Description:
Cinematically inclined bar with stage and private performance space. Buddy Johnnie E. used to work here while doing his travelling cinema, I lived just blocks away, we'd explore the empty 50K gallon mayonnaise vats dangling from the ceiling and walk the catwalks undetected by the drinking patrons below. Other good memories include the Burlesque Humour Acrobatics of the Pontani Sisters, a very intimate performance by the Rachels and an inspiring show by the Tracktenberg Family Slide Show Players (with the 9 year old drummer). That back room is also notorious for about 20 very loudly breaking beer glasses, especially during movie events (that i'd always try to scam free tix to with carrie).
