Goldfield Trading Post

Cool place. Live music venue with a kitchen, a full bar and a decent selection of beers on tap. The place was clean and well maintained. Good service and the atmosphere was dimly lit and cozy. I dropped off my child and a friend out front for a live music show they'd be attending. I returned a couple hours later, grabbed a hazy little thing and sat and waited in a booth for the live show to end. Great little spot and easy to find on J St.

I didn't eat anything while I was here, as I only went to attend a concert. The concert area is very small, but the acoustics were amazing. There is no seating in the performance area, so be prepared to be standing for however many hours. Also, be warned, it gets VERY hot in the performance area. They had a couple industrial fans going in the merch sales area , but it didn't help much unless you were close to them.

It’s true!! After the pandemic most bars are either understaffed and inattentive, and if you get a friendly smile and small talk you’re quite lucky. It’s standard now to be patient and just enjoy that you’re getting a drink with the longer wait time. I’ve been coming here for years to see all types of bands and solo artists perform. Some are super cool that they let you take pictures with them afterwards. It’s definitely a cool spot more on the intimate crowd since the space is limited but overall a cool vibe. There are also multiple bars on the grid where you can preparty before the show. You’re welcome 😉
