Visulite Theatre

Visulite is one of my favorite venues for live music in the QC!  It is a small venue, which really allows for a different type of experience from a larger place like, say, the Fillmore.  There isn't a bad place to sit or stand in there, and if there is then I certainly haven't had the misfortune of ending up there yet.  There is a full bar right up in the thick of it so you can keep the party going without having to leave the music.  And as for the music, this place does a really good job of getting a wide variety of bands rather than focusing on one genre or another.  Lots of local acts too, which are great to support.

If you plan on trying to get a seat for a show rather than standing, get there early!  There are several high top tables around the place that have great views of the stage but they are obviously first come first serve.  When those doors open and the people start flooding in, those tables go fast.

Visulite is one of the best venues I've ever been to. It's small and the floor space is staggered so there really isn't a bad view. They don't jack up the prices of their booze like most places. I don't think I've ever payed 3 bucks for a beer a concert.

If you're going to see one of your favorite bands get there early. They have great seating at each level so you can sit comfortably about 30 feet from the stage if you're there early.

I had to chance to go to Visulite recently to see a performance by Toubab Krew and John Brown's Body....

....Let me begin by saying that both bands were spectacular and brought exciting, make-you-wanna-dance grooves to Visulite.

As others have stated, the drinks, especially beers are CHEAP.  There's no need to spend over $3 per beer.  They have all the major brands in bottles and cans plus a few select beers on tap.

What struck me most about the the actual venue itself is the unique set-up of the stage in relation to the audience.  There is a really cool section of seats about 30 feet back from the stage - this is where I sat. I was able to post up in a chair, with my beer and mobile-device on the ledge and take in the show in comfort.  If you were not lucky enough to get a seat on the rail, there was seating at round, high-top tables a few feet behind and of course plenty standing room directly in front of the stage.

There is plenty of FREE parking in the lot just across the street from Visulite.  You are doing something wrong if you find yourself having to pay for parking.  

Over all, Visulite is very cool venue, with a chill crowd and atmosphere that make this more than a worthy venue for any live show or concert.
