There is a bar inside that accepts credit cards. Because it's a small venue, it can get loud. I saw some people with ear plugs and part of me wished I bought some too.

Not sure if it's intentional, but it was just annoying to have a spotlight shining directly in your eye. All together tho, seemed like a chill place. Just people vibing. Bathrooms were clean. Once inside, there's a fenced area where you can smoke/take a breather. Iam not that much of a concert goer, but overall I had an ok time here - I just don't think iam the target demographic.

We arrived for our 5pm reservation a few minutes early and were promptly seated by a super sweet hostess. She even acknowledged our anniversary and asked how our day had been so far. When our server arrived, she provided water and took our drink orders. I order the special "The Purple Drank" and my husband tried to order an iced tea but was told they don't serve tea, only water and Pepsi products. Ok, water it is...without any ice I might add. The Purple Drank came dressed with an orange sugar gummy candy and the drink looked orange as well. It tasted like nothing but grape vodka...and not a high quality one at that. We ordered an appetizer: Garlic Truffle Frites. They were just ok. Frozen, thin, crispy fries with maybe a little truffle oil, garlic seasoning, bag Parmesan cheese, an aioli dipping sauce. For entrees: Mediterranean Chicken Pasta and Chicken Cordon Bleu. The chicken pasta presentation was what you would see at a chain restaurant and everything accompanying the chicken was so smothered in oil, you couldn't really taste the flavor or the food. The cordon bleu was a frozen heat and serve with virtually little chicken, ham, or cheese. To say I was disappointed is really an understatement. We were in and out in less than an hour for a special occasion dinner. Synopsis: Atmosphere: 10/10 Music: 10/10 Hostess: 10/10 Server: 4/10 (never even acknowledged our special occasion) Specialty Drink: 2/10 Food: 2/10 I really wanted to live this place, but definitely didn't.

We have been long time patrons at this local establishment. The broaster chicken was delicious, and the beverages cold and delicious. Well, forget all of that. Despite the great staff and kitchen, the owner "butch", apparently has a problem with any one in his establishment that isn't 55+ and on a pension. My tattooed and pierced girlfriend and I have been frequent and long time customers. But tonight, the owner decided to bad mouth my girlfriend because of her appearance and had some harsh words that brought her to tears. So if you want to be treated like sh** by the owner of a local business, this is the place for you! Other wise, if you want to be discriminated against, I suggest you not frequent this place, as we will not, ever again. Thanks "butch", for such a wonderful experience! You ignorant, prejudice, inane bigot. read more

Had to walk through a phalanx of smokers to get in to bar, it was pretty empty for a Saturday evening. All but one of the tables were little "rounds" pushed together. Found a place to sit, waited so long that we wondered if we were expected to go to the bar to order. Server finally shuffled over, we asked for menus. The Indy review went on about the wonderful cocktails made from barrel-aged spirits, but there was no cocktail menu, just a beer list. The food list was sparse, at best, although it did list some pulled pork tacos the Indy raved about. We were planning to stick it out a bit longer, but server seemed in no hurry to get back to us and finally our patience ran out and we left, walking through a different phalanx of smokers. I suggest that you find a better dive if you are in the mood and for goodness sake, don't believe food reviews in the Indy! I did notice that the good yelp reviews were from 2018 and 2019, the negative ones from 2020.
