Is El Corazón 21+ Or All Ages?

Both. Primarily, El Corazón is a 21+ venue, in other words, a bar. On occasion, and sometimes it’s more often then not, we throw All Ages shows (labeled as ALL AGES/BAR W/I.D.). Because we’re legally a bar, our all ages shows run differently than those at an exclusive all ages venue, such as the Paradox or the Vera Project. During our all ages shows, the bar is still open, but only in a strictly separate area of the venue. We have a curfew (generally our all ages shows don’t run any later than midnight), there are no in/outs for persons under 21 and there is heightened security.

What kind of music is performed at the Funhouse / El Corazon?

Mostly we are a rock venue. Rock N’ Roll. Punk Rock. Indie Rock. Hardcore. Metal. Sweater Rock. Emo. Math Rock. Experimental. Post Punk. Electroclash. You name it. We also dabble in electronic and hip hop, but we are always experimenting and expanding our horizons.
