Thierry Langford: Awesome venue, reminds me of the House of Blues, Houston. :) Great crowd, Trampled by Turtles always puts on a good show!
dp_recess: Always a good spot for live music
John Torres: KRS-One a-ttacked! Best $5 concert ever! $10 parking in the rear and around the corner though. Cash only!
Mat: Skirt steak, duck fries, Mac and cheese. Stick with those as they are outstanding. Loud loud loud but damn the music is fantastic! Frank, Dean, Buble.
Lisa: Nice atmosphere, drinks and food! Wish the live music was a little quieter since I was catching up with a friend, but overall a great time!
Nandini: Great food, ambiance, and music. Dinner on Wine Wednesday was more than reasonable with a half-off bottle of wine. Nightly specials seem good; will come back soon (in a cab)!
