Great little hole in the wall

It's a really small venue but the music was awesome. Get there early as there is no place to sit and the place is always packed on weekends.
The listing here said it was $8 to get in on the weekend and we were charged $10 that was the only surprise...
Great service from bar staff.

OLD SCHOOL but how a bar should be. Sick of the yuppy's and like Blues music it's perfect. Didn't notice a kitchen but the house was rockin' not crwded. My new fortress of solitude. I was there on a sunday night .

A group of friends took me here for my birthday. It was the most fun I'd had in a long time! The crowd was a bit older than I had anticipated, but the music and vibe were excellent. Blues fan or not, you must visit this place!

This is the only good Blues bar in town! Always an amazing band. A lot of big musicians hang out here. Willie Kent and the Gents play every Monday with special guest Bonnie Lee. You won't find a better band any night of the week in the whole city.
