Cafe Du Nord

Came here with a group of friends to see The 502s and indie band. I had never heard of the band or been to this music venue before so it was a really cool experience! The venue is small, and they definitely filled it with as many people as possible. Our tickets were very affordable and we were standing only. I believe they had some spots for sitting but it wasn’t too bad to stand since we ended up being so close to the stage. The space is small so even if you were all the way in the back you would still have a good view. The space can get pretty warm inside and they sell water/drinks. Parking was a bit tricky but we were able to park a couple blocks away and walk. The staff were nice but we didn’t interact too much with them during the show. Would definitely come back for another show!

Really unique, old-school style music venue. Staff was friendly, and the ambiance was perfect for a show. Highly recommend!

Here tonight to see Lady Blackbird and the website said nothing about having to listen to a DJ for an hour. The venue did not advertise a DJ to open for Marley Monroe. Show was advertised at 8 PM and it can be ok that an artist comes in 20 minutes late, but now at least 55 minutes late, no show of Lady Blackbird. I paid for 6 tickets and we’ve had to stand the whole time. Let’s top off it that they set a fog machine going, so now you can’t breathe. I’d say it is a fire hazard and a health issue in an enclosed space. I will never come back to this venue again. The crowd even wondered if it was to force the sale of drinks. Just a horrible experience!

I saw Dev Lemons perform here. At one point she screamed into the mic and I saw the souls of all the people leave their body and then she out them inside of a hamburger plushie and continued singing. At one point she started to freestyle rap, so that's still a thing I guess.... The staff here is friendly and there are two non alcoholic beers available at the bar! Wooohooo look at meeeee! I'm leaving a review yeah yeah yeah yeah yeeeeah! Let's go! Let's go! Come on! Soooooooy Dorah!!!!

Just wanted to add some info here because the website is kinda unclear. It’s standing room only. There is a reserved ADA section with stools and also a little platform area with stools and bench seats for people with upgraded tickets (basically VIP). There is no food menu! It’s not a real cafe. The available food options are a medium cheese pizza or mushroom pizza. Maybe the toppings change, but that’s all they had last night. Also the website says no cameras but you can contact them for a photo pass if artists allow them, however I emailed twice and called twice and never heard back. The venue itself is nice though and had clean bathrooms!

Great spot for good music. It gets warm so going without my jacket was the move. Great staff. Food not allowed inside so we just left it with the bouncer.

Such a cute and intimate setting, lots of drinks and food. General admission is lots of standing, but super close to the stage. Really affordable tickets, and amazing performances!

One of the best spots to see up and coming talent in the bay. The sound is great in the front and the back of the room. There is a full bar and the bartenders are friendly. It can get pretty warm when it’s a full show so wear layers! Love having a space like this to support live music in San Francisco.

We attended Eivør's concert on a Friday night, and luckily it wasn't raining; otherwise, we would have been stuck outside in the wet weather. I highly recommend arriving early--thanks to previous reviews, we got there at 6:15 PM for the 8 PM show, and there was already a line. The doors opened promptly at 7 PM. The venue is conveniently located off Market Street, so instead of driving, we opted for a car service. Upon entering, I was surprised to find that there were no seating areas except for the ADA section. I quickly made my way to the left side where we could see the stage, away from the crowd. Our standing area was spacious enough for 4-5 people, which was great since my mom could lean against the railing. As the club filled up, it got quite packed--so much so that someone even fainted! But the performers were incredible. Eivør was absolutely amazing, giving me chills even without her band. I'm glad we got there early since I've never stood for such a long time at a concert before. I noticed some parents brought their kids, who had trouble seeing over the adults. The bathrooms were clean, and the staff were very friendly. Would I come back? Absolutely!

Fun venue in a basement of a building! There is a bar to the right of the stairs down and bathrooms in the back. I'd recommend muni or taking a bus over as parking can be tough in the area and catching a bite before or after a show. Like many have said unless you're tall, it's pretty hard to see past the first few rows so get here early! Overall a great ambiance and we really enjoyed the show we attended here! Looking forward to my next show here.

I've been to a few concerts here and I always love it. Possibly one of my favorite concert venues in SF. I always feel very safe here and it is a very intimate setting. Not a single bad seat in the place. The shows run on time and efficiently. The bar tenders are very nice. The "preferred" viewing is an elevated balcony to the right of the stage, if you show up early/on time you can typically stand front row - but if you prefer to be away from the crowds it is worth it. They have pizza available for purchase as well which makes this venue cooler in my opinion. Overall a great venue for an intimate concert or a budding artist, I'm always excited when an artist I like is in town playing at this venue.

