"Everyone gets a front-row seat at this snug underground music lair, which hosts flamenco nights, funk shows, and late-night DJs. The arched brick ceilings make you feel like you're in a subway tunnel—with the reverberating acoustics to match. The crowd is as diverse as the musicians. Expect an older, more sedate clientele at the nightly live music shows (the Sunday flamenco acts are excellent) and a trendier, younger set on weekends—especially after 2 a.m., when things really start heating up." - Benjamin Kemper
