Blue

Everyone has said it already, this place is the definition of intimate (in the friendliest PG-13 way possible).

I came by with a group of ~8 one evening to listen to a local jazz band. I haven't had much experience with live music, but I definitely enjoyed it! The space is pretty tight, all the more reason to get closer to those around you. :)

For the shows, the lights are dimmed, and the music sounds like it's coming from all around you, without the need for speakers. The musicians are usually very personal, and as others have mentioned, they'll come around with a donation basket rather than charge a cover fee at the door.

As for the menu, they have a nice selection of beers, wines (there's an excellent Chianti), and teas (really impressive--try one!). I didn't have any of the food myself but I heard the desserts are delicious.

Overall... a perfect date for music and wine enthusiasts!

A small intimate music venue with big sound and welcoming atmosphere. I went to the Sean Mecher show and never being here before didn't know what to expect. The place is very small, but I had no trouble getting a seat at the bar at 7:40 for the 8 pm show. And they have half price happy hour before 8 with a nice beer selection that is already cheaper prices than I'm used to.

There was no cover-just a donation request part way through the show. The five person band that barely fit on the little stage and put on a 90 minute full-on show that I would gladly have paid an admission charge to see.

If you like live music in an intimate venue, this place is for you! They have a variety of musical acts from blues, jazz and bluegrass to Irish night and even Turkish music with belly dancers. This is a tiny venue, but the acoustics are good and the focus is on the musicians. This is definitely not background music. They have a nice selection of wines by the glass and their draft beer selection is always stellar with some of the best local brews on tap. The food options are simple but delicious, not to mention affordable. I can't give this place enough praise. Give it a try!!