This is one of my favorite music venues in the city! The tickets are always fairly priced, as are the drinks. They serve pizza which is just okay so I say eat before you arrive. The acoustics however are great! Definitely recommend catching a show here if you can.

For many years now, CAFE DU NORD has been one of the coolest spots in San Franciso to catch a live show. Formerly a popular underground rock club (literally underground -- you walk down a flight of stairs to enter) that hosted local punk and indie bands before it shuttered in January, 2014, the music venue has undergone a couple of transitions to cocktail bar & restaurant, then reverting back to a music hall. With the changes, the basement space of the Swedish American Hall has undergone major remodelings, transitioning the subterranean area into a completely different look that appears almost unrecognizable from its earlier days. Wow! DU NORD replaced its old orange & yellow walls and dark wooden crown moldings & trims with rich burgundy tufted leather booth seating, vibrantly red stools, and colorful tiling, creating a swanky lounge aesthetic enhanced by colorful lighting. The new owners have definitely created a more sophisticated live music experience. CAFE DU NORD has also opened its doors to patrons age 6 years old and up to some shows and now offers pizza to order at the bar. The staff is professional and polite in conduct. The best concerts are held at small auditoriums, in my opinion. CAFE DU NORD is one of THE BEST in San Francisco, providing one of the most intimate settings for performances. Tip: Dress lightly - the temperature quickly rises from a hyped crowd.

The staff were all great, my issue is with the layout of the venue. It's very long and narrow, so unless you get there early you're probably not going to be able to see. There are a few seats on the sides but you need to be there early to snag those. The venue is downstairs, so it's in a basement and it gets HOT. Most venues get hot but this was different, there weren't fans or anything. I didn't get anything from the bar, and they have free water which was nice. The bathrooms are gender neutral, there's six bathrooms and a shared sink area in the middle, when I went two were out of order. The sound wasn't great and it was so loud. I had earplugs and it was still super loud in my opinion. I'm glad I went but I'm going to avoid this venue in the future. I also prefer venues that are near a BART station and this one isn't unfortunately. It wasn't a bad venue - it just wasn't for me.

We saw Christopher here this past weekend. A guy from Denmark who's band made it to the US! whoo. Great location. Easy enough to get in. Dress light because it gets HOT. It was crowded but still space in the back if you don't care to squeeze to the front. I'm too old for that now. I thought I was pretty tall but dang these Europeans! They're giants. lol There's seats lining the walls, so if you come early enough, I guess you can snag those. Can't speak on the bar since my friend grabbed the drinks but drinks were stiff. Sound was great. Getting out wasn't too bad also.

Great venue to see bands very intimately in what is the Swedish American hall. Mostly standing room with few booths and one table or so on left hand side. Was a former a Speakeasy. Staff are great. They have like pizza and some other smaller food options. Only drawback is tickets are through everyone's favorite friend : Ticketmaster. So for a small venue and say $25 tickets there's the customary $8-10 surcharge.

Went here for Matt Hansen's concert. Loved the place!! We had a great night. It is a smaller & more intimate venue but I loved that! Great spot close to restaurants nearby.

People are right--it's not the biggest space but it does have personality. We attended a private event there last night and were impressed by how well the space is managed. From the doorperson to the bartenders and waitstaff, everyone was accommodating. For those that are wondering, the single stall unisex bathrooms were clean as a whistle. There were about 80 of us there and it felt manageable. I think anything over 200 people might begin to feel a bit cramped?? They list their maximum capacity at 320 standing but much less for theater or classroom style set-ups. Their tech specs are pretty impressive. The sound was very good and they are capable of showing film. There's also a Green Room and a full kitchen. It's an iconic part of SF history with a cool list of past performers.

Terrible experience from the staff. Was denied entry for having a point and shoot camera. This exact camera has never been an issue across the hundreds of venues I've been to in California and San Francisco specifically. I've seen thousands of artists with this exact point and shoot. None of security or staff has never given me an issue until today. It's more ironic because my cell phone would take better photos. Had an immediately negative experience directly as a result to how the staff at this venue handled the situation.

