Awesome experience. Seen Puma Blue and Harvey Dweller LIVE. Probably will be my favorite Venue to visit. Staff was attentive, professional, and sometimes you may even find the band/artist walking around the venue too. Bar: Cash/Card.

Great place for live music! Intimate feel yet not so small you feel packed in. Good bar with plenty of drink options.

AC actually works which is a huge plus. It looks clean and there is a bar cat...also a huge plus. Drinks are a little pricey but that's to be expected. One bartender was a bit surly but that's ok too. 😅

Bri was a fantastic bartender. I showed up with me 6 twins, and she knew immediately whose tab was whose. Like, I'm not going to venmo ALL my twins for their fuzzy navel drinks. I'm not a monster.

I saw the Hold Steady here a few weeks ago, and I can see why big bands love to play this small place. I loved the vibe here. I even caught COVID during that show and don’t even mind because I loved it so much.

The evening could not have been better. I saw three great female fronted bands (including daisychain and Boybrain) with no cover charge and there was no pressure to buy drinks. Also the neighboring pizza place gave free pizza slices to anyone offering proof they were at the club ( this is only on Mondays.). I also ran into some old friends.

Cool place to see a band. Not super big, standing room only so get there early if you want to be close to the stage. Regardless though, because it is small, it will be an intimate show. Acoustics are good! They have a bar there for before and during the show. If you want food, the venue is attached to the pizza shop next door. Parking isn't horrible, we used Spothero to find cheap street parking nearby.
