Yelp.com Review - by dave h.

3.0 of 5 stars. I too went to Arctic Monkeys on 9/26/09 and thought it was a good place for a show. I was just off to the left of the stage and thought the sound was great. Maybe it's just because the Monkeys are...

Yelp.com Review - by Becky S.

4.0 of 5 stars. I'm not sure why so many people are hating on this place. I went there for the first time last night and loved it. I saw the Arctic Monkeys and I did not notice any issues with the sound. No matter...

Yelp.com Review - by Jake N.

1.0 of 5 stars. I despise this place. The security guards tend to be tools, the bartenders suck (except the VIP ones, they're quite good), the band chosen to play here can suck, the sound sucks, and it's almost...

Yelp.com Review - by Phil M.

1.0 of 5 stars. I f*cking hate this place. I hate the name, the location, the room(s).There is nothing redeeming, here. Thankfully, the Pabst is taking/promoting the attractive, mid-level stuff. And, farming the...

Yelp.com Review - by R. H.

1.0 of 5 stars. one of the worst sounding venues you'll ever be in. cheapskate owner pockets money he makes off $7 beers instead of investing in a decent PA or a working smoke eater. horrible staff, bad security...

Yelp.com Review - by Roy L.

2.0 of 5 stars. The Rave is Milwaukee's version of Chicago's Metro, Aragon, and Beat Kitchen combined. Except, not nearly as good.It's not a bad venue itself, but it's in a shady part of town, so you had better...

Yelp.com Review - by ericalynn g.

2.0 of 5 stars. I am so perplexed. I saw one of the BEST shows of my life at this venue, but the sound was so awful that when we have tried to listen to the show since then it's virtually unlistenable. The place is...

Yelp.com Review - by Stephanie M.

1.0 of 5 stars. I find it odd that no Milwaukeeans have aired their opinions of this overpriced bastion of the live music scene.Oh, Rave. I spent so much of my youth here and remember you being much more reasonable....

3.0 of 5 stars. Ah, Milwaukee....just another suburb of Chicago.First off....I am too old to be crowd surfing at shows and getting up on stage, but then, here we are. Thank you Rave staff for not letting me get...

very good by Susan H. at InsiderPages

The Rave is a good place to go to a concert. We like being there since it's not all the way downtown, but I don't always feel safe. There of course are drunks at concerts, but I don't feel safe when we're...

Yelp.com Review - by Alexzandra A.

5.0 of 5 stars. This place is fucking awesome and creepy! I love that you can get lost in here, there are very few buildings like this. Although they may not always book the best acts I have never been to a show here...

Yelp.com Review - by Mike W.

3.0 of 5 stars. One of the smokiest places to catch a show in town. The acoustics are mediocre at best, and the atmosphere is not worth raving over. But then again Milwaukee does have a lot of venues this size, so it...

Yelp.com Review - by J L.

4.0 of 5 stars. One of the best places to catch a show in town. (Unless the Globe East is still open- that places totally wins). Come here or Shank Hall to see big name rock/alternative/metal bands and local bands...
