Great small, listening room. Excellent sound both on stage and in the house. Tight fit for larger groups, but not an ideal room for very large bands.

They have a brand new second stage next door, even better than stage one. This room is larger and ideal for groups with big draws, touring acts, etc. There's even a comfortable (small) green room for stage two.

Most importantly, the staff is lovely and the sound guys really do an excellent job and are attentive the whole show even though you typically only get a line check.

Great owners, great staff, great sound, cramped space (that's good by me!).
Music-centric but can get overrun by the local party scene.
