This place is one of the best local venues in downtown! As a musician sound and the interaction with the audience are two things I look for in a venue /bar. This place does both of those very well. Whether I am playing a show or just seeing a show the place does not disappoint. You can get right up close to the performers. As a musician you always wonder how it sounds to the audience. I have been told at least a couple of times "that's the best I have ever heard you guys sound". The one thing I really dig as a performer and fan is the curtain for the stage. Nothing is quite like that first note/ chord of your opening song ringing out as the curtain opens! And seeing a band like that is always fun for me too. The staff there are great too. All in all a great place to see a show or grab a locally brewed beer!
