Excellent music. Nice people. A little oasis nestled in the Dirty 6th.

Great place for live music, great food truck on sight. I was there during the day so I'd say family friendly but its 6th street so maybe stick to daytime with kids. My daughter is 11 and had a blast.

Great music, good service and plenty of room to dance. They have a food truck in the back of the bar, the food is good and pretty fast. Never have a bad time here, and who ever is in charge of finding the artists who perform, does a fantastic job👏👏👏
