The Crofoot Ballroom

This is a great venue to watch a band, I just wish it were located somewhere else besides Pontiac.  That, or some decent bars and restaurants would open up adjacent to the Crofoot.  We didn't have many options to eat and grab some drinks before a show so we actually went to Ferndale first then drove up Woodward for the concert.  Anyway, back to the Crofoot.  The venue is beautiful and has great acoustics.  I look forward to watching another show here again.

Hard to review a venue when you've got extra stars in your eyes over the band you saw there...

Loved going to the Crofoot for a show. It's a great space. Very intimate, without feeling claustrophobic. They bring in some amazing musicians. AMAZING. Again, I am distracted by the memory of Stephin Merritt and The Magnetic Fields. It was a stellar show. I'm left with nothing but happy eyes for everything the Crofoot team touches.

Check them out online, their website is excellent.

And if you're in the neighborhood, look for the big blue sign on a quirky corner of downtown Pontiac. It's worth a visit.

Saw Mae play here for their reunion tour in 2010, which was a great show. The venue is all right -- small enough that we could stand quite close to the stage. Pretty intimate setting actually.

The drinks were fine.
