Live music venue that can't be described in words...
1st and 7th, open mic nights-these are hit or miss but sometimes the misses are spectacular!
11th is open jam, like open mic but with a backing band
22nd is band night, usually pretty stellar!
Bring your own drinks and snacks and enjoy the coolest DIY venue in Florida. Volunteer run 100%
