Comment from J:
Good supportive open mic host and clientele and very poor sound system. Most people in main room are inattentive and noisy in conversation. Somehow is it all fun. Outside crowd is very supportive ,friendly.
Comment from Geo. McCalip:
New host, Dan, has a better PA. Friendly and supportive environment. Speaking of environment, it's hard to beat the location.
Comment from TMeier:
Well run by host Gilby. Super friendly, supportive folks. Very small venue, but very accommodating… And the location can't be beat. Good crop of talent when I was there. PA was perfectly adequate for the room. I plan to go back.
Comment from Sean:
This is a great little coffee shop. There little PA is not the greatest but crowd is very supportive of all performers. Seems like every knows everyone there. Lot of locals come so it feels like home. Will be going there often!
