Club Goodman is one of the best live houses that I've been to, and I've probably spent more time here than any of the others.

The sounds quality of this house is excellent, and the staff is very friendly. They have a great backstage dressing room area, which some of the other houses don't have. I think this is a plus when going back to talk to the band members away from the noise but still within the club. Additionally for band members it's great because they have an actual place to change, and keep some equipment until it's their turn to setup and go on stage.

They have several tables in the floor which is good, and on one of the far side walls there is a long bench for many people who might want to sit down. Additionally, under the loft where the sound guys sit, there is another sitting area with tables and chairs.

This house is amazingly simply and quick to get to from Akihabara station. Just walk out the Showadori Exit, out of the station and past Yodobashi Camera on the left. Cross the street, and make a right. Walk down 3 side streets and make a left. Club Goodman is about 20 meters down on the right side, past the music store, and is located in the basement (as most are).

Pricing for this place is about the same as the others, around 2000-2500 yen depending on the headliners etc. Again, this is pretty standard.

Club Goodman has a really nice screen where they play music videos, etc. during intermissions. Very cool! Additionally, they have several TV displays and cameras to record the shows, which I haven't seen in many of the live houses.

All in all, Club Goodman ranks as one of my top 3 live houses in Tokyo.
