You enter to a small garage-like room that has a pool table that when I visited was converted into an art table that was full of photography and crafts for a local art sale. You can go left and checkout a small pizza shop or continue forward into the bar and music stage! I loved how it kept me guessing at every turn, clearly a lot of fun happens here! I’ll have to check it out for a music show sometime, I hear they do a winter dance fest every February where they close down the parallel street for music and joy! I didn’t grab a drink at the time but I imagine they have all the classics and probably some fun ones on tap. Clearly a spirited community hub.

The venue is cozy, and was decorated in a spooky analog horror vibe. Great, dramatic lighting that didn't try to blind you with lasers. The music was dark wave and synthpop, mixed in with some stand-up from Dracula and dance acts from Sindy Vicious.

Had a nice chat with some of the band guys who were hanging out but the bartender kept ducking into the back room anytime my friend and I tried to get his attention to ask for another beer. We left to drink elsewhere since this place clearly wasn't interested in serving us. Was a few months ago but I still think about this interaction (or lack thereof, I should say) because it was so awkward and rude.

One bartender was a bit surly but that's ok too. ?

However, I’ve never been in such an awkward place like this. Everyone was underage, and I mean EVERYONE, or they have somehow found the fountain of youth. Apparently the checking of the ID’s is just a formality. Ok, so, even before walking in there were a group of judgy children smoking cigarettes and laughing at my partner and I; red flags number one. Reg flag number 2: EVERYONE was wearing the exact same clothing. There was nothing but butt cracks and bulges. Red flag 3: The music was absolutely awful. I’m a musician, I can put forks into a garbage disposal and it would sound better than the absolute garbage that was playing at this place. It was like being in the midst of a Hellraiser film. Any second I expecting a gateway to open, and the chains to rip the flesh from my bones while everyone laughed. No one was smiling, they were just aimlessly walking around with a sour expression. Did I enter another dimension? I sure felt like it. Despite this, I was willing to have a few drinks, maybe I would have fun. We walked up to the bar, no one would move out of our way, and they weren’t even drinking! After twenty minutes of trying to get the bartender’s attention, I spent $50 on an Uber and left. The Uber driver laughed because he has to rescue adults from this place EVERY-NIGHT. Anyway, do not go here if you’re over 22 years old; even if you are, I highly recommend another establishment. This is not a place for camaraderie and entertainment. Regular down to earth people ARE NOT WELCOME at this place. Do not expect a warm greeting at the door.

Not super big, standing room only so get there early if you want to be close to the stage. Regardless though, because it is small, it will be an intimate show. Acoustics are good! They have a bar there for before and during the show. If you want food, the venue is attached to the pizza shop next door. Parking isn't horrible, we used Spothero to find cheap street parking nearby.
