  A one star review is unfair for this place. Yes it is plain but not filthy. It is in a good location. I could not give it three stars though.

  I was having a hard time trying to come up with words to describe the hell hole that is Domino Room until I read Kali B's review.
  A PERFECT description: a disheveled bomb shelter
  Upon arrival I too looked everywhere for the Will Call area that it clearly says to pick your tickets up at. This so called area is inside the building where everyone else buys their tickets, it is called the entrance....
  
  The place was over crowded and dirty. The upstairs (for 21+) was too packed for the weight capacity of the ply wood floors we were standing on. If it wasn't for the mold on the floor I think we all would have fallen through.
  
  While I was there I kept looking around and thinking "How is this place even open, there HAS to be at least 20 Health and Building codes they are not following!"
  
  Which brings me to the bathrooms... Oh My Lordy Lanta! To save you the mental picture that is now embedded in my brain forever I will just say this one thing: Do not drink a single thing at least two hour prior to arriving and continue that until you exit the building.
  I'm pretty sure I got Hepatitis and the Clap from being in that bathroom for 3 minutes!
  
  If you do make the mistake of drinking please do it in the parking lot or at home because the beverages are BEYOND stupid prices. A PBR and Corona were $8.00! For Eight Dollars I could have bought two six packs of PBR!
  
  I'm glad they kept the lights dimmed because I had NO desire to see what I was standing in or around. I even kept looking down at my feet thinking I would see roaches or rats crawling around.
  
  I'm not really sure why the Domino Room is the venue that all these artists go to. Why in the world has Bend not built a better place for shows?
  
  Plus side, we saw G Love and he was amazing!

  I agree with the previous post. This place is awful. Awful. My friend bought tickets to a Mickey Avalon show. Please, please don't judge me for the "talent" we went to see that night. My friend didn't know I wasn't a fan of Mickey Avalon, but I went along any how because my friend had already bought the tickets. Upon our arrival, we noticed a line out the door. We had already purchased tickets on the phone so we looked for a will call line. Well, it turns out there wasn't a will call line. Turns out the show was oversold and the line of people out the door were also ticket purchased patrons. After 20 minutes of arguing with the "bouncer" my friend decided to use other means to gain access to the show. With the power of female persuasion, my friend got myself and six other people in the door (two of which hadn't even purchased a ticket). This place brought me back to 1995 going to sh*ty shows in the slums of ghetto downtown San Diego. Not sure how you can charge $20 a ticket for a place that looks like a disheveled bomb shelter. Disgusting. Turns out there are only 2 single stall bathrooms in the entire establishment. One downstairs in the all ages area which turned into a port o potty and one up stairs. NASTY!!! Upstairs in the 21 -up room I felt if one more person was allowed up there, the whole floor would cave and it would turn into a disastrous White Snakes repeat. Sound quality was pathetic. The "talent" didn't end up coming on stage until 12:30. So we were stuck in hell from beginning to end. Not worth paying money to see anyone there. Good luck finding a safe place to stand, a safe place to go to the bathroom and a place where you can actually hear the band. PATHETIC!!!!
