My band was called last minute to fill in for a band that flaked. The staff were rude to the point of confrontation. Lousy sound to boot. I mean we did these guys a solid and got nothing out of it and for me, I was just a few days out of a surgery it was a total waste of time. One star is too many.

Nice intimate room. Friendly staff. However, I've played there a few times and there is a cover charge for each band (they go around and ask for another cover charge from everyone to stay and watch the next band) so it's easier to keep an audience if bands communicate beforehand and do a joint cover. Play mostly for tips.

Nice, friendly staff. Pretty small, so even if you pack the place, you won't make a lot of money unless you're a small group. They have a small kit and a baby grand. the piano needs regulation. Half price on drinks. Good espresso.
