The take

Any given week runs from drag to jazz to karaoke, and everyone's welcome so long as they're 21 — check the calendar before you go, because the room changes character nightly.

Questions people ask

Is there an age minimum?

Yes — 21 and over, strictly, with valid ID. The bar's own words are "no exceptions".

Is there a cover charge?

It depends on the night: some are free or charge a small cover after a certain hour, and live music typically runs about $10 at the door.

Karaoke, for instance, is free early and a few dollars later; the jazz session is cheaper in advance than on the door.

Are there regular weekly nights?

Yes — a Sunday jazz session at 7:30pm, karaoke on Wednesdays at 7pm, and Hazy Sunday from 4 to 9pm.
