I just saw a good show last night - School of Rock at Manhattan the Club. It's in the building where the Ingraham hotel is, downstairs on Douglas St. All in all I'd say it's a sweet venue and I think they are hiring bands. It's about the size of Logan's but has a more central stage and better sound/lights. Also unlike Logan's they aren't charging $10-12 for bands who haven't rehearsed.

Thought I'd throw it out there. - Sat, 28 Jun 2008 2:07pm

I thought the Ingy basement was the size of a (low-ceilinged) arena. - Sat, 28 Jun 2008 2:25pm

The old Ingy is a Liquor Plus now I think the Manhatten must be in the old cougar club in the back,, Capone's I think it was called amongst other things. - Sat, 28 Jun 2008 2:44pm

I'm sure it is a fine room and has fine sound.
Too bad about the name. - Sat, 28 Jun 2008 3:09pm

London Arms is the British pub upstairs from Manhattan. And as I understand, yes, it has been in business before but not for years. As far as I'm concerned, a great place for local shows. - Sat, 28 Jun 2008 6:33pm

I love that bar, and I'm still miffed there is no Ingraham Lounge anymore. - Sat, 28 Jun 2008 8:16pm

I remember about 4 years ago we saw Platinum Blonde open up for Flock Of Seagulls there. Good times...........so much cheesy 80's goodness. Had a blast. 500 people in there. All 40+ years old. Cougness. - Sat, 28 Jun 2008 8:22pm

Platinum Blonde AND Flock of Seagul?
I saw Platinum Blonde 6 or 7 years ago at Julie's, but somehow I missed the F.o.S. tour.
Damn.
Must have been epic. - Sat, 28 Jun 2008 11:20pm

I have news for you Trevor. If you saw a band play at Julie's, it was a bit longer than 6 or 7 years ago. It would probably be like 14 or 15 years ago.

I saw two shows at The Ingy.. Zimmers Hole and Quiet Riot!

I miss the cheap food specials and watching old blue collar rubbies play shuffleboard.

I won a few meat draws there too. I remember once Craig (Black Lotus, Acorn Hell) won a massive package of sausages. - Sun, 29 Jun 2008 12:24pm Edited: Sun, 29 Jun 2008 12:25pm

I miss the psychotic sports paintings on the walls that had pitchers with a third arm or hockey players with a third leg. - Sun, 29 Jun 2008 3:28pm

I know they were having a major meltdown when we played there with SNFU. Apparently they were getting noise complaints from up on the third floor. I knew then that it would be a very short lived endevour. - Wed, 16 Jul 2008 11:59pm
