I had a great time at the concert. There were about 19 of us, all spaced six feet apart. 18 banjo players and two bassoonists. Best concert ever.
The concert was too quiet. Edit: Oh wow, they'll turn the volume up. I'm updating my review to 5 stars.
We had a lovely time here at the B and G's, we hope to meet Brent Curtis next time, I hear he is the best. But sometimes he seems hungry. So I brought a pizza, but we just didn't get a chance to connect.... next time!
What a fantastic place to see a concert. I've seen both classical and jazz shows here, the most recent being a show last night with 45th Parallel. The space is lovely, warm, welcoming, and obviously historic. Acoustics are good, but that's not what it was originally built for, of course. There's a back meeting area with absolutely gorgeous sliding doors, perfect for a post-event reception.
So why four stars and not five? Well, it is historic, and that of course means a couple of rough patches. Understandable given the age, but probably should be mentioned, particularly for guests with challenges. Seating is okay for the first hour or so, but we're talking about older church pews (granted, with cushions) and I've observed that some folks get a little uncomfortable after the first hour. The B&G's Backyard is wheelchair accessible, but the front steps might be a little tricky for older guests. As noted earlier, parking can be a bear in this neighborhood, but it is on the streetcar line and it is easy to find.
Truly though, this is nit-picking. A lovely space, and we're so lucky to have it.
