Cat's Cradle - Back Room offers general admission, standing-room shows in an intimate, one-room layout that keeps you close to the stage. With open floor space and a casual setup, you can move around to find the right balance of view and crowd vibe for your night.

• Front of Stage: For fans who want an up-close connection and the most immersive energy, getting to the rail or first few rows of the crowd provides outstanding sightlines and that signature intimate feel.
• Center Floor: Stand a few rows back from the stage to capture a full-stage perspective with balanced sound and easy mobility to shift for the perfect view.
• Side Areas: The room’s perimeter offers a bit more elbow room while still keeping you close — great if you prefer a less dense crowd or easy access to the bar.
• Near the Merch Stand: If you love grabbing a T-shirt or vinyl early, watch for the merchandise area typically set up during events; it’s a convenient meet-up spot before or after the set.
