Editor's Note: This location is no longer in operation.
This place hums every night with live bands cranking out rhythm and blues, soul, funk, rock, or bluegrass. The theme-driven bar hosts open-mike performers (Monday) bluegrass (Tuesday), poetry slams downstairs in the underground (Wednesday), and soul and funk (Thursday). Its diverse 20s-to-40s crowd is friendly and informal, and loves to get up and dance.