Overpriced corporate garbage. I ordered a beer, it was $11 and in a tiny plastic cup. On my next order, I asked the bartender what do they have in a can, and is hopefully not $11. She pointed to a Tecate & I said ok. It was also $11. Plus tax. Like what bar doesn't include the tax on their drink prices? They put in a new sound system and it's f""king terrible. The live band feed plays right behind the bartender making ordering drinks more of a pain. I mean You can hear the band already, there's no need. It's also piped into the toilet stalls. Whoever came up with this system concept really needs to get in another line of business. Cash only. Illegal. If you are a local band who wants to play there on a Saturday night, they charge $1500. Ok sure that's super reasonable. CDN used to be awesome. The best venue in SF besides BotH. I hope it can make its way back.

Bartender was nice and engaging Great place to hear music. The gentleman at the front door could have been a lot nicer. He seemed like he didn't want to be there.

They charge $16 for a can of Estrella beer, that's all you need to know. A six pack of that beer costs $10.99 at BevMo. For some reason, some of the most overpriced drinks in the city. Nice staff, good booking blah blah blah

Saw Oliver Hazard and The 502s here and the vibe was amazing!! The bartenders and security were so sweet and kind as expected from a concert venue. My friend and I had a great time and security made sure everyone felt safe and sound! No problems at all before, during or after the show! It's definitely small, so keep that in mind, but worth it!! Super clean bathrooms too!!

teach your bouncers verbal communication rather than physically grabbing my shoulders over a cup of ice water. ruined my night

We attended Julie band concert at cafe du nord. Great venue, well managed. Only issue was that cafe due nord was too eager to kick people out, when There were lines of fans to buy merchandise, and meet the band after the concert. I would think they should be more sensitive to accumulate these new bands and all these young fans. All good

Attend a concert this weekend and it was a nice venue. Staff was amazing. Very nice and wonderful customer service. Would highly recommend to attend an event at cafe du nord.

We came here for a live music concert and my partner had lost their ID on the way here, which meant that they couldn't get the 21+ wristband. That was fine, we didn't need to drink, but we had gotten VIP tickets to the venue and with it being a 4 hour concert, we ordered takeout. wI had picked it up separately and we wanted to just eat our takeout food OUTSIDE, off the street without bothering anyone. The doorman not only threatened to kick us out, but also told my partner that if they took one more step outside, they wouldn't be able to come back in. This is such rude and unnecessary behavior from the staff of this venue. To give it the credit it deserves, the place itself is alright, nothing to be dazzled with but also not a bad place for live music. However, because of the service and management, I will not be coming back here again, and I cannot recommend this to my friends.

Finally got a chance to check this place out for an Anthony Green show. Bummed this place is didn't live up to my expectations. It is a terrible place to watch a show. It's a narrow place and if you are shorter than 6' tall, you are screwed and won't be watching the show unless you are in the front row. It's hard to get in and out of the crowd since everyone is trying hard to get close to see something. They ran out of the good beer and their beer selection is weak.

Best place for a small concert! I saw spilltab and I got to see her so close! It does get super hot though so bring some water.

Me and two guy friends had reservations next door at 8:45pm. Since we had some time to kill, we decided to check out Cafe du Nord. Our group of three walked in on Friday, July 8th around 7:45pm. We found three seats at the end of the bar. My friends both got the Golden Era: George Dickel rye, maple sugar, fig leaf bitters, On a big ass ice cube ($12) while I decided to get the Blood & Sand: Black Grouse scotch, Luxardo Sangue Morlacco, Carpano Antica vermouth, orange ($12). My drink was blended, so it was fun. I normally don't get the girlie drinks, so this was a change of pace. The drink was refreshing and not overly sweet. I normally think blended drink and picture those overly sweet island drinks. This one was nicely balanced. One of my friends was hungry, so we also ordered a Bucket of Fried Chicken: Sweet & sour, BBQ, ranch ($16). I had a couple bites and the batter / skin was nice and crispy while the chicken was moist and juicy. I didn't really care for the sauces. The ranch was the only one I really used. Very chill bar. I think it's also a music venue at times? It's a lot smaller than the old Cafe du Nord I remember, but I had a fun time hanging out here. The bartender was great and it was very lax. Definitely my kind of vibe. You can sit, have a conversation, while enjoying some drinks and snacks.

