Editorial Review for Balcony at the Trocadero – by Mike Kennedy
In Short
The Balcony's interior, designed by local artist Mark Brodzik, pays homage to the Troc's origin as a burlesque theater, with plush red-velvet accents and images of Rubenesque strippers lining the walls. The conceptual approach extends into the men's room, where a series of peepholes above the urinals offer a glimpse of an old-school pinup beauty. The Balcony is a comfortable, cozy bar that hosts shows, screens movies and serves a decent selection of brews.

Insider Tips
When To GoOn Mondays, the Balcony shows cult films and hip, recent releases on the Troc's giant screen.
The ExtrasDuring the Troc's all-ages shows, the over-21 crowd trudges upstairs to sit and relax with a drink while the kids rough each other up on the floor below. The Balcony books bands several nights a week, with a few local groups usually closing out the night upstairs after a big show below.

My 1st live show was @ The Troc just a week ago after the worst vacation I've had in my life! I just about forgot about it all after going to that show. They had great bands, an awesome staff, a great atmosphere and I tell you you will have a good time here wether you're checkin' out a band or you're there for their Monday night movie special! You can't beat this place!
Pros: The Staff, the music, the atmosphere
Cons: None, I loved it!
