Sushi downstairs, live music everywhere. Zen is a multi-room sushi den with small rooms for private parties and two full stages plus a small acoustic stage for live music. Upstairs on most Tuesdays and Thursdays the fare has been, of late, acoustic and eclectic.

this place mystifys me. no idea why people still go there. i thought for awhile it was b/c the bands playing upstairs, but i always thought the space was weird and cramped. patio was too loud and the food ... don't even get me started.

Cons

- food not good, parking bad, there are better live music venues in the area

The host offered no explanation ... more
