It is not a cafe any longer. Now only the event space is open. There is a long bar, then there is a curtained off event space, equally as long as the bar and about 12 seats deep. The stage is small and us elevated about one foot. The sound person is in the back. Great space for the story telling events I saw there. A small but workable space. There were chairs only towards the front and there were tables towards the back.
Wonderful place. Wonderful atmosphere. We get brunch here often. Their powershots of wheatgrass and ginger will grow hair on your chest.
Veggie and vegan options, nice employees, decent atmosphere. Food (meat products) could be a little better (if you're a veggie place, don't offer meat. If you offer meat, make sure it's delicious. Burger was 'meh' at best).
If I lived around the corner I might be a regular at this dive, which features cheap beers and dinner from the restaurant next door. Instead, I came for one of the live concerts starting a couple of country guys, playing in front of a small but enthusiastic crowd on a weeknight. And if I didn't have to work the next morning, I'd probably stay until the wee hours of the morning, which I'm sure happens to many each week.
Great bar and live music venue. They have some good specials too, the most notorious of which is an Ike Turner. Just go ahead and get one if you want the full experience. Bartender is really friendly. When he poured me a beer in a cup and saw my skeptical look as to whether it was actually a pint, he was happy to show me that it was by pouring a cup of water into a pint glass. I like when customer service goes above and beyond.
