Granite State Music Hall NH

Small club in Laconia for very close shows. Capacity has to be 200 or so and the one thing I would improve has to be air circulation. Maybe an extra ceiling fan or 2 would help. Overall a cool spot for a show and you get close to the bands. Check their website for upcoming gigs.

The Underground Lounge is an awesome bar with billiards, games, lots of seating and a great sports bar. Also a second stage with professional lights and sound with a big dance floor. Upstairs the Music Hall has it all. Killer sound and lights with a large open General Admission space for most concerts but some seating all around the walls and in back. I have seen some seated shows with different rows and sections but it’s temporary seating not a seated venue. There’s no food, but it’s a music venue. The beer selection has gotten a lot more diverse and all around the ticket prices are not expensive for the bands that play there. It’s a top notch music venue with a great bar and second stage right downstairs. The shows are a bit drawn out from doors at 6pm usually the opening acts start between 7:00 PM and 8:00 PM, then the headliner is on around 9:00 PM and plays to 10:30 or 11:00. So no need to wait in line at 5:00 unless you want a table in the back. Great time every time!

With the Governor's stay at home order and restrictions on social gatherings, I understand that this business would be closed and all performance tours would be suspended or cancelled. This business, however, has been terrible in updating information on impacted events, or even stating if they are still in business and have shut down permanently. Example, the"One Night of Queen" concert. It was April 14th, but was rescheduled for Tuesday, April 27th, 2021. The information was never posted to their website, Facebook page or posted in their window. Even StubHub had to wait awhile to be updated. This is a poor way to inform ticket holders. Even if the music hall is waiting for updates from the performing artists, the business should keep their customers informed as much as possible. Update: March, 2022; Reopened awhile ago. The website doesn't provide much information ??. StubHub is not up to date with information about this venue either.
