The Flamingo Room

This place is a joke.  My wife and I traveled an hour and a half to see the  Molly Hatchett show.  Doors were to open at 7:00 but no one seemed to know just when they'd open.  They didn't open until 9:00.  So we spent the time drinking warm beer from a poor selection, eating mexican food that Taco Bell would be ashamed to serve, and a sufferring through a wait staff that doesn't seem to know how to wait a table.

  The first band was a Skynyrd cover band (with one Thin Lizzy song), nothing original, and they played for an hour.  It was then announced at 10:30 that there would be 2 more bands, then Molly Hatchett.  Band 2 was no better than Band 1, so we did the math and realized that Molly Hatchett wouldn't take the stage until 1:00 or so, so we left.  

  Mind you, that I am a huge Molly Hatchett fan, so if the venue would have been decent, I would have stayed.  This place is no more than a quonset hut with no acoustic attributes, a concrete floor and all hard surfaces.  There is a balcony that overhangs the ground floor with about 50 seats that look like they were stolen from a high school.  The overhang further impairs the acoustics.  The bars in the concert area served warm beer too, but I'm sure that you could have guessed that.

  This place does not compare favorably to Fitzgeralds, Warehouse Live, Doesey Doe, the Mucky Duck.  

  I would expect that The Flamingo Room will be closed within a year.  I'm just sorry for the investors that may have put money into it.
