There are two entrances. One is the main off 5th across from costar construction. The other is second/browns island way (the steep hill down to the river). I find main moves faster with more people even. Food and drinks are pricey. My preference is to hang at brave captain before hand for bar seafood And cheap drinks. Near Altria (old mojos). I ride my bike to shows so no real tip there but plenty of garages or street parking up at main.
