Dig right in, they’ll take care of the mess!

For Sunday Brunch, and also on Tuesday and Wednesday evenings, from 6:30 PM CDT – 8 PM CDT, the venue offers a spectacular lineup of local African American musicians, mostly jazz artists you may have seen and heard around, especially before the COVID retrenchment of live music. Come out and play now that things are open again.
