I went to Center Stage for one of the nights of Cake last month and I really enjoyed my visit. It's a venue complex so you had the main theater where the concert took place as well as the small room Vinyl open this night as a smoking room. Love this feature since there is no smoking inside Center Stage. It got warm inside with all the people but luckily they had a cheap coat check. Re-entry was no problem switching between the two venues for smoke breaks. Security just checked for a hand stamp and knew you after a couple of in and outs.
Drinks aren't cheap but aren't any more than other venues like Masquerade and probably cheaper than Tabernacle from what I remember. No issues with the staff or security like the last reviewer had, I thought everyone I came in contact with was pleasant.
Inside the venue you've got standing room and sitting. Seats are a nice option especially with general admission since you get your pick of whatever view you want (but I'll get there early from now on with sold out nights like this one!) I'm looking forward to going back this week for the return of Glassjaw!!
