Read MoreThe staff and the customers make this my favorite place to frequent. Then you throw in live music at a location close to me, I couldn't have wished for a better spot. The Westside had nothing special (as far as smaller music venues go) until the 44, and this is what we got:
PROS:
*Church music on tap!
*Live music with national acts, and local alike, in a more intimate setting than any other venue has to offer-with national acts mind you.
*They have poker nights and country line dancing lessons for free certain nights.
*They occasionally host midget wrestling, male reviews and female reviews so the entertainment stays interesting and diverse.
*They are super biker friendly- which is important for me personally.
*The chef is phenomenal. I have and will literally follow him to any establishment he works at, hense my "will travel for food" slogan. Lol
*They have a super lively and friendly karaoke crowd! The host, Lisa Joe, is hands down, the best karaoke host I have ever seen in action (and trust I've seen many.)
*Staff and customers are next level from your usual neighborhood bars, they are friendly and really care about eachother- and it shows.
*Great place to watch sports games, play pool or darts!
CONS:
*They're social media presence lacks and it can be very difficult to locate information- It's not reliably consistent and you hardly ever get a "day-of-show" post to promote. Patrons will post during a show and the 44 might repost after the fact- but that is super annoying if you realize you didn't catch the 1 or 2 announcements posted _ _ random weeks in advance. Especially if its a show you would have really liked to see, obviously.
*This ties into the first gripe but they never promote shows outside of fliers in the establishment and random posts on FB. They should invest in the marketing of their shows more. It really sucks for some of the good bands, especially when they're playing here on a weeknight or Sunday cause they're passing through and its completely dead except for a handful of people on the karaoke side.
Those are my only gripes though so all and all I am a huge fan of this place.
