Absolutely great space, except for the stone dance floor. My legs hurt the next day.

Cute small venue for concerts, very dive bar feel - I had fun

Tanvi Goyal

Great venue. The audio can get loud, hence if someone has sound sensitivity they can carry Barbuds.

Such a cool venue with a really diverse set of artists playing across the weeks. The food here is really nice, highly recommend the Mac and cheese.

The smaller venue here makes for excellent concerts and live experience. The food was outstanding and the entire staff is friendly and energetic, much like the artists the feature. I hate that I discovered this place too late in my time in Charlottesville. I will definitely visit again next time I'm in town.

It's a place to see a music show, not a place to eat. Decent food. Tiny selection.

Great small venue, and the sound in there is great! I've been a lot of places that sounded like a muddy mess, but top marks to these guys!

Cool basement music venue. The kind of place that all the big stars start out. Just had drinks during a show. I can't comment on the food.

The perfect venue to see live music. The venue and bar area are in separate areas. But ordering is not a problem. The music room is well equipped and sounds great. Do yourself a favor and see a show. It's a great up close and personal experience.

The venue is beautiful but the staff is noticeably sub par. You can easily get in for free just by walking through the door. Two staff members watched me walk out with a drink in my hand, only to tell me coming back in I can’t do that. Yeah, okay blonde ponytail
