The Machine Shop, Flint

I can't speak for every show but I can speak for Foxy Shazam. The venue is incredibly loud and is all concrete to bounce the sound, if you don't want ringing ears I suggest earplugs and you'll still hear just fine. The venue isn't in the best part of Michigan but your car will be safe in the lot. The lot is pretty small so I would get there early to not need to park next door or across the street. It has the feel of a dirty hole in the wall venue and doesn't look to welcoming. The drinks were okay and I didn't get a feel for the bartenders so I won't comment their. What I can comment on is the staff/bouncers. They are incredibly professional and beyond willing and able to help and crowd control. I felt absolutely safe with the staff in the crowd and watching over the guests. Overall I wouldn't make a trip to see a band you've not heard of just for the venue experience. But if a band you want to see is playing here I would absolutely not hesitate to visit. Don't let the flint name scare you off from seeing a band. Again the bouncer staff and the door girl were fantastic.

If you're looking for an amazing concert venue look no further! Great shows, exceptionally low ticket prices, and very reasonable beer prices. If you're on the fence about checking them out, just go! You won't regret it.
