This beautiful urban space replete with tin ceilings, original maple floors, storefront windows and exposed brick walls, has a casual, yet sophisticated ambience!

They have a rather small selection of wines, some great locally brewed beers... more

The catfish is really good here and the place has a nice music venue. They get local and national acts blues to jazz to singer songwriter types. The crowd is diverse and friendly and the atmosphere is good.

A great suburban retreat to hang out with friends, have a meal, have a drink, and hear some good music. Attracts a nice selection of live bands. See someone before they become famous. There is a lovely outside area to sit during the summer.

I'm a 60 year old white woman and I enjoy it so much that I'm becoming a regular. TuRae Gordon is the host and he's one of the funniest comedians that I've ever seen. There are always well-known comedians performing at the show. Great food and fun... more
