The finest listening space I know. Don't go to Lena's for the refreshments, although they are outstanding. Go for the music, which is more outstanding and important. I engineered 'Lena's Open Door', for a few years. Lena knew her stuff about the folk and acoustic music of the day. I am confident that she still would were she still alive today.
Intimate listening room. Good acoustics. Light fare and desserts. Coffees and teas. Chairs fine for dining; but a but incomfortable for an entire show. Difficult to locate entrance door. No parking associated with the venu. Easy ticket process.
I came to Saratoga Springs as a Skidmore student in 1978. I had heard about Caffe Lena and how people as famous as Bob Dylan and Don McLean had played there. I intended to go soon after my arrival, but alas, 4 years later, I had never made it there.
I lived in Connecticut, New York City, and briefly Boston after a graduated college, but moved back to this area in 1998. Caffe Lena was still open, and I again resolved to go, now that I once again lived nearby....