I saw Suki Waterhouse here back in May and it was great! Cute space perfect for indie artists. It was packed but still had an easy enough time seeing the stage/band. Friendly bartender and good drinks. Just an FYI it's a card only bar. Well it was the night I went so maybe take multiple forms of payment.

Just ordered 'fried chicken' delivery. Could not even eat more than a bite people. The worst fried chicken I have ever tasted, or couldn't taste? So bad! This was rubbery unsalted chicken with flabby yellow goose bump looking skin under 1/2" of sweet undercooked corn dog like dough! Soooooo gross!!! Who would think this was okay? We spent $70.00 for two of the chicken meals and a crab salad. The crab salad was tasteless ground crab and hardly a crab Louie. I now just ordered greasy KFC! Though fast food, at least its edible, and can be called 'fried chicken' Go back to cooking school, or any beginner cook book. Make sure you look for fried chicken in the Glossary. Yuckkk

Came here on a Friday just before 11, used the restroom and came back and it was 11:02 and asked to order food and was told kitchen closes at 11. Literally came for the food and the waitress said "come before 11 next time". Last time I came it was closed for a private party. The burger is actually quite good or it was last time I was able to get it but any reasonable staff would accommodate an order at the cut off and given we got in before 11 why not ask if we want to order food.

Didn't appreciate that the event said start at 8 but only started at 8:50pm. Besides this, the event was awesome. Some sound difficulties but overall everyone is having an awesome time dancing around. Great venue for little bands. Cool lighting and decent space size. Cool mood lighting before the show starts and I liked the look of the bar.

Sweet staff, amazing sound & lighting design, small intimate venues always put a smile on my face. There's no bad seat in the house!! Customer service is amazing. I saw a guest's pizza get cleared off the tables & when the guest mentioned that they were still working on their slices, the staff gave them fresh slices on the house :D they have my favorite restrooms in all of the concert venues in the city.

They sell earplugs when you're paying cover. Buy the earplugs. Alternative: Get drinks frequently during the show. The bar is far from the speakers, and it'll take a while to get drinks, because lots of other people are, too. They probably passed on the earplugs, too.

Two things: burger and martini. I always order my martinis with vodka, but the Martini du Nord is with gin and is the best martini I've ever had. If you love martinis come here and get 2 of those and you will be very happy (and very tipsy). The burger here is one of THEE best burgers in SF. Top 3 in my book. Unfriggin-believable! I could write a book about how good it is so just do yourself a favor and go eat it and taste for yourself. Pro tip: if you come for drinks then get the Parker rolls anyways because they are amazing and are a perfect "snack" for when your Martini du Nord accidentally gets you drunk.

This place is just a-okay for me. My friend Stefanie C. and I came during restaurant week and first off - I couldn't find the place. The Viking Room isn't very obviously. It's this separate room in the actual bar area when you first walk in. Slightly confused. Anyways, the room we were in had really loud music. I don't mind it, but I'd like to be able to talk to my friend who I was eating dinner with - and not only that, can some of the waitresses tell people not to have both people sit on the booth? It created a really awkward situation for my friend who sitting on the bench to have almost not enough space. The food though - on point. The oysters - both hot and cold - were good. I did enjoy the baked one better - so good! My first course was the soup - saffron and mussel soup. It was delicious! The celery root and apple was an interesting part of the soup - light crunchy parts to the soup. My main course - the red wine braised short rib - DAMN that was good. I'd go back for that. Also the drink - I love my drink, Romantic setting with the candle light and the music, even if it's loud. Protip: reservations and get the short rib - I hope it's on the regular menu!

I love my dinner dates with Nina Y. because only we would have a conversation about the meaning of our Yelp stars. Perhaps my five stars are not as coveted as hers, but I do think that the food and service at Cafe Du Nord are worthy. I'll start by saying that the Viking Room is not clearly marked, so unless you know where it is, it's really difficult to find... even though it's literally RIGHT THERE when you first walk downstairs into Cafe Du Nord. This was rather confusing and annoying for the both of us. We hadn't even started drinking yet. In the Viking Room, there is live music and romantic lighting. Perfect setting for a date. The music was way too loud at times, but we have no trouble yelling across the table. That seemed to annoy the couple sitting next to us, so they sat next to each other on the booth side of their table which made things super cramped for us. Again... annoying. At this point, I was just excited for the food and drinks because I was NOT impressed by this place so far. We ordered a cocktail which I believe was called the White Knight. Super spicy and perfectly made. They've really mastered their mixology here, at least with this one drink. We came here for SF Restaurant Week, which started off with hot and cold oysters with mignonette. AMAZING. The hot one was surprisingly more tasty. The Billi Bi Soup with apple, celery root, and vadouvan was good too. And then of course the red-wine braised short rib. I was in heaven and would come back to Cafe Du Nord to have this again. Our meal ended with an impressive ice cream sundae. Overall I thought the food was excellent enough to earn five stars from me, though the experience otherwise was not that great. I would come here again but ask to be seated in a different part of the room. Oh and don't forget to make reservations and stay in the main bar area for more fun and drinks!

