- 2nd Floor: Perfect balance - close enough to see facial expressions but elevated for overview.

- Side Boxes (LT/RT): Angled views but more intimate feel. Great for small groups.
Pro Tips
- The Pabst's acoustics are excellent throughout - even upper sections sound incredible for jazz.
- Rows A in any section always have unobstructed views over the rail.
