1982 is one of the few all-ages venues in Gainesville. As such, there's always a more relaxed vibe, and the crowd for any given show is there because they love music. There's no putting on airs at this place. The stage is fairly big, and the views are okay. Sound can vary, depending on the band. They mostly have local acts, particularly in the punk or singer-songwriter molds, but it can vary. 1982 Bar also has a lot of video games, and a comedy nigh.
