Absolutely loved this experience. The live band added an amazing level of creativity to their Thursday open mic. I highly recommend this spot.

If you love alternative R&B, House, seeing amazing local talent, come through and bring a friend. Great spot for a wild Saturday night or if you want to just chill/vibe out during the week.

they lost my credit card at the bar new years eve. by the time they found it again, i'd already cancelled it, and it started a domino effect that ended with me losing my health insurance for non-payment, and i'm STILL trying to get that sorted out. all because i might have wanted another beer and trusted these guys to hang onto my card in case i did. i will probably be back for the music, but I'll be strictly pregaming from now on; i'm never bringing my wallet anywhere near that life-ruining bar again.

Wasn’t planning on stopping by earlier this week, but the doorman was incredibly kind and invited us in. I can’t complain about the service, because they were kind. I was a little surprised when my bank notified me that I left a 50% tip even though I clearly remember tipping my normal 20% ! Not a good look for Café Racer…

HD LED Video wall, VOID sound system, and SO much character. The new management is super invested in creating a top tier venue. Love it!

No food items - bartender was dismissive. They also tried to play the assumed "need change back?" $10 bill on a $7 can. Hard alcohol had limited/poor selection.The biggest reason never to return? Went to see a friend's band play. They were charged $150 to play (they realized after the fact, maybe it was a strange marketing option, where they mention your band on the website?). $10 cover. No room for a merch table, no posters up for current/future bands, no link to their music.So strange. Pay the venue to advertise for the venue, which looked like just mentioning the band's name on a calendar.

How y’all going to kick us out BEFORE 12:00 and say it is midnight, we all paid 30$ for tickets and did not get the full concert in at all very unprofessional security as well.

Such a fun place! Very welcoming to all, and even the bathrooms are trans-friendly. We were here for a private event, but will definitely return for a night out in the future!
