Curtain Club, Dallas

Curtain club no longer allows smoking inside. They do allow smoking on the patio.

Curtain club has a great sound system but not much else. The facility is basically a dump, and since smoking is permitted, it makes listening to some good bands pretty difficult. Let the smokers smoke outside and pay someone to clean the place. $8 to get in is OK since drinks are not too expensive (mixed drink $3.75). Also, the so-called "battle of the bands" is really a battle of which band can get more people to come to the venue and purchase tickets. The band that sells the fewest tickets goes on first, and the last band on sells the most. Given that the fans of the earlier bands have left in order to maintain their health by not breathing all the smoke, whether one wins or not has nothing to do with talent.
