A small venue in a 1930s-era breadmaking facility and car dealership, this concert hall has an industrial vibe and hosts acts across genres. With Parts & Labor serving upgraded bar food just next door, and a covered patio attached, you can start and end your evening all in the same hip spot.

Great venue. Sound and staff are exceptional. There are some places to sit but its mostly standing. There is a patio area that is covered in case it rains. Free water available. Bar is large and comprehensive. Concert started and ended on time. First concert I have been to in awhile that did not smell like weed at all. The patio area was where all the smokers hung out. This is my main reason for the 5 star rating. We could all share the music but did not have to share the substances!

Saw Bear Ghost tonight! The venue was great. The other patrons not so much. Had 2 drinks spilled on us in a matter of minutes and the person who spilled them didn't care. Hopefully our next experience will be better.

We love Motorco because it’s a small venue with affordable tickets. Standing room only with a few stadium bench seats on one side. The best thing is that it’s part large outside patio bar + open air inside bar/restaurant + indoor music venue. Great food, drinks, service and people! It’s also close to other bars and restaurants in a cool little neighborhood.

5/5 Experience - Saw Tokyo Tea Room.

Bartenders are tentative and super chill. Venue is next door a bar/outdoor hangout spot where you can grab a quick eat/drink. Small area for you to sit but limited seating - more of a standing venue.!

I came here to see Tokyo Tea Room on 10/10/2026. This was a nice venue and they did a good job with accomodations for me having a recent back injury, I just kind of wish I could have saved a spot on the bleachers because every time I had to use the bathroom I'd come back to my spot being taken! I know that's just typical concert stuff so no foul against the venue. I will say when I entered, a guy working there knew who I was based solely off of my name, so it was nice to see that they actually listen and pay attention to their guests! I would maybe suggest putting down some sort of sign or taped off area or something strictly to let the others know that that seating is for those who require accommodations only.

I did appreciate that the drinks were a bit stronger as compared to other music venues I've been to. There's also a connected bar/restaurant so you can make an entire evening all in one spot if you really wanted to, but there's a ton of other bars and restaurants around the area if you feel like exploring; I personally didn't feel unsafe anywhere around and I was alone.
I would definitely return here for another show!
