Besides being a great spot for filming we love to have bands and live music and events at the bar! Our backline is pretty tight with a drum kit, PA, monitors, amps and more mic stands than mics. Great for birthdays, graduations, cast parties, bachelorette, karaoke, album releases, extras pen, and celebrations of all kinds. We have live band karaoke and comedy nights every week.
