Limited parking. Restrooms need updating. Uncomfortable folding chairs floor level for viewing a concert production. Cash only ticket sales at the door for shows.

Great venue for concerts. The balcony is great if you don't want to deal with the floor crowd.

The Historic German House is such a great venue for a variety of events. From the outside, the house itself does not look so expansive. That is till you walk in there where passageways, and sub levels will stretch for miles. That day I happened to be a part of the BSides Roc Event that the German House was hosting. This was an event where techies, hackers, computer nerds, and nerds in general came together. My agenda for the day was jammed packed with lectures, presentations, group projects, and demos. From the starting door we were all equipped with all our tech gear. Thanks to Bsides Roc for the clip protector with lock, and Siege Technologies for the cool Mission Impossible Pen. You walk into this giant auditorium that looks like an old school German House Restaurant. You can picture the long rows of tables with people eating food, and drinking beer. The first activity was laid out for us at the center table which was building a Kinnex Roller Coaster. Building this roller coaster required a lot of team work, and concentration. The one 10 year-old kid in our group smoked us in putting all the pieces together, but thanks to him we won (way to go buddy!). The food portion was completely catered by BUTA PUB. The breakfast sandwich I had was HUGE, and it tasted delicious with sizzling apple-wood smoked bacon, melted cheese, egg, and juicy caramelized onions. It was topped with this sweet-tangy Koren styled Buta Pub sauce. Originally I ordered two of these sandwiches, but was so satisfied with the first one I gave the other to the kid who helped our Kinnex team win. Buta Pub is located on the lower level of the German House-BONUS ( I will get more into Buta Pub with my review of the place). Before setting off to my official agenda, I made sure to pick up a BSides Roc VIP shirt at the gift shop.
Upstairs in the German House was Lock-Picking Village. This was a chance to practice with TOOOL Roc to unlock gadgets and gizmos. Google! tip- Lock-picking is NOT like TV, where they do it in 2 seconds. The instructor said on average it could take up to an hour to lock-pick a door/locker. It was so time consuming digging around in that little hole to level pins, eventually I just gave up. More power to the people who were up there for hours. There are many things I would like to unlock, a keyhole is not one of them.
Behind the GIANT Theater Stage where doors that lead through many passageways. All which were connected to the lecture classrooms. The rooms in the German House reminded you more of the vintage 1920's era with the white beaded paneling along the walls. It was also hot and balmy in the rooms, similar to attending school in the 1920's as well. Coming into these lectures I totally thought I was going to be a fish out of water. To my surprise, I actually knew what they were talking about. I am sure that it also helped that this will be my 4th year working with computer software companies. Ronny Bull hosted a dynamic lecture in Exploring Layer 2 Network Security in Virtualized Environments. This really established a need at creating better security networks within Virtual Machines. The discussions and debates where so intense it was like "holy freaken Star Wars!". I had to stand up in the middle of the class at one point and be like, "Its ok, Luke really did get his hand chopped off". Another amazing lecture was by Silas Cutler in Internet Scan Data and You. I learned the details about meta-data to the 10th level with this lecture, ironic because that was the one thing I missed last week on my certification test.
Overall: 1920's Vintage, Huge Theater/Stage, Ample Auditorium Seating, ButaPub, BSides Roc, Lock-Picking Village, Kinnex, Lectures, Nerds, and Star Wars!....of course I will be back.

I love this venue for live music. It is so authentic and comfy. Sound works well in this room. Very nice place to catch a live show, then continue around back to have a great meal.
