Balcony Details:

There is a balcony but it's only accessed via stairs. There are seats and tables, but they're usually reserved for VIPs. Sometimes the venue will let you sit there which is ideal because you are separated from most of the crowd, other times they will only give you a barstool in the balcony, and other fans will lean on you which is not ideal.

Seating: Yes, there's seating available for those who need it
Seating-Other/Details:

"The seating provided was a barstool against a wall but in a very crowded space of the main floor. There was nothing separating me from the main crowd, so when people pushed past to get to and from the bar, or into the pit, I felt unsafe."

Restrooms – Other/Details:

The only restrooms are in the basement, which can only be reached by stairs.
