The Haw River Ballroom - Saxapahaw

Five stars, all for Jenny Lewis! But the ballroom is great too.

Located within a small shopping lot with some delicious restaurants and great views all around. Great venue for a smaller show, feeling both roomy and intimate. Note that the only permanent seats are the balcony ones, by the back of the ballroom.

This is an amazing venue and you should see a show here if you get the opportunity!

I love this venue, but PLEASE stop stamping the inside of people's wrists! There was way too much ink on the stamp and it got all over the side of my tee shirt. If the stamp had been placed on the back of my hand, this would not have happened.

It IS a great venue inside. That said, PLEASE do something about the parking. Not only is it NOT well marked, but at night, it's downright scary and unsafe to walk toward your car in the pitch black dark with NO street lights to help guide you as well as deter potential lurkers. P.S. I see from reviews FIVE years ago that the parking has not changed, despite management comments to the contrary. For shame. Rural community or not ... if you can't make your venue more accessible and safe, then why bother with having a venue at all? Sure, you get returning customers, but how many more stay away? I for one am hesitant about ever going again.
