What to Expect
Your Weekend Soundtrack
Come early and make a night of it. Happy Hour runs from 4 to 6 PM, so you can grab dinner and a drink before the music starts at 6. The room is warm and intimate — close enough to feel the performance, relaxed enough to catch up with friends over a great meal.
Because our lineup rotates every weekend, there’s always something new to discover — one night might be an acoustic singer-songwriter, the next a full band tearing through classic covers. Check our events calendar to see who’s playing next, then reserve your table.
