What people say
- People like:
- Good musicians, bartenders and an intimate venue with decent acoustics.
- Worth knowing:
- Cash-only payment is a recurring review topic.
Great bartenders and excellent musicians – really enjoyed the atmosphere! However, I can only give 3 stars because converting the restrooms to unisex is a serious concern. Mixing sexes in private facilities puts women and girls at…
Pretty decent small venue. The accoustics are not bad and the place is usually not crowded.
