Says what it does, does what it says

Variety is indeed the spice of life here; the Variety draws the interesting, the sturdy and the trendy (Ryan Adams) alike. The unique seating situation (it used to be a movie theater) is great if you don't feel like standing, but it's a pain squeezing through the narrow aisles, and don't sit in the front row behind all the people standing at the front. The neighborhood is a little dicey --I've been accosted by bums outside here frequently -- and on-street parking can be a problem during big events. But you've almost got to brave it for the solid acts.

• Pros: Great lineup, Seats
• Cons: Parking