I went here earlier this year, and then I came back here tonight for the Halloween show, which was gloomy indie rock band Black Heart Procession. They have been around a long time since 1998. The show was supposed to be played at Swedish Hall, but they had a delay because the band got stuck on the road near Mt. Shasta due to fires...as was reported by the lead singer. I really like the dark, dusky, old-fashioned ambiance of Cafe Du Nord. They have new lighting and wood details inside. HOWEVER, this is the worst performance stage in SF. You cannot see the band at all unless you are in the first 1-5 rows of people. The stage is toooo small and low to the ground. Not enough height and space. It looks cramped and uncomfortable..and the stage presence is terrible. But that's how it's been forever right? Well, they could have improved that. I tried the burger. It was $9 and came with fries. It was pretty tasty and satisfied my hunger. Black Heart Procession on Halloween at Cafe Du Nord was awesome. Indie rock style!

I gotta say, it breaks my heart that this onetime delightful, intimate music venue is now an overpriced subterranean restaurant. In the 1990s and the 2000s, I had so much fun at this charming venue. Seriously, heart has been broken.

Such a great venue on Marker Street! Cafe du Nord is under Swedish American Hall, and it has the appearance of a basement speakeasy. There are both table seats & standing room available, as well as seats at the bar. The bar has a good mix of local beers and cocktails. I got the San Franpsycho Juicy IPA, which has become one of my favorite beers. Noise pop books a lot of indie shows here, and there is a lot of local talent & touring bands on the stage. The shows are very reasonably priced, usually under $20, and you can buy tickets online or at the door. Overall, a great time! The kind of venue you can bring your dad and it's not weird.

After reading such great reviews about the food and cocktails, I had my expectations set high but I left disappointed. All of the items tasted like mediocre gastropub food, forgotten as soon as you finished. The cocktails felt rushed and uneven. Great place for music but I would not get yourself excited about the food.

We came to drink, we drunk. Good cocktail and scotch. We were given some appetiser but no real food or entree. That was a little disappointment but to restaurant's fault. Need to find another opportunity to come again when there is a band playing....

Space is pretty big here, good for groups. There was only two bartenders and they take forever the make the drinks. So sometimes the bar looks super packed, but it's just everyone waiting for drinks. I ordered the John hardwaters and it was ok. Place is in a basement. There was no live music that night. There's also a fortune teller photo booth here.

You won't be Cafe du "bored" here. I came after an article from a site that is lesser than Yelp told me it was a top burger. Also that it was open until 1am, i.e. still open after I got out of a film screening at nearby Castro Theater. I admit the music was a little loud. There is no table service and I had to wait at the bar to order my burger. At the end of the day this ended up being totally fine. Because burger. Seriously. It comes with french fries and two dipping sauces for only 14.50. Willkommen to San Francisco. That is a deal. Alright, one of the dipping sauces was ketchup but the other was a kind of horseradish aioli. Spicy! Fun! Adventure! Like Passover in your mouth! The burger was small but not too small. Messy but not an endeavor to accomplish. Buttery, crispy bun. Juice on the fingers. They didn't ask how I wanted the burger done which, frankly, I appreciate. They should know how their burger is best cooked. And boy they did. I didn't order any drinks so I can only speak to the burger. We'll be conversing in this dark corner if you're interested in joining us.

My friends and I decided to go here and I decided this may be a great place to hang out. Turns out, it was just okay. This bar opens at 5PM. Usually, when they put up the sign outside. We went downstairs and it was completely dark. Probably because they were still opening up. Once we were settled, the bartender started putting lit candles around the area to brighten up the room. I wanted to tell her to light up the bulbs just a little. It was worse than Abercrombie in there... Anyway, I ordered an Anchor Lager which was $5 - reasonable. Oh, also the kitchen doesn't open up until 6PM. With that said, we left and ate somewhere else. I was told to give it another chance so... I may be back.

