Great concert and the venue was excellent. The logistics of ticketing and seating were handled really well. Most seats seemed to have a very good view of the band. I ordered hummus which I returned as unpalatable and the server was pleasant and accomodating. Also, the concert price for a world renown talent was very reasonable. Price per person: $10â20 Food: 1 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5

We have always had a wonderful time! The host, M. Murray always make us feel at home. It is an intimate, friendly, classy venue. There isnât a bad seat in the house! It is our âgo toâ when looking for a night of jazz! Price per person: $100+ Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5

In my experience as a jazz frequenter across several cities for years now and also as a musician who's played in bars and other venues in some of them, Regattabar is an excellent venue to patronize if you're looking to be treated like a sick cow about to pass on, complete with the humiliating looks of pity and contempt from your handlers, the so-called servers of the establishment, as they break the news to you that while you paid the same as everybody else to see the show, they have arbitrarily assigned you a seat with prime views of a massive pillar blocking 67% of the stage. Once you find out you've been punked, they don't do nothing to help you have a better time. After paying $35 to be herded to my seat with barely a view while my friends were put behind the pillar, I came to find out upon asking for a glass of water that I had to give them even more money because there's also a drink minimum. Apparently, this seat assignment policy, which seats patrons based on the dates of ticket purchase, is explained on the ticket purchase webpage, conveniently at the bottom of the site way under the Checkout buttonââyou know, in case you didn't expect that the purportedly well-reputed venue would have any sketchy practices to hide. My friends and I bought tickets one after another, only to find out upon arrival that we had been assigned seats far away from each other, with my friend getting the notorious pillar seat. When we asked if we could be seated together (we arrived as a group of four), the server dismissively told us No, while just a few minutes later a group near me was allowed to relocate to be with their friends. Here's the bottom line: if you're going to operate a music venue, you cannot sell general admission tickets that have such drastic differences in quality, as customers are expecting a similar and fair quality of seating within a given price bracket. Failure to make customers aware of such uneven quality distribution until they have been forced to sit behind a giant pillar is a deeply misleading and unethical practice. If you're unlucky enough to pay $35 for general admission plus a drink minimum expecting to be able to sit with your friends and to see the performers, the tables they seat you at are uncomfortably tiny so as to fit as many people as possible: they place their own sound engineer behind the same pillar that blocks two-thirds of the stage. If you weren't expecting a view or to experience the music with friends, and you just wanted to listen to live music emanating out of a pillar to the effect that listening to music at home would be no different, then rest assured in knowing that the sound system is awful, probably because they put their sound guy behind a pillar, at least when I went. Regattabar is not a place that respects you. If you want to enjoy music alone or with friends, go to a pub, a dive bar, a park, a brewery, or a cafe instead. Stand in front of the stage close enough to look up the performer's nostril without being told that you can't stand there because some guy on his phone the whole show bought a ticket one day before you. Have a fun night elsewhereââliterally anywhere elseââmy friend, and save yourself the cost, confusion, disrespect, deception, discomfort, elitism, and favoritism of going to Regattabar. Hell, just stay home and watch old jazz videos on YouTubeââyour TV probably sounds better than their sound system and there's no pillar blocking your couch and your TV. Two stars instead of one because they do have great talent and at least I didn't get hate-crimed or accosted. Hope this helps. Food: 2 Service: 1 Atmosphere: 1 Price per person: $30â50

Dear Eugene, Thank you for your time to review the club. As you have found, the room does have a support column that is at the tip of the stage. Many have tired, and it unfortunately is not able to be changed. We often take into careful consideration our guests, and we apologize that your friend has this view. We also are making changes to the seating configuration to improve views. We do hope you can return for a future show, and please contact us directly should you want to sit with a group of specific ticket holders. We will make sure it's a great table for all. Best Wishes, Kathryn Regattabar@charleshotel.com
