Enjoy delicious beer. ZIGGYS NC provides you with a great choice of dishes at low prices. Come here for the lovely atmosphere. Based on the users' feedback on Google, this place deserved 4.6.
For a lot of folks, some of what I say will be unnecessary because the reputation of Ziggys.Space (A.K.A Ziggys’s 3.0 or just plain Ziggy’s) and it’s owner Jay Stephens has been so well known by music lovers in NC for decades. But for those who don’t know, the backstory is part of the appeal of seeing this place thrive. The original Ziggy’s and Ziggy’s 2.0 were both located in Winston Salem and both could be counted on for booking some of the hottest bands around during their days.
That legacy now continues since this new Ziggys.Space opened April 1, 2022 in an outdoor courtyard location near downtown High Point as part of the Cohab Space campus for makers and artists. On its website, Cohab states that it “aims to spark change by serving as a hub for creativity, craftsmanship, and leadership.” It’s a really cool place and while you visit Ziggy’s for a show, you can also have a peek at some of the beautiful items for sale inside the actual gallery.
The courtyard outdoors where you find the stage is surrounded on three sides with old, large, brick buildings which create the perfect private, insulated spot for gathering and loudly jamming! The forth side of the courtyard is bordered by a railroad track which is still in use. It’s pretty fun to see the trains whizz closely by every now and then. The courtyard has beautiful landscaping, a variety of seating options such as benches, swings and large beanbags. There are also fire pits that have been thoroughly enjoyed when temperatures still drop quickly at night this time of year. While there are typically quite a few seats available, most shows still allow for bringing in your own camp chair. Keep in mind though, if it’s at or near full capacity this may not always be the case. The other thing that is show dependent is exiting with re-entry.
As far as what the future holds…In addition to this 1,500-capacity outdoor venue, owner Jay will soon open Space there; a discotheque and craft cocktail bar, that will seat 150 people. Rumors of a long term plan to acquire the adjacent building for a large indoor stage have been heard circulating too which will be super sweet! The surrounding area of town has quite a few active industrial businesses and also quite a few empty and dilapidated old buildings. You won’t find a whole lot else going on right in that immediate area, but Ziggy’s can hopefully breathe some new life into this struggling part of town with all they have planned for the future there.
The venue has now been open about 6 weeks and the transformation I’m witnessing each week is very exciting and promising. Sure, there have been blunders and annoyances and some discrepancies, but I still remain totally optimistic about the future here and am understanding about the challenges of getting things smoothed out at a place like this- especially when every show is different in its crowd and their needs. The staff have been very welcoming and responsive, food trucks have been dependable and delicious, and other than the one sold out show thus far, waits have been reasonable for mostly everything.
It’s a very cool, comfortable, and friendly place! Music sounds great and because I bought a membership back when they were available, I am looking forward to a summer spent in High Point! Who woulda thunk? Cheers, friends!
Great venue with a relaxed environment. People who go there just want to enjoy a good band playing good music. The sound is amazing, the bands are awesome, and the facilities are just what you need for a gig.
Awesome outdoor venue. Very friendly staff and reasonable beer prices for a venue. I'll never buy Gold Circle tickets again though, not worth the price. Only advantage to Gold Circle was maybe dedicated Porta John's to a smaller group of people. The bar lines for regular area tickets was shorter, and ended up going into the main area outside the Gold area for better view of the stage.
This is a great spot! I'm surprised not to have heard more about the venue before this point, but so glad we checked it out! The 4 hour drive was very worth it, and the venue is not only gorgeous, but wonderfully functional!
(I'm not sure if it's a possibility every show, but this time they were very nice about letting me take my camera to get some photos! 💕)
•It seems like primarily outdoor shows from roughly April-Nov, and indoor shows from Nov-April. It feels like it increases accessibility a lot to have a venue offering both!
-The outside space is awesome, with diverse options both for standing and sitting. (Seats were not in a VIP section, so you can take a second to rest even in GA!)
It was 35° out, so the fire pits were an AMAZING touch- and they were selling hot hands at the front table incase you prefer those.
-There is gravel, so motorized wheelchairs seemed to have no issue getting around! I'd probably recommend against wearing shoes with heels if you can- I did sink a little once but I was also moving a lot.
•Security was wonderful. I've met some that really dont enjoy the vibe, but everyone at Ziggy's Space was super friendly and helpful! Especially when they realized it was our first time there. They were well placed, easy to find, and had a great energy with the crowd.
•We arrived a bit late, so parking was a bit tricky- but we got an awesome little spot and the venue was easy to get to! GPS takes you to the door, so expect to look a second for parking. It wasnt far away at all though!
•Overall, a 5/5 on functionality, energy, and aesthetic. Super blessed to have another venue this nice so close to home! 🔥
Best night in a long time . High Point needed something like this for or town. Dylan Scott and Dylan Marlowe show was awesome. Crowd was fun and all had a great time. Place gonna be a Gold Mine!
What a great venue. We have been loyal to Ziggy's for the last 15 years at all of the venues. We watched "The Movement" and "Steel Pulse"
If I could change something, it would be the bass of the main event, seems lacking and could use more in the pit. Please add more bass to the concerts! It's well deserved of these big bands you bring in!
