Like the coolest of rock impresarios, this place is about the music, maaaan. DJs spin everything from Bowie to Blur and this place heaves with live music through the week. From folk, rock, punk, electro-rock—if its got guitars and doesn’t sound like Lamb of God, it’s here.

There may not be much “pop” at this place but there’s definitely a lot of “in”. The pretty pouts of local scenesters sip beer served by the pitcher as indie bands bellow from the numerous performance rooms and downstairs bar. Spangly, Harajuku-inspired outfits adorn regulars who swan amongst musicians, while more laid-back listeners take it all in from above at the upstairs bar.
