A small venue in a 1930s-era breadmaking facility and car dealership, this concert hall has an industrial vibe and hosts acts across genres. With Parts & Labor serving upgraded bar food just next door, and a covered patio attached, you can start and end your evening all in the same hip spot.

Beautiful venue. Great staff. Amazing acoustics. Access to great food including a beautiful outdoor area and adjacent restaurant. We went to see VOLA and it was an absolutely amazing show. -
We saw Model/Actriz on 3/23 and we cannot say enough about the staff and crew.
My husband and I have disabilities, and my husband is medically fragile. It's pretty rare to be able to go out AND have it be accessible for him. We couldn't have asked for better.
We were allowed early entry, and my husband could sit down and get around. (Not always available together!) Bathrooms were also accessible, and well lit. Drinks were generous and delish! People checked on us during the show, even the band shouted us out! It helped us feel like rockstars.
Now, accessible parking didn't look like it was close to the venue, so I'd have to double check. We parked in a garage close, but he still had to walk a bit, so we were grateful he didn't have to stand all night. -
Motorco Music Hall is a fantastic venue for live music! I attended the Nicotine Dolls show on March 24th and the venue had great sound and sightlines. The space is a good size for a great crowd with the added convenience of Parts and Labor next door for food before or after a show. -
Motorco is a great place to catch live music. Great sound & you can sit or stand for the same price. They have a great bar & food area adjacent to the venue so you can come early for a beverage & food or relax afterwards with your favorite brew.
There is local parking, but most is fee based & fills up quickly especially on the weekend. -
Amazing place, we played with our band and the sound and the ambience was amazing. Food and drinks are also a high point.