I went for a show! It was awesome. The staff provided good service. The manager came outside to greet us all while we waited. The venue was clean and had nice washrooms. Didn't have to wait a terrible long time for drink service. There wasn't food service which limited my drinking. I came there expecting to eat and drink. The bartender gave us nuts and olives. The venue is intimate and only can hold about 275 people. I gave 5 stars because it was an enjoyable experience for me.

This has become one of my favorite music venues in the city - the space isn't the best designed for shows (it's a narrow basement), but it's just the right size room to see bands on the verge of their big break.

I came here for the facebook holiday party. It's pretty tucked away off of market street, down in the basement. They have upscale drinks, and a lush tavern feel. Come here for fancy drinks, where you can stick your pinky finger out.

We went for Janine's concert only but if I had to come back I'd think about it twice. The bartenders were not pleasant. I think at least 4 people were helped way before us even when we made eye contact with her (white girl). The male bartender was okay. I'm not a bartender but if I see a customer with cash in their hands. I would assume they wanna buy. The bartender that night glanced at us multiple times and did not bother at all. It's a NO for me. Janine's event was great tho. I hope next time she won't perform here.

I can see Cafe Du Nord becoming a regular place for me. The burger and fries were ridiculously good. My only issue was the bun was on the dry side, but at least it soaked up all the delicious meat juice and beef fat. I like my burgers simple where you can distinguish the flavor of the patty, so this definitely fits the bill. The fries were super crisp on the outside and still fluffy on the inside. I might have enjoyed the fries more than the burger itself.

Cafe Du Nord used to be a great music venue that was so fun, unpretentious, chill, with cozy atmosphere. The new owners have taken away all of the soul and character that Du Nord once had. The new incarnation is pretty sterile, void of legitimate touring musicial acts and lacks the unpretentious friendly vibe / staff that once permeated throughout the space. SF has lost so many great night time spots. Here's another, R.I.P Cafe Du Nord.

Love this place. Excellent cocktails -- both on and off menu. The bar staff is knowledgable and I've had a very good experience with requesting custom cocktails. The food is good too. The parker rolls are out of this world! So buttery and garlicky and soft. The jerky is really good too. And the beef tartare is very light and airy. The perfect hi-lo vibe, not so fancy you can't go in jeans and a tshirt, but makes you feel like you're at a place Don Draper would pick up ladies at.

Okay, why did you have to ruin such an amazing place? I miss the cool concert venue with beers served out of real pint glasses and the whole historic feel of the old place. Now, this place requires ressies to go into the separated room to listen to music. I miss the old setup with tickets to a show and great bar scene. I've been to this updated spot twice now and it's just not inviting like it used to be. I suppose they're aiming for a crowd that's not like me. Fair enough.

I DJ'd a private event in the Viking Room. The place is perfect for parties with enough space to socialize and hear the music at a low volume in one room and louder in the adjacent dance area. I tried the burger and it was delicious! The staff were very friendly and a big help throughout the night

I was really in the mood for some loungey music, and we wanted dinner too, so we thought we'd give CDN a try after not having been here in forever. We started out in the main bar area, which had a great selection of bar seats and tables, but that wasn't the experience we were going for. It would have been perfect if we were a group looking for drinks. We quickly found out the live music is only in the Viking Room, and we were lucky to get a table at 9:00. From that point on, it was bliss. For starters, I asked one of the wait staff for a frankly high maintenance request - can you suggest any smokey scotches from this impressive menu that are not from Islay. The guy repeated to himself "smokey, not Islay", and said he'd go ask a bartender. One minute later, out comes a bartender with a bottle, a glass, and a story that made me smile. He had me at cherry wood. $14 for 2 ounces and I was sold. We ordered a bunch of small plates - caesar salad, wings, crudo, brussle sprouts, and burger. Everything we ate was fantastic. Given that this was a live music venue, I wasn't expecting much foodwise, but the food was so good, I would easily come back just for the food alone. Check this out for the crudo: mint, pistachio, avocado, paprika, fish. Then the band came out - an etherial mix of electronica, piano, drums. Dreamy. Lovely. Just perfect for a low key mix of music, lounge, and flavors.
