Love the atmosphere and live music! If you are a fan of live music with bands that play their own material then this is the place to be!

Came here for drinks while in town, cool place with a good band and great to see a variety of ages present. A hipster bar but with options for the dads and moms of Alton.

Unfortunately there was a cash only cover charge - thankfully there are 2 ATMs - which for people just looking to drink was a bit off putting. The real downer was the bartender. I ordered a bartending 101 drink - a marg. He proceeded to groan and roll his eyes and complain they were slammed. Which everyone could see - so boohoo to those who can't understand being busy, don't take it out on other people. He then proceeded to make my drink with Sprite/7up - which is absolutely not in a Margherita. It tasted like watered down lime - couldn't even taste the alcohol and I knew there was alot.

I know things get busy on a Sat night, but the treatment of the bartender really pushed me over. I bartended for several years. I know getting in the weeds is stressful. But you don't take that out on a customer and make them feel guilty for ordering a standard bar drink, and then make it incorrectly.

They don't have a menu, but they do have pop up food vendors. Lately on the weekends, it's Midnight Topher's Pizza. I got a vegan pizza that was delicious. Good price too.

Vegetarian options: Hit and miss for the general food vendors, but most are small businesses that are willing to accommodate.

Very classy place! I liked the different styles of decor that really give the whole feel of the place an identity from it's many eclectic pieces of art that adorn every corner, shelf, wall and front window! The sound of the bands was absolutely awesome. We saw "Lights Over Arcadia". "The Cobain Virus" and "Nowhere but Down" on the stage and they all rocked. I'm

I always have a good time here. The people are very welcoming and friendly. The music is so good! I drive over an hour one way to go to this bar so you know it's got to be good.

Nice artsy place to listen to local talent try out their skills. The DJ is definitely a plus for dead time playing a great mix of music genre. Small and cozy atmosphere and great mellow crowd.
