Chain Reaction
Chain Reaction is a venue exclusively for shows and music, all will be glad to know that there are snacks and drinks available for all ages. This venue is located in a commercial area of Anaheim (close to the freeway). There is a Denny’s right next to the venue, and as with most areas of California, everything else is fairly close. Area is primarily commerical with a decent amount of parking onsite, you may have to walk if you arrive late but will not have to pay for parking. I parked at a large second hand store behind Denny’s, it’s been a few years since I’ve been to Cali, so things may have changed.
The main floor is long and open with an outdoor patio that seems to be the hangout for “listeners” content with hearing the music from a distance (why not stay home?!). Additionally there is a side area separated by a short wall that will allow those who want to be close to the action but not part of it to enjoy the show (this is also where the merch is usually set up).
Sound fills the building and overall is one of the better venues I have attended. I don’t recall a heavy security presence in my several visits, I have attended without incident as the crowds have been pretty well self-policed.
Chain Reaction is in an accessible location, hosts a great show and offers simple amenities.
