This is the kind of place that you just want to be. They have great bands, diverse patrons, a very wide range of musical talents. It's extremely comfortable. Hanging out at your best friend's house kind of comfortable. I love being there. I often go and see Stu Allen who does Grateful Dead type of stuff and he is one *incredible* musician. Makes me think back to the early days of the Dead. You are there and they are in your face making MAGIC! It's so nice to be in such a low key environment where you can dance, have a beer, talk with friends, and just hang out. Really really nice people work there. Not totally my kind of food but that's just me, most people are happy with it. I'm a carnivore. I just like being in an accepting environment with awesome music, no crowds, no jockeying for space. Just a great place to BE. Even if you are alone it's very comfortable.
