    My first visit to this concert venue was excellent! I noticed two buildings at the Knuckleheads complex. Knuckleheads Saloon was an uncovered venue, and Knuckleheads Garage was a covered venue, with a group of garage doors along the west wall, and an extremely large ceiling fan. The tribute bands concert I attended ($15 including taxes and fees for Elton Dan and Almost Kiss) was at Knuckleheads Garage. It had a mix of seating including picnic tables, tables, and benches (on the west side).

    The cash-only bar area in the rear was nicely separated from the stage by a wall to reduce sound levels, and had a lounge area with a big screen TV showing the concert. Drink prices were fairly reasonable for a concert venue ($3.50 tall cans of beer and $6.00 wells), while the service at the bar was friendly and cheerful. Plenty of parking was available. Excellent, especially for the price!

    One of the best music places I have been to. They have so many stages and they are all so different. If you want a "historic" and eclectic place to hang out, Knuckleheads is the place.

    My mom and I go frequently to their Elvis Show in the Gospel Lounge. Jim Bergen (?) is quite the entertainer. He sings for 3 hours and never quits, all the while dressed like Elvis.

    Definitely look up the line ups for Knuckleheads because the outdoor stage is awesome! I feel like they try to have a wide variety of genres of music too.

    The staff of Knuckleheads is also always friendly! It seems like a fun place to work.

    They have a selection of foods and a pretty wide selection of alcohol.

    Check it out!

    I agree with most of the other reviews...building repurposed, open space, table reservation options, decent sizes dance floor.  I'm not a fan of the long tables in the middle...difficult to get in and out.  Cash only..not a fan.  Pluses..decent size dance floor, good variety of music choices and the size of the venue.

    Guys!! This place is amazing. All ages can be found having a good time here. Get drinks and awesome bar food here. Want to listen to a live band? They have that too! Wanna dance? Join the rest of the crowd dancing up a storm! Come out on a night with nice weather and this place will not disappoint. Some things are cash only but they do have an ATM inside!

    This was my first time to see a show at knuckleheads. I will be back!
    What a great venue. I love the people watching especially when the train rolls thru 15 feet away from the property.
    Went there to see the Boxmasters and ended up standing next to Ron White before the show was over!
    Only dig is the smoke. It's unreal how much the smoke can be an issue in an outdoor space.
