this is the spot. just down the street from bluebird theatre. great place to grab drinks before or after a show.

music is never too loud and they've got a nice patio to hang out on during warmer nights. music tends to be along the lines of death cab for cutie, shins, decemberists, type stuff. at least when i've been there lately.

a great place to just hang out with friends. they have live music several nights a week and when they don't, they are likely to have a dj. they also like to feature local artists work on the walls. it can be a bit tricky to find for some. the entrance is on the 27th Street side, look for the red light and the stairs leading down. yes, it's in the basement. they also have a back patio that opened early last fall that will be a prime summer hangout this year.
