The downstairs isn't tall person friendly but thats alright, my friend and I had a good time. Especially since some of the regulars bought our drinks. Bartenders friendly as well

Stopped in for live music and was blown away. Great comfortable venue with super service and the coldest beer! Band was awesome! People were friendly as family!

I've been going here for over 10 years now. They have a bar upstairs where you can enjoy great live music on the weekends, and the downstairs bar to hang out with friends and play pool. Good bartenders and good times. #localspot #happyhour #livemusic

This is my favorite bar. The drinks are comparatively pricey but strong and delicious (they specialize in a cocktail called a "quaalude" which you must try). It is a sit-down bar, not a club, and they provide free popcorn and only charge cover if/when there is a live band playing.

Awesome, chill atmosphere. Best music selection played at any bar in town. Drinks don't taste very good but are a good price for what you get. Very friendly, outgoing, and helpful staff. Best bar in town.

Went to The Cafe today and even though I'm 22 this was my first time ordering at a bar. I got 2 shots of Crown Apple for $4.5 each and since it was open mic night, I got to enjoy some local music. After that I went to their downstairs bar and used the restroom, played a few rounds of Pac-Man on the arcade machine and went on my way. It was a nice experience and the free popcorn was decent too. I feel like I'll definitely be coming here again.
