Most any instrument welcomed with some considerations; Bass guitar w/amp is preferred but at low volume please and though percussion is ok, drums
must tailor fit (if you require drums they must be a small kit and be at a low volume
only) Bands are welcomed (bring all your own amps if needed, direct lines are
provided) Always bring your own instruments, mics, cables, tuners, stands, etc...

occasional covers of a traditional coffeehouse
flavor with lotsa room for the young new groups mixed in with some all time great classics and forgotten favorites.
Comics, Poets and Performing Arts are all welcomed (blue material curbed when children are present).
House reserves the right to shut down any overly
loud or offensive performances.
