Played here twice.
Great location.
Nice down-home kind of vibe.
Venue staff were pretty nice. They provided a sound engineer, but they may have been employed by the headlining band; we opened.
PA system was pretty limited and a little run-down. The engineer, though nice, could barely understand my stage plot, which is pretty standard. I couldn't tell if it was because they were inexperienced, because our sound needs were so beyond what the PA could offer (I think we specified two mixes) or a combo.
The bar is a separate half of the building and the wrap-around patio is quite large. The music room probably has about a 60 capacity; it's not that big at all.
Although the venue is in a trendy neighborhood, there appears to be little to no built-in traffic, so be prepared to be responsible for bringing all of the customers. Several of the postering services (e.g. posterchild) have telephone pole routes in this neighborhood that are pretty reasonable.
