the staff do the best they can to show each and every guest a good time, having amazing piano singers is one thing, but great food and drinks? of course its my favorite place to rock out

This venue and it's owner are currently the subject of a class action lawsuit for withholding wages, racial bias and sexual harassment. Look on facebook for the details, the class action is looking for musicians that have interacted with this venue.

Played here last year in both of my electronic bands. GREAT sound and staff. We enjoyed the show. It would be nice if they would have an ongoing night featuring electronic bands more often. The whole blues thing all the time gets monotonous.

I like this place; been there twice now with non-blues/jazz bands and the house keeps asking us back. the room has great sound as well

Unrealistic booker/owner from sources I know, past players claim it's another nightmare. Not interested in booking here personally.
