Description
Finding the post requires spotting a secluded entrance that is otherwise undetectable from the street. Inside, it is a very small space filled with a mature crowd of regulars. Along with the scheduled sets, the music regularly features surprise guest singers and players sitting in. The bar serves notably cheap drinks. While food is sometimes offered, private events can limit availability, so eating beforehand is recommended.
