There are two spaces, upstairs and downstairs. Upstairs tends to have regular weekly performances (soul/funk band on Mondays, etc.) and varying groups downstairs. There isn't a built-in crowd, and on most nights there isn't a lot of walk-in traffic (some, just not a lot).

The staff (many of whom are musicians) are great. A gig here won't pay a lot, but it's a friendly venue, and people will listen to you and appreciate your talents.
