Great venue if you love live music on Fridays and Saturdays. The dance floor is small but mighty. There is no table service but the line does move fairly quickly. It's family seating for the most part with three very long tables with stools. You need to be comfortable sitting with strangers. Luckily I'm okay talking to strangers, and I ended up having some pretty cool conversations because of this setup!

Such a refreshing experience. We went there late friday night and the place was busy. The food came in pretty quickly though. Get the flights. Maybe even twice, we tried everything. Such a great experience.

Great beer spot that has live music! Beer options are endless! They also serve hard liquor. We went on a Wednesday and had a 4 person band play around 8. For food we had the nachos and wings. The nachos were great. Highly recommend. They had beans, corn, a white cheese and feta cheese! It was so good! The wings were tasty but I would have preferred them to be crispier. This the reason for 4 stars for food. They have some chairs with backs which is good for the older folks. Recommend!

We visited on a Saturday afternoon for a couple of hours 3pm to 5pm. It was quiet and the atmosphere somewhat limited. The service was very good. The lady bartender explained the options available to help us choose our drinks. I am not a fan of the style of seating and tables - long tables with seats on either side. It reminds me of lunch at school. I am not sure how you guard your privacy during busy times, if needed, although as it was very quiet, that was not an issue for us. I gather it can get quite busy and vibrant of an evening, and that might have suited me better. We did not eat.

First time at a bar and it was a very lovely experience. The bouncer was so incredibly kind and helped my partner and I out - he was even so nice to bring her a chair since we were waiting in line for a bit, and she can’t stand for very long (the guy/bouncer working on Saturday, July 5th around 7-8pm - if you see this, I appreciate you and I hope your pillow is cold on both sides ). The live band was great and food was awesome. I would definitely come back… but my only complaint is the patrons. Some of them were annoyingly loud, rude to the workers and did not understand personal space - without those unpleasant and disrespectful individuals this place would be a regular for me.

Had a blast with the Nuvo Zydeco band last night. Please bring them back regularly and all the other great live bands. Love the seating arrangement.
