If the stages are too crowded, go to the next door Stage Zero bar and watch the performances on TV with zero risk of claustrophobia.

Michael Ferraiuolo is def worth a listen! He often plays Wed happy hour spot. Original songs, piano + vocals.

Venue is very small. 10%-15% of the people will get seats and the rest will have to stand.

Artists usually hang out in the side bar before they play-- if you want to rub elbows, enter through the door all the way to the left.

The audience may turn on you if you talk during a set. Take your loud ass to another bar, this one is about MUSIC. Capeesh?
