Went at 11:30pm on a Thursday night. The $7 cover was reasonable. Got a good seat at the bar quickly. Bar tender was great and poured us a free shot of their new vodka. Rodney Brown and the Hotrods were playing. Volume was painfully high. Had heard their music before, but not in person. They were really hit or miss.... more
