Maintenance Shop

Best music selection in Ames. Club Element can go fuck itself.

I like it‘s mix of music; and I think it‘s great that there‘s a venue in town that is willing to showcase up and coming local bands. And I‘m way beyond college age!

The absolue worst bar/venue in ames. Unless you have a bladder the size of large camel, don‘t plan on enjoying a show at this venue. Leave to pee and they won‘t let you back in. They don‘t have their own bathrooms. Theres that and the sound guy sucks!

I‘ve been on the fence with the M-shop ever since Derick Lester quit as the sound man.

Hands down the best place for live music in Ames. Great atmosphere and strong, eclectic booking make it a must for area music lovers.

Fun place to hang out.

I started eating lunch here as a freshman and by the time I was a senior everything on the menu had gotten way more expensive. The food is really good though.

Excellent range of live music for everyone. Definately the best place in Ames for live music.

A shadow of it‘s former self. Bands no one but the teenage "musical elite" want to hear. Where‘s the Jazz? Where‘s the Blues that made this place famous?
