A nice place to go to see a live show, have a drink and a snack. Check there lineups and order ahead. Amazing sound and it's the oldest coffee house running in the country.

One of the best, most intimate venues we've visited for bluegrass music. Loved it!

A small, historic venue (dating back to 1960), with wonderful acoustics and friendly staff.They have both alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages, along with light bites and a lovely dessert menu.Went there for the first time to see Chatham County Line, it was very special to see them in such an intimate and legendary venue!!

Went to a showing on a wintertime Saturday. Quite a nice establishment with a welcoming atmosphere, and the hot beverages served came in some nice big mugs. It’s a somewhat small space though, so I would potentially be concerned about the risk of pathogens spreading.If names like Dar Williams or John Gorka mean anything to you, I recommend checking out the acts they have scheduled.

I mean, where else can you see a premier songwriter like Richard Shindell??? Phenomenal concert and experience!

Great show but sold out means no elbow room. The man sitting in front of me kept pushing his chair back into me and the guy next to me kept rubbing his leg against me.

The singer we heard was incredible. That show deserves much more than 5 stars by itself. Mary Fahl, we loved you! I kept looking at the head of the stairs as I visualized Lena sitting there holding court over her domain. Lovely memories. The facility, however, was much too crowded. There were personal space issues for the ladies in my group. Going into detail wouldn't help, but that was a one star aspect of the evening. Service was poor. I understand the staff is comprised of volunteers but nobody came to our table. The other folks in our party had to go find someone to take a wine order. I assumed that would draw a server to our table, but no. I had to get up and find one during intermission. I have no idea what was wrong. Every other table was successfully ordering. I don't want to discourage folks from attending but you need to go with an understanding of what to expect in terms of personal space and service. It's a unique experience in more ways than one.
Intimate music venue that is welcoming and most enjoyable. Limited menu of food and drinks should meet your needs. We had the cheese platter and it was delicious. The act that evening was great. We will be back again.

Small but quaint music venue. Intimate setting. Nice historical photos adorn the walls. Food and drinks are limited but reasonable.
