I have played many shows here and seen even more. Place needs an update with sound and the overall warehouse look.

Really it is the only place to go to see great shows in Charlotte.

I hate to give such a unique place as Tremont a less than average review, but I feel I must.  Maybe it's just not my scene, but for those who share similar views on places, this review will not be biased by any means.

Its location is nice, and there is adequate, albeit crappy grass lot free parking.  I came to this venue to support a friend of mine who is a bassist in a band for some 2-day event (ATA??).  We came only an hour early and I'm glad we didn't come any earlier.

It's an old warehouse with 2 big rooms which have 1 stage each.  One of the rooms also has a dodgeball court painted on the floor the dodgeball league they have there.

It's all black inside, although there's average lighting.  The place is FILLED with smoke and it's not well ventilated at all (Sept visit).  The crowd is definitely younger which I suppose makes for cheap beer, and the dress code is, well what you'd expect for a warehouse music venue that plays the kind of music they play here.

Its a cool concept for a music venue, but it really needs some work done to it, it's real shanty.  I prefer Amos'.

Just my 2cents.

I hate to give such a bad review, but this place is no bueno!  I don't know where to begin.  It is too smoky, seems really dirty, they don't serve liquor, and in the summer is is SO HOT!  I could feel the sweat dripping down my back.  Lots of kids too.

Tremont gets 5 stars for nostalgia sake  alone. I was here about a year 1/2 ago seeing a show and it really wasn't that much different than when I used to hang around ten years ago. It did kinda feel like that line in Dazed and Confused though. Tremont definitely draws a young crowd.

Busted couches everywhere.

Only been here three or four times.  Saw the Offspring here in 97.  Great show.  The place was like a warehouse with puke stained couches and bars everywhere.  I took my buddies home bc they were too drunk to drive and then I got a dwi on the way home.  Go figure.  Expensive concert.  I don't drink now but look forward to my next visit to Tremont.

I've been to several shows here and every time I think back my nose just wrinkles up in rememberance of the smell this place emanates. However, I have to say it holds a lot of fond memories for me. Now that I'm older I can't ever make it to a show anymore. Mainly because all the shows are geared towards teeny-boppers who have a 10 o'clock curfew. For those of use who bartend or damn-it don't want to wait in a line before the sun goes down - it's not the best schedule to offer. And why do I feel like I'm corrupting someone by having a beer at one of these shows? And from what I remember they don't have liquor so I can't really corrupt someone by doing some raunchy sounding shot if I wanted to. 3 stars mainly for the fond memories I have - otherwise it's two.

I love going to see concerts- especially if they are held in little venues where you can feel the heat of the band no matter where you stand. Be prepared to literally run and smash into strangers, depending on the concert. Everything goes when it comes to concert attendees- pierced cheeks maybe, neon green hair- who knows, everyone just rocks all night long. The area is a bit out of town and in an empty(ish) area... perfect for getting rowdy.

I used come here all of the time back in high school to see rock acts.  The atmosphere is very grungy and black, and the staff is really great.  Not much has really changed to this establishment since I came here years ago, but it still works.  Like everyone else has mentioned, I kind of feel out of place there now, because all of the rockers are like sixteen.  Someone mentioned that Security does a good job at keeping people safe, this might be true sometimes, but when I saw Danzig here they were right in the pit throwing bows.  A fun time though.

I would say this is the junior version of DC's legendary 9:30 club. Not particularly the largest venue so you can expect an intimate setting. Let me just warn you that the crowd is quite young... as in there will be few of voting age there. Nevertheless, it is a fun place to go. I've caught a couple indie acts here with a couple of friends and it was great because the crowd is significantly smaller.

I have visited Tremont on several occasions for both small and large sets, and have been pleased overall.  It looks like an old warehouse turned music venue, but have done some nice things with it.  Naturally, the bathroom facilities are small and fairly disgusting.  Ticket prices are usually fair (depending on the show).  Security does a good job of being attentive and keeping people safe, but still allow for people to have fun.  If a band you like it playing here, I'd recommend checking it out.

Tremont is your hardcore/metal/emo/indie cement hole of a hotspot.  This place caters to the metal crowd as well as the high school emo kids.  The ticket prices are usually cheap, and they recently updated their bar to include liquor.  This place is typically full of regulars, be they slutty 15 year olds in black makeup (male or female) or 300 lbs ICP fans.  Tremont annually hosts groups like GWAR and the Insane Clown Possie, but they pride themselve on offering a good selection of local acts.  I love to go for people watching and that great dive bar feel, but they occasionally have some awesome acts like the Roots.  Oh, and flirting with the male bartenders can get you everywhere.
