This is a fun small venue. Excellent German food and beer. The place has some draw of its own - it's been around a while.

This is not a place to bring a full rock band, and they don't book much jazz, although they do have some good jazz bands.

I believe the band gets a fkat fee of $250 - so it's best to have a small band. Space is tight, and you'll need to bring a small PA.

I've never been a leader there, but I've always had good interactions with Cindy, the booker / co-owner.
