What a lovely venue! Great vibe, great sound, great drinks. You enter into a long and narrow bar with bar and right and booths on the left. If you March straight through, a set of French doors open into a small, intimate concert space. The stage is low, so us short gals need to get up close to have a prayer of seeing anything. The outside walls have benches and maybe 4 to 6 high top tables with stools.
The Rebirth Brass band was fantastic, but the sound system at the club was louder than it needed to be, causing some muddiness to the sound quality, and difficult to clearly hear to vocalists. It also made it impossible to speak to the person next to you. It was unpleasantly loud.
I mean granted, I'm old(ish). But it was disappointing to get there an hour early and find the very few seats were already snatched up... when I found a spot I was told the band's family was coming, or something... and the few remaining seats were grabbed by actual restaurant staff right under my nose and taken next door, rather unsympathetically I might add. I'm not one to stand for hours, just sayin.
