Just went in for a drink on a girl's night out so didn't get to catch the show. However the bar side has a cool vibe - love the retro theme! Aaron, the bartender was super friendly and chill. We enjoyed him! Drink prices reasonable too! Will definitely go back for a show some day!

Nice little theatre with maybe 40ish seats. Cozy bar at the entrance.
