  I saw Thrice & Cav-In here in '00, it was super awesome. The place has a great vibe and has stood the test of time!

  Chain Reaction was great when I was in High School, now I just feel like the oldest person in the room. You can see great bands here for cheap. I love this venue because though it's full of underage kids, they are usually super excited to see all of the bands on the bill, including the openers. Keep up to date with their website and you can sometimes catch big bands stopping by this small venue. I usually avoid this venue during the summer because once it's packed, there is little ventilation and it gets HOT... But for the price, it's still usually worth it.
