Cover - $12.00 Drinks - $2.50-$5.00 Two bars, great seating, the warm-up band and Joanna played jointly until after 2:00 a.m. Connor's band was incredible. I have become a loyal follower. The place was fairly clean, the cook had a great attitude, the bartenders were a bit on the arrogant side... more
