TicketHold | The Record Bar Seating Chart & Seat Views Guide

Your Ultimate Guide to The Record Bar’s Seating & Views

The Record Bar, a beloved intimate music venue, offers an unparalleled live experience with its cozy atmosphere and stellar acoustics. Known for hosting indie, jazz, and alternative acts, its layout ensures every seat feels close to the action. Here’s how to navigate its seating for the best experience.

Seating Chart Overview

General Admission (Floor): Standing-room only, ideal for energetic crowds. Close to the stage but can get crowded.
Balcony (Limited Seating): Elevated views with barstool seating. Great for sightlines but limited availability.
Bar Area: Casual vibe with easy drink access, though views may be partially obstructed by pillars.

Best Seats for Different Events

  • Concerts: Front-center floor for immersion; balcony for a panoramic view.
  • Comedy Shows: Mid-floor or balcony to avoid neck strain.

Seat Views & Obstructions

Floor spots near the stage offer artist intimacy but may lack elevation. Balcony seats provide unobstructed sightlines, though rear bar stools may have limited visibility. Watch for pillars near the bar area.

VIP & Accessibility

  • VIP: Occasionally offered front-row perks or meet-and-greets—check event details.
  • Accessibility: ADA-compliant entry and viewing areas; contact staff for assistance.

Pro Tips

  • Arrive early for floor spots at popular shows.
  • Balcony seats sell fast—book in advance.
  • For budget options, bar-area tickets often cost less.
