were very upset and the girl seemed unconcerned and rude.  Several of the group ended up leaving and going home very angry.  A few of us made our way in and there was all of 10 people in the whole place, if that. The only saving grace to the place is the Sound system but that will be for nothing if the staff is rude and unaccommodating.

To the owner, Your girl out front turned away industry people and a celebrity and didn't even know it!  She's rude, and had a very condescending smirk, and she needs to go. I'll spend my time and my money elsewhere!
