My honey and I attended an event before the end of 2024 and I was delighted to come! My old stomping ground! Literally! Drinks were great! Wings even better! Great food, great drinks, and great vibe! I'm biased, I'll always be a patron of TST! Say Yes to this establishment!

This has been the first time in a long time that I did not like the fries at all. I do like how the service came up to us though. We ordered cocktails first but because my old-fashioned did not really taste like an old-fashioned and it had crushed ice which left me confused I opted to buy beer for the rest of the evening. Also, the drinks were $20 each. Again the live music made up for the experience, but I will not be ordering cocktails or french fries from them ever again.

They used to bring complimentary bread with a delicious salty butter but they now charge $9 for that.

The space feels so intimate, which makes the whole experience more personal and memorable compared to larger, more crowded venues. The atmosphere was great from start to finish, and everything felt well-organized. The service was also a highlight, our server was incredibly sweet, attentive, and made us feel really comfortable throughout the night. Even though the food was just alright, the overall experience more than made up for it. Between the vibe, the quality of the show, and the excellent service, it's definitely a place I'd come back to again and recommend to others looking for a unique night out/date night!

The cocktails were veteran made and solid. The dining room is intimate, adding to the connection of the artists and the show. Deborah Bond dropped her new album Amber Dust, a true R&B artist keeping the tradition of the music well and alive. She hosted a listening party show with a customized cocktail menu with drinks named after her latest album! The show was amazing and the sound was clear. Although the menu is a bit limited I enjoyed my crab cakes, which had no filler. Oh and be sure to save yourself time and park in the parking garage across from the alley. This is an amazing little space with big names. Every time I've come here I've always met with the artists after the show. So if you're a super fan and your favorite artist is performing here, GO!

Super accommodating and kind all the way from the door, to the band, to our servers. We had reservations and were sat by the door which typically is totally okay except it was freezing cold this weekend so we were accommodated further into the room for some warmth as soon as a table opened up. I tipped the band and slid a note to the MC which gave the sweetest shoutout to my partner and the band played a happy birthday tune. To our surprise, the two tables next to us were also celebrating birthdays which added to the overall great vibes. The food was very pleasant and the drinks were awesome and served quickly. They gave us a free birthday dessert which happened to be one we were considering ordering !!! Thank you guys for such a beautiful night.

A trio of musicians played their hearts out. As a lover of music, I appreciated this. Drinks were great! Very attentive workers. Ambiance : it's a D.C. hidden gem with no frills. Very NYC. Come glam, come as you are, you'll fit in! Would recommend! Tip: Don't forget to Tip! No pun intended! Bring cash!
