Definately a very busy establisment after work on a Friday night. I would agree with some previous reviewers that you definately need to locate farther from the stage if you want to hear conversation. Being nearly death due to my younger days as a dj It was almost impossible to hear the person talking next to me. The Jazz was really good though. I ordered the standard pub fare of Nachos which were definately average but tasty. Pints of Nut Brown ale went well with the meal. Recommend you get there early if you want a seat. There is no cover charge for the first part of the evening but the establishment hits you with a $10 dollar cover charge if you want to stay past 9:30. The music is probably worth the cover charge but my party was off to the next location. The Bar has efficient security as 2 staff members removed a drunk who wanted to join the band onstage fairly quickly and efficiently. Worth checking out for Homegrown jazz.
