WARNING for Bands and DJ’s
We were ripped-off for over $300 when we were told our personal stuff was in a secure room behind the bar and the next day when we arrived it was missing. Don’t risk it with these places is our experience.
Two places in Upland, both owned by the same people, have staff member that Steal Personal Possessions from Band’s and potentially DJ’s, as well as from the guests of the bands. The managers admit to the problem, then Stonewall for a week or so until the owners get around to leaving a message on your phone denying anything occurred and threatening the band with litigation (legal action) for “harassment” for asking in a polite, businesslike way 1about the missing property recovered by the staff.
Do with this information as you see fit and google the owners and the places. Both places have a hundred bad reviews regarding various issues

Both owned by Mark Davidson and 2nd Ave also co-owned by Jeff Burum. Both investigated by the FBI and Jeff, if guilty of bribing San Bernardino Co officials already in prison, for arranging a $100 Million development settlement is looking at multiple felony’s. Google it. Not making this up.
Other managers names are Mike Rodriguez, Richard, and Joselyn
Too many other places to play where if an issue occurs, the owner wants to make it right to preserve their reputation.
