text: I have never stayed at the Eastside Cannery or even insomuch as gambled here so I was reluctant to leave a review I have only come here for shows and events So this review will be based on the Eastside Events Center which does not as of the date of this writing have a listing on Yelp and probably zero existing reviews in the more general Eastside Cannery listingnnThe Eastside Events Center is not much of an events centre It is located in a small ballroom on the second floor of the hotel casino Typically when I think events centre I imagine a separate structure resembling more of an arena than a bingo hallnnIn any case the box office is actually located at the front desk which is the queue one would get into on the night of events for tickets To be clear there is a small area to the right of front desk where the Box Office signage is located but one just gets in the regular general front desk queue in order to get serviced All windows will help you with your ticketingnnOnce the tickets are squared away you have a few dining options and there is also a temporary bar that gets set up before the merchswag and doors show speak for entrance to venuennLighting is absolute shit for shows concerts Sound is about as good as it is going to get in a room not designed for live music Assigned seating events is all I have experienced herennOne very nice touch is the complimentary hearing protection at the table where they scan you in In and outs are permitted They stamp your hand The restrooms are clean and well stocked There is a pleasant minty scent that fills the air when one urinates into the urinal nnThere are even water fountains or bubblers if you are Bostonian right outside doors or the area you reach the platform upon stepping off the escalator There are couches near the restrooms and seating all along the area outside doors or the bingo hall across the hall from the events centre that resembles a bingo hall nnBingo
