A real gem hidden away. The only way in is via a key code on the door. You get this via being accepted on their Facebook page, as I understand it. I was with friends who arranged that. Inside the decor is quirky and unique. Drinks prices reasonable and they had live music.

First date night in a long time and we discovered this little gem! Get on their FB page to know how to access because had we not run into a random woman we would have had no idea how to get in and probably missed out on a real epic experience. If you like really cool local history, the place is brewing with it. David, the owner is exceptionally knowledgeable about some very interesting high profile people with roots in TXK. We happened to be there the same night a band out of St Louis (Russo & co) made a stop enroute to a gig. They can turn anything into a blue grassy feel. Believe me we were throwing everything at em…from hip hop to pop and a throwback to Elvis. They even shared one of their own tunes called Goldmine. Fantastic! Check em out on Spotify. It was a really great, local time…all the ingredients for spontaneous fun when you just never know what might happen when you walk in the door (if you can find it)

My boyfriend took me out for the Cupid valentines show. The show was very entertaining, and super cute. We enjoyed a wonderful meal, our waitress Carla provided us with her cell number to text during the show if anything was needed. So that she wouldn’t be interrupting us as we watched. The service she provided was exceptional, and we look forward to going back for another show.

I am giving 5 stars for the atmosphere because the place is pretty cool and despite not getting the food for a long time, it was alright. The jazz music and band was excellent. Our young brunette server was slow and inefficient and some of the food literally took an hour to receive and our drinks never got refilled. I would say she was just not paying that much attention to us because we just ordered food and non-alcoholic drinks, but many of her other tables with alcoholic drinks were also without drinks for most of the time.

Went to the comedy show April first but was pretty let down, the atmosphere is really cool and uniqe, but we stood around for about 15min just to get drinks and another 10 just to pay. It didn’t get better either when the guy in the white suite made one of the bartenders leave crying.
