Description

It's hot, loud, and way too crowded. But would you expect anything less from a rock club? The Culture Room books an eclectic mix of bands. On any given week they might have David Allan Coe, the Misfits, Johnny Winter, a local group of hardcore rockers, and northern Europe's meanest-sounding death metal makers. What sets the Culture Room apart from the other hot and sweaty clubs around, though, isn't necessarily what goes on atop the large stage; it's the nice, refreshing atmosphere just outside the main concert room. If you don't care so much about seeing your favorite rock stars up close, in the flesh, you can still rock out a few feet away, under the beautiful Florida sky — and watch a video projection of the show while you sip a beer. Or if you're really hardcore, as you pound Jägermeister and break the bottle over your own head.

  • 2006 | Best Rock Club

    Could there really be any other choice For almost a decade, the husband-and-wife rock-star team of Greg and Sharon Alliferis has run this midsized venue as if it were a major-league ballroom. They regularly pack the house for big names and offer a solid sound system and friendly service to smaller fries, both important elements in creating a buzzworthy club. In 2005, though, they really honed their focus and put together a consistently eclectic, exciting roster of shows, including the... More »

  • 2003 | Best Rock Club

    Any South Florida live-music club not saturated with sticky, sucky cover bands automatically gets bumped ahead in line. And at the very front of that line, muscling past the chrome-domed bouncer manning the velvet rope gauntlet, is the Culture Room. Yeah, the Culture Room's competition became a tad jealous of its supremacy and the loyalty showed it by local fans and rock bands alike -- and waged a tepid little turf war that went absolutely nowhere. The Room survived, emerging from the chaos... More »

  • 2003 | Greg Aliferis

    Q: Do you watch reality-television shows A: I personally don't watch a lot, but I've had some firsthand experience with it. Q: You were a Survivor contestant A: No, VH1 filmed a 14-part series called Band on the Run in 2000, and the finals ended up here [at the Culture Room]. They were in the club for three days, filming virtually everything that happened. They'd just follow you around with cameras. It's a very strange feeling after a while. By the last day, the band members... More »

  • 2002 | Best Rock Club

    Sometimes, it's hard to profess love for the Culture Room because, well, it's a Fort Lauderdale institution, which usually means a place is tacky. But that's exactly why we love the Room, a '70s throwback that nonetheless hosts a never-ending procession of local and national acts -- more than any other live music venue in the area, come to think of it. The retro point of view manifests itself with a wide assortment of bands from the hard-rock side of the spectrum, but what makes the Culture... More »

  • 1999 | Best Rock Club

    The Culture Room takes this one almost by default because of the scarcity of rock clubs in the region. Major props go to the Culture Room for putting on its twice-weekly local band nights (Wednesday and Saturday) when few other clubs seem interested in artists with actual instruments. The space itself wins points also; the dance floor makes for an extremely spacious and accommodating stage, with the balcony-bar area upstairs providing a bird's-eye view of the bands. Decorated with the... More »

    Steve Kimock at Culture Room on May 27

    By Arielle Castillo | Thu, May 24, 2012

    Nimble-fingered guitarist Steve Kimock is one of those itinerant musicians who may or may not form a "band" around himself, but never really needs one. Born in 1955, he was just a touch too young to capture the earliest days of the hippie and jam ... More »

    Through the Roots at Culture Room on May 19

    By Arielle Castillo | Thu, May 17, 2012

    San Diego quintet Through the Roots boasts what is probably the quintessential California sound: breezy, beachy, and freely crossing through any number of laid-back genres. Unsurprisingly, the group's sound is mostly grounded in reggae, but it oft... More »

    Lacuna Coil on May 1 at Culture Room

    By Arielle Castillo | Thu, April 26, 2012

    There's nothing shy about Lacuna Coil, an Italian six-piece that helped fully solidify the subgenre dubbed "gothic metal." Nearly everything about the band is bombastic, from vocalist Andrea Ferro and Cristina Scabbia's dramatic male-female vocal ... More »

    By Betsey J. Denberg | Wed, April 25, 2012

    Chatting on the phone with Alabama rapper Yelawolf -- born Michael Wayne Atha -- is like catching up with an old friend. After our 45-minute conversation, it felt like we were. His welcoming personal... More »

    The Pretty Reckless' Taylor Momsen on Marilyn Manson, Gossip Girl Rumors, and Jenna Haze

    By Betsey J. Denberg | Mon, April 23, 2012

    She's a blonde bombshell, barely legal, and has a knack for causing media frenzies due to her provocative outfits and on-stage behavior. But, despite Taylor Momsen's rock n' roll exterior, the Pretty... More »

    Name a concert and they have it. Every tour stops by the culture room, and its not as packed as Downtown Fort Lauderdale

    Small venue that packs a punch! Super up close and personal with your favorite bands will surely make that night unforgettable. I've seen plenty of shows from Gogol Bordello, Tegan and Sara, Eisley, to Amanda Palmer, all great performance with lots of energy.
