This is an amazing venue... Small, intimate but packed with talent. I feel like a $10 cover charge is a bit high unless it's a touring band coming through, but I guess that helps sort out the crowd a bit.
The guys that run the bar are funny and watch out for you. There is a great open-mike night with some crazy-cool talented locals.
The acoustics in here are really good. I also like that the guys running the place keep things moving as they need to.
I definitely recommend this venue for people visiting Charlotte!
