Took the train out to see my buddy’s band. Show was supposed to start at 7 and soundcheck didn’t happen until 8:15. We had to leave and catch our train. Asked for a refund and door guy gave a bogus excuse.

A great metal bar in the city!
Neighborhood bar vibes- cash only, small stage.
Great spot for local bands to play!
Great staff- owner Dave is very personable and there a LOT!
Nothing bad to say about it!

Great place! Fun staff and good music!
