I've been to HoB dozens of times, but nothing recently until a concert the other night.\n\nThe venue is small enough to make you feel close to all the action, but big enough to where it isn't overly crowded.\n\nIt is probably my most favorite place to listen to live music in town truthfully.  Most other places are much much larger, and you don't have the same effect being there.\n\nThe security here are actually decent people, not too harsh and stern like they were a few years ago.  Seems like they lessened up a bit.\n\nPrices are usually reasonable too, but that obviously depends on who's playing.
