Don’t use your credit/debit cards here! This is the second time on two separate occasions they have charged the amount owed. Then charged the amount including tip. Idk what they are trying to do??? They are either too dumb to run a credit card machine or are hoping you don’t look at your bank statement and realize they are double charging you.

My two absolute favorite bartenders in the world, Lizzy and Michelle. You can find them keeping it mellow and laid back almost every day of the week, with their coloring books and fun anecdotes. The atmosphere is never pretentious or stuffy, and I always feel safe when I’m out by myself. I love the quality of drinks. I love the suggestions, when I can’t make up my mind, and I love enjoying a local act in the lounge while these lovely ladies serve up my favorite drinks! Also, when I’m down to turn up, I love catching a round of mainstage karaōke, or a fun Dance party that is truly always a blast. People actually dance, and the music is anything but typical. The themes are always fun, and the regulars feel like family.

Well, the cat is gone and all that is left is ear crushing bass. I came here to see Mimosa and I just couldn’t stand the bass. Loose clothing was being pushed backwards at every bass drop, and I could feel my hair moving backwards like the maxwell guy(I’m not exaggerating). I value my hearing and I am 100% certain that they had the volume at excessively unsafe levels. «More» does not equate to «better,» and the gigantic amount of bass completely destroyed any nuance that the music may have had. This venue is too small for the power they push out of that audio system. Its like being trapped in a metal box that people are hitting with hammers. The show started a solid hour and a half after the start time Mesa posted on their Facebook, and then the awful opener proceeded to play for an hour and a half. I understand some of this is the touring artists fault, but damn. I’ve never had a worse time at a concert. I doubt I’ll be going back if this is the new normal.

Came to see Datsik tonight. Love him but think the venue needs to lay off the bass. People are going to wake up to internal bleeding in their ears! Also no alc. was being served and nothing was mentioned of this prior to buying tickets. I’m a music lover but this venue ruined this show :(

This is THE place to see amazing bands in Grand Junction. They bring talent from everywhere and in every genre — the rock and metal shows I have attended were all great, music and lights awesome — bands friendly and happy to be there even with small crowds. I hesitate to share this little gem as most nights the shows are just like a «Meet-n-Greet» with the artists coming off the stage to Mosh with the crowd and staying to sign autographs after the show. The staff are friendly and appreciative of repeat guests, they make a point to acknowledge you! Prices are amazingly cheap! Tantric show was only $ 20!!! Many shows are only $ 5 and they respect and honor our troops with free admission to many shows — the same for college students. Check out their web page and join FB groups for notifications of bands in the genre you prefer. This place is the BEST in GJ!

AVOIDAVOIDAVOID!!! Ive had the worst experience with this venue. Albeit they were nice to my national touring band but that was only to their face, as they’d walk around the corner from them and complain to me over the phone. We had a specific«full tour package» that was stated in the booking request, over email numerous times, written out in the contract numerous times that they signed to the point where I dont know how it could of been communicated more — I have the emails and contracts for proof. They loaded the bill up with 2 – 3 unapproved local bands and refused to remove them. Once they removed them they tried to bill me for having to re-do the artwork and claimed damage to ticket sales. I noticed the unapproved bands were added in June and immead. went to politely request the remedy stating that I didnt want to cause injury or insult to the locals, and we could avoid that if it was done immead. before they went out and pushed tickets to their friends. I went in circles with Erik about this and he refused to remove them until about 2 weeks ups to the show. Now let’s get to the deposit, Andrew doesn’t seem to know to understand the specific beneficiary detail I sent him and decided to input differently which locked the funds up at the bank and to this day after probably 50 follow up emails I still have not received. I don’t recommend this venue to anyone — terrible service, terrible treatment, terrible business. I give this venue two thumbs down! AVOIDBYALLCOSTS. Only reason they got one star is to allow me to review. If negative stars were an option, there’d be one for every follow up email Ive made, one for ever dollar on the deposit ill never receive and one for request I made reminding them it was sold as a «full package tour».

Last night I ventured to the Mesa for the first time. Excited to see Buckcherry. What a cool little place. Band was great and we could get right up close. Never did get a single drink the entire set as the bartenders were just terrible. They were basically chillin with their buds and pouring a drink here a there. Waited for 10 minutes behind one other that didn’t have his drink either before giving up. Replace them and 5 Stars for sure.

Great small venue with a great sound system. They have a nice selection of acts, and entertainment(movies, local, regional and national bands). Great staff, whether the bartenders, wait staff or security. There have been a couple of times that I’ve seen people have gate crashed, and they were dealt with promptly.

I’ve been here several times now, and have to say that I am really impressed! First– the drinks are reasonably priced. I’ve spent the last 11 years in California, and I must say, it’s awesome not getting a $ 25 check for just a couple beers. Second– Have you ever seen a bartender that seems like they hate their job? I don’t get to go out very often, but, when i do it’s usually to leave my problems behind and have a little fun. It really defeats the purpose of going out to get away from the daily BS of life, just to find yourself dealing with the bartenders/staffs problems. You will not get that at the Mesa Theater. Everyone here seems to love their job, and if they don’t, it sure as hell doesn’t show. The bartenders here are all class acts! Lastly, I hate having to deal with macho, insecure bouncers, and to put it bluntly, I have never been to a club that doesn’t have at least one, with one exception: Mesa Theater. All the security staff here is over the top helpful, and not over the top macho. I don’t see them jumping on customers just to jump on them. They are all very nice, and are very good at explaining«why» some rules are the way they are, and not«because I’m the bouncer and I said». Overall, I give the Mesa Theater 5 stars, because of friendly staff and a good atmosphere; a place where everybody is welcome. It also helps during hard times and a slow economy, one Jack and Coke doesn’t cost $ 14.

One of my favorite music venues I have ever been to. They have a separate bar section upstairs for those above 21 who choose to booze while they groove. It’s a nice addition to have for those all ages shows. The downstairs is even tiered with bars to lean up against, so that you can actually see over who’s in front of you. And for those who like to mosh, there’s a pit just for you. Lots bands have fallen in love with this venue and keep coming back despite the sometimes waning crowds. Some folks who have stopped by: Gwar, Big Head Todd & the Monsters, Reverend Horton Heat, Flowbots, Tech 9, etc, etc, etc. Makes sure to check the listings! NOTE: Mesa Theater is newly remodeled and they are boasting some major improvements! Story Time: Once I was late for a show with my boyfriend a few winters ago. We had, in usual procrastination form, not bought our tickets yet. As it turns out, the band was sold out. As we stood there in front, him shielding me from the cold, we tried to figure out what else to do with our night, after deciding to just call it quits, we started walking to the car. A few seconds later, the guy from the ticket office had run after us saying that he had two tickets that we could have! He said we were just to cute to walk away all sad like that, so he gave us some tickets that were not picked up. After an already very difficult day, he just swooped in and made it 100x’s better!!! We were even just in time for the main act. What a perfect ending to the day, I will always remember that. :-)
