Crema's Take

“Opus Concert Cafe is a intimate live music venue that doubles as a comfortable coffee shop, making it the perfect spot to linger before or after catching local performances. The crowd here genuinely cares about the experience—reviewers rave about the welcoming atmosphere and the chance to settle in for an evening of quality entertainment, whether that's jazz, indie music, or hidden gems you won't find elsewhere. If you're looking for a place where a good cup of coffee pairs naturally with live art and real community, this Cedar Rapids gem delivers that rare combination.”

I have attended many performances at Opus and love its atmosphere and comfort. But at last night's performance, 4 of the 6 people in our group wanted to enjoy a beer during Lynn's show, and the only choice was some weird dark beer or a kolsch. The bartender said they don't have enough events in July to keep more beer stocked. Really? How hard is it to go out and buy a 12-pak of Busch Light or Easy Eddy to satisfy paying concert goers? Disappointing.

Such a great venue for an intimate evening of live music! I took my wife to see and hear the Oceana concert, promoting their latest album (and this talented group of individuals BRING IT every time!) This was our first event attended at the Opus Concert Cafe, and we will be back again. Such a bargain, too... check it out.
