Additional Information
You are expected to be quiet and listen to the music and will be shushed if you talk (which is fine, that's just the type of... place it is,but just be aware of that before you go). They don't charge a cover. They have an unadvertised one-drink-minimum.They ask for donations for the performer and they are pushy about it. Blue--if you are going to advertise "no cover" to getpeople in the door, don't go back on that by trying to nickel and dime people with drinks and asking for donations. If you aretrying to support the performer, great! Do that by charging for entry and then paying the performer. Don't try to get people inthe door by saying no cover and then abuse the social decorum to pressure people into forking over money for a performance thatthey thought would be free. Read more
Usually quite good, especially for the music. People below don't seem to realize its a MUSIC venue, not a bar where you gab. And... drink minimums are standard in music clubs. How else would they survive with no cover? Get with it, folks! Read more
So much fun! We had a great time listening to the jazz trio that was playing. The drinks were decent. The Red Hot Dog was way... better than expected! I like that they don't have a cover charge, and have a subdued l suggested donation instead. It helpscreate a respectful feel where the music is genuinely appreciated and respected. We wished we lived closer so we could comeregularly! Read more
Don't speak if you are there. Stopped in for a drink. When talking to the bartender to correct a drink we were shushed. And... told this was a quiet bar. Had to talk over the music to be heard. Very strange . We left. Read more
