Fantastic! I am so glad they FINALLY opened. The space is beautiful and the experience delightful. My boyfriend and I went on the cusp on a Sunday afternoon. Eight different wineries are represented- most of from the Napa/Sonoma areas. Unfortnuately there is no full pours or consumption of purchased bottles on site... yet. We had a great time... forget going to Napa when they come to us!

Really nice upper scale bar/ lounge. There is a large area to host private parties. I have been here twice once right when happy hour started and once later in the night. Due to the design of the bars it can be a bit difficult to walk around when it it is really crowded. Good selection of wine, food, champagne, and beer.

It's one of the longest running open mics in the country for a reason. The crowd is always lit. The energy is amazing. Whether you're a performer, a fan, or have a Tuesday night free, it's a great way to spend an evening. The line starts forming super early but folks bond during the wait. It's like Disneyland. It's worth it. Get there early, especially if you plan to get on the mic.

It’s a safe space. Low lit and welcoming. 20 people get to sign up a night and it’s about 2.5 hours, depending on how long performers go. They line up early to get a chance to use this place and it’s beautiful. Under 18 welcomes. Only water in the theatre out of respect. Snapping preferred over clapping. The owners are the hype men and it’s fun! So happy to have found this placeπŸ’—πŸŽ™

What time do doors open and what time does show start?

Cookie B. | Sep 2, 2019
Galee Khau | Sep 2, 2019

Show starts at 8:00 but people are lining up around 7:00. If you want a chair, I'd recommend lining up around 7:15. Otherwise you'll be sitting on the stage. Doors open about 10 mins before show starts.

Brianna Taylor | Sep 2, 2018

All ages are welcome I believe, but content can get pretty explicit.

Hello, I am 12 years old, my name is Emmanuel Lopez and I was very interested in what you’re offering. I have been told by many I write at an adult level and my poetry is very true to heart. I wanted to know if there is an age restriction to perform.
