If you are fortunate enough to be within a reasonable commute of the Allentown-Bethlehem, Pa area I would highly recommend you suscribe to their newsletter and see a concert there. What a great venue!
I know it's not unique to have a table and be waited on with food and drink all night long while enjoying a concert but it was our first time and although the prices were a bit "salty" we had a great time. Interesting setting with an old steel mill in the background(illuminated at night). There were several performances going on outdoors and a few musicians indoors all playing for free that we enjoyed while waiting for the doors to open at the cafe. Very cozy atmosphere in the cafe...no need for the jumbo screen in there, you could almost reach out and touch the performers. The two acts we caught interacted with the audience through the night making it a bit more personal. One of the few times I almost felt like I was in my living room. Looking forward to going back.

I have seen a couple of things there already. We were in the first group to be served at Steel Stacks. We saw a couple of guys do Simon and Garfunkle music. We even bought the CD they were that good.
I also highly recommend the place. Great sound, Great food and live music. It's a win win win situation.
